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!

Morning Guys

Im back!

Hero, any room?

PM your initial squad selection asap Nick.

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.

BTW - is your missus okay?

You have 45 Mins to post your team, we are impatient

P.S Hope all is well mate

You actually have until Sunday according to Hero's initial deadline, but the other managers are getting restless

Nick

As soon as you PM your squad or at 5pm today, whichever comes first, everyone finds out their squad. So a lot of people are impatient

Afro, shes kinda as expected. quick story short,
Green light, guy trys to jump a red, smacks into her driverside front wing and totals the car. She had to be cut out by fire service, took 50 mins. Dislocated knee and pain in her neck - bottom of her head to top of spine. No fractures so she was discharged same day. So shes quite lucky not to be worse. Shes shook up tho, swelling has gone down on her knee but its badley bruised still.

Nay, gimmie 1 hour plz. Ive got emails at work to blast thru.

57 Mins Is best i can do :p

Ahh Nay Bother Nay, ima go on Hero's time

When you live in Scotland you should expect to be behind the rest of the world when it comes to technology.

Are the leagues going to have better names than A & B?
1 & 2 perhaps?

Viva - you need to set-up a Team Page in League A.

Ideas on a post(card) please!

League A will be run by Hero and Twist, whilst League B by me and TSC

Yes please put forward name suggestions for the leagues!

Might be a spot prize for the best ones!

(Disclaimer: No spot prize will be given, just the pride of having your choice as the league name!)

Hahaha

Which League do I put a team page in?

Nick - you are in League B

The TSC and Afro Sponsored Premier League

The Macclads and Twist Sponsored Premier League

Better than League A and B surely!

I dont know what name to pick.

I dont know what name to pick.

Your not good with picking names, who remember Vivas original Furious Association League name? haha

It questioned the sexuality of his entire league if I remember

I didn't see it until recently when I was reading tactics for his league, and the original post still contained the name. I can see why perhaps it was best to change...

I'm sure that's the jealousy talking.

nick! do your team and lets see who we got!

Bull, im doing it but I think when the phone goes at work thats more important....seeing as it pays me and the whole reason im on here is while I work it would defet the object to ignore the phone and get sacked....just my opinion

sorry mate just eager to get my team done

fair enough

oh proud to say i have a 3 united players on my team

Unless Nick comes in and blows your bids out of the water...

and teh cherrytatsic cup

sodhat wrote:Unless Nick comes in and blows your bids out of the water...

I'm concerned, I have a gut feeling i'll lose a few players to Nick. Which as he's the last squad to be submitted, would be bloody typical!

Unless Nick comes in and blows your bids out of the water...

OOOSH which I may just do as I have some Man United players too

poo, I have a bad feeling me and Bull have the same United players

we better not Nick !

nick_fury wrote:poo, I have a bad feeling me and Bull have the same United players

You best overbid then

England squad announced, a few surprises upfront, Fraser Campbell and Daniel Sturridge actually in!

no nick go for different United players!

Im taking big risk by bidding low on some players in the hope others havent picked.

anyone want to contribute to the AFC Bournmeouth thread?

when do we get our squad?

TheBrahmaBull wrote:no nick go for different United players!

He can't know what ones you've picked though, Bull.

Once Nick's team is in then I'll be able to check through them a final time and announce who got what in the first draft.

And then people can register for the 2nd batch.

Everyone's in the same boat, the players everyone currently has, only Nick can stop us from getting them!

The tension is becoming annoying (I wont say unbearable, but if it goes on longer it might!)

He can't know what ones you've picked though, Bull.

Oh but I do muhahahaha

Dont worry Marky, I ave very different targets. But I have a bad feeling someone has my Man United target(s).

You know its aminimum 15 players + min 1 star players. That equals 16 players total but you need 11 + 7 subs for a match day squad.

Out of curiousity has every bidded big and gone for low squads?

I went for 21 + 2 star players (squad limit is 23 after all) and I currently have 11.

Morning! Yes. 3 seconds to spare before 12!
