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

Cheers afro. I'll update it after star player results.

by Guest Mon 08 Oct 2012, 1:59 pm

Nadeem I posted on your team page. I think you went over the £100m.

by **Afro** Mon 08 Oct 2012, 2:01 pm

I have all the squad list on an Excel file to keep track of people's budgets, so can confirm anyone who wants to know how much they have left

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon 08 Oct 2012, 2:03 pm

Hero, Ander Herrera & Susaeta I like. Got some good players there.

by GSC Mon 08 Oct 2012, 2:05 pm

I believe I should have 4.7m left.

Thoughts on mah team?

by nadeem2099 Mon 08 Oct 2012, 2:07 pm

Azzy how sure are you? I'm off for a bit now so can someone triple check it for me please.

PM for you

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon 08 Oct 2012, 2:14 pm

Good team GSC. Think your fullbacks may struggle a bit with the with the attacking talent in the league but then again that goes for a lot of us. All round good squad , not better than mine though Wink

by GSC Mon 08 Oct 2012, 2:15 pm

I always end up with crappy FBs haha. Never think of any really good ones so I make do.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon 08 Oct 2012, 2:16 pm

Afro Jafro, have any star bids so far been for the same player? In other words is someone missing out?

by **Afro** Mon 08 Oct 2012, 2:17 pm

ZZZ - yes

by ncfc_Tooze Mon 08 Oct 2012, 2:18 pm

Sent my Star Player bid

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon 08 Oct 2012, 2:18 pm

GSC, its hard to get the best fullback available with the tp limit cap as everyone goes in for them. I wouldnt worry too much as good tactics will prove more important.

Got it thanks Tooze Ok!

Jeremy Goss is an interesting choice Shocked

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon 08 Oct 2012, 2:21 pm

ZZZ - yes

Ohhhhh No. someone missing out!

by ncfc_Tooze Mon 08 Oct 2012, 2:22 pm

I know Afro, hopefully he wont be forgotten for his Goal Against Munich and the last goal in front of the standing Kop, if thats remembered all should be ok if not im royaly screwed

by **Afro** Mon 08 Oct 2012, 2:23 pm

There will be more than one round of star player bids, so ultimately everyone will end up with a star player.

by FIFA Diva Mon 08 Oct 2012, 2:24 pm

Afro do you mind being called Afro Jafro?

by GSC Mon 08 Oct 2012, 2:28 pm

Somebody mustve gone for mine

Doesn't bother me. Am I missing some reason why I shouldn't like it?

TEAM NEWS - City U21s v Everton U21s

Marc Tierney, Simon Lappin, David Fox, and Jed Steer are all set to feature for the Canaries against Everton tonight, whilst Thomas Hitzlsperger, Sylvain Distin, Magaye Gueye, Apostolos Vellios, and Jan Mucha are in the Toffee's squad for the fixture.

by **Afro** Mon 08 Oct 2012, 2:39 pm

Distin will be getting some match time to bring him back into the first team. Heitinga was poor on Saturday and was substituted at half time.

Hitlsperger still needs to prove he can get fit enough to earn a contract

No, no I'm just saying you're too nice to tell someone to Frak off. Zidane is the type if you don't get on top of him he thinks he can run you. A bit like a cocky striker you need to put in a strong challenege early to show him you're there.

by FIFA Diva Mon 08 Oct 2012, 2:53 pm

Did anyone else see Hamilton crying on Twitter that Button unfollowed him? When he never followed him in the first place.

by GSC Mon 08 Oct 2012, 2:54 pm

Hamilton's fairly dumb

Cheers Triple Z, I know I'm taking a punt on a team where only 2 from the entire squad play in the Premier League so a number of people may not have ever seen some of my team but I wanted to a have a core of Spanish players, I imagine my squad will very much polarize opinion between those that watch La Liga and those that don't.

Viva, you just stick to having Azzy on top of you, or visa-versa whichever one of you gives it to the other.
Good thing I play centre mid then.

by FIFA Diva Mon 08 Oct 2012, 3:11 pm

Don't you hate it when someone texts you and you text them back a few hours later because you didn't see or forgot. An when you reply to them they purposely takes ages to get back to you.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon 08 Oct 2012, 3:12 pm

Hero, I like your squad. Montoya came on last night so people will now know him. As you said, those who watch La Liga will know.

I did feel for Montoya last night.

"Martin, you're on, but we are breaking you in slowly. Right, now go and mark Ronaldo"

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon 08 Oct 2012, 3:15 pm

"Martin, you're on, but we are breaking you in slowly. Right, now go and mark Ronaldo"

haha, yeah talk about deep end. He came close with his effort too, was a cracking first time shot!

*This is a test, 3rd & final time*

by **Afro** Mon 08 Oct 2012, 3:16 pm

He did well I thought and that was a cracking shot.

If he had scored the winner, Hero's squad value would have doubled overnight

You got a point Mr Zebra.

by Marky Mon 08 Oct 2012, 3:21 pm

I expected Barca to play Muniesa at CB, considering the three CB's playing ahead of him at the moment are Alex Song, Mascherano and Adriano, it suggests he wont be playing there at all. Especially when Pique and Puyol return.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon 08 Oct 2012, 3:23 pm

hummm, it didnt work

Mr Zebra you do know that men can be friends with each other and they don't have to have a sexual relationship, I guess all the male mates you have bummed you till you bled no more? You play centre mid? Laugh

get out of here me, Azzy and his ex WBA playing brother would kick your foreign asses you tika taking oopma luumpas.

by **Hero** Mon 08 Oct 2012, 3:25 pm

I'm hoping Bartra gets some game time given the defensive crisis.

Calm it down a bit Ok!

He seems to be in the same boat as Muniesa, if they would prefer Mascherano, Song and Adriano there (and Busquets last season too)

What Afro Says please

I do know indeed. Viva is fine. We are on a level and understand each other.
