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."

If anybody has a TP that they are not going to use this week, and fancy a small profit, PM Olly for more details. Very Happy

Can someone do me a favour and see if Dido is on Twitter?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri Aug 17, 2012 11:42 pm

She is TSJ. @didoofficial

Major OMG!!!

It's a press managed page for her though rather than hers.

Ah boo!

I wish my work never went out. I always end up being the sick guy.

In new flat, only phone for internet access but almost fully unpacked now.

by TwisT Sat Aug 18, 2012 10:41 am

I am surprised no one else went for Torres.......

Extremely peed off with Ramirez's move to Saints. If only I had held onto him for a bit longer

by Trebs Sat Aug 18, 2012 11:28 am

Not sure it's going to be a good season for you twist, Giroud and Hazard are both going to flop I think.

Finally feel my side is getting somewhere and have a couple of foreigns lined up. Just need a right back and I'm done.

by nadeem2099 Sat Aug 18, 2012 12:22 pm

Sergio Ramos = Best centre back in the world!

Agree?

by Fernando Sat Aug 18, 2012 12:37 pm

I wouldn't even have him in my top 10

by Trebs Sat Aug 18, 2012 12:38 pm

Not THE best. But certainly world class and in the top five comfortably, probably rate Pique and Thiago Silva higher. Debatably Vidic but it depends how he starts the season.

by nadeem2099 Sat Aug 18, 2012 12:42 pm

I think Jose Mourinho has pulled a stroke of genius moving Ramos from right back to centre back. But imagine Ramos + Pique as your partnership at the centre of defence. That would be the best in the world. Who has Pique anyway?

by Bull Sat Aug 18, 2012 12:48 pm

Kompany + Pique >>>>> Ramos and Pique.

by Russell_Elmo Sat Aug 18, 2012 12:53 pm

Personally think Ramos is better as a RB

by nadeem2099 Sat Aug 18, 2012 12:59 pm

Can I ask everyones opinion on how you rate players.
For example what bull has posted above.
Would you rate a Kompany + Pique partnership higher than a Ramos + Pique one?
How much do you take into consideration if the players are same nationality or play in the same division that they will play better with each other than say for example Kompany and Pique who play in different leagues and there is a language barrier between them which will hinder communication. Whereas Ramos and Pique know each other well as they have played together irl and speak the same language. In cherries words, would you rate players on these leagues like on Fifa Ultimate Team where team chemistry is very important?

by The Special Juan Sat Aug 18, 2012 1:00 pm

I don't take any RL partnerships into account or anything like that.

by Trebs Sat Aug 18, 2012 1:09 pm

I rate players higher if they play for the same country/club. But it's mainly whether they have playing styles that would complement each other. For example, Vidic and Ferdinand has one quicker, more intelligent defender and someone who wins the ball and sticks his body on the line. If you had something like Vidic and Terry I wouldn't rate it anywhere near because the players are too similar.

by The Special Juan Sat Aug 18, 2012 1:23 pm

Ok. Ok. Ross County are better than Celtic if this result stays the same.

by Marky Sat Aug 18, 2012 3:39 pm

Portsmouth, who signed 10 players on short term deals on Thursday just to have a team for today v Bournemouth who have spend a vast sum of money to buy their way into the Championship.

Portsmouth 1-0 Bournemouth Laugh

Michu with two for Swansea on his PL debut.

Whoever put him in their Telegraph Fantasy PL side is pretty clever Whistle

Crawley one nil up, but I don't want to mock Norwich's absolute gubbing/hammering/bad cuddling at Fulham in case Crawley don't win!

by Fernando Sat Aug 18, 2012 4:23 pm

I bought him last season yet no one rated him despite being top scoring midfielder in spain Sad

by The Special Juan Sat Aug 18, 2012 4:23 pm

That Michu sounds like a great player.

by The Special Juan Sat Aug 18, 2012 4:24 pm

Oh poor Olly.

by Fernando Sat Aug 18, 2012 4:25 pm

Yeah it's 4-0 and i taunted him at half time.... Whistle

by The Special Juan Sat Aug 18, 2012 4:27 pm

I wish Arsenal would hurry up and score. I need them to win.

by Bull Sat Aug 18, 2012 4:31 pm

Swansea wining 4-0 , Norwich down 4 and West brom should of scored a 3rd

Gutted; I had a great accumulator running before they ruined it. Not as gutted as Twist will be though.

by Marky Sat Aug 18, 2012 5:27 pm

I wonder how Tooze enjoyed his day out in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham...

by The Special Juan Sat Aug 18, 2012 5:28 pm

And Olly. (I can taunt Olly as he is not a mod and therefore can't ban me)

by nadeem2099 Sat Aug 18, 2012 5:28 pm

Arsenal definitely need to buy a top striker if they want to challenge for the title. And no, Giroud does not count.

by Marky Sat Aug 18, 2012 5:38 pm

Olly probably didn't go, fairweather fan.

I'm assuming Nadz deals, if so, who gets the better deal?

Khedira + Boateng
=
Zabaleta + Sneijder + £12m

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Aug 18, 2012 5:45 pm

That was awful. Now stuck in traffic sweating my Love sacks off. Just dreadful. At least it can only get better Sad

by nadeem2099 Sat Aug 18, 2012 5:49 pm

Man do I feel messed up. I've had too much caffeine today. 2 cups of coffee, 1 can of red bull and 1 can of monster.

#HughtonOut

by nadeem2099 Sat Aug 18, 2012 5:59 pm

Did Inter Milan qualify for the champions league this upcoming season? I wonder how Sneijder will be rated if they haven't as less exposure etc...

by nadeem2099 Sat Aug 18, 2012 6:06 pm

I rate him highly but I already have Kagawa and Khedira is one of my favourite players so a good deal for both of us marky.

by Marky Sat Aug 18, 2012 6:15 pm

I've already got Hamsik but if he gets injured I've got no cover. And Khedira is a loss but my CM options remain with Schweinsteiger, Toulalan and Essien.

by The Special Juan Sat Aug 18, 2012 6:21 pm

Olly: Agger and Skrtel = 50p ENQ

Whistle

by Marky Sat Aug 18, 2012 6:50 pm

Olly's day. Sells Subotic for loadsa cash then Agger and Skrtel get destroyed by WBA, before going to see Norwich get battered 5-0 at Fulham...

by nadeem2099 Sat Aug 18, 2012 6:54 pm

Does anyone know why Sky don't show any live premier league football on a Saturday?
