No problem.

Who is the best defender

Pepe or Javier Mascherano?

At CB Pepe is better, but obviously Mascherano can play CB very well and is a world class DM.

Pepes a better CB but Masch a far better player

I agree with both of the above, Mascherano is overall better but suffers from being good in numerous roles and that Barca are gash defending and have Busquets in the midfield break up role. As a straight CB Pepe is superior.

Busquets is the Spanish Robbie Savage, with 1/10th of the ability. He's atrocious.

I'm ever so glad the league is full. I hail you nadeem.

Busquests is class.

Busquets is an embarrassment. Offers nothing going forward, is poor in the tackle, if Claude Makelele was still alive he'd eat him for breakfast. He's the weak link in that Barca team and has been for years. I hate him. Waste of a 1st XI place.

He is fantastic on the ball and is always positive and is more than capable of keeping possession and picking out a pass. His tackling isn't the best but is still a very good standard. Makelele is also still alive? He manages Bastia.

To be fair to Nadz, doesn't he get the chance to accept the lawyers I neglected?

I have £21m to spend on a striker, if anyone is selling one please let me know I've got a couple in mind from TPs so if I can't get one here I'll go there.

Calhanoglu can leave for a PX involving a decent RB

I could sell Adriano if the price is right?

Who is better Geovanni dos Santos or Hakhan Calhanoglu?

I meant alive in terms of still playing. If he was still playing, even now, he'd be 5x better than Busquets.

Busquets has a limited range of passing - with the very occasional good day (hello Darren Fletcher), he plays tiki-taka because he has no greater ability than that, he's weaker in the tackle than a eunuch, and he has truly awful hair. He's the most over-priced player on TM.

Busquests is a really good player, I'm not the only one to think that.

Soggy biscuit has never had many fans here tbh.

I could never appreciate such a Limp Busquet. He's so lightweight he makes Posh Spice look like a sumo wrestler.

Still buying a striker lads.

Congrats Miky, let us know how you get on xx

Miky come and make an offer at Paok we've got players that may interest you.

How's the tooth Azzy?

All fine now love, thanks for asking. Had root canal done, half of it without pain relief. An absolute killer hour in the chair. I won't hide the fact I cried, I'll wear those tears like battle scars.

When we finally reboot the league can we get rid of the ruddy 2 per week rule, it does my nut in.

No. That has to stay to prolong the league. Otherwise transfers dry up quicker.

You're in the leagues in Ja, they don't have that rule and suffer as a result.

Hero wrote:You're in the leagues in Ja, they don't have that rule and suffer as a result.

Thus proving my point

What two week rule is this? I've made five inter-league deals this calendar year. That's one per week. If we all did that, no-one would ever complain about that rule. Seems I'm just exceptional.

Unless I'm mistaken it's about only being able to make two TP's per week.

I mean they've been going 8+ seasons and still are fine on transfers without having a limit on transfers.

Good to hear but why without pain relief for half of it? There's no shame in crying.

That's because they have unlimited money basically. In our leagues we start small with money, meaning there's only a certain pool of quality players, if someone is allowed to buy them all up it ruins it a little.

That's because if you look at LSTD's league that has lasted 8 seasons, its a realistic league whereas this one isn't. CL players can only sign for CL teams, EL players can only sign for EL teams etc. I wouldn't mind a realistic league, it puts a lot more impetus on your tactics then, not how you build your squad. I would much prefer a realistic premier league with so many teams in rather than an unrealistic league.

Your kidding me, we have to reset the teams!! I'm working so hard to build this team and it's going to get flattened in one season!!

Also, there is no shame in starting a realistic league with smaller budgets either. Realistic leagues take a lot more thought process with transfers and are much bigger when using tactics.

Any league in which the transfers are decided by someone is awful. It just breeds resentment.

Tactics have now been added to the original post on the Week 4 results page.

Nando's tactics are banterific.

Hero wrote:Any league in which the transfers are decided by someone is awful. It just breeds resentment.

Yes, it does. I can't argue against that and its something I didn't like in LSTD's league. It was only from his opinion. However, if you categorised the league into: CL, EL, Top half, (Mid table), Bottom half, Relegation/Promotion. That's when there shouldn't be a problem. However, you still needs someone's approval so it still doesn't solve the original problem that was there. But this is a very close knit league and bunch of members, I'd have thought people would be honest enough. Maybe, just maybe, you could have 3 people from the league nominated to approve your transfers? A potential idea?

Like trying to suggest Falcao would join Spurs eh Hero He probably will now he's flopped at United...

If the money is on the table Falcao would join the club whoever it is. He's one of those players that would join the UAE league if they put the cash out for him.

Probably will now he can't do it in England, Id be surprised if anyone went near with a barge pole tbh

I told you all about Falcao years ago...! Flat track bully

Bet you've been waiting years for him to dip

Well he only peaked for a couple of years, so can't have been that long.

It was when he was back at Porto, think the first of his two good years there.

Wasn't that when Hulk was looking a worldie too?

I'm hoping we are as active tonight as we were last night.

So, in this league, do you reset the teams every season?

Ey up, Basel are winning

And Ian Beale killed Lucy Beale as well....
