It's got to be entirely up to Trebs to be completely fair

So if I fail with tactics, Viva gropes Sodhat's Dad?

Seems a lot in it for Viva and Sodhat's Dad, not so much for me

 He gropes who he wants, HE GROPES WHO HE WAAANTS
VivaPaulScholes he gropes who he wants

You'd be sent a video of the groping. So depending on which way the wind blows in your field, you may get something out of that.

Everyone have a good weekend?

I got so hammered on cocktails on Saturday night I ended up throwing up alone in a bush.

Right, I've had a look back through a load of old pages and had a few PMs' so thanks for the responses.

What I can suss out is:

Sodhat is respected, but is good with the jokes and probably doesn't really want to get involved.
Treble is a good manager, but there is an insinuation that he won the league last time a bit unfairly and undeservedly (apologies if this is wide of the mark). But he is experienced and knows these games.
Afro seems to be very highly regarded and "the best manager about bar none". He seems very successful too
Marky seems to have a really good reputation too and I like the Southampton. But I don't remember him offering help, so not sure why someone mentioned him?

So, I am going to use help from....all of you, if that is okay.

I will get my team bid in to Gregers(?) in a bit

I always need advice

I would be interested in seeing your insights into all of us

I'm not sure Neri wants to be making enemies so soon though Gregers.

Sounds a dangerous game.

I just looked at your last team. You look like you buy a lot of unknown players who have been linked with a move to a big club. Not saying anymore than that though

 
Bianconeri, whats your assesment on me? (this will be interesting)

Fixed

Oh FC WHU, full of of relative unknows

Deportivo la Chorizo, now that is where it was. Buying Mangala, Zouma, Lambert...

I can't really make a judgement on you from what I read. I don't think you took part much recently?

Your team looked good though. I'm a big fan of Ibrahimovic. Not as good for Juve as the Milan teams, but still a cool player

Who's left to get a team in?

By the way I'm against Afro picking a side that isn't in the league and is just to stop all players being available.

  I get away lightly then.
I was a permenant part of the previous league mate.

All the practice seems to be paying off

Holymiky and his soon to be team would like to officially announce the signing of ex Lille manager Onlytreblewinners.

Trebs as he is known will be giving his opinions on signings, tactics etc and helping the lesser experienced manager, Holymiky to climb up the Fantasy Managerial ladder.

You know what I don't get, all this stuff about people saying United always played with width so they have to keep playing with width.

The wingers are horrible. Change the formation, use the creativity you have in the middle.

I could do lawyers/injuries

The problem is United strengths are all in 1 area. CM has been dire for years. The defense has gotten too old. The wingers are pretty pants. United won a poor PL last season

If Man U signed Mangala, Luke Shaw, one of the Bender brothers, and maybe Shaqiri they would be strengthened greatly long term.

How would signing Viva or ZZZ help long term?

And they are all realistic signings.

Hyk hyk

Vidal would be perfect for Utd

Shaw's gonna replace Cole at Chelski

Shaws off Chelsea I imagine.

Mangala likely to be out bidded by City.

Such is the problem no CL presents.

Kinda suspect RVP will do his best to force a move. Went to United to win stuff and was promised by SAF he wasn't retiring

Afternoon one and all, back in the seat now returned from Austria, new league has been created, what do I need to know?

Spot on. Change the system, adapt, grow & develop. Moyes aint dont none of that. Just the same old press conferance every week of "saying the right thing" but no change.
As I said earlier, after 20 mins you could see Fulham we're confertable dealing with crosses but Moyes didnt give any instrustions to adjust the gameplan. Same at half time. That is simple poor.
I think (if memory serves me right) didnt Mourinho once see his team getting nowhere & at half time used all three subs, changed the gameplan & went on to win the game.

The attack should pick itself: RVP up top with Kagawa, Rooney, Mata behind. Them three can interchange positions, wide & narrow play & offer options as to how we go forward.
Instead of just hitting cross after cross hoping to win them with players who arent great in the air.

OR Moyes should go buy Carroll & Crouch........

They'll need to shrink the pitch size at OT to play a more central through the middle game next season.

Puts a lot of stress on the FBs tho

I dont think that trio really works anyway tbh. All want to be central really

Can someone get me upto speed on what's occuring btw? Am I still needed for the league? If so wheres it upto and what do I need to do?

GSC wrote:Puts a lot of stress on the FBs tho

we defo dont need that, they already put enough stress on themselves.

Yeah, I'd get new ones. I'd get a new back four. And I stop playing Smalling.

125m limit for a team.hero, no PL, La Liga or Bundesliga teams

So everyone is going for Ajax as usual then?

Hero wrote:Afternoon one and all, back in the seat now returned from Austria, new league has been created, what do I need to know?

Cheers Hero. Me & Gregers will start making some pages in there. Will need you to make some pages sticky, sure youve done that plenty of times
Will most likley be a homepage & then League 1 & 2 pages. That way people can find teams, thier injuries etc quicker.

Yep no probs Z3, bang em up and I'll get sticking.

When's the team needed by? Got a shortlist but may need to weigh up the pros and cons of each this afternoon when I have a spare min.

As long as I'm Lars Bender I don't mind. 

I chose Marseille I wish I didn't know, can anyone tell me if they also went for Marseille.

Vidal would be the best signing but there is no chance he'll join especially if we can't get 4th in the league.

Based on Moyes' history, you'll get 4th but lose the CL qualifier

unfortunate viva, marseilles were gonna be my 2nd option if i lose my first bid

I didn't have a proper look at teams just decided on them.

are we gonna have the star player bids before the rest of the cattle market?

Is there a minimum value that I have to bid?

Minimum value is £50m.

Though you can bid for teams valued under 50m, just you have to bid at least 50m

OK. Thanks both. My bid is in then

Really hope I get them
