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

He probably will say he did now, just to spite you.

I don't agree. In this form of the game, he is destructive. If he is in the mood, you want him in facing as many balls as possible.

South Africa are out right, what do India need to do to go through?

by **Afro** Wed Oct 03, 2012 12:24 am

South Africa are out. India need to win big to overturn Pakistan's better net run rate. Not sure what it equates to in actual runs.

India need to win by somewhere around 30 runs

Wasn't Shoaib Akhtar the party boy of Pakistani cricket?

I used to love bowling as him on Cricket 2002 (EA Sports...) because he was noticably faster than everyone else.

BigFellasAfro wrote:India need to win by somewhere around 30 runs

They will easily do that, South Africa won't care, Amla will be looking to do a favour for India (Parents from there I think) and probably the most important thing India are world champions.

by **Afro** Wed Oct 03, 2012 12:47 am

England are still world champions for the moment.

India will win, but they won't win by 30

Yeah he was, didn't he have an unhealthy rivarly with Brett Lee more bothered about getting to the 100 MPH mark before Brett. I heard rumors that he used to inject himself with Bull sperm to make him a lot more stronger and quicker but it didn't work.

I made that rumor up just now.

I think he actually did have a ban for steroids or something - it was definitely a drug thing but I'm hazy on the details.

He broke 100mph first didn't he? Must destroy your body to be going all out for something like that.

I meant proper World Champions, 20/20 is just a watered down version of the real thing.

50 overs is just a watered down version of the real real thing...

So South Africa are the best.

This is a T20 tournament though Laugh

The 50 over game will be gone in a few years, and this watered down game will be the limited overs game of choice

Yes he did take something, very talented but didn't have the right temprement plus he seemed like a right dick never liked him. I don't know who broke the 100 MPH first, he was too obsessed with it.

by **Afro** Wed Oct 03, 2012 12:59 am

He was obsessed with bowling 100mph, often to the detriment of Pakistan

Afro do yuo remember last season when I asked you about Arteta and how he'd do at Arsenal? Laugh

up there with Hansens "You'll never win anything with kids"

by **Afro** Wed Oct 03, 2012 1:32 am

What did I say? Laugh

by FIFA Diva Wed Oct 03, 2012 1:40 am

That injuries have taken their toll and he'll be lucky to be as half as good as he used to be. Basically you expected him to be a failure at Arsenal.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed Oct 03, 2012 1:43 am

Afternoon boys! Sent my 2nd draft over to Hero, is that right?

Wass gorn on?

by **Afro** Wed Oct 03, 2012 1:44 am

I remember. For his last 1 and a half seasons with us, he was a bit anonymous.

He is now looking like the player he used to be for us. How wrong was I?!!

No offence to Everton but one reason why Arteta looks better is because he plays with better players, players on his level, at Everton he could make the right pass but the player would miss or not understand the pass, at Arsenal players are at his wave length and they play Football the way he likes to.

Thats not really true because he looked as good for us in his first 4 years as he now does for Arsenal.

It was just that last 18 months after his bad knee injury where he looked off the pace. He probably needed the move when it came

Hey guys.

My 2nd round draft is sent

Should have a good line-up if I get these few players.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed Oct 03, 2012 2:40 am

When is the deadline for 2nd drafts? Is it Friday again?

by sodhat Wed Oct 03, 2012 2:42 am

Friday I presume - but didn't you send already Olly?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed Oct 03, 2012 2:44 am

Yeah I just wanted to make sure people knew the deadline, so hopefully Bull won't ask every two hours now

by sodhat Wed Oct 03, 2012 2:45 am

He knew the deadline last time and still asked every five minutes Laugh

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed Oct 03, 2012 2:50 am

Will there be a 3rd draft for people like me who will only have like 13 players Laugh

by **Hero** Wed Oct 03, 2012 2:53 am

Yes, it should take minimal time to sort too.

Thanks Viva, but I don't know any U16s to take sadly.

Some of those comments Laugh

Pretty sure the ICF doesn't operate on the same scale anymore, and if it did, they wouldn't go for kids.
