If £8 million for example was accepted by a club for a player why would a second club bid more? The money doesn't reach the player so it shouldn't make any difference

by Russell_Elmo Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:04 pm

Will the clubs location have an effect on transfers? Some players might prefer to move to London rather than somewhere else.

Trebs I can you do mine at some point mate?

Does anyone have an issue with me removing Jon Flanagan and adding Joe Cole to my squad? Forgot about his loan, I don't mind if people object

by GSC Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:30 pm

Thanks :-)

by Trebs Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:39 pm

Good shout Hero, will add him too

by **Hero** Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:43 pm

Hey what about those players you're taking out that may have tempted people Wink

by Trebs Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:47 pm

I took Flanagan and Spearing out, I had interest in both, and they're both now available in foreigns to anyone who wants them.

I had a shortage of midfielders anyway

by **Hero** Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:55 pm

They had more interest than I had in Bongani Khumalo then Laugh

by Trebs Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:59 pm

Might make a bid for him for lols.

Depends how realistic you want your league to be Realistic Premier League - Page 9 3559488474

1) Can go buy anyone if have money
2) Can buy anyone within reason
3) You can only buy players around your clubs level

by Trebs Thu Jun 28, 2012 8:12 pm

It's been sorted mate, just wondered about first come first served or highest bidder.

But, transfers will be pretty realistic on here

by Fernando Thu Jun 28, 2012 8:13 pm

my bad hadn't got this far yet Laugh

by Marky Thu Jun 28, 2012 8:17 pm

I think it should be best reason.

If Manchester United and Chelsea both bid on David Silva and paid the same price, it would come down to the best reason for the player.

United - dont have to move house
Chelsea - fellow Spanish internationals in Mata and Torres

by **Hero** Thu Jun 28, 2012 11:00 pm

What's going on with the Lukaku and Sturridge bids as they're down as confirmed on the confirmed page but also still being touted about?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu Jun 28, 2012 11:07 pm

They have been confirmed so they are gone from Chelsea surely. You can't sell a player and still try to get money for them

by GSC Thu Jun 28, 2012 11:07 pm

He's updated his own page with the transfers so surely its done.

by David James Number One Thu Jun 28, 2012 11:10 pm

No they are not defo sold yet. The deals were agreed before domestics was officially open. When I came on later both the deals had been confirmed, even though i didnt confirm it witth either manager that it was final. They will be sold just if the next person offers more money, They will win the player.

by Trebs Thu Jun 28, 2012 11:11 pm

Well then, you need to go onto those managers pages and tell them that

by David James Number One Thu Jun 28, 2012 11:22 pm

Will cofirm them both haha.

by Trebs Fri Jun 29, 2012 12:06 am

Seems a busy night on here tonight

by puntingred Fri Jun 29, 2012 12:13 am

Yeah.

Bit happier now I have exactly the cash I started withc £20M, and a better First XI to play with.

by David James Number One Fri Jun 29, 2012 12:16 am

Mereiles/Essien/Lamps/Mikel

these would all be available for cash

by Guest Fri Jun 29, 2012 3:44 pm

wtf i signed sturridge fair and square!

by Bull Fri Jun 29, 2012 3:46 pm

well then if they have not been sold then how come you have 25m?

by Trebs Fri Jun 29, 2012 3:48 pm

I think they've been settled as deals now

by Fernando Fri Jun 29, 2012 3:50 pm

well its on his page

bull are you ever gonna respond to the comment i left on your page last night?

and yes it appears to be confirmed so sturridge is mine.

by Trebs Sat Jun 30, 2012 4:03 pm

Anyone else looking forward to foreigns opening on Monday?

Got some big plans for my Liverpool side.

by Marky Sat Jun 30, 2012 4:04 pm

I was, but then I spent all my money Laugh

by Fernando Sat Jun 30, 2012 4:04 pm

is it 1st come 1st serve? i missed most the discussion Smile

by Trebs Sat Jun 30, 2012 4:07 pm

All the rules are explained on the foreign transfers page

by Trebs Sat Jun 30, 2012 5:06 pm

How does this sound for a slight tweak to the rules which i think would improve it?

If cup games are played midweek, league games at the weekend, have it so nobody who appears in the cup can play in the next league game, to make sure there's squad rotation and managers would have to decide if they want to do well in the cup or not? There would be no injuries for that gameweek.

by Marky Sat Jun 30, 2012 5:09 pm

Sounds good Trebs

by The_Enigma Sat Jun 30, 2012 5:13 pm

Might cause a few problems with teams who have 20/21/22 players in their squads though. Overall, I do like the idea but how about a cap on how many changes you have to make minium for cup games then onto league games?

by Trebs Sat Jun 30, 2012 5:16 pm

Well, the starting squad is 25, and there's loads of very cheap players you can sign in releases though, and foreigns are not yet open

If need be I could add 5m to everyone's budget before the cup game to give them something to buy some cheap players

by The_Enigma Sat Jun 30, 2012 5:19 pm

I'm just thinking of the lesser sqauds who might have to sell off their reservers in order to have a decent 18/19/20 man squad which can compete with every team. Maybe hand out a extra 2 Million to clubs before the cup starts, and as a extra motive offer cash to the winners of each game after every round.

by Trebs Sat Jun 30, 2012 5:24 pm

My plan was to offer prizes for the cup

And I was thinking every four gameweeks, a 5m bonus is added, which would keep transfers happening and is easier to add than adding bonuses every week.

If I did prizes for the cup, they would all be given at the end of the season, along with league prize money, giving the following season's budget

by puntingred Sat Jun 30, 2012 7:21 pm

Nice idea Trebs

Quick question, now we've started can we go over 25?

I'm back from work & newcastle are open for business Smile

by Trebs Sat Jun 30, 2012 7:29 pm

Yes, you can Punting, it's just the original squad that can't be over 25. New squad limit is 30.

by Gregers Sat Jun 30, 2012 8:16 pm

Trebs, how about only 3 players can play in both cup and league in the same week? Therefore it is still tactical on who you choose to play in both but allows you to keep a core together?

by Trebs Sun Jul 01, 2012 12:31 pm

Thing is, then you could just keep your three best players Greg, the idea is you'd have to drop your best players in the league/cup in order to do well in the other, I'm officially going to add it to the rules now, as other managers seem in favour. There will be a cash boost before the first cup game so that squads can be built up a little more if necessary

by David James Number One Sun Jul 01, 2012 1:51 pm

What can i do about foreigns as I wont be on at 9am.

by GSC Sun Jul 01, 2012 1:57 pm

Im guessing foreigns applies to every league bar the PL? What about players from unclaimed teams?

by Marky Sun Jul 01, 2012 2:18 pm

You can post your Foreign Transfer bid any time, it just means that if someone else goes for the same player they get the first chance to sign that player. You can post your bid at 3pm, just means you're risking someone else having the chance to sign him before you post.

Foreigns applies to any player not in the league. Regardless of their club. For example, I didn't add Salif Diao to my Stoke squad, therefore anyone could bid for him (not that anyone would).
