What's it doing up there? We know you wanted a sh*tt*r team, but that is going too far

He must be telling the truth as it's not on the forum anywhere...

Miky! Don't sit down!

Ah, Viva changed the title of the thread the second I posted that

He edited his team but kept it as the same title.

What's up where?! This is news to me.

What I've taken from today is that Miky has such a loose arrishole that he couldn't even feel Viva sliding his teamsheet up there. Quite the image.

After a FB and looking to freshen up my midfield. Anybody up for a deal?

Stop picking on miky! If you need any backup let me know miky I'll sort em out for you.

Hero wrote:Isco's too good for back up.
I'd prefer

--Isco---Kroos---Martinez--
Sanchez---Ronaldo---Bale

Not far off, but Martinez the DM and Isco and Kroos more advanced.


Or Tevez upfront and Ronaldo wide.

Ronaldo scored another hat trick yesterday. I think it was his 7th of the season. He's been playing more central this season and it is working better than out wide.

Enigma I'm always keen for deals.

Thanks Nadz but it's okay.

I'm up for deals as well.

I'm happy to go ahead with the TP idea Afro but one question I do have is, is there not a concern that it could cause a bit of friction if people are outbid etc?

Also has anyone got any top strikers available?

Benzema but wanting a 2 for 2 deal ideally.

Does no-one interest you from Arsenal then mate? In a 2 for 2.

If people are going to get upset about a bit of competition, they shouldn't be playing.

You could add a bit of subjectivity to it - for example, you could get Man City bidding £25m for De Gea and Real only offering £18m. The subjectivity would be that United would be unlikely to sell to City and De Gea would prefer Real, so therefore the Real offer is accepted. However that really could cause friction so not a route I would go down.

The only real question mark I have at the moment is if managers were to bid right at the last minute. You could either make it like eBay and say tough, the highest bid at the close of the window wins, even if it was posted 1 minute before. Or you could say that the window is automatically extended for that player for another 1/2/6 hours after the last bid.

I think all managers have got to declare themselves 'out' if we are doing bidding wars.

So if I bid £50m for Rooney
Viva bids £60m
Azzy bids £70m

Me and Viva have both got to confirm we are no longer interested in Rooney on the page.

You better decide quickly if we're using this bidding method or the plain old one. i suggest a poll.

Gotze/Ozil interest me

I like the bidding method, done it before and it was extended by 8 hours when a new bid came in. I would add the caveat though of a minimum percent increase and it's binding if you win to stop others forcing bids up just to make others run out of cash.

2 all so far in the poll. It's gonna be a close one.

Okay, so the proposal would be:

Bids are made on a TP page. The highest bidder at the close of the window gets the player. With the following caveats:

• The minimum bid is the players value on TM
  
• The window is extended by 8 hours when a new bid comes in (only extended for that player)
  
• A new bid must be at least 5% higher than the existing highest bid, with a minimum increase of £100k
  
• You can only bid up to the value of your available transfer budget at the time of your bid.
  
• A bid is binding. If you win, you must take that player.
  
• If you are the current highest bidder on a player, the value of your bid is deducted from your available budget towards other players, until you are outbid.
  

Trebs - I am not really clear on the reasoning for needing to declare yourself out? As far as I see it, if you are outbid, you are out until you bid more. Let me know why so I could add it to the list if needed

And you are happy to be in charge of that Afro?

I would imagine itd work better if you ran a 9-5 window for bids, with an hour to run between those times for successful bids. Can bid outside that window but time only ticks down in the window

Holymiky wrote:And you are happy to be in charge of that Afro?

Yes. As long as there is no opinion needed i.e. it is purely the highest bidder, within the rules, wins.

I should add that it is entirely down to you guys. If you want to do it, then I am happy to run it, but happy either way.

GSC wrote:I would imagine itd work better if you ran a 9-5 window for bids, with an hour to run between those times for successful bids. Can bid outside that window but time only ticks down in the window

Not too sure what you mean by the hour to run in between? Can you give an example

The 8 hours becomes 1 hour but time only ticks down between 9am-5pm.

Id be more annoyed missing on a player between 12am and 8am than during working hours

Also means there's some pace to it.

So for the transfer window of weeks 1/2, each day becomes a mini-window within a window?

You could then set the mini window to close at say midday each day, and an extension of 1 hour from the last bid where needed

Its up to you guys to work it out, personally id just keep bidding within working hours in fairness to all.

I'm a bit more with you.....

So set the window closing at 9am, and then any extension that is needed starts from there. Might need to be more than 1 hour potentially, could be two hours in the morning, and reduce to 1 hour in the afternoon.

And is we get to 5pm, the clock stops and starts again at 9am the next day.

And when I say each day, I mean apart from weekends.

I aint logging on at weekends just to do TPs

Aye.

Id also say you can bid outside the window but the 1 hour period starts at 9am regardless.

I'm with you

Needs to be more than 1 hour...

I agree. Nando doesn't get up until midday for starters

Im fine with that now you've outlined it My main concern was people being outbid over a short period so a cheeky last minute bid and people not being able to re-bid cos of work.

Those illegally parked cars wont issue their own tickets

GSC wrote:Those illegally parked cars wont issue their own tickets

I don't do that anymore due to my eyesight issue "Apparently it was dangerous and they didn't want me suing them for being hit by a car" I wouldn't be running this otherwise

That sucks

How about the discussion with GSC, which builds on it a bit.

Effectively, each week day becomes a mini window, for the duration of the larger transfer window.

GSC wrote:That sucks

I know. I was getting free parking in Buckinghamshire. All you needed to do was park just out of eye sight range of the wonky eyed warden sat on the wall, and it was free.

The ironic thing about this is i spent 70% of my time sat on the wall

When is the first TP window meant to start Nando?

Assuming everyone is happy, I might need to pull my finger out

Of miky?

It was due to start today

Fernando wrote:It was due to start today

Tomorrow then?

GSC - I was just trying to get Viva's team sheet out. Miky was complaining of paper cuts

Sure why not Ive only got 5m anyway so will be fairly quiet id expect til Azzy does Lawyers. Also remember it's 3 a week guys. so you get 6 players over a window which is what youd expect really over the summer/winter unless your QPR
