Pooly

I have moderator access for this forum as well now, so if you want any other threads in the top box like on the other AP game just let me know mate.

Good knowing people in high places

All Falcons players available. Need some major improvements it seems!

Just finished my predictions, took near enough all day! Tried to be constructive guys and will try to remain that way for the season.

Great turnout on predictions so far....

Is everybody happy with timings ect?? Naming teams, tactics, predo's

I like monday night for end of predictions, gives me a weekend to look at it, no way I could do that during the week. Think it works well, well done pooly.

Whens the EPS named then?

Yeah I'm happy with it, like the added Monday part!!

January the 11th for the EPS?

Might change it to teams in by Thursday night and tactics Saturday so everybody gets a look at opposition

Morning all, is it foreigns today? Need to get my thinking cap on if so. Got a heart vs. head scenario!

FOREIGNS ARE OPEN

What's the deal for foreigns in terms of when bids are accepted/rejected?

at least 24 hours after the bid I believe Pete. but not so that if you have the highest bid for over 24 hours he is automatically signed.

I think

I'll get round to them tomorrow at some point

Can people make offers as opposed to saying "what for ???"

Really low on time so much easier.

Got some squad players available for cash

Got loads available for casg & cash + players

Oh pooly, you got players for sale for cash? Didn't realise, you should have said earlier

Just on releases mate, you're budget will be adjusted when I mark

Chris York - £5m
Tomas Vallejos - £5m
Peter Browne - £2m

All available

Morning all,

It's great that I have my own team to manage, but makes it hard to look at objectively. Had some interesting and fair comments about back three and centres, but which to improve first? Who is the weak link

11 Banahan
12 Barkley
13 Hipkiss/Carraro
14 Biggs
15 Bendy

I'm thinking Barkley?

I think in terms of this game looking at all the starting backlines, yours is a pretty good one.

Abendanon for me is hit and miss. Was class against Irish but have seen him been exposed in defence a lot this season. Barkley hasnt regained form since injury but that might come in time. So I guess at the moment 12 is your weakest link, but Barkely might come good soon.

To be fair Bathite, none of them are particularly a weak link, certainly not at this stage in the game anyway, where other teams are not filled with world class stars in every position.

Defensively you back three can be got at though, particularly in bad weather conditions, as can Barkley. As an attacking unit, in good conditions it's as good as anyones in this league at the moment.

Thanks a lot, really helpful. Shaw and Franks adds that grunt to the pack, so i'm hoping that will give Classens and Donald quicker ball and more space, which should make the backs look even better?

Can't justify a speedster winger just yet, need to secure ball first, especially in the prem, basics basic basics. No use me having Digby if he doesn't get the ball!

Might get me some cover for Barkley then

Agree with Nick & Pete, it's not about finding starts in every position and your side has a nice balance to it.

I'd possibly look at replacing Barkley with a bulldozing 12 to give you another game plan.

Should I be looking at a 10 or a 7 as my next foreign? Noticed a few people calling me up with not having a natural 7!

I think 10, not convinced that Burns is quite there yet and you havn't got a back up that pushes him in my opinion.

That's what I was thinking too!! Now to make the tough decision of which one to go for....so many available I think I feel a list coming!

Spent about 30mins in my head last night trying to work out my next target, couldn't bloody sleep!

Haha, my first target was easy i've got a couple of names i'm thinking about for the next one!

Priestland or Warburton, decisions decisions

I'm torn between another backrower or a tighthead prop. In real life, Wasps scrum has been going OK for a change. Backrow seems to be so important and getting quick ball for my back line is vital.

Anyone that prevents Tim Payne from getting near a rugby pitch gets my vote!

Tim Payne has been solid this season. People been saying he is in the best form of his career.
Never thought I would say that.

Broster was goood against Leicester also. Added the loose work to his game so you don't mind him going backwards in the occasional scrum.

Payne has been past awful this season for me, terrible rugby player. Seems to have found a whole new low.

He was pretty good v Tigers though which totally threw me

Payne has been alright this year. Not reached his lows of last year.

Still can't believe he was called onto the Lions tour.

"Still can't believe he was called onto the Lions tour"

With you there, Matt loves bringing that one to the front when the Payne debate comes about. Damn McG!!

AS THERE'S A FULL SET OF BIDS IN I'LL BE TAKING A LOOK AT FOREIGN BIDS A LITTLE EARLY AND EVERYBODY WILL GET A RESPONSE IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS

there another friendly this week pooly?
when will the league start?

Another friendly would be good, try out a few different combinations.
