I'm not confident mate it is just a suggestion like everything else. I would certainly like to see more of a crack down on people not keeping their pages updated with all their financial dealings

Personally I like the idea of a 9 week season then switch to Fifa 19 best and then we could a draft which I’d be happy to run or assist running (my thinking would be pools of players at each position to draft from, based on fifa ratings)

Not a fan of the extra documents etc would rather just keep it on the site - I’m one Bam would define as “lazy”

Injuries and lawyers will be done shortly. Please can someone do mine, plus injuries for Nando please

Injuries for you:

David Villa (New York City)
Julian Weigl (Dortmund)
Sime Vrsaljko (Atletico)

Lawyers:

Rafinha Alcantara (Inter) - £14.9m
Danijel Subasic (Monaco) - £5m

Nando injuries:

Goalkeeper - Sergio Asenjo - 6.75m - (7.2m) - Villareal
Attacking Mid - Mesut Ozil 45m - Arsenal
Winger - Xherdan Shaqiri - 16.2m - Stoke

Thank you sir.

Injuries and lawyers are up

Can I get a rule clarification please.

I could do tactics today with two players included that I will lawyer tomorrow. That ok?

Yes that's totally fine to do so.

I think you can do what Nadz did and confirm for Friday, as long as it is clear to your opponent which players are eligible to play this week or not.

Personally I would just wait and accept the lawyers on Friday after squad cut off to avoid any confusion or arguments.

Cheers. Got massive massive decision to make.....

Lawyer both and get a 50m plus player in. Hoping I'm still in the hunt come the last game.

But if I do I actually lose around 16m based on current TM value.

It's the equivalent of putting all your chips on red knowing those chips would actually be worth more the next day.

You don't have to accept the lawyers until Monday so you could always wait and see whether you are still in the hunt then

Not putting too much thought into my tactics this week...... tactics submitted!

Been waiting for a lawyer on Henrichs since the beginning of season 1, took its time!

Sorry, I made a mistake it wasn't Henrichs....

My tactics are also in

Plan!

I have just under 50m to spend, anyone want to sell anyone?

Joel Pereira would be a snip at just under £49.5m

ill always listen to offers tbh

Always open to offers...

What is Hero even after anyway?

FBs or WGs atm.

Fair enough

All of mine are available barring Valencia cos he's too cheap to replace with qualiteh

Morning folks. So season 3, looks like we are leaning towards:

Length of season - 9 game season only
Week 1 start date - 21st August, first tactics on 24th
Date of TM value refreeze - 13th August (allows one set of lawyers at old price and one at new before the season starts)
Lawyers/TPs/Releases - same as normal, two per week

As its only a short season, how about my suggestion of two nominated lawyers at the end of the season, one before the refreeze and one after?

So it would be:
Weekend of 4th/5th - Final game of season 2
Tuesday 7th - two lawyers, one random and one nominated, both at season 2 value +10%
Monday 13th - players values are refrozen based on TM value at that date
Tuesday 14th - two lawyers, one random and one nominated, both at new season 3 value +10%
Tuesday 21st - start of season 3, two random lawyers as per normal

And throughout all this, you continue to get 2 TPs and 2 releases per week, running Tuesday to Monday.

I also suggest keeping any potential use of Google sheets to track transfers on the back burner until the FIFA 19 reboot. This will be a brand new game from scratch and we can discuss all these kind of things before kicking that off

All good with that

Just amended - I think we were leaning towards a 9 game season weren't we. I copied and pasted for my initial post and then forgot to edit it to a 9 game season.

I'm happy with most of that, but does feel like having 4 lawyers with 2 of them nominated between the seasons might be overkill in terms of cash coming into the league

I did think having 1 nominated, but you are going to have people who want it at old price and people want it at new price.

TBH whether they are nominated or not, it will be the same number of lawyers, so a similar risk of amount of cash coming in. We could just say 1 nominated lawyer per week, and no random ones, in the two weeks between seasons.

Yeah fair enough I guess

Happy to go with the majority vote anyway, its not a massive issue

I think thats fine Afro, a bit more cash in the league for a 9 week final dart type season won't be a major issue for me

Also it gives us time to sort out the new league for Fifa 19 - whilst still enjoying some top class Fifa league TM action

Big pressure on my team now after Twist's game.

You'll be fine against the ghost ship ....

Yeah, a win is important because it makes the difference to who the draw favours next week.

I've suggested it to Hero but if 1st and 2nd is confirmed before the last game, would you lot mind if Hero and I play with no injuries? Just think it's a fitting end.

Sure, as long as everyone else has no injuries for their games either

If by then Nando can't finish second, I have no issue with it as long as you are both happy to do it.

I wouldn't blame Hero from not being given his CBs were decimated in the first game where you beat him. Things being even would be for injuries in this game too

TwisT wrote:I've suggested it to Hero but if 1st and 2nd is confirmed before the last game, would you lot mind if Hero and I play with no injuries? Just think it's a fitting end.

I'd say no. I think it would have the opposite effect and make a bit of a mockery of it to be honest.

I don't mind either way. Just would avoid the "you only won because I didn't have Bale" excuse

TwisT wrote:I don't mind either way. Just would avoid the "you only won because I didn't have Bale" excuse

I would just translate that to "you only won because my squad isn't good enough to cope with injuries to key players"

Very good point

Not suggesting that Hero would say that, nor that his squad is not good enough for the record.

More that we have always tried to aim for a game that requires a squad and not just 11 Galacticos. Having no injuries in the most important game of the season, contradicts that tbh

Again a good point. Keep the week as normal then.

My players will come out for their warm up with t-shirts for their fallen team-mates.

Better hope its not Pierre-Emerick Aubamyang, Radja Nainggolan and Bruno Fernandes, or they'll need long sleeves which is not good in this weather

New PC up

Done, although its the week 17 PC, not week 15. We must have missed a couple of weeks

Anyone want rakitic

lads, ladies, and nando

so this si the final week of season 2?

It is indeed. Winner takes all at the top should be a good match up, will definitely try and watch that one live

I'm also hoping to sneak 3rd if Nando slips up against Crawley
