No worries. I don't think he is worth paying more than.

Now we are getting to grips with the custom tactics, I think I am better served playing to my current players strengths and getting that to work, rather than pay over the odds for someone else. Certainly cheaper doing it that way!!

by **Afro** Tue 22 May 2018, 4:00 pm

I think it is over the odds.

It's not a case that he is a better FIFA player than his rating. You have got a tactic that works brilliantly for him and the team, but at the end of the day the computer is only going by a set of numbers. There isn't any form in reality.

Therefore, it's justifiable to think I can get the same out of other cheaper players with similar stats if I can also get the tactics right to suit their strengths.

And if I'm not good enough to get the best out of them, then the same will apply to Willian. And therefore the goals and assists for you are meaningless for me.

by **Afro** Tue 22 May 2018, 4:34 pm

Maybe in a few weeks when I haven't managed to get my tactics working for my current players! Laugh

The other thing with Nani is playing both sides. I am close to playing him this week, but even if he is on the bench, its probably only an injury to CF (with Reus moving centrally), LW or RW and he's in

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue 22 May 2018, 5:04 pm

Fekir + Willian = Silva

I am, but not for more than £32m

by **Afro** Thu 24 May 2018, 3:18 pm

No thanks. I want to keep Reus more than I want to buy Willian

I can do an exchange with Nani, Shaqiri or Verdi, but would only want to pay the cash difference between TM value and £32m.

Actually in Verdi's case, I have a lawyer for £19.8m, so I would only pay £12.2m cash

by **Afro** Thu 24 May 2018, 3:57 pm

Nani is worth £6.75m, so it would be £25.25m + him

TBH I'm not 100% in it either, so I think I'll leave it sorry

by nadeem2099 Thu 24 May 2018, 6:07 pm

Cash only.

by nadeem2099 Thu 24 May 2018, 7:39 pm

Lingard + Neres
=
Willian

Is this what you are offering?

by nadeem2099 Thu 24 May 2018, 8:03 pm

Oh ok. Let me know when you've decided

by nadeem2099 Thu 24 May 2018, 10:32 pm

I lose out way too much tm value wise there. And it'd have to be a really really good offer if I were to sell any of my Madrid players tbh.

by nadeem2099 Thu 24 May 2018, 11:01 pm

I'll be honest I would still reject it even if you offered me Willian + Martinez for Asensio. I would want an offer equaling his updated tm value tbh.

by nadeem2099 Fri 25 May 2018, 12:56 pm

Would you do

Asensio + Lingard + Neres
=
Willian + Martinez + Keita

Enq for now.

by nadeem2099 Fri 25 May 2018, 4:04 pm

Asensio + Quaresma + Neres
=
Willian + Skriniar + Cutrone + Promes

Enq

by nadeem2099 Fri 25 May 2018, 4:31 pm

I'm valuing Asensio on his current tm value on the chance we continue with these squads next season.

by nadeem2099 Fri 25 May 2018, 4:44 pm

The best I can do is offer Lingard instead of Neres to close the values a little.

by nadeem2099 Fri 25 May 2018, 5:15 pm

How about sonething doesn't involve Asensio.

Lingard + Neres + Maolida
=
Skriniar + Cutrone

by nadeem2099 Fri 25 May 2018, 8:12 pm

Can do that.

Lingard + Neres + Boateng
=
Skriniar + Cutrone

Confirm if happy.

by nadeem2099 Fri 25 May 2018, 9:10 pm

by **Hero** Sat 26 May 2018, 3:13 pm

Think Neres would struggle to even get on my bench sorry.

by **Hero** Sat 26 May 2018, 3:43 pm

Prefer to use him within a deal for bigger players sorry.

by **Afro** Sat 26 May 2018, 4:04 pm

Reus isn’t really available but I will always listen to offers.

