The Lotion League Locker Room

First topic message reminder :

i sent them on tuesday

I didn't get em!

I just sent them again - Wasn't much to write anyway I assume we're not playing this week due to Xmas?

I think that's safest tbh

Results up, Nadz & Trebs receive the 2m bonus (Nadz sent them in on time but only included a team sheet), Miky and Bam were late sorry.

The reason I didn't write tactics was because I forgot to buy a keeper. I don't think I could have got anything out of the game even of I wrote tactics as I had bloody Matt Phillips in goal

Shows how much we all look at keepers!

The CF fiasco still makes me lol

Which one of you paid him to sabotage Nads like that?

The thing I'm most gutted about is CF releasing a player who was in that top 100 youngsters in the world list that hero posted. Jonathan Leko was his name, and he will never play for my club again

Yeah when I posted that list I immediately looked through your team list to see if you had him, and then laughed at what happened.

I think I should win the Manager of The Season so far. After hiring the worst assistant in all of sports gaming, I sent him out like 2 months ago to scout some players for our club. He still has not returned and is presumed to be arrested and roomies with Adam Johnson in prison, enjoying life.

I think that makes you least likely to win MotS rather than most likely.

shoe in for most improved tho

I forgot to finish what I was writing

After the incarceration of his protégé cf. Nadz knew he had to rebuild from the ground up. He had to use his connections in the shady world of football and bring in some big names to appease the hungry West Brom fans who have been craving success since a young Azzy Mahmood was still in his diapers. His first signing was the dog-faced gremlin Pepe, fresh of his great performance in the Euros where he single handedly won the title for Portugal. "I have arrived" shouted Pepe in broken English to the adoring WBA fans. To be continued.

I wonder if Azzy is an official author yet.

Are we playing the games this week and next? I can stick teams in as am at work anyway next week, but won't bother if others can't

Who out of Sarr, Orban or Caldara do I pick to partner Rugani?

What about Tah or Sule? Are they taken already?

Both at the mighty Baggies

They're so last league Hero purchases.

top noncery

anyone want modeste 12 goals in 14 games

My defenders have came up against him many a time on fifa. The guy is a straight up killer. I hate him.

After Pepe had settled in and cleaned out the local area which had been getting full of yobs and gypsies, nadz felt he needed a bit of steel in the centre of midfield. There was a tale of a young lad from Germany who had been touted as the "next Pirlo" who would fit perfectly in his team called Julian Weigl. But nadz knew he had to be fast. There were a lot of clubs after him. The one who showed the most interest was by his former manager, Hero Guardiola. But Julian did not want to go there again. He felt suffocated there, surrounded by all these "kids" and whatnot. He wanted more freedom. He wanted to join a club where HE was the centre of attention. And when all hope looked to be dwindling, like a small shining star in a vast universe, there was Nadz reaching out to him and giving him new life and a chance for him to repent for his sin of working under the dictatorship of Hero. "Thank you, Mein Fuhrer" exclaimed Julian to General Nadolf in a stern German accent. To be continued.

Well that escalated quickly

On the subject of CB's, who do you guys think is the best up and coming one at the moment?

Lindelof or Van Dijk

Presnel Kimpembe id have thought.

Lindelof is being massively overhyped.

For me it's Gimenez and Laporte, and comfortably so, for me.

And if it's less established names we are after, then I agree with Nando.

Im not 100% there on Gimenez i think he's very good but alot better with Godin beside him but drops when Savic or Lucas is.

Where do you guys consider someone like Varane to be then?

I'm a big fan.

Also Jeison Murillo. He's probably not classed as up and coming anymore, but I like him a lot.

Holymiky wrote:Where do you guys consider someone like Varane to be then?

I don't consider him up and coming anymore tbh.

He is a top class player but I don't quite put him in the class of the top 5s we were listing before.

I was kind of wondering if anyone would mention him then realised that he is established and has been for a while considering he is at Madrid.

It'll be

Tah
Laporte
Kimpembe
Gimenez
Rugani
Murillo


Outside shots

Bailly & Zouma if stay injury free
Ginter if nails down a position
Lindehof if gets a move to a decent side (not United)

He's been around ages really now since displaced Pepe from the side. It's why i left Marquinhos out too, PSG are going to have a good defence in future if Aurier/Kurzawa get their sh*t together.

Can't argue with any of that.

Plenty of other choices too.

Christensen
Sule
Sanchez
Umtiti
Stones

of the more off the radar ones...

Jorge Mere
Mauricio Lemos
Issa Diop

I realise that not all players can stay at the same club, especially being loaned out a lot but I really hope we keep hold of players such as Christensen as he could be golden for us in helping replace Terry. Although I don't really think a player of his quality and experience is replaceable.

I realise I may be bias but I stick by my words.

Following on from Miky's best up and coming CB...

Best up and coming full/wing backs?

Meunier and Marcos Alonso for me

Valencia and Rose

Cancelo
Bellerin
Hysaj
Klostermann
Semedo

Grimaldo
Rafa Soares
Arana
Guerreiro

Left backs
Luke Shaw
Jordan Amavi
Federico Mattiello

Right backs
Mitchell Weiser
Aritz Elustondo

Grimaldo and Guerriero I agree with definitely.

But I think mine are better, not as young as some but have got moves to big clubs and have done really well

But how well would Marcos Alonso do in a back four playing left back? His defending ain't all that tbh.

I would argue that Alonso is already an established player due to him being around for a while now.

Bellerin and sergi roberto for known RWBs. Klostermann and writer for the lesser known quantities.

Left hand side, Grimaldo and Guerriero and for the less well known name I would go for Balenziaga.

Bernardeschi also spent all of last season as a very good WB

I think for these kind of things you need managers to only pick players who aren't in their squad otherwise it becomes a PR exercise!
