I've updated the results above.

Will try and do the full results, table etc at lunch today

by TwisT Wed 10 Apr 2019, 9:43 am

I've changed my mind, lets finish the season now Laugh

I look forward to watching my game and then I get that drivel from my side. I would have been sacked way before now.

by **Hero** Wed 10 Apr 2019, 10:36 am

Think the length of the games now (5 mins a half) has got the right balance of scores for realism.

by **Afro** Wed 10 Apr 2019, 10:47 am

Open to offers of TM value and above on most players as considering a change of approach.

The only probably off limits is Laribi, although still could be tempted

by Take a boo Wed 10 Apr 2019, 11:45 am

Similar to the above I'm open to selling a fair few of my current first teamers...

Kasper Hamalainen - £540k - 70 (71 at ST + CF)

Mathieu Coutadeur - £630k - 70 (71 at AM + CM)

Worth adding to this to here. For Daniel James and Karlan Grant, I would sell, but only for what their lawyers values will be in season 2 (£2,970k and £2,475k)

by TwisT Wed 10 Apr 2019, 1:50 pm

Tactics sent Bam. Good luck mate

Did think about posting them here as a conversation starter ("Why Cheltenham Town are sh*t. Discuss.")

by Azzy Wed 10 Apr 2019, 3:55 pm

Tactics done, off for the rest of the week, have a blast peeps FIFA Challenge League Homepage III - Page 11 3559488474

Just sent mine too. Good luck Ok!

Reverted back to my old favourite formation from before FIFA days

by TwisT Thu 11 Apr 2019, 3:42 pm

Just been checking out different players on sofifa.

I looked at Aliendro as I am doing a deal with Afro and his is a bit laughable.....it is either 71,72 or 73 across every position #allrounder

Just wondering if this is the norm or if he is a bit of a freak?! Pogba is kind of like that but going by his overall rating of 88, he takes a hit of 16 if you decide to play him at CB. Is there any higher rated players that is or near abouts their overall rating in every position?

I am guessing we are looking at those that are cam/cm/cdm players.

by **Hero** Thu 11 Apr 2019, 5:04 pm

Renege, I've just bought Lewis Ferguson, have you seen much of him?

by Renege Thu 11 Apr 2019, 6:44 pm

Was on my list! He’s a great all rounder, comparable style to Gerrard probably as the obvious as he’s attacking but gets stuck in

by **Afro** Thu 11 Apr 2019, 7:22 pm

I meant to ask the same question about David Turnbull.

Wondering whether I’ll realitically get a FIFA rating increase from him

by Renege Thu 11 Apr 2019, 8:40 pm

Not seen as much to be honest but think he's similar, he was sloppy last weekend against us but obv had a great season! Should increase but would be very surprised if he went above 70

by **Afro** Fri 12 Apr 2019, 9:34 am

Right I'm on holiday next week, so can someone take care of injuries and lawyers for me on Tuesday.

by **Hero** Fri 12 Apr 2019, 10:10 am

More holidays than me!
Although I'm also on hols next week, albeit just at home with the kids.

First break since Xmas! Doing the same as you, 10 days for the price of 4

I'm in west wales, so will be on my phone. Will get on my laptop at some point to do tactics, but not able to do tactics and lawyers.

by Trebs Fri 12 Apr 2019, 11:23 am

I'll be in work so will do injuries and lawyers Tuesday kunchtime

Assuming there'll be games over Easter hero? If not I won't bother

by **Hero** Fri 12 Apr 2019, 11:37 am

Yep there will be games over Easter!

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri 12 Apr 2019, 12:29 pm

I can do injuries and lawyers as I have no life

by Marky Mon 15 Apr 2019, 10:11 am

Apologies, but I'm going to leave the league immediately. I've been struggling to enjoy this, even with the ease of tactics these days, and I just have too much going on. I'm dealing with personal issues, on top of working full time, on top of looking for a new job, so this has gone right down the list of priorities for me.

