I feel like the serious message you’re trying to drive home here is that you would do it for the paid time off

He apparently was stressed by writing a book, and that's what made him do it. I also wrote a book, but I didn't resort to being that sort of lowlife. I really hope he was made prison bizatch.

Turpitz on the move, I'd have been interested. Why don't managers hawk their players if they're keen to sell? Rolling Eyes

Didn't realise there was a wider interest, was just looking to make some quick cash to beat the TM rise for Vega who's recently moved for £7m.

Dolph - did you update your FIFA to match the league teams? I ask as this week has 4 cup games alongside the league games, so if you were willing, you could do the cup games and ease the additional work landing on Hero

by Renege Wed 23 Jan 2019, 12:12 pm

I thought the Torpedo was TAB’s main man too!

by **Hero** Wed 23 Jan 2019, 11:00 pm

Going forward could people try to name their messages to include their team and their opponents. Just makes it easier for me at a glance to see if I have both sets and can play a game.

I didn't get round to it in the end, I got lost in getting all my s*** together for coming back to Oz. I could do a late update and do it, especially as it's the Cup and it doesn't matter as much, but the discrepancy could be problematic

But I have done now and will do so going forward

My pms are usually titled with a witty remark on my opposition

Last week it was Week 8 tactics vs Nads nonces

That's not witty. That's just factual

Basically Hero wanted you to put "Week 8: Bam's Bandits v Nads Nonces"

Would "Bummers" not get through the profanity filter?

The implication was "Bum Bandits", but more subtle.

Sorry too subtle for me. I need in your face blatant

by BamBam Thu 24 Jan 2019, 11:16 am

I prefer Bam's Bummers - the insinuation is that the opposition will be the ones getting bummed

Not exactly much danger of that for at least half the league, considering where you sit in the table... Run

by BamBam Thu 24 Jan 2019, 11:38 am

I prefer to pick on the weak and defenceless

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Thu 24 Jan 2019, 9:43 pm

Will get tactics done today, former overlord. Jetlag and settling in has me less than organised

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri 25 Jan 2019, 9:49 am

Hero - there's a player I want that appears to be in the game, yet I can't find him on Transfermarkt and his club on Sofifa is listed as "Paraguay."

Do they have a base of players for nations that are on the game?

by BamBam Fri 25 Jan 2019, 9:55 am

I would just go with 200k, that's what I did with one of my signings who I couldn't find on TM

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri 25 Jan 2019, 10:01 am

The value doesn't worry me, if he's found then I'll either pay up or demand a no fee release FIFA Challenge League Homepage II - Page 18 3933776953

. It's more that I have to play him this week cos both my keepers are injured, so the new signing needs to be an eligible keeper.

I've done a backup signing on the confirmation board so if Hero can't find him then I will put it on tactics to use the other

by **Afro** Fri 25 Jan 2019, 10:08 am

What did we decide on players not on FIFA

I have a target that is on the latest update, but not on the 10th Jan version. Can I sign him?

by BamBam Fri 25 Jan 2019, 10:13 am

Don't see why not, I've got 2 in my squad on the same basis

He's definitely not on TM. I did a search by his DOB on FIFA and he doesn't appear. I assume he is a fictional player, like the ones in the Brazilian league.

Therefore I say he is alright

by **Hero** Fri 25 Jan 2019, 12:13 pm

Had a slight niggling concern in regards to players not on FIFA atm but that may later appear.
The concern is that someone buys a player that when they then get added to FIFA they are over the cap by some margin. So for example there's an older player that's in a league not used by FIFA presently (Brazil or Russia etc), someone buys them and the player IRL transfer then to a league in FIFA and as a result an update then adds them in and they've got a value of 85.
What then?

by Fluxy Fri 25 Jan 2019, 12:15 pm

Sheep anyone?

by BamBam Fri 25 Jan 2019, 12:17 pm

Didn't we say something about the player having to be within the ratings cap to be eligible to play?

Happy to play Sheep

by Azzy Fri 25 Jan 2019, 12:22 pm

I can play sheep but am likely out for lunch until 1400...

by Fluxy Fri 25 Jan 2019, 12:53 pm

Answers to me by 1400, will do the answers following that, at some point this afternoon!

1. The FA Cup returns this weekend, name a Premier League side still in the competition?
2. There was a 'Super blood wolf moon' but can you name another phase of the lunar cycle?
3. In the cricket, England collapsed in Bridgetown, against the West Indies with only James Anderson's wicket remaining safe. But name someone who lost their wicket against the WIndies?
4. Name a type of bird?
5. Name someone that took a penalty and scored it, in the semi-final shootout between Chelsea and Spurs last night?
6. Commuters in Tokyo are being offered what for avoiding rush hour trains?
7. President Trump served a candlelit McDonald's dinner for the Clemson Tigers football team. But which Fast Food deserves to be served on silver platters?
8. Would you rather be the smartest moron or dumbest genius?

Q8 reminds me of the off topic section.
