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 now put forward my second draft of players if everyone now wishes to put forward theirs

i went for Stekenlenburg

mac you still got mibe mate?

Please resend it mate.

But Buffon wasn't a star player. He's actually £13m on transfermarkt or something. I love my sleazy keeper!!

Hero, who do we send 2nd drafts to?

Cherries did indeed put forward £8.8m for Ledley King.

Can just send them to me as I've already forwarded mine on.

PM'd the message to you Maccs

I have done my Round 2 bids, but I am waiting on my bid for Dede before I send it.

I made a slight mistake in the PM. My 2nd goalie is also new; I forgot to highlight him in blue. Apologies

sent mine Hero

hope we get to see who we got soon by that i mean today

At least I have 11 players confirmed, so I could get a team together;

team so far without one star man

quite happy

Not a chance, some people haven't been online yet since the squads were announced let alone get their 2nd lot of bids in.

I like the look of your side, Lamela is class and Falcao is plenty rated. Get a good DM in and you're looking really strong.

no one like my team? and yeah ill move Giggs to left

Here go to the main page and you'll find the thread just below this one.

Fan, I got the better Inter striker

which one? Pazzini?

Milito

Forlan ws a last min thing cos I missed out on De Jong lol he int my main striker still to get one lol

wait you know you missed out on de jong then went for forlan?

He's a good player. I don't know why he isn't succeeding in Italy though, I thought it would have suited him. Probably why Inter are struggling.

Milito scored 5 goals against me in the FFA. I expect him to score 5 for me in this league :P Is Viva in my league? I want some Milito revenge against him.

who needs Milito when you have the partnership of Berba and Hernanadez?

TheBrahmaBull wrote:wait you know you missed out on de jong then went for forlan?

no I wanted De Jong but couldnt afford him last player on my list

krasic neymar and matri, AND HESKEY AND TUBBS AND FLETCH!

Guidetti only about £4m well chuffed

Guidetti - 4m
Lodeiro - £3m
Cuenca - £4m

lol

Yes but players people might have heard of before would help too

You never heard of them?

I've heard of Lodeiro and Cuenca (bargain!!) but not Guidetti. I'm wary of Eredivisie players because they score bags of goals in the Netherlands but some of them don't make much of an impact elsewhere in the world when they move. Even Suarez hasn't made a massive impact at Liverpool (in terms of goals and assists).

Still. Going for a striker so he is my back up so will do missed out on soldado, cuenca was gonna be backup but think he will be 1st choice now

Can I do my re-rids for tied players tomorrow, or does it need to be tonight?

I got Milito, Muniain, Shaqiri and Reus. I am very happy with those 4.

Sent you a PM of my second round Hero

my re-bids will have to wait till tomorrow. Going out now.
Have a good evening

Fine to do it tomorrow mate

Milito is a bum boy not as good as I made him out to be lol.

I've got Football at 9, when do the next list need to be in? I don't know if Internet is fixed at work.

Ideally by close of play tomorrow if people can manage it.

An it takes me about 3 hours to get my list in.

I'll try do them later.

Nah Milito is class. Been a very consistent player over his career and is a big game player (CL final). Only thing against him is age.
