Star player bid submitted.

Got yours Marky, and sent mine

Sent mine also.

Not sure if I'm going to regret changing my bid at the last minute or not but both players would be a win win for me.

bid in

5 bids in including mine, currently no clashes.

i assume this comes out of the 150m budget?

Yes it does. 6 bids in now.

I imagine mine will clash.

I suspect probably with me knowing you

Actually you'd be the person I'd expect to be least clashing with on the one I went for!

Can i change mine still? Or is it too late?

Hero wrote:Actually you'd be the person I'd expect to be least clashing with on the one I went for!

I went Random so there's a good chance

Actually never mind I'm sticking.

Did you pick JT Miky?

No changing now Miky, just wait and see as there's no limits once the main draft starts, just giving everyone an option to get one player in they really like.

That's fine and no, are you Hero?

I doubt Hero wants a past it football he's more U19

Mine isn't really random if don't get him no biggie got a back up.

My bet for you is Ozil.

I think I know who Hero has gone for.

Hero wrote:My bet for you is Ozil.

Not even close

Who you reckon Miky?

Martial

I reckon I shouldn't play this game

Also Hero caused a clash, so, yeah.

Pogba?

I'm not giving anything away in terms of numbers and players, once all 10 are in those who didn't get their man get another turn.

Pogba was too much, Martial was my 2nd choice.

When do we send Marky the rest of our squads?

I'll get my star player in some time today, very busy at the moment.

Once the star player bids are concluded, I'm open to the rest of the squad. As with the Star Player I'll send mine to BamBam before I open any PM's

It'd been as quick to have sent in your player as type that message

#NailedIt

luckily its not me clashing

What's the minimum price the star player has to be?

Whatever their Transfermarkt price is.

So if you're going for Zizou he's free.

Due to Hero rushing me I've sent Marky my star player.

Anyone want to discuss star players via pm?

Sent mine aswell. PM me yours viva.

Will do my star player bid tonight marky

Star player sent

Is there a limit on what players we can bring in with the rest of the money?Or can i end up with say three 49m players?

Can do, and then fill the rest with absolute chaff.

Its very easy going Trebs so no restrictions on what you spend your money on. But you do need a minimum of 20 players in your squad.

Did you get all star player bids in Marky?

Just need Trebs' Star Player and we can crack on.

Two clashes so far, so at least two will need to have another turn at their star player.

Making another podcast appearance this evening - on trebs now football league podcast

Morning folks.

How are we all?

Morning Afro, good thanks.

I'm going to predict the most popular player who people go for in the bidding after the star player.

Cameron Borthwick-Jackson

He is genuinely on my list!

Hero wrote:He is genuinely on my list!

That's kinda my point. £0 on TM and starting LB for Man U.

I'm okay thanks Afro, how are you?

I might sign Luis Figo (not really).
