Hi guys,

i wont be on early in all likelyhood, the earliest i will be on would be around midday to half 12

Yes

2 per week I believe.

Should open TP bidding now on the page and hold an auction. Highest bid by Tuesday wins.

you can negotiate but cant confirm anything till Monday I thing Nando

Thanks Nando.

Apologies, just one more question, the max squad limit is 30 right?

think so

Holymiky wrote:Apologies, just one more question, the max squad limit is 30 right?

Yes

Thanks guys, i appreciate it.

Who likes Bastille?

me

And I.

i still have around £50-£60m to spend

can we now trim our squads and put the new players in?

Yeah.

Was going to sign Xavi if Fan was desperate for Alonso

Get your squad up cf, mine will go up this evening

Max 30 players


So Xavi is not in the league... that must be a first for these leagues?

Good luck spending that

Morning.

I believe I have 40.9m

175m-66m (team) - 68.1m (players)

Morning,

Fan, liking the signing of Lorenzo Insigne. One of my favourite talents around at the minute along with Jese & Adnan.

Damn, I overpaid on my SP bid. Ah well.

I was splitting hairs between him and Alonso. Alonso was a better fit made the difference in the end. Xavi was going to be the next bid

Gregers do we release the players we dont want for no cash, or do we just literally take them off the sheet and thats it..?

Afro we can buy players off each other and also foreigns..

You have to release excess players before you can do deals I think. For no cash value. I'm at 33 currently

Just don't add them to your squad and announce as released (will put up a page later), max of 30 so you'll need to sell to buy

You have a ton of cash CF but with 2 tps max and a £5million limit it will be domestically you will get people

You can have Klose for £20 million if you want...

I know.

Like I said, good luck spending that.

The TP limit is £5m, so you aren't going to spend £60m very easily there. And having the TP limit so low will limit domestics as no one will be interested in cash deals.

For me the limit now needs to be above the draft limit, so that there is sa much stronger need to have cash to spend.

10m for players outside the top 3 leagues

5m for players in them?

Don't worry Afro I'm sure Viva (aka the Wolf of Fantasy Football Management) has an abundance of sub-standard players CF can overpay for...

Dirk Kuyt=25m?

I hate to be so negative, but I can see real trouble with transfers in this league with the planned TP limit.

From a quick scan through, I can see the following remaining budgets

CF  50-60m
GSC 40.9m
Nando 18.5
Marky 43.7m
Bianco 36m
Viva ?
Gregers ?
Tranq 2.8m
Holymiky 24.9
Zwag 0m
Hero 5m
Fan 26m

so who is going to be interested in cash? Not the ones with loads obviously.

And those with a little, won't sell the players that will be sought after, as they can only replace through TPs with ones £5m or below.

You are then relying only on swap deals, so the cash becomes meaningless.

I would strongly recommend, from past experience, reconsidering what you set the TP limit at

il do my squad list now then

With what remains from the SP bid I'll have 11.5m Afro

I see Afro's point, but there's plenty of quality players available and I have plenty of targets to spend the cash on.

Maybe a suggestion is to raise the TP limit by £1m each week instead of £500k?

I think the problem is we started with too much cash. We should have had a total budget of £100m or something, that included star players, everything.

I won't be happy if the TM limit is raised, because we went for Lallana when we had the cash to splash out big on someone and could have got Lallana in the first week of TPs.

IMO, the starting TP limit should be £10m. But the top three leagues should remain 'locked' until next season.

Right just been through my squad, and i will be starting with a squad of 23. Will post it now.

I think Trebs is right there. 175m in total was more than slightly OTT.

100m on teams and further 25m for players would've worked better imo

Too late now, no point changing the rules dramatically.

My team page is up, does that mean i can start doing domestics?

THis is always the problem, changing the rules after people have selected teams/players based on the original basis


And I agree that it was probably too much cash to start with. If you are starting with a £5m TP limit, you need to set draft limits accordingly. Or if you start with masses of cash, you need a higher starting point.

Not trying to be a doom merchant. I want to try and help make sure the league is a success as at some point I'm bond to be tempted back

I think I would do one of two things:

a) set the TP limit as £10m and keep the 3 big leagues locked as Trebs suggested

or

b) set the TP limit as £5m, but open the big leagues


I guess option C is a combination of the two, with a £5m limit for the big leagues and a £10m limit for the rest

I like how people are only saying too much cash now, not when the voting page was up or anything...

The other way is to say that the maximum cash you can carry forward is £20 million...

I signed up last minute

Maximum cash doesn't work at all imo

It's purely hindsight Gregers. It's the most common asset in these leagues, you'll learn that running a league.

Do what you think is best. You won't keep everyone happy, that I can guarantee, so the best you can do is whatever keeps transfers active as that is what will keep the majority most satisfied.

I think keeping the big three leagues locked is for the better and I'd actually like to then see a gradual release of the clubs from those leagues, the bottom ones first, then the mid table, then the decent ones.
(await the quips about in which section Utd would be)

We can make enquiries, but cannot confirm any transfers until the league opens on Monday.

Leave it as it is I say, if it fails then let it fail, but it may work out fine yet, too early to judge it.

Gregers, admin, discussion.

Anyone every sold a mobile to fonehub.co.uk ???
CEX said they would give £101 for my old Nexus so i dropped it in, they did their usual checks, went in yday after work & they offered me £45. Said wear & tear & the battery was crap. I nearly slapped the guy, theres not a scratch or dent on it & the battery last 1 day just like most other smartphones (apart from my G2, that last 2 days).
fonehub.co.uk are offering £65 but ive never used them before.

I would suggest a quantifiable method of selection, like bottom 5 based on TM value, then the next 5 and so on
