We were going to exclude Dons until Hero said he wanted the 1st 16 teams in the league to make it easier to swap Run

by BamBam Mon 12 Nov 2018, 11:43 am

Anyone fancy knocking up a press conference today / tomorrow

Hero wrote:Does it take into account the exponential growth that teams will have over the course of the season. Over 30 weeks MK Dons accepting lawyers for 500k players and then getting lawyers for the 550k players, and then 600k players etc is generating a lot more additional funds than me getting lawyers on 50k, 55k, 60k players.

The average player calculation that I set-up on Bam's sheet shows that there isn't a huge difference in the average player value for the teams at the bottom end of the list.

by **Afro** Mon 12 Nov 2018, 1:14 pm

There are also quite a few teams who are above the 25 player squad limit. This is either because your team pages are not up to date or you have too many players.

Please can everyone get down to within the limit, and update your team page, by the time you submit your tactics, and by close of Thursday at the latest.

Anyone who remains over the limit at this point will get an extra injury drawn next week

by Trebs Mon 12 Nov 2018, 1:17 pm

Accepting both of my lawyers if anyone wants either?

Troy Brown would do a good job for most teams.

by **Hero** Mon 12 Nov 2018, 1:22 pm

Currently my squad is worth 3.5m less than Olly's.
My squad is worth £141k per player on average. Now if I was to accept every lawyer I received plus weekly bonuses I’d be upgrading to a squad worth 305k per player after 12 weeks (141 + 14 + 300/2) (and that’s if I get lucky on my lawyer offers as I also have a number of 0 value players) After 24 weeks my squad player value on average would be up to 485k per player, after 36 weeks (with cup weeks the season will go on at least this) then it's 683k per player with a total squad value of 17.1m
MK Dons start at 305k per player on average. After 12 weeks they’ll be on 485k per player, after 24 weeks they’re up to 683k per player. After 36 weeks this goes to 901k per player and a total squad value of 22.5m, 5.4m more than mine. So over the course of the season Olly gains an additional 1.9m over my squad.

I'm after a squad filler if anyone is over their squad/release limits

The point here is that Olly's squad is the anomaly rather than yours though. How does yours compare to Newport, for example?

by TwisT Mon 12 Nov 2018, 1:34 pm

Plus I think it is a challenge you should embrace Hero.

by **Afro** Mon 12 Nov 2018, 1:39 pm

Also the season is 32 weeks, as the last 3 cup rounds are planned to be played alongside the league week

by **Hero** Mon 12 Nov 2018, 2:47 pm

Compared to Newport its minimal, they gain 200k over me exponentially over the course of a season.

by Take a boo Mon 12 Nov 2018, 3:39 pm

Are we now able to add the tactics bonus?

by **Hero** Mon 12 Nov 2018, 3:50 pm

by BamBam Mon 12 Nov 2018, 4:11 pm

Anyone other than Sodhat not getting it?

by **Hero** Mon 12 Nov 2018, 4:45 pm

Nando was late but had computer issues which I'm happy to waive.

by BamBam Mon 12 Nov 2018, 4:50 pm

Spunked all over his keyboard and the keys wouldn't work I assume?

by Fernando Mon 12 Nov 2018, 4:52 pm

Yeah i sent it to get repaired it's not really repaired it's the slowest thing in human history currently but usable kind of. I may need a temporary assistant manager to help me out Laugh

Ask Trebs. He might have someone available...

by **Hero** Mon 12 Nov 2018, 5:50 pm

I've been asked if I can go to London this weekend for an event with work so I'm going to be unable to stream any matches from Friday until Sunday teatime.

Will it help to get some done earlier? If so, I can get my tactics in tomorrow. Playing Marky this week.

by BamBam Mon 12 Nov 2018, 6:48 pm

Yeah I can also do my tactics tomorrow once I've done transfers

by **Hero** Mon 12 Nov 2018, 6:50 pm

Ideally if poss, if not I can do what remains on Sunday/Monday evening.

by Fluxy Mon 12 Nov 2018, 8:01 pm

As soon as injuries are done I can get mine in as well Ok!

by Marky Mon 12 Nov 2018, 9:31 pm

I'll probably do mine tomorrow or Wednesday

by **Afro** Mon 12 Nov 2018, 9:50 pm

Marky wrote:I'll probably do mine tomorrow or Wednesday

Let me know when you do and I’ll time mine at the same time

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 12 Nov 2018, 11:03 pm

Pretty sure I'm on the same update as you, Hero. So I can probably do some if it helps

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 12 Nov 2018, 11:09 pm

Also, I think the free agents price is too high and would ease a lot of the squad building if lower. It only really impacts the smaller clubs who can't raise money.

It may be today, depending on transfers, lawyers and injuries.

by **Afro** Tue 13 Nov 2018, 8:31 am

About to run lawyers and injuries. Please could someone drawn mine, plus injuries for Marky.

by Marky Tue 13 Nov 2018, 8:34 am

Was about to say I can, but, you know.

Could do your lawyers

by **Afro** Tue 13 Nov 2018, 8:36 am

Happy for you to do my lawyers Ok!

by Marky Tue 13 Nov 2018, 8:36 am

Morecambe lawyers

Carlos Peralta (Equidad) - £675k - 70
Luke Conlan (Morecambe) - £45k - 56

You can add 10%, work just got busy

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue 13 Nov 2018, 8:47 am

Having subverted the laws of the game, would you like me to do press conference questions?

by Marky Tue 13 Nov 2018, 8:48 am

Yes please

by **Afro** Tue 13 Nov 2018, 8:52 am

Think I might move to that island that is right on the international date line.

Will go to the west to do my foreigns, and then back to the east side for handing in tactics

by **Afro** Tue 13 Nov 2018, 8:57 am

Lawyers and injuries are up Ok!

Just need someone to draw mine and Marky's injuries Ok!

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue 13 Nov 2018, 9:05 am

I'll do that if it's needed (although I don't know the way...I mean how)

by **Afro** Tue 13 Nov 2018, 9:07 am

https://www.random.org/lists/

Copy and paste the squad list from the team page on to here and randomise. Top 3 are injuries. Then repeat for the other team.

Thanks Ok!

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue 13 Nov 2018, 9:12 am

Son of a nutcracker

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue 13 Nov 2018, 9:19 am

On the plus side, I think I've Frak you both long and hard.

by Marky Tue 13 Nov 2018, 9:21 am

One first teamer out tbf. I'm okay.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue 13 Nov 2018, 9:23 am

I'd feel any sympathy if my two best defenders hadn't just been ripped from me Very Happy

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue 13 Nov 2018, 9:24 am

Whilst I'm paying strict attention to the rules, am I allowed to except lawyers after my game?

by TwisT Tue 13 Nov 2018, 9:27 am

I have BS injuries.

And yes, you are.

Given the injuries I was getting last season on the title run in, I have no sympathy Laugh

by TwisT Tue 13 Nov 2018, 9:54 am

You had squad depth to combat it though Laugh

It is ok, but I will be changing the order about on my team sheet Wink

Only reason I said it was BS is not because of who it is but because it is nearly in the right order, 1 after the other, on my teamsheet :laugh

Very pleased with my foreign.

Bam - the guy has the same name as the Cambridge player Dolph just released. Will that mess up your IF
lookup formulas in the spreadsheet?

by Marky Tue 13 Nov 2018, 10:16 am

My best XI's ratings are a bit mad with the 70 limit.

Two 70's, four 69's (teehee), three 68's, a 67 and a 65. It's only Week 3 Laugh
