Fernando wrote:Anyone got a RB or Keeper for sale?

Right back, Lewis Young can go. Sent my tactics in already but he isn't in the 18.

I'd sell Roche, and also open to offers on Madisha

I have both on my bench, but my tactics are still unread so I could easily edit if needed

I’m waiting to sell 3 goalkeepers but wanting TM value for two and got the other purely for squad number

Those that were interested in Sierhuis, I have found a CB replacement so will want more than his lawyer value in straight moolah

Were there any financial rewards for progress in the cup?

I think something for the winner perhaps?

I assumed you’d get 200k for tactics so if you’re knocked out you wouldn’t get that?

This week you get £200k for tactics. The next 3 rounds are played alongside league games, so you just get the league game tactics bonus.

As always, open to suggestions, but I think something for winning the whole thing would make sense

As it's the hard-core cup, how about something different rather than a cash bonus.

What about one week injury wildcard for next season. You can choose a week you have no injuries.

I like that. Or being able to choose one of your weekly lawyers.

Or, even better, in the spirit of hardcore mode:

You can choose a week where your opponent has five injuries.

If you’re doing that, the runner-up should be guaranteed it isn’t used against them

So suggestions are:

1) Injury wildcard where for one week of your choosing you have no injuries;
2) Hardcore injury card where your opponent has 5 injuries;
3) Lawyer wildcard, where you get to choose one of your lawyers for that week.


For me personally, I'd prefer it not to have too much of an influence on the league, so I'd say 3), but equally happy with 1). Think 2) punishes another team too much.

How about an extra foreign signing for one week? Or a loan player which is upto the 70 rating and can then be used for the remainder of the season?

Lawyer wildcard or extra foreign for me

I'd say the extra injuries option is a no from the off as if a squad has less than 23 players they can't do it anyway.

Sheep, with answers to be with me by 1pm and answers from 2pm:

1. Name a team who has played in the Premier League but isn't currently in the Premier League.
2. Apart from Alan Shearer, name someone who has scored 30 goals in a Premier League season.
3. It's the North London derby this weekend - name someone who's played for both teams.
4. Tyson Fury fights Deontay Wilder this weekend. Apart from Wladimir Klitschko, name someone he has beaten.
5. We all know about the seven wonders of the ancient world. But can you name one of the seven Wonders of the Solar System?
6. Name someone who's been a regular presenter on Sky Sports News.
7. When I appeared on The Chase, how many questions did I get right on my cash builder?
8. Now that KFC have ruined their chips and lost tens of thousands of customers, who now has the best chips - McDonalds, Burger King or chip shops?

So what do you have to do get one that’s common or uncommon?

Common.

Answers sent.

Some excellent questions Azzy. Also do you have a link to your Chase episode? (To use after Sheep, of course)

Sadly not, they don't put them online. I have it on my TV box at home though. Nothing worse than watching yourself on TV, I don't know how actors do it. Or footballers. Or chefs. Just cringe. My kids love it though!

I've appeared twice on tv being interviewed about Macc Town, both times were horrific. Also got interviewed for the Friday Night Project as a lookalike for Mark Lamarr but it didn't make it to air, ironic when the programme was hosted by Alan Carr who everyone says I look like.

Don't make me sit through it again. I got three answers in the Final Chase, two of which were Maroon 5 and Little Mix

I have no idea of the format so I don't know whether that's good or not.


I also might have been really kind or really rude to you on my sheep answer for the chase question as I have no idea what a typical number is. I plucked a number out of the air

So far, no-one has given me the actual real answer. But then again, I didn't put the real answer as my answer either

I put McDonalds down as best chips, even though that's a lie.

I assumed all the northern monkeys on here would say chip shop

Rightly so too. McDonalds and Burger King don't do "Chips"

Afro wrote:Rightly so too. McDonalds and Burger King don't do "Chips"

Hero wrote:3? Thicko.

Dude the questions were really tough. The Vixen even said to me after that she only got 5 on my round.

Do you recall the questions? I'll have a go at them.

Think Bam got a clean sweep on top answers there.

What have KFC done to their chips btw, they were always terrible so can't imagine they've got much worse

Hero wrote:Think Bam got a clean sweep on top answers there.

Flawless victory

BamBam wrote:What have KFC done to their chips btw, they were always terrible so can't imagine they've got much worse

They've made them slightly fatter, smaller, smaller portions, soggier, and with skin on. Skin! Skin belongs on meat, not on vegetables.

KFC chips in Australia are not bad, them and Burger King both out chicken salt on them and it’s excellent.

I’d never have won that. I’m doing my best to avoid hearing about Fury this weekend.
