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!

night all, be back on at 2pm tomorrow

for those of you who dont know me, I work shifts and am only on when at work

Hero, I have made this article an announcement so that it is above the stickies.

BTW in teh table and fixture i want my teams full name written down

I have sent my team off.

So, Scotland football fans, how many of you will be paying to watch the Slovenia friendly?

I'd rather give money to Lucifer himself... Who actually plays for the mighty Slovenia?

I Didnt even know our opponent was Slovenia

All proceeds will go to the 'Save Rangers' fund Nay

According to transfermarkt...the most valuable player is the GK:

And the most expensive outfield player is this guy (who I think looks like Dominic Cork's shady brother):

http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/josip-ilicic/profil/spieler_80351.html

More like 'Save Primetime', I can't believe they're expecting people to pay to watch that one, available content must be low!

Not to be unkind to Scottish fans, but do you guys care enough to pay for a friendly...? If it was England I'd never in a million years buy it!

Fan signed Ilicic on the FFA if I remember correctly, so I guess he is a decent player. Can't say I've seen much of him, ESPN only tends to show certain Italian teams...

Slovenia were at the last WC weren't they, in England's group?

Yeah he does look a bit like him.

Great, a goalkeeper who we'll never beat and a guy who's scored 2 league goals this season... He's obviously going to bag a hat-trick against us.

And sod, watching Scotland is like watching a much less glamorous Stoke City. Think Stevenage. I try and watch as little of us as possible. The thing is, I actually don't like half the players that play for us (BoozeBag McGregor to name one).

Handanovic is a brilliant keeper, rated by none other than Buffon as the best in Serie A and one of the best around in all leagues.

I tried to sign him on FL, but kept getting turned down.

Craig Gordon is rated by Buffon too....

Well as it stands I've missed out on 10 players including both star players I went for!

1 person has managed to outbid everyone else so far and hasn't missed out on a single player.

I bet it was Fan because he probably went for players no one has ever heard of

How many more are you waiting on?

I have currently 13 complete team sheets in which are...

Macclads
Marky
Fernando
TSC
CherriesFan
Nay Bother
TheBrahmaBull
Fan Gilhaus
BigFellasAfro

I have a team sheet in from Ollyrules but he's put in min and max bids so it needs redoing with an actual definitive price for each player.
And then its just if anyone else wishes to join up before the deadline of Thursday 5pm.

If anyone does wish to know who they have definately missed out on at this stage please let me know.
If I tell you though it does mean you CANNOT edit your team until after I have revealed the first batch of players everyone was successful with.

Must be cherries, i cant imagine anyone else would want Heskey

Hero, could let me know who I didn't get please?

FC united of Bournmeouth Town and Boscombe City Athletic Wanderers Football Club FTW

Nah, Jacamos United!! (or ΜμπcΗεπ βαγεrπ, I haven't decided yet)

Can you let me know please, just so that I can start scouting.
Cheers

I'd like to know who I definitely haven't got. Like YI, I can then scout replacements.

same i want to know who i got aswell

Cherries - you won't know who you have got as there as still teams to be submitted and you could still be outbid on all your players.

It's who you definately haven't got that's on offer

As in if I bid £6M on Joe Bloggs and Twist bid £7M for him, I definitely haven't got him.

I hope not though, Joe Bloggs is class

Joe Bloggs has been great this season.

Twist has got a bargain there

in RL bournemouth and there mega rich russian owner is prepping a 10mil bid for him

Cue people searching transfermarkt for Joe Bloggs, just in case

Well according to Macs I am either the best manager going, or I have got a team of aliens.

Surprised really, some names I thought I would get I haven't, but others I thought I wouldn't get I appear to be leading!

Time to get scouting though, 6 new players to find!

is all i can say so far

3 to find for me. 2 defenders and a LW so im pretty happy with that.

id appreciate know as well if can

Hoping to sign A Trialist,

his goalscoring record at the start of every season is phenomenal

Not shabby on who i have missed out on so far, time to let the scout meet the transfermarkt

I missed out on 9 of mine!!!

BigFellasAfro wrote:I missed out on 9 of mine!!!

That is half your squad! Sorry to hear that Afro, but I think both you, Macs, fan and maybe nicks squad will be nearly the same

I've still got 12 remaining, so if I can get them, I will be able to put out a competitive team.

And it does look like me and Hero went for quite a few of the same players

Afro and I had 6 players the same which was more shared than anyone else!

I have at present 9 players out of a possible 19

im expecting to get 4 of mine and all reserve players at that so shall go on the hunt again

Want me to PM you on who you've currently missed out on Nando?

i got all of mine

did i outbid anyone? or am i unique

Can I put my players I do have on my teamsheet, or not yet?

We went to the same school of great managers Hero.

Obviously Hero was a few years ahead of me in a class with SAF and Bill Shankly.

not yet YI still waoting on some teams teamsheets

speaking of going to school with famous people..............

Not yet.

As there still maybe more teams to come in and if they see how much you've bid they can easily beat it.
