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."

Sign up now for the Euro Division Telegraph Fantasy Football League!

Based on last season

-------------------------De Gea----------------------
-----Jones------Kompany-------Evans-----Clichy------
--------------------Toure----Carrick------------------
Valencia------------------------------------------Silva
--------------------Rooney----Aguero-----------------

Really tough one for the goalies, as I think De Gea is a great shot stopper and improved so much over last season.

Hart > De Gea

What would be your combined Manchester XI? All current Man U and City players are eligible.

Hart

Zabaleta - Kompany - Vidic - Kolarov

Yaya Toure - Carrick

Nasri - Rooney - Silva

Aguero

I would be tempted to play 4-1-3-2. Remove Carrick and put Kagawa in the middle of Nasri and Silva. Then Rooney and Aquero up front.

To be honest, with their attacking line-ups, I would maybe play 3 at the back

Taking the Man Utd/Man City debate further, what if we made a team of the best Arsenal/Chelsea players as a London team to take on Manchester?

Sagna---Koscielny---Vermaelen---Cole

Suarez is not a winger you'd be better off playing Hazard out there with Suarez AM

Think it shows the difference in class between Manchester and London when the best London can muster is Song and Torres in their respective positions there Sod Wink

by The Special Juan Fri 17 Aug 2012, 11:21 am

Van Persie signs! (And no, that isn't the joke)

Well it was him or Giroud, and we all know Giroud will be a massive flop and Twist will be swinging from the bannisters by the seasons end.

Song was better than Mikel... I think it could be competitive to be fair, but I'd expect Manchester to win in the end.

by Trebs Fri 17 Aug 2012, 11:24 am

------------------------Cech-----------------------
Ivanovic-------Cahill------------Koscielny-------Cole
-----------------------Mikel------------------------
-------------Arteta-------------Ramires------------

----------------------RVP--------------------------

Again, based on last season's performances. If not RVP then I suppose it has to be Torres.

by **Hero** Fri 17 Aug 2012, 11:28 am

Here's one for everyone then...

A 4-2-3-1 formation for each of the following; Utd, City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs.

Then from that order them in their respective positions, in regards to CBs put the better one on the left.

by Marky Fri 17 Aug 2012, 11:29 am

Telegraph team;

Hart

Cahill - Kompany - Baines

Ben Arfa - Delap - Michu - Cazorla

Aguero - RVP - Jelavic

Delap for the throw-in assists thumbsup

by sodhat Fri 17 Aug 2012, 11:32 am

----------------Hart
Sagna---Kompany---Vidic---Cole

Tough one though, Bale could be LW, and plenty miss out.

I think Stoke might be phasing him out, they replaced him with another long thrower at times last season...

Everyone has Jelavic this year (me included)! I bet he flops.

by The Special Juan Fri 17 Aug 2012, 11:37 am

Naismith is where the goals are at.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 17 Aug 2012, 11:38 am

TwisT, I would say Hazard at RW > Suarez at RW personally

by sodhat Fri 17 Aug 2012, 11:42 am

Hazard tends to play on the left or in the centre when I've seen him

Suarez goes all over the place, he was up front, AM, LW, RW last year. Depends what Rodgers has planned.

by Bull Fri 17 Aug 2012, 11:53 am

RVP signs theres a picture on the united site looks like he will wear the number 31?
Headscratch

by sodhat Fri 17 Aug 2012, 11:54 am

I'd take the 9 off Berbatov and let him have that. Berbs was 9, right?

by Bull Fri 17 Aug 2012, 11:56 am

yes thats what ive been saying to sodhat.

by Marky Fri 17 Aug 2012, 11:58 am

31 could be his training squad number, i've read in the past they don't match up to the first team squad numbers.

by Bull Fri 17 Aug 2012, 11:59 am

yeah could be.

i guess we will know when he holds up the shirt like Kagawa/Powell.

by sodhat Fri 17 Aug 2012, 12:02 pm

I saw a paper with 9 as his number. It was only an ad for Fantasy Football, and it was only the Metro, which is a low content free paper. Still, it makes sense.

And Fergie mentioned his entire strikeforce yesterday, but didn't mention Berba at all. Must be moving on.

by sodhat Fri 17 Aug 2012, 12:15 pm

As soon as you see this Tooze, can you let us know whether you are making a Star Player bid mate?

If not we can reveal this afternoon.

by Marky Fri 17 Aug 2012, 1:00 pm

Sort it out Olly, Tooze needs to answer ASAP, you're his mate, text him even if you have to send the PM

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 17 Aug 2012, 1:17 pm

Star player bids don't affect me no more!

What does that mean?

by The Special Juan Fri 17 Aug 2012, 1:24 pm

You might have to PM his bid.

McNulty tips City for the league and Wigan, Saints and Reading to go down.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/philmcnulty/2012/08/my_premier_league_2012-13_pred.html

Not sure how much water that holds with people. Everyone I have spoken to so far seems to believe Saints and Reading are doomed, and West Ham will survive, even though they finished above us!

by The Special Juan Fri 17 Aug 2012, 1:28 pm

McNumpty

It's the "Big Sam" factor. He's like the Fergie of the relegation zone; he's teams always survive.

by Trebs Fri 17 Aug 2012, 1:29 pm

No chance Wigan will be relegated.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 17 Aug 2012, 1:30 pm

Wouldn't say no chance Trebs. I think they will go down also.

by sodhat Fri 17 Aug 2012, 1:34 pm

They always fight out somehow though. I hope they don't, their chairman is a bell end, but I like Martinez.

I think he was too generous to West Brom, QRP and Norwich having them clear. It could be any three from 8 or 9.

Yeah it will definately be tight. If we are as far clear as last year, I will be surprised.

Dave Whelan is a dick. He was linking Martinez with other peoples jobs, like Villa, when they didn't even want him! He is a strange man
