Fernando wrote: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

And that answers my last question.

Subject to the vote swinging back in favour of No, I'll get it all set-up tonight and the window will open 9am tomorrow.

How does this look? Anything I've missed?

How they work

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

• The main window in open for weeks 1-2 and weeks 6-7. This means the window is open between 9am Tuesday 19th May to 9am on Monday 1st June; and 9am Monday 22nd June to 9am Monday 6th July.
  
  
• Within each window, each week day represents a mini window, which runs 9am to 9am the following weekday. Weekends are excluded from this (i.e. Fridays window starts at 9am Friday and ends 9am on Monday)
  
  
• You can sign a maximum of 3 players per TP week.
  
  
• At the close of each days mini window (9am), there is then a 2 hour extension for
  continued bidding on the players that have been bid on in that window. After each new bid, that 2 hours begins again. The extension will continue until no new bid has been placed for 2 hours.
  
  
• If any bidding extension gets to 5pm, the clock stops and then restarts at 9am the following weekday.
  
  
• The minimum bid is the players value on TM
  
  
• 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.
  
  
• Your bid must be clear, showing the players name, club and amount bid.
  

Is there a limit on how many bids per player or is it just free reign?

That all sounds great Afro.

I have no idea what you just said.

Paraphrasing

2 windows to sign players not in the league (Week 1 and 6)

Foreign Signings are done via bidding

After a bid, other managers have 2 hours to up the previous bid.

This 2 hour period can only run out between 9am -5pm weekdays.

Yep. Just mine goes into detail to try to avoid loopholes/misinterpretation/arguments.

As many bids as you want Miky, as long as it is within the rules (i.e. within time, 5% higher than the last bid and within your budget)

Okay cool mate, cheers.

As long as all managers are happy with the 9-5 window.

how do you work out the 5% thing. EG somenes bidded 12.75mill for a player how much do you bid then?

Nadz have you heard of such a device known as a calculator?

what formula do you use to do it?

The percentage one

idk hero tell me how to do it please.

12.75 + 5%=

Thanks hero. Maths is not my strong point. You saved me from over bidding on foreigns. I am forever in your debt.

I'm sure Hero will be happy with a payment of Griezzman

Just divide the current bid by 20 and add that onto it

cheers for that method gsc. I hate the % sign. It is too complicated for my brain and gives me the shivers.

Hey Nadz how about I sell Pogba to you. All you've got to do is give me £1 on the first day, £2 on the second, £4 on the third day and keep doubling like that for a max of 2 months.

Enq

I may be stupid, but i'm not THAT stupid. All i have to pay is £120. I am sooooo clever.

I think I might well include the minimum next bid next to each player on the TP page.

Based on Nadz calculator skills, might help to avoid mathematical bidding problems

Well by the end of the 1st month you'd have paid me nearly 2 billion.

Fabregas sent off for kicking a ball at an opponent's head from 35 yards. Fantastic refereeing decision. Great aim mind.

Haha Nadeem you've just been owned by Alan Carr.

you don't have to do that afro. If we can't do basic math problems then there's no hope for humanity is there.

Also hero that is an advanced math problem. I was only wrong by a couple of decimal places. I am still clevererer than cf though.

By the end of the 2nd month you'd owe me more money than there is in the entire world.

It's easy enough to add to my spreadsheet, so I'll do it anyway

Question to the Cricket fans, is KP head and shoulders above any English batsmen?

A few years ago yeah. He really wasn't in the latter stages of his England career

Root is better, but only him.

Hold fire everyone, we've borne witness tonight to something as rare as a blue moon, a four leaf clover and finding a horse sized duck.

Viva has done a inter team deal.

And one in which he came off worse!

What do you mean I've come off worse? I think it's a fair deal.

As a neutral viva, I can in fact say that nando robbed you. You know that old woman walking alone with her crane and shopping bag. That's you. And nando is the chav (I mean that in a good way) who robs her and she's there lying on the floor in her own blood.

If it was a straight swap of players it'd have been equal, the cash turned it to Nando's favour.
Boateng's been one of the best CBs in Europe for the past twelve months, people though will remember him at City and him being owned by Messi.
Muller suffers from the 'where do we fit him' position. It's hard to translate his Raumdeuter role.

I knew where i was going to play him tbf Was going to have him LW instead of scarface couldn't resist Reus

Im literally building a squad id want to see play then anything else

When a player of Mullers quality is available you pick the team around him.

The question you should be asking yourself viva is would you rather have a Muller rice and a Hummer or a Rolls Reus and a Boat?

I'd have Muller all day, he is in my second favourite non United Xi.

After who?

That's my favourite none United Xi of all time.

Del Piero instead of Totti for me.

My world 11 with players from my lifetime.

Unbiased and some players may be out of position,

See i think viva robbed fernando to be honest

You rate Cleveley and Bebe thus your view is invalid.

Let's just rejoice for a moment. Viva finally made a deal and the world hasn't ended. But I agree with hero. The cashola swung the deal nando's way.

It's all kicking off in here lads.

Viva you got mugged off mate. Even without the cash that was a bad deal.

Cleverley is a top player, he's criminally under-rated. He can both keep the ball and create something going forward. Wilshere, Henderson can't. Bebe had something there, but it hasn't happened for the lad.

Boateng and Muller are two gains in my eyes, and when I'm on results I will reflect that.

Cleverly helped Villa survive relegation and got to them to the fa cup final while Wilshere smoked flavoured e cigs.

Even if I got Ronaldo, Messi and 2 million pounds in real life Azzy would still say it's a crap deal.

Morning all.
