1) I expect to finish nearer the top than the bottom, but it won't be easy and I know everyone will rate their own side better than anyone else will (including me) so will just have to wait and see.

2) I'd bring in the option to buy players from releases at release value instead of TM value, although for that to work it'd need to be at 50% instead of 75% IMO. It was a good system back in the day.

3) Probably the young Real Madrid RB Hero signed, he'd fill a role in my youth side and also his value will rocket the more he plays for Madrid.

4) Definitely. Nobody should know as much about young players without being at least on the radar of Yewtree.

5) Long time away but the player I want most is Kevin De Bruyne, may try and save up and wait for the new season and more expensive players becoming available.

6) Seeing as I've said I expect to finish top half, and that I lost my opener, I wouldn't be shocked if I ended up bottom of the league Laugh

1) Where do you expect to finish this season?

Bottom

2) If could bring a new rule in what would it be?

I'd remove the cap on the transfer value limit

3) If you could poach a young player from another side who would it be (5m or less)?

technically he's 5.4m but it's close enough Jorge Mere

4) Is Hero a danger to society?

Nah hes harmless enough, that said in approx 30 years so "brave souls" may come forward

5) Who is you long term target to build up to?

Southampton

6) Who will come bottom of the league (Bam not included)

Fiorentina Turner, no depth, no defence, shiete midfield and no goal threat

1. I will be amazed if I don't win the league. I don't see anyone better than me.

2. I think we should be able to buy released players at 75% - agree with Marky.
There's several things I've suggested which would have a bigger impact on the league but it's probably best we don't go over them again.

3. I'm not really bothered about the youth element of this game. Angel Gomes who Marky got quick could be a good signing.

4. He's a bit on the snakey side but he's alright really.

5. At the start of next season it's going to be crazy with players coming in as people sell for enhanced values. We need to do something about that.
But my target is my boy Cavani. He's a monster.

6. Hard to say really - I guess it's a scrap between all the other sides to avoid finishing bottom. I'm not mean enough to single out the one I think.

1) Where do you expect to finish this season?

My determination is not what it was, so less bothered about aiming to win. I'll be happy to get through the season unscathed and above Olly.

2) If could bring a new rule in what would it be?

Chips and Curry Sauce every Friday

3) If you could poach a young player from another side who would it be (5m or less)?

Not sure if he is still under £5m on TM, but he is on Marky's sheet - I would like to have Jean-Kevin Augustin

4) Is Hero a danger to society?

Constantly. A real menace. Seriously, Hero is a top bloke. Dedicates a lot of his own time to this forum and all he gets in return are sexual favours from Olly.

5) Who is you long term target to build up to?

Haven't really planned that far ahead. I tend to sit back, let others fight for the same players and then pick up the stragglers afterwards

6) Who will come bottom of the league (Bam not included)

I would say I might, other than that its anyone. If Olly reverts to type and starts buying Norwich players, then him. I can imagine that week when he plays a top side in years to come - Russell Martin v Lewandowski, Tettey v Pogba, Cam Jam v Boateng

I seem to have mis-read question 5, but at Fiorentina we don't like to tap up other teams players it's not the done thing

1). I'm hoping top 4 but will need to put some work in to do so
2). I have an idea but wont suggest it until we have had plenty of league time.
3). Locatelli probably
4). No, hes a good man and extremely knowledgeable about football, especially the up and coming stars of the future.
5). I think its risky to say but i have a Possession based team to build and all i will say is that i want people who can pass the ball amongst other qualities of course.
6). Not sure, think everyone should be in for a good battle regardless of where they are in the league if they keep getting votes and tactics in and don't take default losses.
