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!

Side note, Crawley Town have sold Tyrone Barnett to Peterborough this afternoon. I'm sad but he's class, I wasn't being bitter when I said he's better than Matt Tubbs, the fact he's gone to Championship side Peterborough for a loan fee and transfer fee equalling £1.4M proves that. Staggering money for a League 2 side.

Makes a mockery of the Transfer Window though, Peterborough signing him on loan with the permanent deal to be completed at the end of the season!

That's a big blow to your promotion hopes surely Marky

It is, although we signed Shaun Batt on loan from Millwall earlier today, obviously ahead of this news breaking. We've lost Tubbs and Barnett for a total £2.2M, spent £150k on Billy Clarke from Blackpool and got Sanchez Watt, Shaun Batt and Karl Hawley on loan, as long as they score for us we'll do alright and have that money to reinvest in the summer.

Viva - it's £35m max spend for a star player but they can be any value up to that

Regular squad can be a max value of £15m on transfermarkt

I've given my side entrance music.

Not as yet, you know who is bad enough!

Not got any more team sheets as of yet.

I'm thinking of a name for my team.

Making a 23 man team is harder then I think. Will be on all night looking for a side.

All night? I've got nothing better to do than watching Chelsea v Nippoli

I keep toying with the idea of dropping the Crawley Town thing and just going all out comedy. But i'll regret it within a fortnight and keep changing team names

Bravefarts Utd
Shuntingsheep F.C
Getitrightupye
Haggismunchers
Haggis & Irn Bru Albion

We do a work prediction league and I select the fixtures each week, including one random one.

I always select Nice v Brest for the childish comedy value

That's brilliant.

Morning.....

Ebbsfleet lost 6-1 (at the very least...i stopped watching after the 6th goal) to Fleetwood last night.

Therefore I am changing my team name to.........I dunno yet

lol Morning Twist.

On the bright side Twist, it finished 6-2

Marky wrote:On the bright side Twist, it finished 6-2

Well that makes a lot of difference. I would not be worried about using their name now.

I was asked whether I wanted to go up on the coach to Fleetwood as well. Think of the poor away fans.

Anyway, I am going to think of a new name. Judging by the name I am using currently, the new one should be on the lines of "Having You're Ass Served On A Plate Utd"

another day closer, another morning waking up without the dreaded hero PM

I lost a key player

I saw that Fleetwood v Ebbsfleet was on last night, shocking that it had to be done on a Tuesday night. Long, long way to travel, the very South East to the very North West.

Terrible really Marky, I would have had to take the day off work and probably today as well.

Some of the lads did it and fair play to them. Utmost respect for them. They Premier Inn-ed up there and probably downed a few.

It's amazing how many good players you can find for £16m.....

Some players are very hotly contested on the lists so far so whoever gets them at least knows they are rated!

I do have more bad news on the way, just working through the lists at present!

Morning

Afro I've left you a message from yesterday really really important.

Oh man.

I didn't get Tomas Brolin

i think i still have a chance with Daniel Prodan
