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!

Sir Walter rejected it? Wow. Is anyone else thinking "Ricky Sbragia for Wolves"?

Steve Bull I reckon for it.

Spirit of Lisandro Lopez

Can't believe Frazier Campbell is in the England Squad

If you're buiilding for the future then at least (Pearce?) is gving other players a chance. No room for Rio, Lamps, Terry. I thought Phil Jones was injured though?

Walter Smith rejects the vacant Wolves job Laugh

Uh Hu, im hearing there still some talks, think hes going to be offered it fgor 13 matches (rest of season)

Nick you sent your squad yet?

Nick you sent your squad yet?

No, my boss is sitting right behind me, albeit facing awa but still too risky, especially after 2 days off. its pretty much done tho, just gotto filter out the cack and pick the final squad n bids.

lmfao I'm listening to the radio and the guy is asking "What's the most ridiculous but real excuse you've ever had to use?"

One person has said that they were sitting on the toilet when the ceiling collapsed on them

Bull, i'm sure Nick will get a lunch break to submit his squad in

I used to have to write out old 606 stuff in my Work emails!

Get me thats the way but when your checking transfermarket for prices its a bit harder

Agree transfermarkt should have a pic free version!

Hero, Istarted my team name as FC Ch then forgot it so will do that later

C'mon Hero, hurry up and process it.

I'd be interested to see the stats for the most picked player. From what I've seen I've a good idea who it is, almost everyone wanted him!

Hush your mouth Nandophile!! (that means you prey on Nandos Chicken, you stand at the counter while there cooking it, staring and licking your lips at it, awaiting the succulent full chicken xtra hot).

Hero, im in a rush now, gimmie all my players NOW !!

Ive gone cheap and purchased Wolvers players worth 800K etc. saving my monies init badmanz

Before Nick's list, one player was picked 6 times, which was the most

I've a good idea who it is, almost everyone wanted him!

Was it Demba Ba ???

As Nick's list is in, can I guess it was Christian Eriksen?

Christian Eriksen

Nahhhhh it was Demba "Sizrup" Ba !!!
Or maybe Gaitan as everyone bummed him hardcore in the FL.

I can bet my hat that Fan bid for Yann M'Vila and/or Arturo Vidal. But both would take up star player slots so I reckon he went for at least one of them. Thats why I refrained from it, bidding wars and ting get me fam

Eriksen was a perennial selection, but not the one I was thinking of

You might as well spill Sodhat, seeing as everyone has sent their PM's

In all the irony ive never actually been to a Nando's

Ive done the same bought decent players then bought some dirt cheap back ups

The results are having a final check over and will then be revealed...

When they have been done please add the players you have got to your team sheet with the price you paid for them and a total figure so we can keep track of how much you have left etc.

Failure to do so correctly will result in players being removed for auction.

Hero, im League B yes???

It was neither Eriksen nor Ba.

As Nick's is in I can announce that it was....

Can't quite remember, it was either Puyol or Carvalho

Carles Puyol was the one I saw almost all teams go for, much sought after!

Yes Nick

i went for him as well but wanted to get them cheaply

Puyol has been saved by Pique so many times, on his own I think he's vulnerable AKA "would fancy a move to Italy"

7 players on Nick's list which means managers lose out at the last hurdle

Really?

Really?

Yes.

Affecting nine eight* managers as some were tied

* 1 manager lost two players

? did i lose a player cause of him?

, crap I went for him.
7 players, Ohhhh frick!! Bet I didnt outbid anyone
