The 606v2 Euro Division

First topic message reminder :

I'm looking to put together a new league over the next couple of weeks and am just this out to garner levels of interest as there are already a couple of leagues out there so I don't want to swamp the section.

Where this will be different to the existing leagues is that the sides involved are entirely made up.
You don't inherit a pre-made European side.

Instead you make your own.
You would initially start with £150m with which to buy a MINIMUM of 15 players and a MAXIMUM of 23 players.
The prices for these players are determined entirely through the transfermarkt website.

http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/

But here's where it gets interesting...the prices that are used on transfermarkt are the minimum you can bid, because other people in the league may also want the same person, so do you risk bidding the flat fee or do you bid more (increased bids have to be a minimum £500k more), the other point of note at this stage is that the maximum value player you can bid on is £15m (though you can choose to bid more than the £15m to get the player)

You then get an ADDITIONAL £50m with which to purchase upto 2 STAR players (min 1), though the maximum you can spend on 1 player is £35m.
This will then result in you having a team of a minimum of 16 players and maximum of 25 players.
You then have to name the team, give it a location where they play their home games and send this via PM to myself and Sodhat before the cut off point (to be decided).
Results of who got which player will then be announced and for those that lost out on players due to being outbid, a second chance is available to acquire players before the league starts, and third etc if needed.

Number of leagues is dependent upon how many players participate.

Foreign transfers.
As the only deciding factor for selling a player is cash then there shouldn't be wrangles over if a TP is accepted or not, if you have the cash you can buy!
TPs though will only go through once a week on a Sunday night for the week ahead.
Max transfer value for bringing in a player from foreign transfers is £15m in Season 1.
You can only make 2 foreign transfers per week.

Domestic transfers
Players can move only twice between domestic clubs per season, once they have moved twice you will have to wait until the following season to sell to another domestic club.
They can though be released or sold to an outside club.

For anyone that joins the league after it begins then the following rule applies for the first two weeks:
Transfers between 2 domestic clubs must be within 20% of each other in total monetary value. So for example if Team A wish to buy a player from Team B worth £10m then they must offer between £8-£12m in player/cash value.
Note that once 2 weeks have passed then the manager is allowed to but and sell as they please but this rule is in place to combat the usual bombardment of silly offers that litter the new managers page.

Injuries
Injuries shall be announced once per week on a Sunday night, they shall consist of 2 players, one based from the team picked for the previous weeks game and one from the entire squad.

Tactics

Each week you shall play 1 game, either league or cup (no more than one game per week though), tactics for this game shall consist of a team sheet, injuries for your team, if your team is home or away and a maximum of 15 bullet point lines worth of team instructions.
As well as the tactical instructions you are allowed 2 extra lines of a team talk to motivate your players, show your worth not just for tactics but how you build players up for the game!

Cash

Each week you receive 2m for a win, 1m for a draw, zilch for a loss.
You also receive an extra £1m per week for ensuring your tactics are handed in on time and you've voted on the results.
Each week there shall be a £1m cash bonus to the team voted best tactics.

Hopefully this is enough to entice to sign up! If you have any further questions then please do not hesitate to ask and I look forward to seeing your team sheets!

I'd go back in time and have games at Crawley's old Town Mead ground, but it wouldn't be allowed in the Conference South these days

I'm presuming that I definately have one player and that man is:

Aaron 'Wilbrahamovic' Wilbraham

not usre what to name my team thoughts?

Right, I have it now.

Ebbsfleet United will be my team. I might even go for Ricky Shakes Shakes Shakes.

I would only assume I have 1 player of my 19 man squad, but even then i'm not confident enough to name him!

I could have saved a couple of million to spend on Tyrone Barnett and Matt Tubbs, but I got greedy in midfield!

FC United of Manchester? Nah, that's a stupid name

I fear me and Tooze may have a bidding war over quite a few players

For every team fighting over Ibrahimovic, there's you two fighting over Wilbrahamovic

Lol he is a beast

TBF my team name revolves around me getting heskey

I don't imagine you getting much competition for him TBH

Have you guys gone for many lower league players?

3 AFCB palyers

i went for 1

If I get a certain player I will have pulled off a fantastic coup. But probably not

And no, I didn't go for anyone from the "lower leagues" (except one SPL player )

suppose, when do you start going for players?

right am in after reading the rules

now can I pm the players I want or do I wait?

You do it now, create your team, check it's within the £150M limit, then your 1 or 2 star players, and send the PM to sodhat and to Macclads.

Hi Fan, good to see you onboard.
Once you've picked your team please PM it to me and Sodhat (he's ensuring that I do not alter my team based on what others are picking)
Everyone will be notified on Sunday on which players they were successful with.

ok

So

Team Name:-
Team Base:-
Players Wanted & Bids:-

ok mate, done can you check make sure i have done it properly?

Can I go on some sort of reserve list on here, for when (or if...) someone drops out?

Saves me the hassle of making a team myself, plus I've seen a bunch of peoples now and I could usurp their players!

sodhat - pmd you my team can you check and make sure I have complied with the rules, think I have

Has this begun? Am I too late?

For the record, I can give it a go as a league runner if you're short on volunteers.
