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."

Soddy, do we send the star bids to you and hero again?

Yes please mate

I left you a notional 'offer' that was really more a question...

will star player results be today?

by The Special Juan Tue 21 Aug 2012, 11:38 am

I'm still in shock about last night. Fellaini > Toure?

Are they turning him into Heskey though? Lump it forward and get him to knock it on?

by FIFA Diva Tue 21 Aug 2012, 11:40 am

No one mentions Jagielka fouling Welbeck last night, went through him to get the ball. Bet if it was Vidic on Jelavic there would be an uproar.

by nadeem2099 Tue 21 Aug 2012, 11:41 am

Fellaini was playing more like a striker yesterday but I rate Toure better defensively than Fellaini.

Unlikely, unless everyone still with a bid declares their intention.

by Bull Tue 21 Aug 2012, 11:42 am

or if they bid how many we waiting for?

From memory, it was you, Gregers, Russ, Afro, and Nando with the bid remaining

EDIT: and Tooze

Exactly my point. Shrewd move by Everton, but I certainly don't think he is unplayable. I think teams will rise up to his threat now if he continues to play in that position

by Bull Tue 21 Aug 2012, 11:49 am

thats alot then we wont be done until next week.

Mine may be in tonight if I can raise some cash

Ansaldi and Boruc definitely available, others available if the offer is too good to turn down

We could now have a centre back pairing of Bassong and Turner. Literally nobody will get past without being hacked down.

(Disclaimer: Michael Turner will hopefully be nowhere near the starting XI now)

by Gregers Tue 21 Aug 2012, 11:59 am

Anyone else see Man U's new signing Andesron yesterday? Hopefully he's better than Anderson... Whistle

Also, and I found this amazing, in the allotted 90 minutes of a match Messi has scored in every minute except for minutes 1,2,10,14,15,46,61,69! That is some going

He's a fat so-and-so nowadays is Anderson. Makes Holt look like Twiggy.

I need 2 more u21's. Is anyone selling any for transfermarket value?

by Gregers Tue 21 Aug 2012, 12:05 pm

Muniesa or Dellofeu [sp?] could be available nadz, but will be for more than tm value

How dare you, I saw it on Facebook

by Bull Tue 21 Aug 2012, 12:06 pm

im not going to make an U21 team as i dont have any more space after i get my star player.

as the limit is 25.

by Gregers Tue 21 Aug 2012, 12:08 pm

Anyone got 2 tps remaining that I could use to get two people from lawyers, happy to pay cash on top to make it worthwhile

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 21 Aug 2012, 12:08 pm

Sebastien Bassong, sebastien bassoooooong, his name is perfect, for this f*cking song.

by Bull Tue 21 Aug 2012, 12:08 pm

you cant buy peoples Tps.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 21 Aug 2012, 12:09 pm

He isn't going to Bull picard

by Gregers Tue 21 Aug 2012, 12:10 pm

Bull I'm not buying tps, I'm asking someone to buy me two players who I will then buy off of them for a slight profit on their behalf...

by **Hero** Tue 21 Aug 2012, 12:18 pm

Twist have you seen that Man City have bid 24m for Jovetic?

by sodhat Tue 21 Aug 2012, 12:19 pm

They have also signed Sinclair apparently

And Dzeko is on his way somewhere else, with Ade apparently off to Spurs now for £5m

by Marky Tue 21 Aug 2012, 12:20 pm

Which Olly did last week, and I did for you weeks ago Bull.

by Gregers Tue 21 Aug 2012, 12:20 pm

Exactly Marky, well does anyone want to?

by Marky Tue 21 Aug 2012, 12:25 pm

I would but I've used mine.

by sodhat Tue 21 Aug 2012, 12:29 pm

I may do Gregers but I am waiting on deals before I can definitely spare them.

Hero wrote:Twist have you seen that Man City have bid 24m for Jovetic?

Yeah. I should have kept him and Ramirez really, but I don't think I did too bad out of it. It was just too up in the air, and it still might fall through. Plus, general consensus was that no one rated him.

by TwisT Tue 21 Aug 2012, 12:46 pm

I would love a bit more muscle in my midfield. Do I need it if I play the possesion game?

by **Hero** Tue 21 Aug 2012, 12:48 pm

Euphemism?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 21 Aug 2012, 12:49 pm

Swansea played the possession game last season to great effect. I wouldn't exactly say Leon Britton, Joe Allen and Gylfi Sigurdsson were muscle guyys

Olly wrote:Swansea played the possession game last season to great effect. I wouldn't exactly say Leon Britton, Joe Allen and Gylfi Sigurdsson were muscle guyys

Exactly. If I lose the ball Nando, I have ball winners in my side. Allen and Lucas and Cabaye have all done that job

by FIFA Diva Tue 21 Aug 2012, 12:57 pm

If you don't play a specialist DM in these games you get marked down for it, Arteta is not a DM but he has played that role brilliantly. Ok he don't tackle as much as someone like Lucas would but he is good at sitting back, watching players who make runs, follow them and jockey and put a foot in when he needs to.

Man Utd don't play with a DM but they seem to do fine.

"Firefighters have warned of the dangers of driving into a petrol forecourt when your car is on fire. picard

It came after a blazing Renault pulled into the Co-op petrol station on the A2, Watling Street, at 8.30pm yesterday.

A spokesman for Kent Fire and Rescue said the man made the ‘sudden decision’ to drive into the forecourt and park after noticing flames coming from his car.

Firefighters spent an hour putting out the blaze and carrying out safety checks at the garage.

The spokesman added: "If you realise that your car might be alight when you are driving, pull over at the first available opportunity, but try to avoid exposing other people to risk."

No one was injured in the incident."

Im biased I know, but I think a midfield of Allen-Lucas-Cabaye could work. Keep hearing conflicting reports of whether Allen had a good game or not. On the face of it, I thought Lucas and Allen might make a very good partnership in midfield for Liverpool. I will give him time.

I was also impressed with the Cleverley and Scholes partnership. What did you think Viva? If CB's were fit, would you prefer a Scholes + Carrick centre midfield?

Did anyone go to V Festival in Chelmsford this year by the way?

My word, it was Essex in a nutshell. I have never been so angered by fashion.
