Hero wrote:Aguero last season played for a top 6 club in Spain, whilst his rep was good he'd hardly actually done anything, Hazard and Gotze meanwhile were league champion winners, Hazard twice player of the year (I should have that line saved to copy and paste), I do feel that a lot of the issue is one of perception from the premier league.
Oh and Nani < Hazard or Gotze

Again I would disagree with that as Aguero scored 20 league goals in 32 games the last previous season for A Madrid. Hazard has had only ONE great season and to compare him to Aguero is crazy IMO.

Nani has just as good a record for Utd but media highlight Rooney and Scholes and gets unnoticed IMO

For me Aguero>>Hazard and Goetze easily

Hazard was player of the season for the past 2 seasons, the previous one of which he was an integral part of Lille winning the title, the two seasons prior to that he won Young Player of the Year.
Where in that is it one good season?
He's consistantly been the best player in France for 4 years now!

Look at his record...

2011-12 - 20 goals and 15 assists
2010-11 - 7 goals and 10 assists
2009-10 - 5 goals and 8 assists
2008-09 - 4 goals and 1 assist

This past season he has really came of age but before that they are pretty average plus his Europe record is also poor.

He does look promising but can't compare to players like Aguero just yet

I love a good debate

Just assists and goals though don't show a full worth of a player, look at guys like Modric, his rate on both isn't high at all, yet he's regarded as one of the best playmakers going.
The reason his goal/assist rate has risen this past season is because he's playing higher up the field this season and has come into a more central role.

Good point but the difference is that he is performing every year and that is why he is regarded as top class.

Really looking forward to Hazard play actually.
I do hope he lives up to his potential.

So do I. No reason why he cannot. Mata had a great season for us last year. He did fade near the end but we played 61 matches and he featured in most so not too surprising.

Carroll to start today it seems. 0-0 anyone?

So you did, sorry mate.

Just Brahma to go...

But that was my point Kam, in France Hazard was regarded as the best player prior to his increased goal threat last season, he's just added that to his game to make him even better!

Looking forward to watching Chelsea play a different system altogether with more creative players.

England 2-0 Sweden
France 1 -1 Ukraine

I'm very impressed by the direction Chelsea are going and with the players that are coming in. Once they've got shut of the likes of Terry I might even begrudgingly like them a bit.

Steady on mate. You'll be donning a blue shirt next.

Not that far, I was still cheering on Bayern in the final!

I'm not someone that hates a team because it's considered what I should do. City and Chelsea I do begrudge the manner in which they gained their overnight wealth but if truth betold it happened with Utd I'd love it, and I've reached the age where I just enjoy the spectacle that is football so can admire players from City and Chelsea etc as just being fantastic footballers.

One of the few benefits of getting older.

I hear you both

We'll be having a group hug soon.

Anyone here a fan of Darts? Thinking of booking tickets to the World Championships this December, they go on general sale Monday and I'm torn as to whether I will need to take a day off from sixth form to secure tickets.

Adam (one of the other founders) went to it in Glasgow recently and got to interview a few of the guys backstage. Check out the journal site for the links!

was going to predict today.

i think its abit harsh to get a pen of 3m on my first warning.

Rules are rules are rules

Where have you been all day mate? I did say at the start it was £3 mil if you didn't predict. If you are busy, no worries, just let me know. No penalty then.

cheers will do it as soon as i can next time

Celtic offer £13 mil for Darren Fletcher

anyone want to beat this

Did they miss a decimal point?

was thinking that myself

Song, Navas, Mereiles and Rafinha available from Chelsea

Day off tomorrow to make sure I get some tickets to the PDC Darts Championship this year.

One I learned from yesterday's match was no matter how good your attack is, you always need a strong defence.
Holland's defence was shocking and De Jong was pretty useless too.

Fair play to Ronaldo to take them goals as he has been pretty poor himself during this tournament.

Will be trying to focus on my team's defence now

do i get Hazard back this week due to him being my injury for Week3?

I don't think so bull, aren't week 3 injuries out for 3 weeks so back week 4?

it was not like that in S1 the week was when they returned so if you had a w3 injury he would return on week 3

Then I stand corrected bull, which means fellaini is back

Think things are different this season guys. The injury page states that a week 3 injury means a player is out for 3 weeks, not returns in week 3. Otherwise, what was the point of week 1 injuries if they return in week 1?

I also see that there is a restriction of selling 2 injured players per set. It doesn't look like this is always being adhered to though since checking my next opponents I see that 3 of their injuries have gone now. What is the ruling here?

You're right Guv - the number mentioned is the weeks injured for so they'll return the week after. Eg. week 3 means they're injured for 3 weeks so available to play in week 4.

I agree about the transfer restriction - been forgetting to enforce that. Kam - can you police this and try to update the injuries page to show which players have been transferred?

Thanks bud.

Does this mean I get a default 3-0 win next up since my opponents have exceeded their limit of transferring out injured players this set?

Lol, no.

Yes Pull - I'll get on it

Morning all

Nice one

Can everyone ACCEPT/REJECT their offers by this evening.

Injuries are updated now.

2 teams have been very naughty - especially the Spanish one

Lol. The other one is Spurs. Pull breaking his own rules.

A default 3-0 for Arsenal as well then.

Honestly was unaware of that ruling else I wouldnt have done the first Mata/Ribery transfer.

What if rather than a 3-0 loss the offending teams either get another injury or one of the players traded in becomes injured as well?

Perhaps the simplest thing, if anyone is really bothered (I'm not really since this is only a bit of fun), is to say that managers can only field 2 of their transferred players where the transfer has got rid of an injury. So in Hero's case, he can pick 2 of Mata, Nani and Messi.

Or perhaps the opposition manager should choose.


Cabaye or Lampard central midfield ?

I've been really impressed with Cabaye at the EC.

so i get Hazard back then eh?

and my budget should be 17m as i was let off.

Don't think so Brahma. Week 3 injuries shouldn't return until week 4.

The injury page needs updating again I think to say that Week 1 injuries return in week 2, week injuries return in week 3 etc.
