Piccini will be on his way after only a week at Victory. He couldn't cope with our party culture!

If anyone wants him, make an offer

by BamBam Tue Jun 05, 2018 1:43 pm

Viera being removed is rather annoying

Then losing 3 CMs to injury is even worse! Hero, I'll make some transfers off my phone later when I'm at the airport, will let you know when ready for tactics

by **Hero** Tue Jun 05, 2018 1:45 pm

Yeah sorry about that, had been playing well for you too!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue Jun 05, 2018 2:00 pm

hero if one of my two GKs are injured, do i need to buy a new one to have on the bench? i seem to remember that being a fifa requirement?

by **Hero** Tue Jun 05, 2018 2:45 pm

No, okay to not have a GK on the bench.
Only stip is that you can't have more than one x

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue Jun 05, 2018 2:54 pm

thank you daddy

by Fernando Tue Jun 05, 2018 2:54 pm

id sell you a goalie if ye want i got three quality ones anyway Laugh

by BamBam Tue Jun 05, 2018 2:57 pm

One of the players I want to buy was lawyered on May 7th - I'm not going to be around after today until next week, so would be unable to make any transfers later this week

Would it be possible for me to buy that player now even though we're a day short of the 1 month stipulation?

If it makes any difference, it's the player that I'll be replacing Viera with

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue Jun 05, 2018 3:13 pm

I would sanction it because Bam is lovely on the whole

by **Afro** Tue Jun 05, 2018 3:15 pm

I'm just going to check out all the lawyers from 7th May before I agree.....

by **Afro** Tue Jun 05, 2018 3:20 pm

Noone lawyers on 7th May, but a load on the 8th.

No problem with me, although there is also a midfielder lawyered on the 8th who I was considering bringing in so I might regret it

by BamBam Tue Jun 05, 2018 3:22 pm

Ah yeah it's the 8th, on my phone so fat fingers

Will wait for Hero to confirm before buying

by Fernando Tue Jun 05, 2018 3:29 pm

If this ends up being who i think it is then i shall be unamused and will in future pretend to go on holiday to sign people earlier Laugh

based on having to sneak Vidal in at 12.03am tomato

by **Hero** Tue Jun 05, 2018 3:36 pm

by BamBam Tue Jun 05, 2018 4:37 pm

Ok, will send you the transfers

Didn't think this was allowed?

by **Hero** Tue Jun 05, 2018 8:19 pm

I'm not buying them myself and then trading him on. Just posting it on his behalf.

by Fernando Tue Jun 05, 2018 8:35 pm

Not one to be complaining considering the last round of fixtures Miky Ok!

Morning Tino.

Let me know when you are ready to do tactics. I'm not in a rush this week, but can fit in doing mine whenever you do yours.

by **Afro** Thu Jun 07, 2018 9:01 am

Open to offers on any of the following, if anyone is interested:

Unai Nunez
Ibrahima Konate
Kolasinac
Vrsaljko
Marcos Alonso
Nani
Seri
Weigl
Shaqiri
Kenny
Battaglia

by Brooksey79 Thu Jun 07, 2018 9:44 am

Cool, I'll do mine today as well then Ok!

by **Hero** Thu Jun 07, 2018 9:48 am

Do only have Bam's at present so would be good to get some games done later tonight if poss xx

by Brooksey79 Thu Jun 07, 2018 3:10 pm

tactics are done

by **Hero** Fri Jun 08, 2018 9:31 am

Was going to stream a couple of games last night but FIFA was down Sad

Will get at least 2 done tonight (Bam v Nando, Afro v Tino) xx

by **Afro** Fri Jun 08, 2018 10:03 am

Cheers Hero.

Now both friendlies are out the way, what do people think will be the England team for the Tunisia game?

Me personally, before last night there were two positions up for grabs and that was CB and LWB.

I think Young did enough to jump ahead of Rose at LWB, and then Rose didn't do enough to reverse that.

