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

I back that campaign too Afro.
Seem more fair as more people will be online.

by **Afro** Tue 09 Oct 2012, 3:19 pm

I was on at once at 12am in order to make a TP, but got bored and went and got a bag of crisps instead.

Came back at 12.02 and all the players that had become available, were gone Laugh

Pity for Mouse as it was him I was doing the TP for.

I am in the bracket of never on at 12am, always on at 12pm

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue 09 Oct 2012, 3:25 pm

I very doubt ill be on at 12am. If there is a player I really really really want then I may just force myself to be on.

Question: who here watches WWF? I heard HHH retired, is this true?
Asking as he was my fav when I used to watch it all those years back

by sodhat Tue 09 Oct 2012, 3:26 pm

Owen Coyle has been quietly sacked today, shame, I liked him. Wasn't working at Bolton for some reason. Hopefully he gets another chance somewhere.

That was the campaign's strapline. It was trademarked and everything. Only Sodhat had official licence to use it on merchandise.

If you like it, we have it plastered on cups and underpants

Form an orderly queue though

Yeah he has and so has The Rock and Undertaker, I think Ric Flair has too, not sure about Hulk Hogan, I heard Shawn Michaels retired. Sad

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue 09 Oct 2012, 3:37 pm

Yeah he has and so has The Rock and Undertaker, I think Ric Flair has too, not sure about Hulk Hogan, I heard Shawn Michaels retired

I knew the Taker, Flair & HBK had. Rock just went to Hollywood, he still comes back for bits tho as he headlined last WM.
Whys HHH retired??

by nadeem2099 Tue 09 Oct 2012, 3:38 pm

Triple H has not officialy retired. The deadman is still alive. Hogan is in TNA now but very rarely fights.

by sodhat Tue 09 Oct 2012, 3:38 pm

HHH hasn't retired fully, but he wrestles less. He's a high ranking official in WWE now.

The Rock will be back in November/December through to next March or so. Undertaker hasn't retired yet, but he only wrestles once a year at WrestleMania these days.

Shawn Michaels has gone. Hogan is at TNA.

HHH isn't retired will fight Lesnar on return he "broke" his arm
Hogan runs TNA

I bet somewhere in the world he is elbow dropping his cream sports jacket.

How old is Hulk Hogan these days Shocked

And any chance of Ultimate Warrior returning?

by FIFA Diva Tue 09 Oct 2012, 3:41 pm

Hows our Telegraph league doing? Where am I?

by sodhat Tue 09 Oct 2012, 3:42 pm

Hogan is like 58

Warrior made too many enemies to come back now. Hogan hates him, so TNA is out, and he and WWE hate each other so that's not likely.

They'd work together for money though.

Does the second question there relate to the first, or are you just lost and confused?

No they really hate him thumbsup

It's not a storyline like

Explain further. Someone told me after Lesnar beat him he came out on Raw and retired. Hasnt been seen since.

Genuine animosity between all concerned. Warrior wasn't really a popular guy in wrestling circles, and he burnt a lot of bridges. As I say though, if there is money to be made, they'd make it if it suited them.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue 09 Oct 2012, 3:47 pm

It's not a storyline like CM Punk decking a fan yesterday

Yeah haha. I though Punk was a face not heel?
His music has to be the best around at the moment, its that Living Colour tune yeah?

by **Afro** Tue 09 Oct 2012, 3:47 pm

I loved Ultimate Warrior. And Hacksaw Jim Duggan. And the Bushwackers.

by FIFA Diva Tue 09 Oct 2012, 3:47 pm

How is Randy Orton doing? I like him.

He's turned heel and aligned himself with Paul Heyman and yeah it is them

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue 09 Oct 2012, 3:53 pm

How is Randy Orton doing? I like him.

I heard he got suspended for drug test of something.

Good old Heyman, I remember when ECW came to Raw back in the early days, Manhaten Centre times! Those were the days

by Trebs Tue 09 Oct 2012, 4:07 pm

Can I make a foreign signing?

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue 09 Oct 2012, 4:11 pm

What's that link Zidane? It say only admins can see that link.

by **Hero** Tue 09 Oct 2012, 4:37 pm

Trebs, worked out why all those times you said you'd sent me votes etc and I never got them.
You sent them to the ADMIN account rather than me.

Just played some brilliant matches with nick on fifa. The last match we played was our ultimate teams playing each other. I was winning 4-2 and with 20mins to go he wins 5-4.

Zebra-dford massive must be gutted about that...

by **Afro** Tue 09 Oct 2012, 8:52 pm

very good

by **Hero** Tue 09 Oct 2012, 11:12 pm

Oh my sweet word I've just beaten Azzy on Fifa. I have no idea how that happened.

by GSC Tue 09 Oct 2012, 11:13 pm

FIFA's changed quite a bit recently, its much different to the FIFA 2003 Azzy's used to.

Your Ultimate Team is a cracking team. My goalscorer was Leon Osman Whistle

And the 81st minute penalty you 'won' was the softest penalty I've ever seen on FIFA. I thought I'd won a free-kick Rolling Eyes

Good game though, it's a challenge using Matthew Etherington to mark both Sagna AND Sanchez...

by **Hero** Tue 09 Oct 2012, 11:17 pm

Your keeper absolutely bulldozed Huntelaar at one point though, that should have been a straight red!

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Wed 10 Oct 2012, 8:50 am

Hello all.

FIFA online is just a goal fest

by sodhat Wed 10 Oct 2012, 9:04 am

I played the new Fifa the other day, and I still prefer 12. It just plays better in my opinion, it feels more real.

by sodhat Wed 10 Oct 2012, 9:12 am

I picked up Madden 13 last night as well

You have it don't you GSC? What do you think of it?

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Wed 10 Oct 2012, 9:13 am

Nah I prefer 13. 12 is too defense focused. 13 you can be more creative attacking....well it depend who you play.
I cant defend to save my life at times.

by sodhat Wed 10 Oct 2012, 9:21 am

12 was defensive, yeah, but the gameplay was better to me. I'm crap at the defending on it to be fair, and it's pretty irritating when you move a defender and he just gets out of the way to let the striker score.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Wed 10 Oct 2012, 9:33 am

and it's pretty irritating when you move a defender and he just gets out of the way to let the striker score.

Thats irritating yes but you know whats more irritating?
When you hold the trigger and pass, the player whos released the ball makes a forward run...but NOOO because the they person your playing is a FILTHY Busquets and slides in taking your player out, no free kick and your players run has been stopped. When they repeat this for every time you make a pass it becomes ridiculous.....mentioning no names!!
Viva should know who I mean and the Filthy Busquets knows who he is lol Wink

It's a big step up, Ea got canned for their recent efforts but 13 looks the best in years
