The 606v2 Euro Division

First topic message reminder :

Domestic transfers are now available!


Welcome to the 606v2 Euro Division

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 £2m 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!

You could very easily be describing Roy Keane in his prime there.

And that's how I see De Jong, as a modern day version of Roy Keane.

very happy with my 1st team, think we should be able to compete

Any chance of the fixtures being at neutral venues?

Just that if being at home is seen as an advantage, i've got 2 home games and 5 away games...

think they are all neutral mate

Yes there's no home advantage in this with just one game v each person.

Very much, I dislike him but I know I'd love him wearing a Utd shirt.

what you make of starting XI so far then Mac, anywhere needing improved? maybe Forlan?

Yeah Forlan if people judge on this season, he's certainly off the boil.
Apart from that it looks a solid side though perhaps lacking a little wow factor.

What about mine...

think we will be hard to beat, got a player in mind to replace Forlan but not sure if he can play AM or just on the wings...waiting to hear from a fan of his club lol

De Gea
Abate---Hummels--Alex---Maxwell
Cambiasso
Lennon---Rodwell-----Nene
Gotze
Ba

would play Rodwell beside Cambiasso, very straight through the middle


apart from that looking good

---------- Stekelenburg----------
Émerson ----Lovren----Lugano---Danilo
---------Banega----Moutinho------------
Salvio----------Eriksen-----------Turan
---------------Hernandez--------


thoughts on mine now Fran?

that is much better BB, the way you set up had two AMs in the centre of midfield, people just see them and think they are too far forward thinking players to defend

Danilo a RB mate

cheers so swap

Emerson and Danlio round?

if that is the Benfica Emerson then yes he is a LB

ok and yeah he is


like that?

see when transfers start

can we offer part exchanges?

yes mate..much better, the way you had it was fine if you were losing with 10/15 to go and looking for goals

Fan, what do you think?

---------------Buffon---------------
-Srna----Albiol-----Ferdinand----Lahm-
--------Gonalons----Cleverley---------
--Reus-------Gourcuff-------Muniain--
-------------Giroud---------------

very good mate, Ferdinand at the latter stages of his career, I dont rate him that much now, prob your only weakness but not a huge one

would I be better having Lodeiro or De Bruyne in instead of Forlan?

Cuenca-Lodeiro-Mertens

Cuenca-De Bruyne-Mertens

Yeah I definitely need another CB as the one I went for yesterday didn't come off. If I can give Ferdi the right instructions for a couple of weeks then hopefully I'll be ok until someone new comes in.

Err I'd say Lodeiro maybe. I think de Bruyne is more suited to the wing, although he'd do if there was no alternative.

some will still rate him cos its him, but Vidic has made him look good for a while now - too many mistakes imo

I have £7.75m I have 3 or 4 options but gotta get it right

u know theres a problem with ur team when 3 of the 4 offers u get are for matt tubbs

never even heard of him

ive only had one offer on my page

I think it's the same as the Puyol/Pique situation. Pique makes Puyol look good. Ferdi isn't a leader anymore but he's the perfect back-up man.

You might have options but the difficult thing is picking the right one.

well am going through them lol there isone in particular tho, he plays RW/LW but dont know if he plays centrally, am trying to find out lol

Morning All

Disagree on the Pique/Puyol situation TSC, I think Carlos still has it in abundance

I suppose they have both been injured recently. I think they are both still reasonably formidable but they need someone quicker beside them.

Hero, did you know Ever Banega was out for 6 months when you sold him to Bull?

TSC wrote:Woohoo!

I have to go. It's quiz night at the (not so local). I might be on when I get back. Laters.

Champions

No I didn't, what's he done?

i thought barnett was bettet than tubbs

Diego Folran for sale

tubbs = forlan

Constable = Forlan?

ignored lol

Ever Banega.

Wikipedia wrote:On 19 February 2012, however, he prolonged an existing spell on the sidelines - he had recently returned from a knee injury - after he was run over by his own car. As a result, he fractured his left ankle and broke the tibia and fibula in his left leg, according to Valencia team doctor Enrique Gastaldi. He required ankle surgery, going on to miss the remainder of the season; the club only confirmed that the player had been hurt in an accident involving his own car after leaving training, however Spanish media had reported that the injury occurred when he failed to put the handbrake on at a petrol station and, after the car moved, his leg was caught between the wheel and the curb.

oh dear

Robbie Fowler?

I think Forlan is a good player but he's made a horrendous mistake in leaving Atletico for Inter. It's very hard for me to rate him at the moment. On one hand, he was the best player at the 2010 World Cup. On the other hand, he's not scoring.

we dont drive cars in SEC so things are fine he never got Injured

But Bull, it will affect his ratings on here if he's not playing.

thats why I have him as SS to crweate rather than score

it wont , im sure his fine and thats stupid if people rate a player when his injured? he should be rated when he was not injured

and i f you did now about this hero i want a refund or 3m

To be fair prolonged injuries to the likes of wilshire in the furious league never affected him

Banega isn't Wilshere.

his not because his better
