Magaluf, but I would do it quick as you only have a couple of weeks

Pff, we here at Wellington did it classy and took off to Ibiza straight after the final game

Yeah looking at Akanji next week, a player potentially for FIFA 19 but not this season.

What date are Season 3 values set?

Marky wrote:What date are Season 3 values set?

End of the day next Monday (13th?)

I'll probably check all my TM values on Monday then before deciding.

Reluctantly cashing in on Iniesta, £19.8m if I sell now, but his value is down at £7.2m (and he's still as ineffective for me as he was for you Afro )

No brainer really. He should be brilliant, at a 87 rating, but he just doesn't have the legs anymore

Everyone okay if I generate the season 3 fixtures in a bit

Bam - any desire to keep the Google sheets from season 2, or can I recycle it for season 3?

We've got the league table and results on the forum anyway, so go for it!

I have posted Season 3 fixtures up on a new page.

I have also put in pages ready for results, table and top scorers.

Hero - do you want me to archive the old season 2 pages. I'll need to be given the ability to do it

Just in process of doing it all but thanks!

Thanks Afro

No worries. Let me know if you need me to help with anything else. I'm going to crack on with getting the Google doc updated and ready to go

Hi guys, I'm going to set up a league which I intend to start sometime next month. Let me know if you're interested

Basic rules will be something along these lines:
- FIFA will not be involved, there will be predictions of some sort.
- Draws will be reinstated when predicting
- Transfer values to be determined via Transfermarkt
- No lawyers but unlimited releases at 75%.
- I'm thinking the bottom 8/10 of the Premier League for starting squads.
- League to start once the transfer window closes.
- Planned to run for the course of this season IRL. So would probably get three or four seasons out of this iteratiton.

Not for me sorry Trebs. Its unlikely that I will take part in a league again, that involves predictions and voting.

It was the one part that I didn't enjoy and found a bit of a burden

Not for me either, will be focusing on this and the next iterations of the FIFA league

I signed Rodrygo for 90k mid season, not realising he wasn't on FIFA

He's now worth 9m - do I get anything for his value

You get your 90k back

i believe

Currently, £90k.

Nominate him for S3 Lawyers and get £9.9m though surely. Alternatively, keep him and wait for a lawyer in S3.

No worries.

With the players who weren't in FIFA when we started season 2, we were able to sell for their TM value, although I am not sure whether it was compulsory!!

Its either 1) its compulsory to not have players not on FIFA, in which case you get your money back or 2) you can have non-FIFA players, just not play them, and you can therefore lawyer them.

Given its a FIFA league, I lean towards 1) making sense. 2) just opens a can of worms where you could have players to absorb injuries/make money

Tasty fixtures. A derby to start and then against Hero again for last game of the season!

A no from me Trebs, sorry.

Really stuck with what to do with my team! I think I have two I would lawyer but the cash I would get doesn't really amount to much. I'm looking for players around 15-25m bracket at the moment.

You can have Pedro for 25m if you wish cos he's going to be my nominated lawyer (works out the same too effectively)

Can't raise the cash without downgrading

Nando - whats the inside track on Joao Virginia, this young keeper Everton have signed from Arsenal?

Highly regarded has an attitude problem though hence why he's been sold.

This isn’t 2013 Trebs it’s a no from me

He's living in the past like Mourinho

Harsh. 2013 would have foreigns decided by a panel of 3 people

Of which two would have been Nick and Viva telling you Jesus Navas will never move from Sevilla.

Not sure how you can raise cash in that league.

Anyway, I will join if it's non league and I can be Ebbsfleet

Finally dipped my toe into Football Index Afro

Started with the princely sum of £10 (+£10 from the referral)

Anyone got any complaints if I switch week2 and 3 around in the fixtures.

I am away for the first two games so was going to just send my tactics to Hero and ask him to changes players as needed for injuries. Except I am playing him in week 2.

I could get someone else to do it, but thought it would be simpler just to switch the fixtures

BamBam wrote:Finally dipped my toe into Football Index Afro

Who did you buy?

I started with £20 too, same as you. It dropped to around £15, then I bought Pavard before the World Cup and his value went up and I got back to £20

Sold it a week or so ago and bought Kepa on the basis that his value would go up if he moved to Chelsea. It did to start with, but for some reason has plummeted this week when the deal turned from rumours to reality. Think I'm down to £12 or something like that

So far, no one! I deposited the money, considered buying a couple of players then decided I needed more research

Will wait till the season starts around Europe, aiming to pick up the well performing youngsters and make money that way

Makes sense

I'm currently 30p up on my £10.

Now £1.14 up. Drinks on me.

In the absence of any complaints, I'm going to switch these around.

Is it today we have to nominate a lawyer?

I nominate Lionel Hutz

Nominate today if you want it based on season 2 values. Tomorrow for updated values

Surely it doesn't matter if we choose the player today, it'll be tomorrow at updated values

Hence why you get rid of someone's who value gone down instead

We did that last week.

Last week, lawyers at S2 value

This week, lawyers at S3 value

not nominated this week is it 0o

When do you want us to update squads with new values? tomorrow?

Prem summer transfers have just had a value update on TM

Mina! Willian!

As if my decision wasn't hard enough already. Thank you TM.

BamBam wrote:I signed Rodrygo for 90k mid season, not realising he wasn't on FIFA

He's now worth 9m - do I get anything for his value

What was the decision on this?

I've updated all my players values to their August 13 value ready for lawyers tomorrow
