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."

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.

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?

That does look like a good midfield, you've got a mixed balance of players that compliment each other.

The thing with Scholes and Carrick is they both will sit back and don't push forward, we need someone that can drive forward making a run or giving us another option when we get foward. I'd like to see Cleverly start alot more and we need to stop relying on Scholes. Carrick plus the other two rotating would be my choice.

by sodhat Tue Aug 21, 2012 10:17 pm

Scholes looked a little shot shy yesterday I thought. Not a criticism because I still thought he was Utd's best player, but there were a couple of openings where I thought he would hit it but he laid it off.

Like I said originally though, I would like some strength there when I face certain teams.

I agree with Cleverley. He looked like he wanted to push on, but Everton defended well. I think Kagawa is not be used well. I would like to see him in front of Carrick and Cleverley, with Valencia and Young beside him. Problem is, you would have to choose between RVP or Rooney.

Viva, are you a one direction fan?

Hey Nando

by sodhat Tue Aug 21, 2012 11:53 pm

Just seen Marky's tactics and we're both playing the same basic idea!

Be interesting to get feedback on our set ups, selfishly I'd like to know what you thought of the way we play.

I guess voting is open on the game now though

How much monies do you get for voting?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed Aug 22, 2012 1:22 am

I'm bottom of our fantasy league Sad

Marky is top of that as well, some people just want all the glory Rolling Eyes

by sodhat Wed Aug 22, 2012 1:32 am

I was near bottom until yesterday. Then I got clean sheets for Everton, and Utd players got a couple of points too, and I went 2nd!

by nadeem2099 Wed Aug 22, 2012 1:36 am

I wonder how many people in the UK order the WWE PPV's they show on box office. They charge way too much imo. £15 is way too much.

by **Hero** Wed Aug 22, 2012 1:36 am

Not half as bad as in the States where it cost £32

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed Aug 22, 2012 1:37 am

I usually stream it Nadz. But then I am only 16, so it is my only means of watching a lot of things I dont wanna pay for

by The Special Juan Wed Aug 22, 2012 1:38 am

I can't believe anyone would pay money for it in all honesty.

by nadeem2099 Wed Aug 22, 2012 1:49 am

the price should be rated on how big the PPV is imo. For example Summerslam is the 2nd biggest PPV WWE do. I think there is the so called big 3 of PPV's. Summerslam, Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania. These should be the premium ones where they charge about £10. The rest they should charge about £5.

by **Hero** Wed Aug 22, 2012 1:53 am

Mania in the States is over £40 to buy.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed Aug 22, 2012 1:55 am

TBH the kids will get the parents to pay the money to watch it, so the prices will stay the same. And if people are gonna stream it, they are gonna stream it. It dont matter if the price came down

by nadeem2099 Wed Aug 22, 2012 1:56 am

I heard that TNA let people in for free on their weekly impact shows and only charge you on PPV's.

*today's

by The Special Juan Wed Aug 22, 2012 2:00 am

I don't think it is "today's" as, arguably, the "youths" do not belong to "today".

by sodhat Wed Aug 22, 2012 2:03 am

I suppose it can be argued either way, but I would say "today's" as today possesses the youths

If you type and look at "today" enough it starts to look like a ridiculous word

by The Special Juan Wed Aug 22, 2012 2:05 am

Same with "Week". When I was doing all the fixtures I had to type "week" about 30 times and ended up going mental thinking it wasn't actually a word.

by The Special Juan Wed Aug 22, 2012 2:09 am

Above post ammended. I sat, thought about it for about 10 minutes and came to the conclusion that it's probably "today's"

Adebayor signs for Spurs Yahoo

Means he will get some game time, thank god something has gone right for me on this league

by Fernando Wed Aug 22, 2012 2:50 am

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed Aug 22, 2012 2:51 am

1 out of 10 what?

by Fernando Wed Aug 22, 2012 2:52 am

things gone right for you

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed Aug 22, 2012 2:54 am

Yeah it is, and probably the least important. I can't believe Bull isn't taking my Lloris for Ter Stegen offer

Olly needs an U21 most likely.

I actually have plenty to be fair. Alaba, Caulker, Svender (I think), Willems, Powell

by The Special Juan Wed Aug 22, 2012 3:02 am

Svender's 23 (I did think he was younger than that though). An U21 that you could play and not get "penalised" for?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed Aug 22, 2012 3:03 am

Bloody hell didn't realise he was that old Laugh

I have a TP for next week that is a U21 so I am fine on that front

by The Special Juan Wed Aug 22, 2012 3:09 am

Yeah I thought they were around 21/22. Bizarre.

Get the feeling someone represents the wrong country?

That is how much Samuel Eto'o earns in milestones. It is crazy

by Bull Wed Aug 22, 2012 3:35 am

im not taking part in the cup.

im not losing my players for U21 players so im out.

would like a PM if my SP offer has been beaten.

by The Special Juan Wed Aug 22, 2012 3:36 am

He's worth every penny I'm sure.

by Marky Wed Aug 22, 2012 4:03 am

Bull, you only need 3 U21 players, which I thought you already had.

Have you been trying to build an U21 team unnecessarily? Laugh

by Fernando Wed Aug 22, 2012 4:06 am

He has 7 pretty decent u21 players yet not entering the cup?

by Bull Wed Aug 22, 2012 4:15 am

huh?

we only need 3 and the rest can be normal?

Dam i thought we needed a full Under 21 team

by Fernando Wed Aug 22, 2012 4:17 am

Please tell me this is a joke bull it's been said all along that you only need 3 u21's

by sodhat Wed Aug 22, 2012 4:21 am

Bull, you nutter.
