Important End of Season information -- please read

STAR PLAYER BIDS ARE OPEN

Star Player bids will commence Wednesday (15th), and run to Friday (17th) at midnight, when bidding is closed. Who got who will be posted on Saturday all being well - and assuming it can't be done earlier. If you miss out initially, there will be a second round bidding process and you may make another bid on a player. All bids will be sealed and PM'd to Hero and sodhat. It should be made clear that you cannot make a big bid on a Star Player, and then not have the cash all at once. All money must be paid immediately, or you miss out. We aren't doing IOU's on it, and that applies to everyone.

To qualify for the second round you must have submitted a first round bid - you can't just wait and see what's left. If there are exceptional circumstances as to why you missed the deadline you may appeal to the runners, but these circumstances absolutely do not include "I was playing Ultimate Team for 4 days with the curtains closed."

I'll argue 2010/2011 Spurs too after seeing what they did to the Milan clubs.

My team can't be improved

Your league position last season suggests otherwise

My team now can't be improved. I improved it, whilst getting spanked week in week out

Seriously who should I go for. I genuinely can't think of who to go for.

Anyone from (in TM value order);

Falcao, Gerard Pique, Juan Mata, Nani, Dani Alves, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Iker Casillas, Fernando Torres, David Villa, Vincent Kompany, Sergio Busquets, Daniele De Rossi, Sergio Ramos, Mario Balotelli, Kaka, Manuel Neuer, Javier Mascherano or Ezequiel Lavezzi

Well you don't need another striker. Maybe an ACM?

Actually can I change my bid?

Oooh now you're asking...

What do you guys reckon? Should probably be a consesus on it.

by Marky Wed 15 Aug 2012, 11:40 am

No. Bids aren't made accidentally, you sent two PM's with your bid. It's final IMO.

Whats the star player bid limit and how does it work?

by Marky Wed 15 Aug 2012, 12:07 pm

Nadeem, you can bid on anyone not currently in the league up to the TM value of £35m. You can bid anything over for that player, up to you. Sealed bids by PM to Sodhat and Hero, get them in ASAP!

by sodhat Wed 15 Aug 2012, 12:07 pm

nadeem2099 wrote:Whats the star player bid limit and how does it work?

You can make an unlimited bid (of money that you have - there are no I.O.U's) on a player up to £35m in value on Transfermarkt. PM it to me and Hero and we will let you know if you get the player, based on highest bidder alone.

If you don't, you get a second chance to bid on a new player with the same rules. Except largely you'll be uncontested in bidding and you'll know who is available. But you must enter a bid in round 1 to get a second round bid too.

by FIFA Diva Wed 15 Aug 2012, 12:11 pm

Can I ask why nadeem has got 5 lawyers? He didn't put the three of his choice up on the page that was asked by everyone.

by sodhat Wed 15 Aug 2012, 12:13 pm

Everyone gets 5 lawyers, but he foregoes having the luxury of choosing who they were on.

by FIFA Diva Wed 15 Aug 2012, 12:14 pm

sodhat wrote:Everyone gets 5 lawyers, but he foregoes having the luxury of choosing who they were on.

Didn't happen to me last season when I missed out, I only got the two.

by sodhat Wed 15 Aug 2012, 12:17 pm

Are you sure? It would have been an oversight then, but the rule was always supposed to be 5 in the 'summer' whether random or selected.

100% I begged and pleased but everyone said it's the rules I remember Olly telling me to get over it.

Ok, well we have a couple of options...you can have 3 more lawyers now, we can take Nadeems away considering the precedent appears to have been set, or we can just say sorry and forget it.

Don't recall why you weren't given 5, because the rule was that everyone gets 5, but you can choose 3 of them. It says it on the page from last season too.

No you can't.

by FIFA Diva Wed 15 Aug 2012, 12:29 pm

I haven't had a moan in ages thats why Laugh

I don't want extra lawyers or Nadeem stripped of his.

by nadeem2099 Wed 15 Aug 2012, 12:31 pm

Is there a page where all the players that have been bought from foreigns are listed? I can't be asked going through every team to see if they already have the player.

by sodhat Wed 15 Aug 2012, 12:32 pm

Well the options are there because it's only fair if you missed out mate. It's a reasonable moan you're having.

