First topic message reminder :

Please can anyone who is in the realistic league and can see this please post below!!

Want me to post the foreigns

Trebs I am assuming you want me to do reports/results from now on in lol

Please. If I can do them, I will but I definitely won't this weekend or next.

That's fine mate

Luiz + Higuain + Ramires + Johnson
=
Jan + Defoe + Fellaini + Bale

What does everyone think?

Luiz > Jan
Higuain > Defoe
Ramires = Fellaini
Johnson < Bale

Agree with Nando's view.

Problem with it is that it knock the balance out of my team.
How would this look:

Walker---Luiz---Kaboul---Baines
Dzagoev---Modric---Ramires---Hazard
------------Higuain---Damaio--------

Better than what I current have?

I wouldn't say it's any better prbs worse tbh

You got Damiao just in time if had tried it today you would of got majorally rejected , Club owner put 47m price tag on him

I think you'll miss Fellaini, you'll need another physical CM to replace him.

And Higuain and Damiao don't need to play together, but use 1 when the other is injured and play 4-3-3/4-2-3-1.

I wouldn't say either is massively better than the other, though 4-3-3 seems to suit the players you have more. Also while you'd score a lot in the 4-4-2, you'd concede quite a few with no holding player and Luiz having the football IQ of a plank of wood.

Doesn't Hazard have to play at AM?

And that :P

I have Tiote for the physical midfielder if needed.

The 4-3-3 suits your team better with talent in the middle imo. Try and take Higuain out the deal?

Does that apply if there is no AM position?

Yes

We could relax the AM requirement, he'd want to play there but would also accept sometimes hed be out of position for the team. Maybe he has to play 8 games at AM or something.

Given Juande_Ramos isn't doing transfers apparently, Alou Diarra is a clear yes for me.

If Diarra is a no now I might kill someone.

Be a bit hypocritical of me after I told you about it :P

Diarra is a yes for me too

Is there a punishment for handing in tactics late? Cherries seems to have fallen foul...

I've never been in this situation before. It's up to you. Seems a bit harsh for 18 minutes though to penalise him, maybe a warning or something?

I was just thinking an extra injury or two maybe, but tbh he werent that late

He said on the other league he was well busy this week, I don't think you have to do anything if I'm honest.

He was at a party

I'll leave it then, poor lad was excited

Last week the newcastles managers tactics came sat morn and I let him off since I had no predos anyway

Sessegnon is a no because of the swap factor. Would probs take 15-17m to make Sunderland sell too.

Don't know much about San Jose, but 4m is his TM value and he was in the Spainish Olympic Squad so maybe higher?

Nando with the stone cold steal of the century

I doubt it after Hero's lovely attempted PM to Elmo

And i Quote: From Hero To Fernando, Today at 4:55 pm
Hi mate, just to have a word before you deal, that deal involving Dempsey is really not in your favour at all, even if Nando was giving you the 6.5m you'd be losing especially not the other way round. Back out of it ASAP.
Oh and don't mention I said anything.

Lmao Hero. Cheeky

Being honest I also advised him to back out (albeit after he text me asking my thoughts on it)

It was a silly offer and no wonder you dealt Nando, others in your situation would have tried to confirm it anyway!

Yeah that happens with me in Euro Div quite a lot as well, it's no big deal

Well then since we're allowed to advise people when their being screwed over i shall be doing that

What do you guys think about bringing in a cash incentive for predictions?

I think we should, to get the numbers up

Nando, you weren't screwing him over, he offered it to you! Russell asked my thoughts on it, but it was a few hours after Hero's failed PM, and I gave my opinion.

The fact that he immediately was thinking about it is sign enough that he's smart enough to figure that himself Marky without others getting involved but if that's seemingly ok then i shall be doing that myself to help others

I make you right Nando.

But I was asked my thoughts on it, no-one should stick their nose in a potential deal unless they're hijacking it.

Rather than a financial incentive, take 500k from the 5m 4 week bonus every time predos missed

I'd rather offer an incentive than take away from people. Some people just can't do them, so you can't punish them for that

It accomplishes the same thing

There is home and away advantage isn't there? I have always thought there was...

Also I might not be around for foreigns tonight, as I might go see a movie

Trebs told me not to count it this season in week 1.

I was always under the impression it did count

I think there shouldn't be with teams only playing each other the once.

Well we'll have to see what Trebs says. Definately should bring it in for season 2, maybe have to do home/away fixtures to make sure?

Just as it stands it's looking that Nando v me will be the crunch game, not even checked yet to see if it's home or away on it but either way would be unfair to decide the title rather than tactics or players.

I don't think it makes that much of a difference tbh. I mean Fulham were more than a match for Chelsea this week anyways imo