Would take a good offer to convince me though

by **Hero** Sat 26 May 2018, 4:21 pm

Silva, Dembele and Bailey
for
Firmino
Enq

by **Afro** Sat 26 May 2018, 5:06 pm

I have the best part of £40m. My two TP targets come to less than that so I’m not looking for cash.

Therefore I’ll keep hold of Reus.

by **Afro** Sat 26 May 2018, 7:52 pm

I don’t want to sell him so it’s going to take something as astronomic as a straight swap for Firmino or Martinez+Willian

by **Afro** Sat 16 Jun 2018, 10:48 am

No thanks. I have no need for Promes as I have moved away from out and out wingers.

I also don’t want to sell Reus.

Shaqiri is available though

by BamBam Sat 16 Jun 2018, 11:09 am

No thanks, he's worth a lot more to me than his TM value, one of these players whose FIFA value is a lot higher than TM, given how many positions he covers at a strong rating

by BamBam Sat 16 Jun 2018, 2:32 pm

Going to keep Aspas bud, can't go without a backup striker

by BamBam Sat 16 Jun 2018, 4:37 pm

My price would be Promes + £15m

by BamBam Sat 16 Jun 2018, 4:47 pm

No worries, as I say I see him as a crucial player so would only have traded him if I can improve significantly elsewhere

by Fernando Mon 18 Jun 2018, 11:31 pm

Probably a decent replacement winger or forward & money

by nadeem2099 Tue 19 Jun 2018, 1:09 pm

Firmino 40m

by Fernando Wed 20 Jun 2018, 11:06 am

something that would improve me elsewhere really otherwise a lot of $$$

by nadeem2099 Wed 20 Jun 2018, 7:37 pm

No worries thought I could give you some cash as your in need of a striker.

by Fernando Wed 20 Jun 2018, 10:33 pm

probably Willian tbh

by **Afro** Sat 23 Jun 2018, 12:43 pm

£20m for Promes.

Enq for now whilst I weigh up options

by **Afro** Sat 23 Jun 2018, 7:31 pm

Depends on whether I can agree anything with Hero. If not, then I will definitely do it.

by **Afro** Mon 25 Jun 2018, 9:39 am

Sorry, but I'm not going to go through with the deal for Promes as I have signed Carrasco from Hero instead

by **Afro** Mon 25 Jun 2018, 1:15 pm

Nani + £13.5m for Promes

by **Afro** Mon 25 Jun 2018, 6:03 pm

I can see where you stand. I’m not one who really likes releasing players unless I really have to. I hate writing off 25% of a players value.

So I am willing to pay the £20m value for Promes but would want to use a winger (ie Nani) to free up a squad place and knock his frozen TM value off the price. He is £6.75m which would be £13.25m cash so I rounded it up. Cards on the table, I would go to £14m max.

Only other option I can see is David Villa instead of Nani, and I’d pay £18m on top with him.

by **Afro** Mon 25 Jun 2018, 8:26 pm

Sorry can’t go any higher.

by **Afro** Mon 25 Jun 2018, 8:44 pm

That’s fair enough.

by **Afro** Tue 26 Jun 2018, 9:41 am

When I saw it drawn out, I thought that's sods law. Laugh

No, I'll leave it as don't really want to pay more for him

by BamBam Tue 26 Jun 2018, 9:13 pm

Not interested in cash deal unless way higher than his TM value

Would consider a swap with Balde Diao

by BamBam Wed 27 Jun 2018, 9:33 am

I'd rather keep Aspas, was only the higher TM value that was making me consider it

by BamBam Mon 02 Jul 2018, 11:16 am

Feel free to make an offer, but I'm not selling him on the cheap just because of one duff game Wink

by BamBam Mon 02 Jul 2018, 6:05 pm

Can't really see anything that would really grab my attention for him at this point

by BamBam Sat 07 Jul 2018, 10:27 am

No, would consider Son far more valuable than Torreira

by BamBam Sat 07 Jul 2018, 11:15 am

If Kante did the same job as Torreira you wouldn't be taking a 20m loss on Sanchez to get him
