New League Squad Limit Rules to be introduced!

From season 4, there will a 25 man league squad limit from which you will be able to select players to play in league games.

These will be the 25 players from which your injuries will be drawn so as to prevent managers from the bigger, richer teams from diluting the risk of their stars picking up injuries.

You will be able to take players in and out of your League 25, but from the point that injuries are drawn that is the 25 that you must select your league team from. Injuries will now be drawn on Wednesdays

Your overall squad can remain larger than 25, but your League eligible 25 must be shown separately. Players outside of the 25 can still play in cup and European competitions.

Thanks guys. I do complain when I don't win a match but don't take notice of it unless it was the match against Spurs I get over it after a bit.

Liverpool were 5th when he left. It's only Pull getting wins against Fulham and Spurs, and Sunderland and Spurs dropping away, that got them anywhere close.

Not sure that had much to do with MelonHead.

How else do you do a far set of results without it relying on one person's whim or opinion?

This voting system is not perfect, but it's as good as I have seen in any of these leagues.

If anyone knows a better way, then speak now.

How about all votes are PM'd to the person calculating results next season? That way nobody can vote for/against a manager just because they did the same to him?

Okay that's fine Nicky, just had a quick look over and saw I didn't predict many wins.

And excellent idea smarts, much better.

good idea smarts.

I was watching this wicked programme called Spartacus:Blood and Sand. Check it out. Lots of action and not for the faint hearted.

Afro, can you make an announcement on the homepage that Season 2 lawyers are available to be bidded in via transfer pendings from Wednesday(tomorrow)...

That programme is borderlining on porn Nadz you sicko!

Nah wernt Fan Afro. But serious, this manager never game me a win once, and the a week I didnt had tactics there was a vote for me to lose with an explanation, viva seen it. Had to laugh at it in the end though.

Was it me Nick? I don't think so as I didn't let personal feelings get in the way of voting.

No smarts it wasnt you.

i watch it for the action and fights smarts.

Was it me?

If not, I may just vote for you to lose every week next season, even though you don't even have a team

NO Afro it wasnt. His identity will stay hidden, only Viva knows.

Afro, I dont have a team. If you give me Wolverhampton Wanderers FC then Ill play

No team, I am just going to vote every week "Nick loses"

Voting will be done in secret for season 4.

All votes will be PM'd to Andy (to calculate) and myself (to ensure Andy can't cheat).

Voting will be done in secret for season 4. - Awsome, I want back in

AN what happens when you and andy play?

Anyone got a striker for sale? Willing to spend £20m. No rubbisg strikers just good ones.

AN what happens when you and andy play?

Well Viva, they probably get each others sausages out like Lotion men tend too.

"Outside the country, Barca and Real Madrid have much more financial power than they had 14 years ago because they have individualised their TV rights. So they, at the moment, with teams like Man City and Chelsea, can take who they want."

What a statement from Wengerbum. No mention of Man United in the whole article. I think after the 8-2 drubbing hes just erased Manchester United from his memory all together.

You explain to me how that causes any problems, how you are anticipating us fixing something and what we are going to fix and I will find a solution.

Lol Viva, if either of Andy, Afro decide to fix the result to benefit their team don't you think the other manager might have something to say about it?

Or he means that players don't pick United anymore when facing a choice. I think the suggestion is that the majority of players will choose Barca, Real, Chelsea or Man City over Man U these days.

Sounds about right to me, with perhaps the exception of Chelsea, which may be more 50/50

Ashley Young picked us, BOOOOOM
Were smashing it anyway so far so feck em, feck em allllll.

Im off ladies. Gotto go do some shizzle.

Peace out yall, even you smarts

Noone else went for Young did they? Thought it was choice of you and Villa.

Who was the last player that United signed, who chose United over one or more of City, Chelsea, Barca or Real?

Available for cash at Fulham:
Mark Schwarzer
Mathieu Debuchy
Dedryck Boyata (ENG) (U21)
Alessandro Gamberini
Carlos Bocanegra
Zdravko Kuzmanovic

If you had any players on loan for season 3, please can you remove them from your team page now as they should be going back to their parent club.

