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."

I was going to buy him next week.

by Bull Thu Aug 23, 2012 6:11 pm

does anyone need a U21 player?

by Bull Thu Aug 23, 2012 6:11 pm

Well i have hero lol

Bit of a looker isn't he?

Fit right in with Rooney

by sodhat Thu Aug 23, 2012 6:15 pm

And Bull, are you trying to buy every midfielder in the world?

nadeem2099 wrote:Can you explain more clearer please hero. I'm confused like a rubix cube.

Basically for the reboot I will post 25 pools of 16 players broken down as follows:

2 xGK
2 x LB
2 x RB
4 x CB
1 x DM
4 x CM
2 x AM
2 x RW
2 x LW
4 x ST

From these pools everyone will PM myself and another runner the order in which they would like to receive those players. If you're first in the draft for that pool you get your first pick. It goes round everyone and they get basically whichever player is first in their list that hasn't already been picked. It's basically a draft system but without the need for everyone to be about at the same time.

by nadeem2099 Thu Aug 23, 2012 6:17 pm

Bull I need one u21. Sell him to me. Or else.....

by Bull Thu Aug 23, 2012 6:17 pm

i may have to sell Jese so if your looking for a Under 21 player he is for sale =)

Looking fpr a u21 winger.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu Aug 23, 2012 6:46 pm

And Hero I like the idea a lot, although it is gonna take some doing lol

by **Hero** Thu Aug 23, 2012 7:08 pm

Yeah the creating of 25 pools will be some effort and then the working out of each pool who gets what will be fun!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu Aug 23, 2012 7:11 pm

Wouldn't it be cool if everyone put a different person at the top of each pool, so everyone got who they wanted Laugh

by **Hero** Thu Aug 23, 2012 7:12 pm

Yeah but that ain't happening I imagine.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu Aug 23, 2012 7:19 pm

Ok here is what I would rank your example pool as

Rui Patricio - 1st
Michael Vorm - 2nd
Julio Cesar - 3rd
Marc-Andre ter Stegen - 4th
Tim Krul - 5th
Steve Mandana - 6th
Thibaut Courtois -7th
Bernd Leno - 8th
Maarten Stekelenburg - 9th
Sirigu - 10th
Diego Alves - 11th
Rene Adler - 12th
Fernando Muslera - 13th
Sebastien Frey - 14th
Emiliano Viviano - 15th
Vicente Guaita - 16th

So that is how we would do it?

Yep spot on, so if on this you went 12th and the first 9 on your picks had already gone then you'd get the 10th on your list (Sirigu)

by **Hero** Thu Aug 23, 2012 7:37 pm

When doing it though I'd request that everyone sticks to the same format when replying so it makes it easier for me to then stick everything into a spreadsheet and work out who gets what.

by Trebs Thu Aug 23, 2012 7:45 pm

When you do 4 x cb, would you have four batches of them theb?

by Marky Thu Aug 23, 2012 7:56 pm

I really don't like the system. The whole point of this league was to build your own squad from scratch like we did at the start. The selecting of players from pools is alright but it shouldn't be in this league IMO.

by **Hero** Thu Aug 23, 2012 7:58 pm

Yes, there would be two pools of semi decents ones and two pools of not so decent ones/youngsters etc.

Initially though the league was just not doing anything transfer wise and that for a lot of people is the fun.

by Gregers Thu Aug 23, 2012 7:59 pm

Why can't we just build from scratch again?

by **Hero** Thu Aug 23, 2012 8:00 pm

Because for a lot of people they were then happy with their squads and hardly any transfers happened for ages.

by Gregers Thu Aug 23, 2012 8:02 pm

Fair enough, but would the pool system boost transfers? Part of the excitement is working out who people are unlikely to go for and going for them

by Trebs Thu Aug 23, 2012 8:02 pm

What if ypu did it a league at a time?

So initial draft is. Pl players only
season 2 add la liga & bundesliga
season 3 open all other leagues

or somethingblike that

by **Hero** Thu Aug 23, 2012 8:03 pm

Well you'd be getting a batch of 25 players that from which you'd probably be happy with 8 or 9 I'd be guessing.

by Bull Thu Aug 23, 2012 8:04 pm

I like the pool idea and maybe having the 2 star player bids to

That's an interesting idea, not averse to that

by Gregers Thu Aug 23, 2012 8:05 pm

The problem with the pools is we know the 16 players that are entering the league.

by Marky Thu Aug 23, 2012 8:49 pm

Thing is, there's already the Fantasy European League and the Realistic Premier League where you are given a squad of players and start making transfers. This league is unique in that you have a blank canvas to begin with and you create your own squads.

The only thing I would change is maybe have less money at the start, instead of the £150m + £50m budget, something like £120m and £30m budgets.

Other than that, this league has been a great success, and if it aint broke, don't fix it.

by nadeem2099 Thu Aug 23, 2012 11:27 pm

I like that saying. "if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it is broke, use superglue"

by Russell_Elmo Thu Aug 23, 2012 11:34 pm

Someone please tell me what is going on with our second SP bids??

by **Hero** Thu Aug 23, 2012 11:38 pm

We're still waiting on a couple of bids.

Cut off is midnight tonight

Hopefully tomorrow when you know your SP, we can get that deal sorted Russ

by nadeem2099 Fri Aug 24, 2012 1:11 am

What would happen IF for some reason like a glitch or something Cristiano Ronaldo's transfermarket value went down to 30mill and only one person put a bid in for him. Then after the bidding has finished and everyone gets their players Ronaldo's value goes back to what it previously was. What would happen to Ronaldo?

by Gregers Fri Aug 24, 2012 1:14 am

Anyone want to buy delofeu for £5 million?
Under 21...

by **Hero** Fri Aug 24, 2012 1:15 am

There was a player the other week that was a complete nobody that suddenly had a value of 200m rather than 200k. They quickly realised their error and amended it.

I think basically we'd realise it was an error as they would and sort it out.

by Russell_Elmo Fri Aug 24, 2012 1:50 am

Anyone watching Real vs Barca?

by Marky Fri Aug 24, 2012 2:01 am

by Russell_Elmo Fri Aug 24, 2012 2:07 am

Real Madird vs. Barcelona.

Barcelona are scary when attacking in force!

by Marky Fri Aug 24, 2012 2:09 am

Nah, playing FIFA 12. My Crawley Town side in League 1 away to Scunthorpe. Exciting stuff!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri Aug 24, 2012 2:10 am

I lost 6-4 away to United with my Norwich team in career mode earlier. I went 3-1 up inside 20 mins, 3-3 at HT, then I went 4-3 up on 75 mins, and lost 6-4 lol

SKY SOURCES: Norwich in talks to sign Anderlecht captain Lucas Biglia on an initial loan deal. #SSN

Please please please please please let this be true. He isn't the striker we needed, but he is the DM/CM that we need!!!!! (I can't believe this is true, weren't Madrid sniffing around him?)

by Gregers Fri Aug 24, 2012 11:20 am

Should I be anticipating an offer olly?
