Viva:

Disagree. Mahrez.

Mahrez went from 8 something to 15, and Marky said he's only just gone above his new value with 3x the money

I think we should auto pick Trebs a star player. Random number generator, 1-100. Use TM's top 100 list. Trebs gets that player at 1.5 times his TM value.

I think he's got until the end of today as he may be busy with real life and we need to give him a chance!

Anyway if we're picking for him for being late he gets to bid for Berbatov at £30m

Yes because that worked out so well last time

Maybe we could give him Bebe for £8m instead?

He usually goes for Cleverley so just give him to him.

Didn't Trebs say he can only get on at lunchtimes and some evenings, I remember from the last league.

The annoying thing is he posted at midnight and didn't send a bid for his one player.

We all got Trebs-rolled. He's following the thread, working out who we've all bid for, and he's going to cane us in the bidding. He's a dirty Manc-loving devil-hearted scallywag.

Actually Trebs just Facebooked me his bid, only problem is Nando needs to confirm whether or not he's raising his bid for his player!

Ive changed my bid

Feel slightly better about it tbh

Marky – Robert Lewandowski £52.5m (Remaining budget £97.5m)
Azzy – Harry Kane £24m (Remaining budget £126m)
BamBam – Paul Pogba £45m (Remaining budget £105m)
Holymiky – Marco Verratti £32m (Remaining budget £118m)
Nando – Dimitri Payet £13.5m (Remaining budget £136.5m)
Hero – Harry Kane £20.1m Needs new bid (Remaining budget £150m)
Viva – Jamie Vardy £12.5m (Remaining budget £137.5m)
Nadeem – Sergio Aguero £50m (Remaining budget £100m)
Olly – Sergio Aguero £45m Needs new bid (Remaining budget £150m)
Trebs – Sergio Aguero £46.1m Needs new bid (Remaining budget £150m)

Hero, Olly and Trebs need to rebid.

Hey Hero, we do think alike after all

Verratti <3

For the record, everyone sending in their squad bids need to bid for a minimum of 19 players for the first round, none of this "waiting to see who's left" nonsense!

Suck on them apples olly and trebs. I got the bestest striker in the universe!

I think Marky got one of the best transfers, that's who my first thought was lol.

I nearly went for the far cheaper Zlatan, surprised nobody else did.

Damn you to hell nadz

I was about to go for Vardy for his price, but went for the bestest striker in the universe,  Sergio "Leonel Kun" Aguero.

Olly you can still go for the next Drogba, Mbokani!

For the squad bids, do we have to bid a minimum of their TM value?

Marky, BamBam and Nadz all have great players, but they've hamstrung themselves on the rest of their squads. Someone like Nando or Viva are favourites already for the title.

I feel better about my chances if can get the forward i want

Yeah, think I've just realised that

Ah well, having the mighty Pog has to count for something

Maybe, but then there's plenty of bargains to be had so not necessarily.

When are squads due in?

Also i was going to go for Ibra but in 3 months he'll be in the MLS.

Marky I've sent you my squad bids

As soon as, but not before Hero, Trebs and Olly have made a new star player bid

BamBam wrote:Marky I've sent you my squad bids

Yet to open it but will once I've sent you mine. Also if Olly, Trebs or Hero sign one of your players you might want to edit your PM

Oh yeah, forgot about that! I'd be shocked lol

When is the deadline for bids? Do they have to be in order of preference or is it just best bid wins the player?

As soon as possible Marky said.

Highest bid wins I believe and we keep going til we fill the squad, that's what I think is the case anyway.

Asap is fine, but i want a drop dead date. And time.

You need to aim to complete your squad, if you do not bid for enough players in draft 1 you won't get to take part in draft 2. Draft 2 will be to bid for the same number of players you were outbid on in draft 1.

Yes Azzy high bid wins.

Also not sure on a fixed date as it depends on everyone's circumstances

Star player bid sent

Appears I need to buy a new mic - nando you know any good ones?

That's the 1st thing to come up in Amazon.

My draft is in & it's going to be a beautiful day if i get more then 8   Extra money helped to put a few extra mill on players id expect to go.

I've just put my 2nd star player bid in, fully expecting to miss out on him as well!

Just buy Mahrez or Martial  and be done with it

I'll do my draft tomorrow evening once the star player is confirmed

I've sent my squad bids ready.

Will do my squad bids tomorrow.

Morning, how are you all?

It's 9am and I'm already seriously annoyed with someone at work - it's off to a good start!

Morning all,

Feel so ill and have had a rough couple of days at work, just waiting for the weekend already.

I've sent in my star player bid, after finding out martial has gone up in price and i have to pay more for him

Thanks Trebs, I guess we will be good for another round now when Marky is able to check the bids.

Then onto squad bids

Hope you feel better Trebs.
