Phil Taylor

Hope you all had a good Christmas

Had a great one Azz, hope you did too. Back at work today and actually having to work between Xmas and New Year is a new one for me

BamBam wrote:Had a great one Azz, hope you did too. Back at work today and actually having to work between Xmas and New Year is a new one for me

Welcome to the real world!

Hey all, hope Xmas was good. First day in a while I have been able to come onto v2.

Happy New Christmas

Merry Year

Marky wrote:Happy New Christmas

How did you find the New Christmas compared to the old one?

Are we doing stuff and things this week? Transfers and lawyers? 

I think Hero requested another week for updating, so we don't need injuries.

Happy New Year everyone.

I will bring all the pages up to date from the catch-up game played over Xmas.

Can we also have a push to recruit a new Newport manager asap, and find out whether $ka has lost interest

Happy New Year Afro

If Ska has lost interest, we should probably just let Newport/Bury go as auto teams for the rest of the season then they can be removed at the end of season 1

BamBam wrote:Happy New Year Afro

I agree with that as a fall back option, but if we can get someone else that would be better

Agreed, just think its unlikely we'd find two managers

If we do put them to automatic teams, then I suggest we do no injuries (and obviously no lawyers) for them and then Hero doesn't have to touch them at all

Hero - did you run an update over Xmas in the end?

Think he's going to do over the next few days with a view to starting again next week

Fair dos. I won't worry about my players new stats until next week then

Rejected my £347k Lawyer offer for Tomiyasu, as he's gone up to £5.4m on TM

Oh boy, it's not just Tomiyasu!

Francis Amuzu - cost £450k, now £2.25m
Elvis Rexhbecaj - cost £180k, now £1.35m
Sergio Akieme - cost £90k, now £270k

Sadly both my former Greek boys went up in value, but you can't win them all!

Have they done a value update then? Wonder if i should check my squad.

Yeah a fair few of the leagues have been updated

I've had a couple go down, none go up.

But given its 6 months until any increase means anything, I think I'll live with it!

I'd suggest that if we are to remove those two teams, that either everyone gets six points against them or everyone has to play them.

Of the ones I have checked, Aliendro has gone to 2m. Like Afro says, nothing can be done in 6 months anyway and expect us all to make quite a bit of profit by then.

Hope everyone had a good xmas/new year. What was your main new years resolution for the new year?

Trebs wrote:I'd suggest that if we are to remove those two teams, that either everyone gets six points against them or everyone has to play them.

It would be at the end of the season, but what usually happens in real life is that points earned against a side that goes bust mid season are expunged as if they were never in the league.

I might quit drinking, partly because I'm still suffering from New Years Eve just see how far I can drag it out. F*ck Dry January, that's just putting pressure on it.

One advantage with FIFA is Hero can keep last tactics etc and still play those games. So we would only need to get rid at the end of the season.

Yeah I'm fine with that. Other option is to say that at the mid-point of the season every team gets a default win for the second game?

I had a look at what the impact would be. At the top not a huge difference. A few places changes with points swapped for games in hand. Bigger at the bottom with Hero losing 4 of his 5 points

Don’t think it makes sense or would be fair to change any results that have happened but giving default wins in second half would save a lot of time I’m sure and be fair to all.

And Happy New year all!

Has anyone contacted Ska?

I dropped him a message on ja a couple weeks back but he hasn’t got back

Perhaps that appalling display by Madness at New Year embarrassed him too much?

Clever!

Unfortunately one of my players has been removed from FIFA due to my update (Arthur), in the case of previous players being removed they've got a 100% TM value back and an extra foreign for that week only so will do that.

Finally had a player have an increase in value
Hiroki Abe who's been my best player as well, increased 1000%
