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."

Lucas Moura has gone up 9m in the month since I bought him.

by Marky Mon 20 Aug 2012, 2:24 pm

I'm out so I'll work out my squad's value later.

But it's basically;

Handanovic, Zabaleta, Kompany, Subotic, Kolarov, Essien, Schweinsteiger, Hamsik, Sneijder, Tevez, Dzeko if someone wants to work out my first XI's value

by **Hero** Mon 20 Aug 2012, 2:29 pm

Handanovic 13m
Zabaleta 13m
Kompany 31m
Subotic 16m
Kolarov 12.5m
Essien 21m
Schweinsteiger 31m
Hamsik 22m

Who's got the most expensive starting 11 in the world irl? I think its probably real madrid then barcelona.

by **Hero** Mon 20 Aug 2012, 2:56 pm

I have Madrid's starting eleven coming in at a whopping 371m (3m shy of my entire squad).

by nadeem2099 Mon 20 Aug 2012, 3:02 pm

lol thats a funny fact.
Im assuming you used these players,
Casillas
Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo
Khedira, Alonso
Di Maria, Ozil, CR7
Benzema

Currently at bowling alley, keep sneaking off to the bar when its not my turn to watch the cricket.

Its not overly exciting, but England haven't lost yet and still hold a very very outside chance of w- (refuse to say the word in case I jinx it!)

by Marky Mon 20 Aug 2012, 3:30 pm

Jinxed it anyway picard

by The Special Juan Mon 20 Aug 2012, 3:32 pm

How exciting. A sport that.... 9 teams play?

by Marky Mon 20 Aug 2012, 3:36 pm

Scotland has a Cricket team you know. Mostly featuring Australian, English and Indian born players not good enough for their own country but still.

by **Hero** Mon 20 Aug 2012, 3:37 pm

I think they should liven it up with stuff like multi balls, balls with weights in one side, wickets that move up and down, things to jump over, basically make it like Total Wipeout.

by The Special Juan Mon 20 Aug 2012, 3:38 pm

Ha knew there was a Scotland joke coming up. I don't know if you can taunt someone about a sport they don't care about.

Oh like Pietersen, Trott, Strauss, Kieswetter?

At least we don't do it in football as well TSJ Whistle

Do Scotland have any sports they do care about? They do their best to not show it based on performances.

by The Special Juan Mon 20 Aug 2012, 3:47 pm

Ouch, that would hurt if I cared about the scotland national team.

by Marky Mon 20 Aug 2012, 3:49 pm

Womens Curling and Cycling. And Tennis. Even then it's all about Team GB.

We won the Tour de France. Now you go...

by The Special Juan Mon 20 Aug 2012, 3:58 pm

Sorry that was England, that was "Team Sky". There's a difference Smile

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 20 Aug 2012, 3:59 pm

Did an Englishman not win it? Sir Wiggo

by The Special Juan Mon 20 Aug 2012, 3:59 pm

Not but he wasn't representing "England" like the ex-World Number 1 England Cricket Team.

by Bull Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:01 pm

if anyone wants to work out mine they can.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:01 pm

Oh right I just thought we were doing English and Scottish people lol.

How about replying to my offer Bull?

by The Special Juan Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:05 pm

It's a bit of fun. Our alcoholic nation couldn't get off their backsides to take part in sport even if they wanted to (which they don't).

by **Hero** Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:05 pm

Darts and snooker?

by The Special Juan Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:06 pm

We're not even good at either of those anymore. Our best darts player was banned for punching a fellow competitor in the face and our best snooker player is at the end of his career.

by The Special Juan Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:31 pm

So will RVP start tonight?

by **Hero** Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:32 pm

I think he'll come off the bench with about 20 mins to go.

by The Special Juan Mon 20 Aug 2012, 4:36 pm

Ah I want to see him starting but wouldn't be opposed to Rooney/Kagwa up front. As long as Shinji starts.

You know when someone doesn't quite look their age.......

That's how I imagine he looks in your mind when you're daydreaming.

Except he's on a horse, topless.

These Kaka to Utd rumours seem to be gaining ground and a few reputable tweeters are saying there is contact between the two clubs over a deal, the stumbling block is how much Utd would have to pay percentage wise on a year long loan as his wage is 250k a year, Utd have offered 48%.

by Marky Mon 20 Aug 2012, 6:01 pm

Would it be wise for debt ridden Manchester United to spend around £125k a week for 1 year on a player they don't need?

by The Special Juan Mon 20 Aug 2012, 6:04 pm

We need to stop buying AM's and buy a DM. Gee whizz.

by FIFA Diva Mon 20 Aug 2012, 6:08 pm

guillem balague has said its false.

by The Special Juan Mon 20 Aug 2012, 6:09 pm

Is he the fat Spanish guy that does the Spanish Football on Sky Sports?

Shirt sales and global positioning basically. Income > Outgoings

It's certainly noticeable this summer that the shift in power is changing again towards the Premier League over La Liga.
Yes Modric and Song have gone to the big two but they've not acquired any of the next big things this summer like they usually do whilst Hazard, Kagawa, Oscar, Cazorla, Marin, Giroud have come to the Premier League and Moura & Lavezzi have to PSG, even Martinez is looking to be turning his back on the big two to go Germany.
