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

Not sure whether its a good or bad thing nobody wants my players Laugh

I suppose with all squads completed it's time for the usual poll for whom has the best squad

by nadeem2099 Tue Oct 09, 2012 1:41 pm

Wasabi Lee says I have the best squad.

It's more that there's a 0.0000000000000000000000001% chance of you selling Jordi Alba.

I don't think Ruddy understood the joke...

Also true

Apparently anyone telling a joke in Norwich is called a witch and burned at the stake.

I had the exact same joke in my head. The real reason why Terry was not selected

by Bull Tue Oct 09, 2012 1:56 pm

so do people like my team?

by Gregers Tue Oct 09, 2012 2:02 pm

As well as best team how about Best GK, LB, RB, CB, DCM, CM, CAM, LW, RW, SS, CF...

by GSC Tue Oct 09, 2012 2:06 pm

I spent 21m on a LB

*Shakes fist angrily*

by Gregers Tue Oct 09, 2012 2:08 pm

Oh and Best Bargain would be an interesting one

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue Oct 09, 2012 2:08 pm

Afternoon!

I am well chuffed with my squad, think it is pretty decent. Especially my midfield which I am having wet dreams over

by **Hero** Tue Oct 09, 2012 2:12 pm

You'll be shaking your fist more angrily if you don't win best LB Laugh

by Bull Tue Oct 09, 2012 2:13 pm

who has the best defense then?

by **Hero** Tue Oct 09, 2012 2:13 pm

Rules are now up.

Please do take a few minutes to have a look through them as there are some changes.

by FIFA Diva Tue Oct 09, 2012 2:14 pm

Are we allowed to do deals now?

by Fernando Tue Oct 09, 2012 2:15 pm

i dont see why not and i dont like the new injury rule Sad

Fernando wrote: i dont like the new injury rule

Elaborate. I'm saying whether I am a fan or not, but interested to know reasons.

I think the philosophy behind it is to encourage domestics

Alba's good but he's no Jetro Willems Whistle

by Bull Tue Oct 09, 2012 2:19 pm

so if we have 1 injury for week 4 he cant play till week 4 right?

I prefer the 2 a week rule

It's not going to encourage anything due to a lack of money because we won't be able to trade our injured players out cos no one will want them

by **Afro** Tue Oct 09, 2012 2:21 pm

I think it's a fair comment Nando.

I think the injury rule is one that warrants a bit of discussion as it is so significantly different.

Personally I think 4 weeks is too long in a 10 week season.

by sodhat Tue Oct 09, 2012 2:21 pm

Injured players heal on trades

by Marky Tue Oct 09, 2012 2:24 pm

I think 2 injuries per week is fine. No need to change that one.

by FIFA Diva Tue Oct 09, 2012 2:24 pm

It's like we're playing a RPG. Can we have fire breathing dragons that protect our stadium while we're not there.

I like the long injuries, it's part of real life Football playings being injured for long periods of time.

by **Afro** Tue Oct 09, 2012 2:27 pm

But that won't stimulate domestics Viva, it will inhibit it.

I still think 4 players and 4 weeks is too many. How about the same approach, but with 3 players and 3 weeks, or 2 player and 2 weeks.

by FIFA Diva Tue Oct 09, 2012 2:31 pm

I think I'm leaning towards the two players injured per week. Firstly it'll be easier to track down, less headache on us to keep updating out pages, it's more fair. Manager A loses Messi for 4 weeks and manager F loses Bramble for 1 week. At least with the two injuries a week it evens it self up at the end of the season.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue Oct 09, 2012 2:32 pm

I personally think there was nothing up with injuries and it dient need to be changed at all. It worked so why change it

I'm off to play footie now laters

by **Afro** Tue Oct 09, 2012 2:32 pm

If it is going to the vote, then I would vote for the simplicity of the old season Ok!

by **Hero** Tue Oct 09, 2012 2:35 pm

I did it so that it pushes managers to mix up their squad every 4 weeks, in the other leagues I've seen it in it does cause a flurry of swaps going on and it makes the injuries a BIG thing each month. I would suggest to everyone to at least give it a try.

by Marky Tue Oct 09, 2012 2:39 pm

It's still £2m isn't it?

Not yet. There has to be a notice before TP open so everyone is prepared, I don't want this 11:59pm stuff where most of us have gone to sleep and managers are hovering over the send button.

haha, do managers do that? Who stays up till 11:50pm and hovers over the send button??

by **Afro** Tue Oct 09, 2012 3:11 pm

My campaign to change it to 12pm on Monday was dismissed Sad

by sodhat Tue Oct 09, 2012 3:13 pm

I back that campaign still Afro

By the way on an unrelated note, I have 200 "Change it to PM!" shirts to shift on the cheap

by **Hero** Tue Oct 09, 2012 3:13 pm

About half the managers I reckon

by **Afro** Tue Oct 09, 2012 3:15 pm

I'm still curious to know the proportion who are regularly on at 12pm versus those regularly on at 12am.

by TwisT Tue Oct 09, 2012 3:17 pm

I am never on at 12am. Work and all that, even on a weekend.

No one making offers on my page = all my players are crap obviously
