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

Hey, I have been away. Season Two will get stricter.

Anyone think a squad reset may perk up a bit of interest?

Any thoughts on rebooting the league to bring fresh life into it?

Keep the CL/Europa/Relegation, so if teams get into those places then they stay in that, but squads get reset etc. Think it'd work well as we'd have current squads including the summer transfers. We have learned a lot, made some mistakes but can learn from them?

Are loans allowed in the league? If not I think they should come in.

I agree on the squad resetting with summer transfers.

I also think we need to look at how foreigns are done tbh

Yeah I think changing some bits and pieces could help. Loans haven't officially been in, but are allowed domestically but not in foreigns. Foreign loans would be a very bad idea IMO.

I thought domestic ones werent allowed lol.

Foreign loans would be messy indeed

I'd disagree on the reset, think it'd make Chelsea far too powerful compared to the others.

Maybe the ability to keep your players based on a set value that comes out your budget.

I.e I could retain Adebayor for an agreed fee that comes out my budget

Actually back to my point, Utd as well value wise have gone up with the signings of RVP and Kagawa. I know this league follows TM less than my league but the values of the clubs on there are:

City 440m
Utd 390m
Chelsea 340m
Arsenal 250m
Spurs 230m
Liverpool 210m
Newcastle 140m
Everton 110m
And so on down to poor little Reading at 32.5m

Theres realism sure, but it's showing that with a gulf in class between clubs that disinterest sets in.

My suggestion would be to have instead a similar set up to the old Furious League and have a collection of teams from across Europe that are within a close reach of one another value wise so that everyone feels from the off their destiny is in their own hands.

I'm not allowing Reading's tactics this week as they missed the deadline.

That means we have 3 default wins for teams this week. We need to get a recruitment drive going.

Also if somebody could help me out with some match reports that would be great as might have to go out at 8 so need to get them done asap after 7

Posted something on Pull's league to try and get more people as that seems to be dying

He missed the deadline but on the rules he'd be deducted a goal from the final result rather than an auto loss.

It does say that in the rules, but I said on the homepage a missed deadline is a auto loss. So it is an auto loss

I'd amend the rules though to cover it in case of a complaint.

Agree United have strengthened, but are weakened by having Brahma in charge. I think it's better that it's staggered teams with some better than others as people have different targets. For me, to finish 12th would be fantastic while for you would be a disaster. It means that everyone is on different levels which I prefer.

I think Man City have to be excluded, possibly United and Chelsea. With Arsenal and Spurs being the best, do a random draw to decide teams, if managers want to change. All managers that want to keep their teams should. Promote QPR, Sunderland and Wigan to the league.

Want me to do injuries/foreign offers tonight Olly?

If you could Trebs. Are you around to write a report or two?

Only 5 games this week, so if you could take 2, I will do 3 and we can have them up sharpish

Alright, I'll do 2 reports and foreign offers if you want? I'll predict after Reading vs Fulham, and you can do injuries as you have the managers who have/haven't predicted?

Yep sure thing

Can someone make me foreign offers please then I'll post them all?

Trebs do you think it would be possible for you to do all the reports?

I'm really sorry but something has just come up and I have to head out until like 9:30 so i wouldnt be able to do them till then. There is only 4 matches to do.

Will do your foreigns now

Alright send me the scores and votes for each result, I'll do reports.

Thank you so much mate

Sent mate.

Your offers

Rob Green - £3 million
James Tomkins - £4.5 million

Bl00dy hell, just realise I've not voted.
Too late?

Yes Hero it is, sorry but all the scores have been settled

No worries, planned to do it this morning and then got dragged out by my wife to look at new cars.

Will do injuries when back from school

GSC can you please update the league table when you have time.
Trebs could you also update the results page plz.

Will stick up the tactics page now, and do injuries later

Half day school or lunchbreak?

Currently have a free period Hero. But have to go back in soon so only on for a little bit.

Tomorrow I finish at 1

I will do it tonight Olly

Trebs have you done them?

Went and got drunk instead. Will be done soon.

Thoughts on foreigns?

Gilardino
Rakitic
Buttner

Want to give em answers by 6 ish tomorrow

Buttner - If Man United don't have him, then yes but MUST be first choice.
Rakitic - Yes
Gilardinho - Needs more. He signed for Genoa for €8m (£6.8m). The Bologna fee was undisclosed though but that transfer didn't happen in this league, I'd say around 6m as they'd want to recoup their investment.

Remy - Yes.

Results page updated.

Cheers Trebs.

I wont be on my laptop till after CL footie tonight to do injuries. Sorry

No worries, I'm busy myself building IKEA stuff for my room.

Buttner - If Man United don't have him, then yes but MUST be first choice.
Rakitic - Yes
Gilardinho - Needs more. He signed for Genoa for €8m (£6.8m). The Bologna fee was undisclosed though but that transfer didn't happen in this league, I'd say around 6m as they'd want to recoup their investment.

Agree with that and Remy.

Sorry Trebs but I really dont think Varane would move to West Ham mate

Varane playing for RM in the CL

Yeah so are we all agreed on them?

I knew Varane was playing so thought I'd be cheeky.

What is Enigma on about?

Enigma's done an emergency loan between Southampton and Villa because I injured both his keepers. Hero posted on his page saying he wasn't allowed.

And is it allowed? If not why not?

I've never posted anything against it and don't see it as an issue.

Also, you heard anything from Zebra as Enigma's still doing two teams. We'll have all the teams filled then?

I haven't heard a thing from Zebra. Will PM him now.

So it is fine then? I have never seen it as an issue tbh

I think it's fine

I mentionedit regarding the loan thing as often it is banned for one game in most leagues as clubs abuse to bypass injuries as is being done in this case.
Now you open the floodgates to other teams just swapping their injuries each week.

That's extreme circumstances though. I think the only situation it's allowed IRL is if a team has no goalkeepers.
