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!

Outbid by a £1 I'm afraid.

cherriesfan wrote:i do hope i get heskey for teh ridiculas price i paud for him

I think the fact that you were willing to pay for him probably gives you a headstart on other potential suitors

i do hope i get Davie Weir - i only bid 48 m so am a little worried

Without going into details, I went for most of my players £1M at the most over their transfermarkt value, it's about picking the right players rather than paying over the odds for the big names.

Obviously I didn't get 6 of them, but it means I can work to my budget much better.

I did the same tactic but went 500k more.
That failed big style as I missed out on 11 players!

Ditto, except I picked a couple of players, where I bumped it up a little more (£2m ish).

And didn't get 10 of them (and counting)

another player down

4 now

I just noticed Hero wasn't working to my amended team sheet, because it didn't send. But it did sent to Sodhat, so hopefully he can verify it for Hero. I got a PM to say I was 7 down, but that's off the old squad.

Marky - if you want to PM it to me, I will check it against the team lists up on the admin page

I'm in the process of amending it now Marky

Got your PM, seems i've lost more players from my amended list

Yep lol, and paid more for the ones you got!

All my players have been lost in the same positions

Macclads wrote:Yep lol, and paid more for the ones you got!

That only proves I wasn't cheating

I really got my hopes up when you hadn't told me I hadn't got xxxx and xxxxxx...

Last night from 6pm till 9:30pm I was looking for players and didn't get most of my targets but I'm not going to go pay over the top for them.

40+ million to spend again

I don't get it how do you know that you've got these players? Isn't the deadline for Draft 1 till Thursday?

Nobody knows for certain yet on which players they have got.
They only know for certain on players they haven't got.

But if we're told we definitely haven't got some players, it means we're currently leading the race for the other players.

Marky wrote:But if we're told we definitely haven't got some players, it means we're currently leading the race for the other players.

Or you're tied...

Yes that would be correct, though don't presume you then have the player as with possibly up to 3 more teams to come in you may be outbid.

I remember watching Aberdeen earlier this season, I think it was vs Hibs. Either way, it wasn't a great game and the referee sent an Aberdeen player off for a tackle that wasn't even a booking!

Probably Considine or Jack

Sodhat are you from Scotland?

VivaPaulScholes wrote:Sodhat are you from Scotland?

No, it was on Sky and they had no other football to watch

It must be TSC because all he ever does with Fan is talk about Scottish Football, William Wallace and the actual country.

Fan who is the greatest Scottish manager ever? An in Scotland are you allowed to wear a leather Skirt?

no we dont wear leather anything lol

Yeah TSC is from Scotland. Dundee I think he said. V2 is a pan-national site!

Yes it is I know we have memebers from England, Scotland, Wales, USA, Australia, Pakistan, Canada, New Zealand, Russia.

I don't know if you lot are young enough to have heard of Jay Z and Kanye West well basically they are rappers from New York and Kanye West in one of his videos wears a leather skirt and it looks so cool. They made a song called N****** In Paris, the beat on the song is too sick when you go home type it on youtube you get sucked into the zone.

Yeah I'm from Scumdee.

Fan, whatever happened to that guy Maguire?

went to Derby and has done nothing - idiot
