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."

It's just such a bad day.

1) Agger gives away a penalty
2) Agger gets sent off
3) Skrtel gives away a penalty
4) Skrtel ends up conceding 3 goals

by The Special Juan Sat 18 Aug 2012, 6:55 pm

I think they only show midday/lunchtime games. ESPN get the evening games.

by Marky Sat 18 Aug 2012, 7:15 pm

If you mean Saturday at 3pm, its because it would kill football.

If the average fan could watch Man U or Chelsea or Liverpool at home, they won't go to watch their local lower league side, and attendances drop which = clubs getting less money which = clubs going bust.

by The Special Juan Sat 18 Aug 2012, 7:35 pm

Dafuq with Brendan Rodgers accent? He sounds like a Scottish Geordie... or a Geordie Scotsman.

by The Special Juan Sat 18 Aug 2012, 7:38 pm

Ah Nathan Dyer is the latest player to be "Glen Johnsoned" (shaves off dreadlocks for a suede head).

by The Special Juan Sat 18 Aug 2012, 8:35 pm

Anyone watching Sevilla v Colonel Getafe? Good game; Navas has been excellent. Negredo less so.

by FIFA Diva Sat 18 Aug 2012, 9:17 pm

Yes Mata is mine, £45m is a lot but he is a quality player you can tell by the amount of people who went for him.

by **Hero** Sat 18 Aug 2012, 11:44 pm

Twist's strikers got off to that blistering start I see...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 19 Aug 2012, 8:43 am

God I hope Man City stuff Southampton, and Chelsea stuff Wigan 6-0 today, so we can get out of the relegation zone Yahoo

Yeah......no pressure Fernando Laugh

Saying that, Ben Arfa had a really good game so I will take that. Giroud and Podolski was always going to take a few games to get to match fitness.

by **Hero** Sun 19 Aug 2012, 11:58 am

Ben Arfa did look good for you, less said about Suarez's finishing the better though Laugh

by TwisT Sun 19 Aug 2012, 12:07 pm

Very fair point. But, the one thing you can say about my team is I have options formation wise. So depending how my players do at the weekend, I can showcase the best players easily.

A little hard if they all have a stinker but the theory is sound Laugh

by **Hero** Sun 19 Aug 2012, 12:47 pm

Just wondering what sites people use at the mo for info gathering on players etc, one I've really been impressed with of late is HITC, the reporters on there seem to really care about their posts and research the subject well.

by **Hero** Sun 19 Aug 2012, 1:33 pm

That Hazard is struggling to settle I see...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 19 Aug 2012, 1:34 pm

An assist for Hazard. Looking better now TwisT Wink

by **Hero** Sun 19 Aug 2012, 1:37 pm

Make it two assists...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 19 Aug 2012, 1:38 pm

Why can't my players play like this Sad

by **Hero** Sun 19 Aug 2012, 1:42 pm

Nice commentary there from Alan Smith: Theyre clearly worried about the Frenchman.

He's from Belgium you nonce.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 19 Aug 2012, 1:43 pm

So Wigan seem to be up to there old trick of starting pants. Hopefully we will see the two 6-0's Norwich need to move out the relegation zone Wink

by TwisT Sun 19 Aug 2012, 1:44 pm

Paa Kwesi Eghan on Twitter: "Hazard's first contributions have been deft. What a signing.... what a start for Chelsea"

I dunno who this person is but it is on the bbc sports website Whistle

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 19 Aug 2012, 2:55 pm

Kaka to Utd rumours doing the rounds!!! Headscratch

Great player, not what Utd need though. If he comes, what does that mean for Shinji?

by The Special Juan Sun 19 Aug 2012, 3:00 pm

There's nothing in that at all. I'd take Sahin though; or preferably a bloomin' DM. Javi Martinez would have been lovely.

by **Hero** Sun 19 Aug 2012, 3:12 pm

I'm glad now we went nowhere near Martinez, keep reading a few things about his attitude being very pompous.

by nadeem2099 Sun 19 Aug 2012, 3:25 pm

Martinez is one crazy guy. Last season towards the end of the la liga season Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao at their stadium to clinch the title. After the final whistle Martinez was involved in a bust up with Ronaldo and was shown a red card. He reportedly said "Don't celebrate too much, I'm a world cup champion and your not, clown"

by Marky Sun 19 Aug 2012, 3:27 pm

I'm surprised United aren't sniffing around Nigel De Jong. Only 1 year left on his contract which could lead to him being sold and like him or dislike him, the closest thing to Roy Keane since Roy Keane.

by TwisT Sun 19 Aug 2012, 3:29 pm

Rodwell starts, Russell beat me to him via lawyers. I think de jong could be on his way out

by The Special Juan Sun 19 Aug 2012, 3:31 pm

Ah what a guy Javi. Is there such a thing as a nice DM though?

by TwisT Sun 19 Aug 2012, 4:44 pm

Davies beaten at his near post....he is really rubbish

by nadeem2099 Sun 19 Aug 2012, 4:49 pm

The goal was offside.

by sodhat Sun 19 Aug 2012, 4:53 pm

Afternoon guys

Saw The Stone Roses last night at V Festival, they were incredibly good. I usually hate bands that 'jam' but theirs was awesome.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 19 Aug 2012, 4:59 pm

TwisT wrote:Davies beaten at his near post....he is really rubbish

Yep I have been saying it too. That is one of the reasons why I think Saints will go down. He is crap

by sodhat Sun 19 Aug 2012, 5:04 pm

Does anyone have Sirigu?
Thinking about an upgrade at GK

by Fernando Sun 19 Aug 2012, 5:06 pm

no one seems to care about keepers tbh

by sodhat Sun 19 Aug 2012, 5:09 pm

No, I think that too, but Ochoa doesn't get all that much exposure. Maybe I'll make my decision based on PSG/Ajaccio later Laugh

by sodhat Sun 19 Aug 2012, 5:24 pm

Knew Lambert would score!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 19 Aug 2012, 5:25 pm

Another player I sold scores this weekend Sad

Grant Holt v2 this time

by sodhat Sun 19 Aug 2012, 5:28 pm

Good weekend for you so far then Olly...

Lambert has his work cut out this year. Villa were poo!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 19 Aug 2012, 5:36 pm

Soddy this has been a pretty appalling weekend for me!

Villa will be alright, Lambert will whip them into shape soon enough

by The Special Juan Sun 19 Aug 2012, 6:22 pm

Anyone hear Martin Tyler shreeve Shreeves?

by Gregers Sun 19 Aug 2012, 6:50 pm

Villa were awful, I'm sure they'll go down.

Still no WiFi but settled in new flat Very Happy

by Marky Sun 19 Aug 2012, 7:04 pm

Good to see Tevez and Dzeko scoring, while nobody is really counting, I make that;

2 of my strikers are playing today, both have scored as well (Moura and Higuain).

by Marky Sun 19 Aug 2012, 7:23 pm

To be fair I haven't checked if Di Natale or Abel Hernandez are playing yet Whistle

Has PSG kicked off yet? It's not showing on ESPN, just the studio part...

by **Hero** Sun 19 Aug 2012, 9:40 pm

3 out of 3

David Villlllllllaaaaaaaa!!!!!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sun 19 Aug 2012, 9:41 pm

I am so glad we are in the off season Whistle

by nadeem2099 Sun 19 Aug 2012, 10:08 pm

higuain's goal was pretty good but he should have scored the first time of asking.

Moura didn't score, Ochoa kept a clean sheet though... Whistle

by **Hero** Sun 19 Aug 2012, 10:18 pm

Moura scored in the 26th minute:
