Maybe an update or something? I don't know seems fine now.

by nadeem2099 Thu 11 Feb 2016, 4:34 pm

We're getting hacked by the lizard squad. Quick everyone change your passwords!

I thought it was just when I closed my eyes I saw that circle

GSC I'm a big fan of your twitter page mate

by GSC Thu 11 Feb 2016, 4:44 pm

I try

by **Hero** Thu 11 Feb 2016, 9:37 pm

I hope Viva's team is mindblowingly amazing for the build up its getting.

by nadeem2099 Thu 11 Feb 2016, 9:45 pm

I bet you he signs more Arsenal/Liverpool players than man united ones.

by **Hero** Thu 11 Feb 2016, 9:47 pm

Which Liverpool players currently would anyone genuinely buy? Can't really think of any for the price they are.

by nadeem2099 Thu 11 Feb 2016, 9:56 pm

I was gonna go for Milner if he was about 5-6mill tbh. But Charlie Austin was the one I was most suprised about. 9.75mill Shocked

by Fernando Thu 11 Feb 2016, 9:58 pm

he'll buy Mignolet

by nadeem2099 Thu 11 Feb 2016, 10:03 pm

Or he might kill 2 birds with 1 stone and buy Kolo Toure Laugh

by Fernando Thu 11 Feb 2016, 10:07 pm

Can always buy Srktel or Sahko.

by nadeem2099 Thu 11 Feb 2016, 10:10 pm

Emre Can is a decent player tbh. Good little utility player.

by **Hero** Thu 11 Feb 2016, 10:15 pm

He's okay but there's far better for how much he costs.

by **Hero** Thu 11 Feb 2016, 10:16 pm

There's probably 3 or 4 Utd players though that are worth a punt on.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 11 Feb 2016, 10:54 pm

This is retro viva - building it all up for a 20m bid on Mathieu flamini

by Fernando Thu 11 Feb 2016, 11:01 pm

He'll try pull he's an investor in Flamini's company and therefore deserves extra cash Laugh

#FlaminiSavingTheWorld1ShittyCountryAtATime

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

Then blow the rest of his cash on Ricardo Montolivo.

by Holymiky Thu 11 Feb 2016, 11:25 pm

Am i right in saying that Viva doesn't like Jack Wilshere?

by nadeem2099 Thu 11 Feb 2016, 11:30 pm

It's a love/hate kind of relationship miky that all started with the balloon door.

by Azzy Fri 12 Feb 2016, 12:12 am

Wilshere and Cleverley are both at the England meetup. What is Roy playing at?

by FIFA Diva Fri 12 Feb 2016, 12:22 am

I've sent my draft

I don't like or dislike him. I wanted him to do well for the sake of England and to inspire the next batch of English players to play with technique. It's clear to see Wilshere is a flop who lacks the fight or even professional behaviour, he has been taken over by every Arsenal player while he is stuck in 2011 living of the game against Barca.

by Marky Fri 12 Feb 2016, 4:04 am

I've received Viva's draft, should be in the office for 8am so will crack on then. Only up at this ungodly hour due to my son being ill...

by Holymiky Fri 12 Feb 2016, 8:32 am

I hope he feels better Marky.

He's fine, just got a bad cold which means he can't sleep through the night.

by Holymiky Fri 12 Feb 2016, 9:21 am

Marky,

If we bid for a player and lose out, can we bid for more players as well (within budget) or do we have to stick to just that one?

by Marky Fri 12 Feb 2016, 9:26 am

If you've lost out on 1, you can only bid for 1 in the 2nd draft. If you've lost out on 10, you can bid for up to 10 in the 2nd draft.

by Holymiky Fri 12 Feb 2016, 9:36 am

Ok cool thanks.

by GSC Fri 12 Feb 2016, 9:39 am

I thought 20 players was minimum? Therefore you can bid for as many as you like?

by Marky Fri 12 Feb 2016, 9:40 am

Read back GSC.

by Marky Fri 12 Feb 2016, 9:41 am

Remember, any further drafts you're only allowed to bid for the same number of players you were outbid on, so ensure your first draft has enough players to complete your squad (between 20 and 25 players)

It's just because some people in the past have only done half their draft and saved their money to see who's left, which is a bit naughty.

by GSC Fri 12 Feb 2016, 9:45 am

Oh I see.

Its kinda pointless to do that though really. You end up securing a bunch of 2nd rate players at best.

That's part of the challenge of getting a good squad out of the draft, although to be fair there's plenty of options.

by Marky Fri 12 Feb 2016, 9:46 am

Everything is done, just need to figure out how to transfer it from spreadsheet to v2.

You've seen my team then?

by Azzy Fri 12 Feb 2016, 9:51 am

Good man Marky for doing all this. I've always said you were handsome, intelligent and a leader amongst men. Now fiddle my Thomas Vermaelen bid so I win him.

There's only 1 16 year old in the squad, though is a 1st teamer!

Couldve sworn I used to just copy/paste when I ran the last league

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 12 Feb 2016, 9:56 am

Mark we appreciate your work

by Trebs Fri 12 Feb 2016, 9:57 am

We could play the game using spreadsheets instead of this site? I play fantasy football at work run through an excel spreadsheet?

So it would just be frequent emails to each other

Yep. It's the format I'm on about, but good effort clap

by Holymiky Fri 12 Feb 2016, 10:04 am

Marky do you know how to make google spreadsheets? If so you could paste it in there, it’s free and we could just click the link and view who got who, we wouldn’t need to download anything either I don’t think.

by Holymiky Fri 12 Feb 2016, 10:10 am

If you want I can make one for you, will need the info though.