You can go to the TP thread and try a ctrl+F and then search the player you're looking for. It should show you if they are in there, and all TP's have gone through that page.

Marky, are we still doing U21's/23's for the cup next year?

by nadeem2099 Wed 15 Aug 2012, 12:41 pm

I would do that if I wasn't on my mobile atm. I'll just ask here is Juan Mata available from foreigns?

by Marky Wed 15 Aug 2012, 12:43 pm

sodhat wrote:Marky, are we still doing U21's/23's for the cup next year?

Yeah, U21's. You need to have 3 U21's in your side to participate in the Cup. Aged 21 or under by Week 1 of Season 3.

by Marky Wed 15 Aug 2012, 12:44 pm

nadeem2099 wrote:I would do that if I wasn't on my mobile atm. I'll just ask here is Juan Mata available from foreigns?

This is the list of players available to bid on;

Anyone from (in TM value order);

Falcao, Gerard Pique, Juan Mata, Nani, Dani Alves, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Iker Casillas, Fernando Torres, David Villa, Vincent Kompany, Sergio Busquets, Daniele De Rossi, Sergio Ramos, Mario Balotelli, Kaka, Manuel Neuer, Javier Mascherano or Ezequiel Lavezzi

He is available as a star player, yes.

by The Special Juan Wed 15 Aug 2012, 12:45 pm

Or you can bid on anyone else that isn't in the league (and hasn't been lawyered recently) but that might be a waste of a bid.

by Marky Wed 15 Aug 2012, 12:49 pm

For those unsure, all you need to PM is something along the lines of;

Football Club bids £Xm for Player

Here we go, League Cup draw time!

by Marky Wed 15 Aug 2012, 12:56 pm

Crawley Town v Bolton Wanderers

Imminently winnable

by Gregers Wed 15 Aug 2012, 12:58 pm

Under 21's - Verratti, Schurrle, Moses, Deulofeu, Muniesa

Think thats pretty good for the cup right there.

by nadeem2099 Wed 15 Aug 2012, 12:59 pm

I've sent my bids to sod and hero. When do I find out if I've got the player and can put him in my squad?

by Marky Wed 15 Aug 2012, 12:59 pm

My U21's are AC Milan's Gabriel in goal, Dortmund's Lasse Sobiech at CB and the man they call The Ox.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 15 Aug 2012, 12:59 pm

At home to Scunthorpe in the cup. Brilliant.

by Marky Wed 15 Aug 2012, 1:00 pm

nadeem2099 wrote:I've sent my bids to sod and hero. When do I find out if I've got the player and can put him in my squad?

Friday/when everyone's bid, whichever is sooner.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 15 Aug 2012, 1:03 pm

My U21's are Alaba, Caulker, Powell, and Svender I believe.

by Gregers Wed 15 Aug 2012, 1:03 pm

Presumably there will be injuries on cup week Marky? Or are the under 21's going to be ineligible for injury that week?

by The Special Juan Wed 15 Aug 2012, 1:06 pm

Is it U21 or U23?

by Marky Wed 15 Aug 2012, 1:27 pm

by The Special Juan Wed 15 Aug 2012, 1:28 pm

What's the cut-off date?

by Marky Wed 15 Aug 2012, 1:32 pm

21 or under at the start of Week 1, Season 3.

by The Special Juan Wed 15 Aug 2012, 1:34 pm

Perfect, thanks

by Marky Wed 15 Aug 2012, 1:43 pm

And haven't decided on injuries yet. While i'm at it, I haven't finalised the format yet.

If the fixture calendar can spare 5 Cup Weeks, we can do;

4 groups of 4. First 3 Cup Weeks are the 3 group games. Cup Week 4: Semi Finals, Cup Week 5: Final.

Gives everyone at least 3 cup games, and prize money for semi finalists, finalist and winner.

by sodhat Wed 15 Aug 2012, 1:46 pm

I like that idea

I think you should be the man doing injuries in each cup week too

by Marky Wed 15 Aug 2012, 1:48 pm

What about the idea of seeded groups?

As in each group has 2 from the Premier League and 2 from the Championship?

by sodhat Wed 15 Aug 2012, 2:02 pm

Yeah, seems a sensible thing to do to keep it fair
