Here’s how it basically works.
You have a budget of 100m to purchase a squad with the following stipulations:

1. You MUST have a minimum of 6 players from the country designated to you.
2. You MUST have a minimum of 3 players that were born on or after 1st October 1991.
3. You CANNOT go over the squad limit of 25.

To buy your squad then you must make sealed bids for the players. How this works is that you check the value of the players on TM, the MINIMUM cost is what their value is on there, but you can bid more than that as others may wish to buy that player. The maximum value of a player that you can bid for is £12m although may wish to bid more than that in order to acquire him.
So for example;
Bull places a sealed bid of 875k for Paul Scholes as that is the TM value.
Viva places a sealed bid of 1m for Scholes as he thinks others may be bidding for him.

Viva therefore wins.

ALL squads are PM’d to myself and a designated neutral party (to ensure fairplay I will send my squad list first so it cannot be said I’ve gazumped anyone). I then reveal who has got which player in the first draft.
We continue the process until everyone has then spent up and we move onto the Star Player bid which works under the same principle although you have a budget of 25m + whatever remained from your normal bids for ONE player who has a value up to 25m

Clarification: Betting players or money between 2 clubs is strictly prohibited

After the current one.

The cup has been abandoned (i'm declaring myself the winner Whistle

) so only 4 games left of this season.

by ncfc_Tooze Mon 24 Sep 2012, 17:46

okey dokey thanks Marky

Olly etc who watch NFL, how did a player get mick foleyed (losing part of ear) the other day?

Bloomin' hell.

Crawley Town being predicted to beat Swansea tomorrow, some even suggesting we have an advantage as we're at home, on a narrow pitch etc. I thought cup upsets were meant to be upsets?!

by ncfc_Tooze Mon 24 Sep 2012, 18:00

I think you have a good chance marky.

by Marky Mon 24 Sep 2012, 18:00

I think we have a good chance too, but favourites?!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 24 Sep 2012, 18:04

Amazing thing about that ear loss thing was that he only missed one play and was straight back in. That was one hell of a hit.

And so is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ezd9NcQivtA

I wouldnt say faves no

you just need to stop them doing there fancy passing, they have no plan B

hello

Is that the plan to stop Swansea, Spain or Barcelona?

by ncfc_Tooze Mon 24 Sep 2012, 18:17

yeah, pretty much

by Marky Mon 24 Sep 2012, 18:19

Should be easy then Wink

by **Hero** Mon 24 Sep 2012, 19:04

That was probably the biggest deal I've ever done in the league then Marky

Osvaldo I actually rate but didn't want to let on, scored 4 goals this season in RL including a stunning bicycle kick.

by Bull Mon 24 Sep 2012, 19:04

Marky got the better side of that deal.

by **Hero** Mon 24 Sep 2012, 19:07

Marky certainly did better squad wise but I also improved my first team.
I swapped out Hummels to bring in Kompany and Moura to bring in Sanchez essentially.
He gains the Dortmund centre back pairing whilst I gain the Man City spine of Kompany & Toure, also get the Barca link up of Xavi and Sanchez.

by Trebs Mon 24 Sep 2012, 19:07

Evening all

by Bull Mon 24 Sep 2012, 19:08

still think Marky has done much better

by Marky Mon 24 Sep 2012, 19:12

I rate Osvaldo too but Villa is an improvement. De Rossi is an improvement on M'Vila. Moura isn't as good as Sanchez and while Kompany is better than Hummels, I left Kompany out last week anyway Laugh

by Marky Mon 24 Sep 2012, 19:12

Definitely a 50/50 deal though.

by Bull Mon 24 Sep 2012, 19:13

nah 60/40 to marky

by **Hero** Mon 24 Sep 2012, 19:16

I think it's 50/50 myself as well, both gained twice, both lost twice.

by Trebs Mon 24 Sep 2012, 19:20

That deal is worthy of something you'd see on The Real Hustle.

by **Afro** Mon 24 Sep 2012, 19:40

IMO

Villa > Osvaldo
Hummels > Kompany
De Rossi > M'Vila (De Rossi has been poor for 2 years, but he is better than Mvila)
Moura << Sanchez

I think Hero has essentially weakened his squad and defence a little, but improved his attack a lot

by Marky Mon 24 Sep 2012, 19:46

Thoughts on Salvatore Sirigu? I've just signed him in TP's (subject to no-one else having him) as Handanovic is injured and my backup GK is an unknown U21, seeing as the cup is abandoned I got a better backup!

by **Afro** Mon 24 Sep 2012, 19:48

Sirigu is a really good keeper, but then I think Gabriel would have been a sufficient back-up. But if you have money to spend and nothing else to spend it on, you wouldn't have got much of a better keeper in TPs

by Marky Mon 24 Sep 2012, 20:17

Pretty much my thinking.

The only position of player readily available in TP's is goalkeepers so worth spending money on when it wouldn't have been in Season 1.

by Fernando Mon 24 Sep 2012, 20:19

no offence but if 4 weeks to go why not just start now?

by Bull Mon 24 Sep 2012, 20:20

agree with nando just start over now.

by **Afro** Mon 24 Sep 2012, 20:21

Because I'm going to beat you to the title Nando Whistle

by Fernando Mon 24 Sep 2012, 20:25

we don't even have a table Laugh

by **Afro** Mon 24 Sep 2012, 20:29

I know. Hero's going to win the championship again this season

by TwisT Mon 24 Sep 2012, 20:34

I have 26m and players for sale. I know the kind of players I would like.

Nando, could you answer my offer please.

by TwisT Mon 24 Sep 2012, 20:37

And yes.....I would like to start the new season now. It seems stupid to rush through a season just for the sake of it

by Trebs Mon 24 Sep 2012, 20:38

I want to see what happens this season if I'm honest. I feel I have a shot of winning the title.

However, if everyone wants to scrap it, then I understand.

by **Afro** Mon 24 Sep 2012, 20:44

Championship table will be:

Team	Pts	GF	GA	GD
Barearselona	9	9	1	+8
Liege	9	9	1	+8

With all due respect trebs, I think it is going to be Soddy or Hero or Juan.

by nadeem2099 Mon 24 Sep 2012, 20:47

By the year 2025 the world population will increase to 8 billion people. By the year 2080 it will reach 12billion.

by Trebs Mon 24 Sep 2012, 20:48

Maybe we could turn it into a cup competition which last two weeks? Compromising it.

So it's top 4 in PL
Bottom 4 in PL
Top 4 in Championship
Bottom 4 in Championship

Would take two gameweeks to end it, semi finals this weekend and a final next weekend. Then the whole game would be over in two weeks.

I would be amazed if it was outside those 3. You have a decent side Treb's, but those three's teams are up another level. Normally you could gain by tactics, but everyone is that league puts the effort in that that is not going to separate you and it comes down to the players

by Bull Mon 24 Sep 2012, 20:50

start the league again Euro Division Homepage XXXI - Page 5 3559488474

Too many years, have come and gone
This is our time, to prove them wrong
We'll win, if we stand strong
Wouldn't that be unbelievable.

Some say, that we're not good enough
But with, a little bit of luck
We can bring home the cup
Wouldn't that be unbelievable!

Yeah pretty much!

by TwisT Mon 24 Sep 2012, 20:55

I am already on transfermarkt checking out the German players

by **Afro** Mon 24 Sep 2012, 20:56

Uwe Seeler or Karl Heinz Riedle

That's my recommendations Ok!

by TwisT Mon 24 Sep 2012, 20:58

To be honest, I already have my draft picks in mind
