Anyone want to loan Kroos/Pedro for their cup match? haha

No, but I do offer Afellay + X for Kroos

No, but I do offer Afellay + X for Kroos

no deal

I have a new song:

"I wanted to bring back El Dios, but the league said "

We don't actually have any vacancies to fill as such though, so I don't know the score. Plus I think Bull said he was interested in coming back before El Dios declared an interest, so he should get first refusal.

If there are managers that no longer wish to be a part of the league, I guess now is a good time to split, what with one gameweek left for the majority.

I think we need to be a bit hard on some like Tooze.

He wants to take part, but over this game and the last one, has been increasingly unable to take part.

I reckon it is for legitimate reasons, but we do need to try and get managers who will submit tactics and votes week in, week out

but the league said cactus cactus cactus ???

Rafael is a big boi transfer coup by me don't you think?

As i said before somebody can take my team

Was tempted to release Pogrebnyak the other day for £2m, held onto him and a £5m lawyers offer comes in

Bayern My Erch v Spanish Bank FC

If Fan spent as much time writing more tactics and less highlighting what he thinks players strengths are, he would have won by more. He had enough to get the single goal, although the Spanish Bank defence is strong and were hard to break down.
Bayern set up well to beat Bank who in my opinion could do with a couple of higher quality players and could potentially look to cash in on alba go improve their midfield to get in a genuine playmaker. Bayern aren't perfect but Hummels would keep Saviola quiet , with Alba not roaming as well there is less of a threat on the left.
Bayern weren't prepared for two strikers upfront and lack a bit of bite in midfield leaving Benteke a little isolated. Sahin isn't an AM. I'm not sure about Arteta on the left and I think Alba should be used as an attacking left back. Mistakes from both teams and overall I think a draw is a fair result.


Moleicester v Atalanta Falcons

I couldn't separate them, two very top quality sides.
Match of the week as far as I'm concerned. Mole city had the attack setup to hurt the slow Falcons however I'm not sure due Sciglio can be considered a week left back. On the other hand the Falcons were open for Fernandinho to pull the strings. I can't separate the two teams but I am sure there will be goals, lots of them.
Maybe a shock on paper however Moleicester City have set themselves up well to win the midfield battle and Scholes had opportunites to pass the ball. El Shaarawy and Reus were both dealt with well, who shouldn't be playing as wingers for me. The Falcons very attacking approach late on caused them to be hit on the break with the pacey players of Moleicester City.


FC No Respek v Pass the Deutschie

Another close game, but I think Debuchy and Cole were perfect for the formation, and that Pass the Deutschie playing one forward, with Holtby supporting played into the 3 at the back formation
A game with very little between the two sides with the game won by a stunning cross from Lens to Ba. These two sides setup to combat each other,the 3-5-2 from Respek being deployed well to nullify Sterling and Barnetta whereas the use of Holtby off of Huntelaar kept Parker busy and let Ledesma get in on the play.
Thrilling game here with two sets of players fired up for it. Deutschie had two on one situations all the time and dominated in the wide areas but Huntelaar isn't the kind of striker to get on the end of headers but he did well with low balls coming in. Demba Ba was also a threat and for me Rami should have been the man-marker if this sort of system was used.



Deportivo My Sharona v FC Murder of Zidane's Floor

Two matching formations, which I thought Zidanes carrie off a little bit better and whose players were slightly better suited
A high scoring game which sees the Spanish fake 9 being deployed to good effect and I must commend Marky for deploying it although I fear it was out of not having a genuine number 9! Zidane for me would initially have the best of the game as their midfield is far better than the Sharona one, Kroos and VDV inparticular enjoying it. 2-0 at half time to the visitors. However I can see sharona getting used to the system in the second half and a sensational display from Costa gets them out of jail.
Both teams were set up very similarly but Zidane went for an attack minded midfield trio try to give his side initiative but they should sacrafice one of the three to provide stability and take the shackles off the other two. The power of Zidane's defense helped them to overcome the threats coming from midfield, they could even think about pushing M'Bia into midfield.

Well, there are two vacancies there by the looks of it, so Bull and El Dios are welcome to take teams if they can/want to.

Not to speak for Tooze though, if he is still wanting to take part and he has the time to, he's the man in possession.

I think if Tooze can say that he will make tactics every week, and vote every week, then he should keep it.

But if he can't, then it just generates default losses and skews the games. Rather than worrying about points deductions for not submitting, we should be trying to have managers who definately will submit/vote, except in exceptional circumstances

Who wants some cliched horse jokes now?

Meat is Red Rum.
"Hamburgers" is an anagram of "Shergar Bum"

I had a burger earlier and I thought I was losing my voice when I got some stuck in my throat.
Turned out though it was a little hoarse.

Love it.

Hey all.

I think we should wait till the end of the season now and go through everyone making changes for season two.

Out of general interest how many games tactics has tooze posted this season because I sweatr very week his opponent wins by default

Thank you for the feedback guys I have to disagree with the last comment on my tactics were the person said Huntelaar is not the type of striker to get onto the end of headers. He scored 49 goals last season 12 of the goals were scored by his head thats almost 25% or a quarter of his goals. He is known to be good in the air and strong.

pushing M'Bia into midfield.

Arry has done it and eventually I will utilize him there when I get a good CB.

I dont get how i drew when all my feedback was positives.

A draw is a positive result!

alright, sorry about me not being on, internet down at home and been off

A draw is a positive result!

Err, doesnt seem it when ive been told my players were better suited to the formation, midfield better, defence power and so on.
Anyway, its good to have positives tho, preparing for next season already ha ha

Clichy gone for £16m
Lukaku and Digne in for £18.2m

Happy days

FIFA DOMINATION!!!!!!!

Not hard when you can hack your way through the game.

Does Carl Jenkinson now count as English since he has a cap now?

Provisionally I'd say yes. But if he now plays for Finland instead, you'll have to reverse that.

Cherries, are you hacking?

Jenkinson was born in Harlow!
Am I missing something? Like a different nation parent?

hey guys sorry for in activity over past week or so, have had bad computer problems im hoping they are resolved now

Cherries hacks xbox live and Bill Gates is personally applying the banhammer to this cheating fraud

Someone gave me a mod for a game I don't hack and I'm a FIFA god GOML

Cherries id bang you hard on fifa.

Ok can anyone explain why Huntelaar is not good enough to head the ball?

Beats me. I'm not a huge fan, but heading is one of his strengths, given good delivery

Totes agree love, he's pretty good in the air!

He's no Holty in the air but he ain't shabby

The Dreamliner isn't as good in the air as Grant 'who cares if there's horse in it just give me another burger' Holt

Your right. He's a little thinner, and can head the ball better

Pep the new Bayern Munich manager from this summer.

Holt is so fat, when he jumps in the air to head the ball he gets stuck (that was just a yo' mama joke, without the mama).

Citeh are stuck with Mancini for another year then

You just enjoy watching Carlton Cole and Maraoune Chamakh struggle to put one foot in front of the other

GOML ??? Is this another stupid YOLO thing?

The Pep/Bayern thing real?

Thank you Afro and Azzy.

Marky - just sent you a PM. May be something you need to act on ahead of the cup

gotta suck to be the Bayern manager now he's walking the league and he's getting booted at the end of the season....

Anyone else think that Pep is rather overrated considering Villanova has taken over their still the same if not better?

At least they can see their own feet, unlike Mr Holt.

How many goals do you think Cole has scored in his 199 league appearances at West Ham? I'm not sure whether to say it's a crap record or better than expected. Or both.
