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 have 4 players all of which are defenders

RW, AM, CF i missed out on

Typically, i've got 5 out of 5 Attacking Midfielders, but 3 out of 7 defenders and 1 out of 3 Defensive Midfielders.

Although both Star Players still intact...

I have 11 players though.


Sorted

Where we stand is as follows...

I have 15 teams in.
Sodhat wishes to join but he can only do so in phase 2 of the draft as he has seen all the picks for the 1st draft.
Nick also said he wished to join but is currently not about.
If both join that leaves us on 17 which is a nightmare of a number to work with.
So ideally we could do with one more team signing up after that to take it to 18, or for Nick/Sodhat to go on the waiting list to drop it to 16.

CF would still give you a clean sheet win with 2 of fans players scoring the goals

put ehm on the waiting list Nick is always on and had plenty time

that way you can start firing squads out so sodhat can prepare his

I'm playing that formation for the week I play v Cherry.

If I put Nick on the waiting list though it'd mean he could only either join from the second draft phase or once a manager drops out.

well he has had plenty time, like said he is on every day from 9-5 Mon-Fri

then ideally 16 teams

He'd be pre-occupied with his own league as well

We want Sodhat or no one at all dammit!

Nick has had something personal come up earlier in the week guys so please throw him a little slack on this.

well its stalling this getting going tbh mate

Hardly, I set an initial deadline of Thursday team time for people to register and Sunday tea time for teams to be in.
We are 4 days ahead of schedule!

I didn't mean about that, I mean about Macc saying there are 15 teams in.

hmmm ok

fair enough if he has an issue but then their's no guarantee he'll actually be back tomorrow anyway if it's that serious my dad was due back from Wales last thursday but he's still there due to my grandad being ill.

There's no guarantee but we have emailed him to see, so if he hasn't come back by tomorrow then we will make a start on it with Sodhat taking the last spot.

So who's dropped out then out of;

personally i would give it tosodhat, nick on waiting list, am sure he wont have to wait long

Ignore me, for some reason I couldn't see Nick's name on the list

So Sodhat would replace Nick, I get it now.

Isn't pull involved in this so wouldn't we already have 16? since he not on the list

give it to sodhat for now then crank them out man lol

you guys just want Sodhat,

As it means you are currently in pole position for the players you have

Not Basle's night, is it?

want to see the b******s that nicked my players

didnt even think o that

Nay Bother wrote:you guys just want Sodhat,

I have had no say in the argument, but if I did, I would have said exactly that

Yes, just got in and no PM from Hero

has pull backed out again cos he not on the list?

Pull isn't taking part so we're on 15 at the mo.
It's one day to wait guys, I'm currently in the worst position so am chomping at the bit to be able to try and get more players in.

am actually liking the look of my team, if no one else buys my players, without 3 1st team players I need

Its pretty well balanced and a really good CM partnership

mac just start dishing out

Give Sodhat the last place and put Nick on waiting list am sure a position will come up soon

There's still another day to apply Fan. Tomorrow night is the latest I think

just thinking Nick wont be onif he has issues

Just give him time and he might turn up.

I notice the League A and League B

Is that going to be a Promotion/Relegation thing or just run side by side?

It's in the rules Marky

I couldn't see it in the rules, so I asked.

If you know where it is, please copy and paste for me

Huh. It's not, you are very much right. I'm sure I read something about this. Hmmmm.

So what's the answer then?

What I have planned is that the 2nd season will be the top 8 clubs in the top league, the bottom 8 in the bottom league with promotion and relegation from then on.
