Realistic Premier League II

£5m is added every four weeks, and you have the lawyers offers. No prediction or win bonuses

So the £5M is added after the next game yeah Trebs?

Sweet, got £6.8M to blow on a CM

No, you can add it when I put results up

As there's no games at Old Trafford on Saturday, I'll be doing results then this week so predictions will have to come in quicker this week

No problemo

Not sure what formation to play with Cisse injured vs. Arsenal, was originally going to play two up front (ala Newcastle v. Chelsea IRL)

Could play Ba & Ameobi upfront?

i need a seriously cheap reliable striker.

Andy Carroll is reliable to put in a similar performance week in, week out?

One where the fan in Row Z has his teeth knocked out?

Kevin Nolan is avaliable for £8m.

I'd let Nathan Delfouneso leave is the offer was right... same goes for Saha, both are reliable

Don't think so Trebs, got a plan now anyway.

I am prepared to sell Ba for a very decent amount of cash, no p/ex.

Has to be a decent sum, as I'll be looking to buy a DM & replacement ST with
The money

Reminder that tactics are due in for midnight

I'm away over Sunday and Monday, so Olly has agreed to sort out the results for me this weekend. Please PM all of your predictions to him.

Got your PM Trebs. Sorry my internet cut out last night!

I want predos in to me by 6pm on Sunday, Now I can't guarantee what time results are up, because I can't guarantee whether I will be out or not, as I am with my dad. But they will be up Sunday evening, by hook or by crook

Tactics are up. Good luck to Marky in our match

That should be match of the week IMO

Trust Olly to drop Holt when I plan for a front two. Ah well, Still got everything else ok, and enough defenders to cope with Norwich imo.

I had no clue what you were gonna go for lol. I think its gonna be a tight game, I have for once gone for 'beautiful football'. I have been converted from my anti football days.

And dropping Holty was a tough choice, but the style suited Rhodes more than Holt

Can someone just run through what I need to do tactics-wise?

and how do we make predictions?

Of course it is, when the two best managers in the league meet

Telling Norwich to play beautiful football is like telling Barcelona to lump it up.

Here ya go Pull,

Each week you should write a set of tactics, giving a gameplan. These tactics can only go up to 150 words, which is long enough to get a point across without being excessively long. Tactics should not exceed this amount, and not giving tactics will hamper your chances of winning the game. Once tactics are posted, they must not be edited. A well set up team can win with the right tactics against a better team on paper.

The tactics deadline is midnight on Friday, if they are handed in late, but before midnight on Saturday, then a goal will be deducted from the final result. If they are still not handed then the opposing team will be handed a 2-0 automatic win.

Please post all tactics within spoiler tags and have the game announced at the top of them, to make it easier to scroll through and predict.

In regards to predictions, PM them to Olly.

Bit rich coming from the Stoke manager

OK thanks mate. Will do this afternoon.

Usually predictions are PM'd to me, but this week I'm working so Olly is doing them for me

Make sure you put a reason behind your predictions

Tactics still required from the following by midnight
Arsenal
Chelsea
Everton
Southampton
Swansea

When do we put our predictions in then and what happens if tactics aren't posted?

Tactics up, bit different this week to combat Chelsea

You send a PM to Olly with your predictions, just give a scoreline and reasons why.

And if tactics aren't posted, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it, so far we've received them all from all teams.

I posted mine

Apologies, only cherries and pull left then

I'm just doing mine now btw, though it seems you think I've done them lol

You're expected to win either way now though

just southampton left?

Indeed, as soon as Southampton post their tactics predictions will be open, and close sometime on Sunday, whenever Olly says so as he's doing results for me

Also, the FA Cup will start this week. Graeme will be in charge of this but it will take place on the Wednesday/Thursday. No player who plays in the FA Cup game will be able to play in the following league game, so you have to prioritize your squad. More details will follow from the cup runner himself

A £5m bonus will be given to all teams after the results of gameweek four announced. If you have a squad which is a bit thin then I suggest you use it to buy a few cheap players in.

Good luck pull mate

FA cup just favours the big boys really!

"No player who plays in the FA Cup game will be able to play in the following league game"

Can they be on the bench in one and start in the next if they aren't subbed on?

Lets say yes

Yes Gregers

Ent, the idea is that smaller teams could play a strong line up if they want, big teams won't be as bothered about the FA Cup is the assumption as they'll want to do well in the league. It's striking the right balance.

It was more as I don't think that anyone could have 18 players in the cup game and then a different 18 in the league.

Like I said earlier.

DEADLINE FOR PREDOS IS 6PM ON SUNDAY

Well I did mine, no need for anyone elses.

As i've been awake all night with my son i've done this week's Foreign Offers a little early, just need Trebs or Olly to PM me my bids

Done them Marky, I'm up at a stupid time as well

Be on after work, so around 9ish.

Remember predos to me by 6pm tonight please
