ps. Tino you are an absolute tit

why this time?

Read your injuries then read your line up

I don't mind giving you a hand Miky. Just say.

i'll give you two hands Miky

much better experience for you

I had that used to be Standard Liege..quite decent value for money with all the printouts and transfer lists

ah 5hit bags...see I switched Montoya knowing wendell was out <laugh>

And you get 12 fingers then as well!

Nando im guessing it was olly v Tino that was difficult one to decide and me v hero was easy?

Hero unanimous decision.

As Tino used an injured player I think it's the other way around Trebs.

No love for a January transfer window bonanza-phon then? I want to do some deals!

Trebs was trying to do a funny bless him.

Oh.

Facing Fussball this week so being careful what I say

nah my ten are still decent

TwisT wrote:Oh.

I do wonder what you'd say if you weren't being careful.

Something about Rashford being over-rated yarda yarda ya. But we know he isn't.

Hopefully we will get some decent lawyers this week.

Don’t let Bam do them this week...!

Submitted my vote. Rambled a bit as I was typing what I was thinking as I thought about the teams/tactics, and rather than summarised just sent Miky those rambles!!!

There has been some really good feedback this week, which is great.

Fixtures in the OP are updated.

I was going to send you the updated op tomorrow - I normally wait until after voting closes as people can use it to see which game they are voting on.

Don’t let Nando’s impatience bully you!

It's alright, i've managed to do it whilst organising results and then updating the table etc

Kalamazoo Outrage v Fussball result up and same for SAS v Fiorentina

Congratulations Hero.

Obviously three people saying what I've done isn't good enough, there's not a lot I can say. Thanks to voter 3 for the detailed well thought-out feedback.

You asked me for honest feedback via pm Trebs and i gave you it, it's your squad at the end of the day.

I could see your thought process Trebs about picking wingers with a higher work rate and more willing to track back. Problem is that the formation I could understand more if it was over two legs and you were protecting a first leg win. It meant you had no real threat unfortunately.

Tino got a win vote despite having an injured player play?

It seems so

It was myself that gave it but with the added caveat that if the player was swapped for an alternative he'd get the win. Know it is Tina's error for not spotting it but logically if a player is injured in RL before a game a team doesn't just go out with 10 players and don't think we should just be dickish on the voting as a result.

So what's the point of having injuries then? if they just get replaced in your XI anyways?

Well presumably like how normal teams get injuries and they put in replacements?

Hero wrote:Well presumably like how normal teams get injuries and they put in replacements?

Good news lads your injuries get replaced if you start them and so the squad limit matters no more

Ole is correct here tbf. No point of injuries if can just ignore them ill just start my best XI then let you guys figure what needs replacing.

I find it an odd call by Hero considering every other time it's happened that side just auto loses.

To be fair, with the Poopie i've been getting recently with rules i didn't make a fuss about it especially as people voted that he lost the game.

Also Hero did point out in votes that he noticed it..

Might wanna clarify this one for future reference I always considered them as Ineligible rather then injured That's probably the future turn em into suspensions

With it being very tight at the top and because it could all hinge on GD, I think Olly should get an unanimous win.

It is an unfortunate mistake but I think injuries is a rule we can't mess about with for the reasons above. If you play an injured player then you forfit the match.

I mean, the unanimous win is happening as Hero did say and ive already mentioned it, that if he isnt able to play a replacement then its an SAS win..

It does say SAS split win - and I’ve got no issue with what Hero done voting wise if that’s the rule - it just needs clarifying either way so we all know going forth

I WON A GAME

I would like to put forward the motion that if a player has an injury and it's spotted at the stage of voting that the person can replace them from their squad.

Well done mate, I had a feeling I did the wrong thing after submitting tactics. But I really like your midfield and if I was voting on the tactics I would have gone for a win to you......annoyingly because of the main reason mentioned.

Even if I played wingbacks to get more width I would have played into your hands with 2 in midfield like you thought.

Looking forward to the next game. It's been a really well run league so these lil teething issues over rules is a small thing in comparison.

Morning all

I do remember in a realistic league a long time ago Messi getting injured in a title decider.
They decided to play him anyway because they'd have sooner had a half fit Messi than whoever their backup was.


I would say injury = playing with 10 men
Easier to quantify that way

I'd say it's at the choice of the opponent. I think most of us are reasonable and would like to see a proper 11 v 11 game, and I think for something like this it should be a gentleman's agreement rather than a hard and fast rule.

I'm with Trebs. If you play an injured player, it is the equivalent of not having that player.

I'm all for realism, but people just need to take responsibility for making sure they are not playing injured people. Applying reality leaves too much assumption for the voter

I suggest making it compulsory to put your injuries at the top of your tactics so voters can quickly check

In fairness on that Tino did do that, and STILL forgot

mornin all....a loss is a loss...it happens

Yeah I'm more inclined to be flexible as would rather have a proper match. The only problem is if one person agrees for one game and another doesn't for another it could impact final standings.

It is only a fun game but I think injuries are one rule that needs to be strict. Otherwise, like Nando said earlier, there is no point having them.

Calling it suspensions would make a lot of sense

Just about to do lawyers, anything free to do mine?

Here you go:

AM - Riccardo Saponara - £9.9m
RB - Matteo Darmian - £10.8m

Am I the only one who doesn't give much of a stuff about goalkeepers

I plan to get rid of Mignolet at the first possible lawyer opportunity, but I'm not prioritising it over the rest of the team

If that's a hint then I'm disappointing you sorry Bam.

Oh and cheers Trebs
