I think the more impressive feat was the time travel with the Egyptian values. They were updated on the 14th July 2014 apparantly.

You're not Pharoah the mark there Afro.

Had a chuckle at the BBC report on Suarez's move. The more to follow seems likely!!

5 most disappointing WC players?

Ronaldo (albeit injured)
Cavani
Hazard
Costa (again, albeit injured)
Yaya

by GSC Fri Jul 11, 2014 3:34 pm

Could make a case for Gerrard or Casillas I guess

by The Special Juan Fri Jul 11, 2014 3:34 pm

Hulk.

by GSC Fri Jul 11, 2014 3:34 pm

Didn't really smash it, did he?

Wonder which club Phil Thompson used to play for

by The Special Juan Fri Jul 11, 2014 3:37 pm

No, when he looks at someone like Neymar or Rodriguez he must be green with envy.

by GSC Fri Jul 11, 2014 3:38 pm

Must've been pretty angry the way Brazil capitulated

by The Special Juan Fri Jul 11, 2014 3:43 pm

Their capitulation was incredible.

by FIFA Diva Fri Jul 11, 2014 3:46 pm

Tactics are in to GSC and Oly good luck Miky.

by GSC Fri Jul 11, 2014 3:47 pm

The blue shorts were the issue for me.

Sorry about lack of sheep had a powercut Sad

Shall do results this evening.

by FIFA Diva Fri Jul 11, 2014 4:21 pm

How can you put Rooney in there when everyone was calling him rubbish. Nobody was expecting him to perform. Anyway he was our best player.

It's like the fans who call England Poopie and then are moaning that England can't beat Costa Rica. Make your minds up.

by GSC Fri Jul 11, 2014 4:22 pm

Tactics sent to Olly, good luck Azzy

by sodhat Fri Jul 11, 2014 4:24 pm

Tactics go on Monday, right?

Your mixing disappointment and expectation.

I hoped Rooney would rise to the challenge of the World Cup and as our main star, carry us further than we deserved to go. He didn't manage that, therefore I was also disappointed by Rooney at the World Cup

by GSC Fri Jul 11, 2014 4:26 pm

by sodhat Fri Jul 11, 2014 4:30 pm

I was disappointed with Rooney too. I expected 3, maybe 4 from him this tournament.

But he didn't sleep with any hookers.

I put Rooney in there because the question was 'world cup disappointments'.

For a team ranked c.10th in the world, with the likes of Gerrard, Sturridge and Rooney - a guy with 39 international goals prior to the tournament - England should have progressed further than the group stage.

Because they didn't, I look at their best player - Rooney - and see very little effort, a tap in on the line, and yet another storm in a teacup about him not playing where he wants. Plus, the disgrace of his wife and kids arriving with a plane full of suitcases, clearly distracting him from the task at hand.

He was a huge disappointment. As were the others I listed.

Thanks Viva and good luck to you too mate.

Can anyone give me some advice on how to get some wins in? I have lost 2 games so far and whilst I'm okay with that I do want to improve on it. Any changes?

Make that 3 losses lol.

by GSC Fri Jul 11, 2014 5:15 pm

by Trebs Fri Jul 11, 2014 5:28 pm

Happy to have won that, expected a draw. Cherries you have a very good side, well played.

by **Hero** Fri Jul 11, 2014 5:28 pm

Is this since Giggs became assistant manager?

by **Hero** Fri Jul 11, 2014 5:31 pm

Really happy with the draw being that I took over at the eleventh hour. Onward and upward now.

by Holymiky Fri Jul 11, 2014 5:33 pm

Does anyone have any advice for me regarding my team?

I'm looking to try and bounce back from 3 losses in a row in week 4.

by GSC Fri Jul 11, 2014 5:35 pm

I think the best advice is simply keep turning over personnel. I've accepted every lawyer and used every TP so far.

Yep well played, need to sign a CM so I can play Blind at LB

by Holymiky Fri Jul 11, 2014 6:01 pm

Thanks GSC, I appreciate it.

by **Hero** Fri Jul 11, 2014 7:00 pm

Yeah I didn't want to lose Cassano really but 5.5m for a player that's only going to drop in value had to be accepted.

by **Hero** Fri Jul 11, 2014 7:01 pm

Anyone want to do any transfers btw, Twente is open for custom!

by GSC Fri Jul 11, 2014 7:06 pm

Yeah, if I get Iturbes now 20m lawyer hes outta here.

We all started with very little in terms of rated players, including Iturbe and Toni I now have about 8 players worth something in voting. If you aren't using 2 TPs a week you're behind that mark.

Also the only way to really make money in this is to accept lawyers. 1m a week won't get very far, and with no TP limit, replacements shouldn't be tough to find. Accept the lawyer, invest in a better player who'll be worth a bigger lawyer. The only reason not to accept one is if its criminally undervalued like Flanagan at 880k.

by **Hero** Fri Jul 11, 2014 7:08 pm

Yeah there's the players that are awaiting a rise in value that I wouldn't lawyer, Ryan Gauld being my obvious example.

by GSC Fri Jul 11, 2014 7:10 pm

Yeah, Flanagans in the same boat. General idea to be 'Arry.

by The Special Juan Fri Jul 11, 2014 7:11 pm

I'm really interested in how Gauld will do over the next few seasons. I saw him a couple of times @ Tannadice and Hampden last season. There's definitely a talent there, but how much I'm not sure. He might be the closest thing Scotland have had to Kenny Dalglish since... errr.... Kenny Dalglish.

by GSC Fri Jul 11, 2014 7:12 pm

Speaking of Cassano dropping, hes now 5m as of about a week ago.

by The Special Juan Fri Jul 11, 2014 7:13 pm

Alternatively he could be another James McFadden.

by GSC Fri Jul 11, 2014 7:15 pm

What happened to Hutton. I remember him tearing Italy a new one and thinking he was a real talent.

by **Hero** Fri Jul 11, 2014 7:15 pm

I think he's made a great decision to go to Sporting Lisbon, a wonderful club for a technical player to improve themselves. There's already an English defender at Lisbon so hopefully he'll be used to acclimatise him. I see big things for McMessi.

by GSC Fri Jul 11, 2014 7:17 pm

Anyway everyone can add 1m. Nando can add 1.5m for voting. Tactics into Olly for Monday.

I'll update scorers/table either at the weekend if I get bored or Monday

by GSC Fri Jul 11, 2014 7:17 pm

More like McRVW Wink

by The Special Juan Fri Jul 11, 2014 7:25 pm

GSC wrote:What happened to Hutton. I remember him tearing Italy a new one and thinking he was a real talent.

Dunno. He's alright when he plays for Scotland but just seems to be gash at whichever club he plays for.

by GSC Fri Jul 11, 2014 7:27 pm

He wasn't awful when he played for us tbf. Mind you Jara was and then had a pretty good WC

by The Special Juan Fri Jul 11, 2014 7:31 pm

My final word on Gauld is that I hope more young players go and try to ply their trade abroad. Barry Douglas, a fairly decent FB who played for Utd a couple of seasons ago, left to go and play for Poznan.

by **Hero** Fri Jul 11, 2014 7:32 pm

Oh FFS, the player I was going to buy on Monday has doubled in value.
