The Lotion League Locker Room

First topic message reminder :

Bale out for up to 4 months Oh well tis the price you pay for being the second best player in the world (number 1 is CR7 before you lot say it's the midget munchkin messi)

Hysaj is a really good shout for RWB too.

Other "unknowns"...
Henrichs
Tete
Passlack
Brenet
Karsdorp

Stafylidis
Ruben Duarte

How about we rephrase...

Pick a back four plus keeper from players not in your own squad.

They can be in the league or not and must be aged 21 or under...

Mine is....

Donnarumma
Bellerin---Gimenez---Sule---Gaya

Mine is

------Donnarumma------
Bellerin--- Romagnoli----Giménez-------Shaw

I like the look of Romagnoli. Very much in the mould of Nesta

Is that just because hes at Milan?

Nesta was one of my fav defenders back in the days. The world needs an heir to his greatness.

Just played trebs on fifa. I swear we keep trading wins back and forth for ever

Hope everyone has a good xmas and new year.

Merry Christmas all

Merry Christmas folks xx

What do you guys think of Joao Cancelo?

Decent but not sure how much he'll play when he moves.

And his value on TM is already high.

You might be better looking at his rumoured replacement at Valencia...

I'm tempted at his price.

Morning all

Will there be any lawyers this week?

I'll get some done now, sorry days all go to pot on Christmas week.

Were we meant to have sent tactics in for week 9?

There's usually an Xmas break

We are breaking Bam, was deemed the best option considering not everyone would be around etc.

Cool, was just wondering as we've got new lawyers

Trebs has done my lawyer as Naby Keita.
Firstly does anyone particularly rate him? And secondly does anyone want him?
Hin or Kessie to partner Kimmich?

I'd be interested in Keita

Feel free to make an offer x

This is quite interesting: http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37975118

Price increases in Serie a today

My three Atalanta buys have made me 16m profit

I was surprised Kessie didn't go up more.

I got £14.5m profit from 4 of mine and Barzagli and Buffon didn't go down.

That's if we get offers for them of course!

That's the difference though with this set up, take a 5% hit and so what, still getting over 6m for a player I bought for 700k.

I don't like taking the hit

I stubbornly sit there and wait for the +5% offer!

I'm not sure what I'll do if I get an offer for Bernardeschi. Think he is still worth a lot more than the Tm value but should take the profit really

The small increase on Kessie means I'll probably keep him for the time being as he's bang on form and looks well thought of in the league but I'll probably cash in on the other two.

Similar with Belotti really. 3rd or 4th most goals across the top 5 European leagues in 2016.

Remember that some players have gone down in value too. There's two on there who I think are worth the money now

Good point Trebs. I'll have to have a scan through.

Are we restarting fixtures this week?

I think we should play this week - get injuries and lawyers sorted today if possible (if not I'll draw tomorrow)

Can't remember if anyone has any Ukrainian based players, but a revaluation done in that league too.

Yarmolenko value brought down...

So is it just me and afro wanting games this week?

I'll do injuries and lawyers at lunchtime if we are playing

I can put a team in this week, not sure what game week we are on

Cheers Trebs, still off work so only on mobile at mo, though at least mine has Internet access

Im happy to play this week if get injuries up today cos have to do tactics tomorrow otherwise ill be at work

I think it's week 9 so looks to be me, Bam, Odnan and Nad who would need to do tactics

Just doing the injuries and lawyers now.
Any chance of someone doing my lawyer please?

Tammy Abraham

Anyone interested in any of these for lawyers - 5% value i.e.

Sam Vokes - £3.2m
Jeff Hendrick, Tom Huddlestone or Patrick Bamford - all £4m

I'll match what you paid for Huddlestone?

No ta.

I'd rather just be more patient, wait an extra week and sell as a -5% lawyer, than sell for less.

I think Jones is a good signing Trebs.

He is showing that with a run of games and being played in the right position, he is still a really good player. Fingers crossed for United he can stay fit.

Cheers Afro. I'm pretty happy with my defense - hopefully it can win me a game.

Iheanacho is an interesting signing, could be a top one. Only time will tell I guess

Thanks. He fits in with my current stategy of younger players who can go up in value. Is definitely a better prospect for that than Bamford. I would have sold Vokes and kept Bamford for longer, but wouldn't have had enough for Iheanacho.

He won't be my main striker anyway. That is Belotti for now, or the Belotti replacement I have in mind should I decide to accept the lawyers offer.

Fairs i like Kelechi not sure he'll go up in value much maybe £12m at best for now.

Got bored on Fifa make a sh*tfest team of African & Asian players - Surprisingly annoying

---------Enyeama
Aurier -- Matip -- Bailly -- Rahman
Mahrez - Kouyate -- Wanyama -- HM Son
----------Slimani ---Iheanacho

It's hard to find decent players that aren't expensive like Aubameyang & Yaya
