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!

Looks really good Nando

Perhaps CB as well. You have 3 older slower CBs there

I lost 5 players, how did I do well ???

Because I lost 12 Nick

Got Erikson! and Giggs + Hernandez!

Hero lost 12, I lost 11, Marky lost 11, Viva 10

5 looks pretty good to me. Seems to be the norm

When are we allowed to bid for the 2nd round?

Correction, I lost 11 and tied for 1.

I guess once Hero has sent him second round list to Sodhat.

Anyway, I'm off so catch you alls tomorrow

But I have Joe Hart, Phil Jagielka and Falcao, 3/4th's of my team's spine!

Yeah but I missed out on 3/4 CB's

I lost one...muhahahaha

better get scouting then

have 35m to spend on normal players and 26m to spend on a star

Im off, will finish my page tomorrow

I've scouted, just waiting on YI Man to get his bid in for Dede then i'll know what I need to do.

ive figured my round 2 picks already ill get outbidded for the lot but never mind

i just need a 26m star and mine are done too

I'm just totting up my remaining 140.1m budget

I had 66.7m left has been re-invested wisely i hope

no jokw why teh hell aint i got king

I bid on Ledley King too

i bid 8.8 million tho
sodhat can confirm it

Apologies if that was the case but I must have overlooked it.

No one else went for Buffon? Either everyone else overlooked him or I made a horrendous mistake.....

i went for a younger Keeper TSC

I don't think that many went for a Goalkeeper as a Star Player TSC.

I got Joe Hart, who is of course the best keeper in the world (or will be).

Buffon's a great signing
