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!

Leagues shall be short with only one game against an opponent rather than home and away.
With 16 teams as well then it allows for a domestic cup to take place with last 16, quarters, semis and final.
So in total there will be 11 weeks per season, 7 league games and a max 4 cup

so how can you have the top8 and bottom 8?

surley 2 leagues randomly picked then top 4 from each league make up top league etc...

Sounds class Hero

The first season would be randomly picked.
Then for the 2nd season the top four teams from the two leagues will be placed in one league and the bottom four from each in the other.
From then on the bottom 3 from league A drop down, the top 3 from League B move up.

see you didnt say that lol

Sound okay?

Dire night of CL goals. There's been more goals in the SPL than everywhere else I think!

I love this from BBC Sport

2125: Over in Switzerland, Basel are making a late switch too. Xherdan Shaqiri is coming off and Jacques Zoua is on instead. I think that means the Swiss side would definitely take a 0-0 draw now.

2126: GOAL - FC Basel 1-0 Bayern Munich - Valentin Stocker

It was funny wasn't it?

1) Basle manager looks like Alex McLeish.
2) Can Basle do it?

If 17 is an awkward number I'll sit out seeing as Nick registered first, it's only fair.

I'm ok with being first reserve in case a manager drops out for whatever reason.

You wait all night for a CL goal...

Football is so frustrating sometimes.

Crawley Town;
14 corners, 20 Attempts on goal, 15 on target, 1 goal.

Morecambe;
2 corners, 7 Attempts on goal, 2 on target, 1 goal.

Seems that way

They just sold them all!

You can't mock me Hero, Macclesfield sold Tyrone Barnett to Crawley for £150k, and 7 months later we sold him on for £1.4M!

Still, we've got new strikers once they've fitted in, and we're still in a strong position, so i'm optimistic.

Hey Macc are on a 8 game losing streak at present, i can't mock anyone!

We've got 3 games coming up against other Top 6 teams, then Macclesfield away. Hope your form continues, we might need those 3 points!

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh Matty Matty! Matty Matty Matty Matty Matty Tubbs!

No bite

He plays on the left! He plays on the right! Tyrone Barnett! Makes Torres look bright!

I forgot you were from Crawley Marky.

See y'all tomorrow. I'll be on about 1ish.

Still no bite.

We sold Nic McDonnell to Bromley in 2003, you could try a song about him maybe?



Have a good one.

so we ready to reveal the squads

Probably not Bull.

We still don't know if it's Nick or Sodhat taking the last place, if Nick gets on tomorrow he has a deadline of 5pm to submit his squad.

but i dont want to wait !

Neither do I, but even when we do reveal we have this all over again as we rebid on more players, so no need to rush.

but i must bid on players on any one before they are taken i need a new star and 3 new defenders!

I need a whole flipping team!

I need to buy some new players and we ain't even got started yet!!

But it doesn't matter when you bid, the highest bid for each player wins, and just like the first lot of bids, everyone will have a few days to get them in.

It doesn't matter if I bid £3M on Tony Adams now or on Saturday, the bid will be the same, and if it's the highest bid then it will win, if it's not, it wont win.

mental note, 3M and a Caprice poster for Mr Adams

I just want my Star Players to be confirmed. If they were the only 2 I got, i'd be happy!

i need on more star player but dont have a clue who ill get or should get

I told you Bull The Doctor, Kenny Deuchar

PM for Bull.

ohhh how crawley could have done with a certain verwood born striker tonite.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh Matty Matty! Matty Matty Matty Matty Matty Tubbs!"



lets sing it together

We missed Tyrone Barnett...
