Still waiting on Viva and Trebs. Hero lost out on a couple and also stole a couple more of BamBam's squad Whistle

by FIFA Diva Thu 11 Feb 2016, 8:56 am

I'll get mine in some point today.

by Holymiky Thu 11 Feb 2016, 9:00 am

You da man Viva.

by FIFA Diva Thu 11 Feb 2016, 9:08 am

How many players can I bid for?

by Holymiky Thu 11 Feb 2016, 9:08 am

At least 19

by Marky Thu 11 Feb 2016, 9:11 am

Your squad needs to be between 20 and 25, so not including the star player you've already signed, between 19 and 24.

by FIFA Diva Thu 11 Feb 2016, 9:18 am

Cheers.

I'm fooked Sad

by Holymiky Thu 11 Feb 2016, 9:43 am

BamBam you beautiful man.

by BamBam Thu 11 Feb 2016, 9:49 am

You're making me blush Miky.. what did I do to deserve that ?!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 11 Feb 2016, 9:50 am

Marky am I still losing out on 7?

Bambam is the least beautiful man amongst us - and I'm including Viva in that

by Holymiky Thu 11 Feb 2016, 9:54 am

It's something I do sometimes BamBam.

by nadeem2099 Thu 11 Feb 2016, 10:27 am

Yeah miky is the master manipulator here. He uses his ultra complimenting ability to try and get the other person to sell their best player cheap. Shame on you miky!

by Holymiky Thu 11 Feb 2016, 10:30 am

Ill have you know Nadz, I do very fair deals, I’ve even lost out sometimes just to make deals happen, that’s the type of manager I try to be.

I have got more stern in recent fantasy manager games though and stood my ground a bit more.

by nadeem2099 Thu 11 Feb 2016, 10:36 am

I'm just joking miky, your the fairest manager here (unlike VivaRipOff) I

by Holymiky Thu 11 Feb 2016, 10:37 am

I know you're joking bro

I remember I wouldn't sell Turan to Viva for a long time because the deals were just not good enough and we were both playing hard ball.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 11 Feb 2016, 10:39 am

I refuse to sell Miky anybody until he calls Nando a Kumquat

by nadeem2099 Thu 11 Feb 2016, 10:42 am

It's like that saying "What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" or when two fat sumo wrestlers collide.

by Holymiky Thu 11 Feb 2016, 10:46 am

Bit harsh Nadz, I am on a diet you know...

Stop trying to corrupt miky you Kumquat! Miky will always be the nicest guy on this site and will NEVER drop to your low levels!

Keep up in your diet miky. It's the exact opposite for me. I am underweight and have been seeing the dietitian for the past 2 years to gain weight but I've been stuck on 7 stones for far too long Laugh

by Holymiky Thu 11 Feb 2016, 10:57 am

Thanks Nadz.

by Trebs Thu 11 Feb 2016, 10:57 am

I will get my team done at kunchtime.

Hint: it will include Tom Cleverley.

by Holymiky Thu 11 Feb 2016, 10:57 am

I may have outbid you Trebs Wink

by nadeem2099 Thu 11 Feb 2016, 11:04 am

I think it would have been more better if we did the league rankings based on rl weight. Marky, hero, miky, nando and azzy in the fat man's league and the rest of us in the skinny jeans league.

Not unless you've bid 75.1m you haven't

It's gonna be depressing when I have to end up signing arouna Kone

I resemble that remark.

by BamBam Thu 11 Feb 2016, 11:31 am

I probably belong in fat man league too

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 11 Feb 2016, 11:35 am

Yeah I'm on the verge of being promoted to it

by Trebs Thu 11 Feb 2016, 11:39 am

Resent you surely mean marky?

by Azzy Thu 11 Feb 2016, 11:57 am

I lost 3lbs last week I'll have you know. I'll be a super-heavyweight before the year is out.

by **Hero** Thu 11 Feb 2016, 12:23 pm

Bam, how many do you know you've lost out on now?

by BamBam Thu 11 Feb 2016, 12:24 pm

About 18 by the sounds of it

That's the joke Very Happy

Lost 6 and tied for 3 more.

by Holymiky Thu 11 Feb 2016, 12:45 pm

Have I just lost out on one?

by Marky Thu 11 Feb 2016, 12:47 pm

So far yes.

by Holymiky Thu 11 Feb 2016, 12:52 pm

Ok thanks mate.

by Azzy Thu 11 Feb 2016, 12:57 pm

How many have I lost out on? Anything less than 4 is a good result I reckon.

by **Hero** Thu 11 Feb 2016, 12:59 pm

Miky and I didn't have any matches at all, which is odd as we do tend to like the same players! I intentionally steered away from the usual suspects we both go for and it seems he did as well!

by **Hero** Thu 11 Feb 2016, 1:05 pm

I've not gone for any English players, though I have gone for two Premier League ones (which is higher than I usually do!). The Bundesliga is my main stomping ground with 7 players from there.

Submitted my draft for the lightweight league.

That's not my alcohol tolerance by the way Whistle

by Holymiky Thu 11 Feb 2016, 1:45 pm

Just Viva left then?

I always go full special - wanted to try something different - all PL policy to start off and see where it goes

by Azzy Thu 11 Feb 2016, 1:54 pm

Always a United fan. This time it was three of them keeping us from progressing. Typical United fans, all about them, they deserve longer to submit bids etc.

We have to make a pact to stop these daffodil-loving hooligans from winning these two leagues.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 11 Feb 2016, 1:56 pm

Slow boring methodical approach - just like their boring team

They'll only be interested in raking in profits too once the season starts too

It's the fans I feel for
