Who's the player everyone is least surprised didn't get bid on in the first round of bidding?

The only thing is, I'm not the only one bidding for him, so naturally the price would potentially go up albeit quite a bit less than Thiago still.

I'm surprised Griezzman didn't get bought.

Kicking myself that I didn't go for Eriksen, thought he'd be highly bid on

Marky PM you Wh*re

I wanted Griezmann but couldn't justify the cost, very much wanted a Griezmann and Martial partnership but I'm pretty happy with the options of Dybala, Martial and Iheanacho up front.

Griezzman is an excellent young player, if we get Simeone i would love for Griezzman to follow.

France are going to have a really good squad at France 2016 by the looks of things, I think they could win it, albeit a lot of younger players.

Yeah France squad looks insane

Midfield options - Pogba, Matuidi, Kante, Schneiderlin, Cabaye

Not bad !

And that's before you get to the quality of Payet,Valbuena,Gonalons,Kondogbia,Fekir & Matuidi

Don't forget Varane at the heart of the defence

But the best two players are Martial and Evra.

Forgot about Kondogbia, was thinking just of the CMs

Even more insane!

I'd certainly have France up there for the Euros, 2nd faves behind Germany.

England will win the Euros.

In response to Nandos PM, seeing as Bundesliga TM prices have changed I would say if they've gone up that's Trebs' problem as he's taken 3 days to bid for 12 players but will leave it up to the masses.

Woop Sane up to 13.5m

Ouch!

I don't mind giving him the old values if you can be bothered to go back and double check them Marky

Dahoud was a big rise for me going from 2 - 6m, also small rises for Coman and Tah

Can i start again as 2 of 3 are Bundesliga and now i can't afford the lot You do realize Azzy will inevitably complain

Depends if Trebs is signing players from Germany but CBA to make everyone check theirs again.

Like I said up to the masses/majority.

One of mine has decreased actually but again not fussed.

Just keep them the same for everyone I say (ie. No changing bids now, use old prices)

Screw TM

Would be fine except still need Trebs to bid.

I don't mind ether way, I think we should try and get it going as soon as possible, let Trebs do his bids on old prices.

I'd disagree on letting Trebs get players on old prices, if I was Trebs I'd just be looking for players that would net me the best price increase.

Then we need to alter everyone's bids for Bundesliga players (giving them the chance to change their minds if necessary) to make it fair like we did for 1st round bids for Premier League players.

Will have a look later. In the meantime Trebs just needs to use current prices for his bids and only Bundesliga players will be affected.

Ban him from Bundesliga

Imagine the other leagues will be following suit over the coming weeks, happy to have bought the uberkids now

Oh didn't realise we did it for prem players before - ok do the same again

All bids for Round 2 should be equal to or higher than the TM value at the time bids close - anyone affected by the Bundesliga re-rates should re-bid accordingly.

Seems the fairest way. Will go through the bids tonight or tomorrow.

Yeah id just force Trebs to use the current prices

Just sent through a set of rebids based on the updated Bundesliga values Marky

I had to rebid because i wouldn't of been able to afford all the people i previously bid for (frak you TM)

I don't agree with it.

If we aren't allowed to re-bid i want Mahrez at 8m

Well blame Trebs when it gets round to voting this time and don't default win him

This is no offence to Trebs because i know people are busy so take the time you need of course but i do just want to get this started as soon as we can and we are close to doing so, i want it to be fair for everyone though.

If that means we have to rebid for players then fair enough.

Marky has chosen - he's running the league - do what he says

Are you talking to me?

Holymiky wrote:Are you talking to me?

No Mr De Niro

Did Trebs get his picks in?

He didn't, but I need to check everyone's for Bundesliga players anyway.

Now I know why Viva was against changing bids haha.

He needs to lower one and raise two, although won't have any budget issues if my maths is correct.

Just Trebs' bids and Viva to recalculate and we're on track. As long as no other league's prices change before Trebs submits his bids...

It will 100% be done today. I'm sorry for the delay but with my girlfriend being up for the weekend and attending a memorial yesterday i haven't had any chance to sit and work out what to do.

It's ok bro, take the time you need.

I'm listening to old Footy podcast episodes.

I've done mine.

Miky shall we discuss our bids via PM?

If you like mate, pm me.