If you have a FF that you wish to exercise, then this should be done by the end of Wednesday.

Likewise, if you loaned out players for season 3, please add them back to your team list.

Any money that you agreed to pay at the end of the season, as part of any transfer, should now be paid.

Finally, the following can add the bonuses from their season 3 sponsors for their league place (if they have not already done so):

Everton - £16m
Liverpool - £8m
Sunderland - £8m
Blackburn - £12m

i'll give you 5mill for reyes.

I'm going to price Reyes using your price guides - £15m for Reyes as you won't be able to get better through the TPs

well i got him about a month ago from foreigns for 7mill for aston villa untill otw sold him. So im not offering any more.

surely if he was bought from foreigns for 7m, then you'd have to bid more than 7m to get him and 5m is a joke.

Tbh nadeem, your pricing is a joke, but unfortunately an unfunny one.

In Nadeem's defence, you are trying to sign his best players and offering worse players in their place. I'm pretty sure both you and Nadeem both would prefer his players.

He doesn't want to sell those players and has therefore put a premium price on them, which is fair enough.

i dont care if you got a problem with how i rate players otw. If i want to buy coentrao of you i'll offer 19mill. Thats how much nick bought him for. Now if i offer you 19mill will you accept it or not? Obviousley your not gonna accept it as he is worth more than 19mill. You would price him at 30+ million. Im just doing the same thing so get your head out your ar$e and stop bitching please.

no, you don't get it.

bidding 5m for reyes is a laughable offer.

i don't have a problem with you making your players expensive, but there's a limit.
65m for cleverley and hazard... no

if i WANTED to sell i would have for about 30mill for both of them.
BUT.......
I DONT want to sell them thus the high price.
Footballing Philosophy 101.

lol nadeem and skid marks are fighting lol hahaha

Afro how is it that Sunderland get 50% wins and 50% draws and 0% losses they get the win but I 43% win and 43% draw and 14% loss but I lose.

You didn't lose, you drew. The rule is that if you get 50% of the vote, then you win, otherwise it's a draw.

So in your game, more people felt you wouldn't win then those who felt you would.

It is not a perfect system, but as we have said before, there is no perfect system. This one at least takes everyone's votes into account and cannot be heavily distorted by one person who shows favouritism or a grudge.

Having said that, any suggestions for better methods are welcomed.

I agree with viva that in that scenario you should win.

But I'll agree with viva on anything

also otw i bought reyes for 7mill from pendings. Smartest is the one who accepted that. So if your calling my 5mill offer laughable then your also taking the pi$$ out of smarts. I got nuff respect for afro as he values reyes at 15mill and i value him at no more than 7mill. Thats finished. But what gives you the right criticizing other peoples transfer dealings.

I'm saying that if you buy someone in transfer pending, then you should bid more than 7m you plonker. Or at least 7m

Like I said, and I'm not being sarcastic, I am open to better suggestions for calculating results.

Afro now that you explained it, it's fine no I can't think of a better method, I just wanted to know how it works.

OTW, I agree that we should be together.

Nadeem what you on about, just pay the fee or go to sleep, don't make me use my rap lines on you and then you start to get scared and ask Nick for backup.

but afro has put him up for sale. If i bought ben arfa for 10mill from foreigns and i want to sell him and you offer 8mill i might accept it as i might need the money and its only a 2mill loss.

Nadeem your dad seen the £24m budget on your Aston Villa page and thought it was real. He phoned you and told you to buy him some zameen in Pakistan so he could build a house and put donkeys in there hahahaha.

Not sure what you guys are arguing about but if Nadeem wants to sell Hazard for £40M it's his player so he can ask what he wants for him. Nobody will pay that so he will end up keeping him and everybody is happy. Why would he want to sell a key player on the cheap.

Anyone got a centre forward for sale? Please speak now.

When are we starting next season? I'm thinking of getting the draws done for Europe straight away.

viva - bellamy is for sale if you want him.

£4m for Bellamy.

I need two people to help me with the champions league draws.