I also think Cahill played himself in contention again, and Maguire didn't do enough to keep his place.

On top of this, you have to pick based on performance and Rashford now has to start in the number 10 role in place of Sterling.

by Brooksey79 Fri Jun 08, 2018 10:11 am

mornin all, didn't watch the game so can't comment

Cahill would start over Maguire for me by default, young England side needs some experience in there. Id go with sterling over Rashford myself

by **Hero** Fri Jun 08, 2018 10:18 am

Can Sterling not play on the right with Rashford in the no 10 role?

by Brooksey79 Fri Jun 08, 2018 10:27 am

would be the option wouldn't it, get as much pace into the side as possible

by Marky Fri Jun 08, 2018 10:37 am

Seems to be Dele and Lingard deeper, Kane and Sterling up top. I'd definitely drop Dele for Sterling deeper and play Rashford up top.

by Marky Fri Jun 08, 2018 10:42 am

I'd ideally see;

Pickford
Walker - Stones - Cahill
TAA --------- Dier --------- Rose
Sterling ------- Lingard
Rashford - Kane

But I do think Trippier, Young and Dele will replace TAA, Rose and one of Sterling/Rashford.

by Marky Fri Jun 08, 2018 10:45 am

Although I'd drop both Dier and Henderson for Delph in that holding role, it's not likely.

by Brooksey79 Fri Jun 08, 2018 10:52 am

Dier is useful as he can cover at CB.

it's just another England squad with a lot of much muchness..could he not just go 4-2-3-1

...................Pickford.........
Walker.....Cahill....Stones...Rose
.............Dier......Henderson......
Sterling..........Dele..........Rashford
....................Kane................

by **Afro** Fri Jun 08, 2018 11:30 am

Southgate has already come out and say this is the system they will use, and there is no plan B formation as they believe it is flexible enough to adapt to different situations.

He has also said that it is either Henderson or Dier in the team, not both.

Personally I think it needs to be either Rashford or Sterling. I wouldn't have Sterling and Lingard effectively in a 3 with Dier. We'd be too exposed in the middle of the park.

by Brooksey79 Fri Jun 08, 2018 11:41 am

I really don't know then Afro, is Walker really good enough defensively up against top quality opponents?

Think England's level are solid quarter finals, whether that's seen as enough who knows but for me that's the reality. I'd expect France/Germany/Spain/Brazil to beat them

by Marky Fri Jun 08, 2018 12:15 pm

Ultimately we'll lose to the big boys whatever formation we play.

So may as well play a system that gets the best out of our best players (which we have done) and see how far we get.

by Marky Fri Jun 08, 2018 12:20 pm

Tactics sent to Hero

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri Jun 08, 2018 12:49 pm

For me it has to be

Pickford

TAA
Walker
Stones
Maguire
Rose

Dier
Alli

Rashford
Sterling
Kane

Rashford and Sterling wide of Kane. As much as I like Messi Lingard I think him and Alli step on each other’s toes too much if they play together

by Brooksey79 Fri Jun 08, 2018 1:01 pm

Dele and Kane link well for Spurs, so for that reason they should be kept together. But you have Walker/Rose/Dier/Alli/Kane almost half that side have bottlejob DNA. I know walker is now at Citeh but still

by **Hero** Fri Jun 08, 2018 5:23 pm

Bam asked me to make the transfer on the 8th on his behalf but included him in his team. Think he forgot cut off so he can't play.

by **Afro** Fri Jun 08, 2018 6:20 pm

Worth watching that game for one of the standout moments of the season.

by **Hero** Fri Jun 08, 2018 7:06 pm

Certainly looking forward to hearing what Bam and Nando think!!

by **Hero** Fri Jun 08, 2018 7:59 pm

Just doing yours now Afro. Ramos v Salah part 2!

by **Afro** Fri Jun 08, 2018 8:15 pm

Watched it live Ok!

by Brooksey79 Fri Jun 08, 2018 10:32 pm

Thanks for that hero. 3 unbeaten now