It's probably been noticeable with the constant late tactics that I've struggled, so it's probably best to be upfront about it.

by Azzy Mon 15 Apr 2019, 10:15 am

Really sorry to hear that Marky - don't stop coming here and posting though! kiss

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 15 Apr 2019, 10:23 am

Can we kill Olly now and shorten the season?

by Azzy Mon 15 Apr 2019, 2:43 pm

I'd say that's best Dolph, and will allow Hero to have another week to catch up while we re-do the fixture list.

by Marky Mon 15 Apr 2019, 5:59 pm

Dolphin Ziggler wrote:Can we kill Olly now and shorten the season?

Then you could take his team out of the league too!

by Trebs Tue 16 Apr 2019, 12:32 am

Won't have time to do injuries and lawyers as I said I would - the night shifts don't leave me with time on the computer.

Sorry.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue 16 Apr 2019, 9:10 am

I'll do em

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue 16 Apr 2019, 9:27 am

I haven't checked the fixtures so I'm just gonna do all the injuries but my own

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue 16 Apr 2019, 9:44 am

And done.

Want me to look at removing Crawley and MK Dons from the fixtures?

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue 16 Apr 2019, 9:48 am

Scratch that, I have no idea when we started doing the second half of the season, so no idea who has played who. It's been edited from the results page too

by TwisT Tue 16 Apr 2019, 10:17 am

Thanks Dolph. It is a bit quiet on here.

You do you think will be the stand out player next season? CHO aside of course!

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue 16 Apr 2019, 10:21 am

There's a few who have picked up gems, there's definitely a few Hudson-Odoi equivalents. The fifa 20 release could throw a spanner in the works too

by TwisT Tue 16 Apr 2019, 10:27 am

Name the few?

I have tried to buy for Fifa 20 as best I can.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue 16 Apr 2019, 10:46 am

I can't remember who caught my eye the other day that I thought was a nailed on gamechanger next season. Karlan Grant probably won't get the upgrade he deserves, but he's looked comfortable in the Premier League. Plenty of the young Norwich lads look very good, but maybe a year too soon to be devastating.

Yan Valery has become a Prem regular with ease.

by TwisT Tue 16 Apr 2019, 10:59 am

Yeah I am glad I picked him up....Edu Exposito has potential but ingame he was not very good. Nacho Mendez was another one that could be massive but again was a bit too lightweight. They both have the stats to go north of 75 though.

I'm hoping with Alberto Moreno going to Lazio that 'pool might go with Adam Lewis.

Are you hoping Todd Cantwell might get an upgrade now he is PL material?

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue 16 Apr 2019, 11:21 am

Ben Godfrey would be the one to go big, but mine are all minor movers, I think

by Marky Tue 16 Apr 2019, 11:29 am

Of my Crawley squad, I had the highest expectations of Arijanet Muric and Hamza Choudhury, Muric especially seems to have overtaken Clownio Bravo as City's backup keeper

by TwisT Tue 16 Apr 2019, 11:34 am

Difficult to tell isn't it.

Looking at CHO, he hasn't had the upgrade I thought he might. Obviously his cash value has soared but he is only still a 71. Cash value aside I would rather have Hamza Choudhury myself.

You would probably cash in on that 22m I would have thought. There are other players better currently and that cash could get you at least 3 players around 75. Depends if Fifa 20 gushes over him and he hits the 80 mark but then would you still keep him if the players around him aren't much cop?

by Marky Tue 16 Apr 2019, 11:54 am

I probably shouldn't sell my players as I'm leaving, I'll leave that up to Hero if he has no issue with it, but I suspect you'll have to wait

Pick your Barcelona XI from the Champions League era.

Bit of fun.

I went with;

Ter Stegen
Alves - Puyol - Pique - Van Bronckhorst
Iniesta - Busquets - Xavi
Messi - Ronaldo - Ronaldinho

Christ, that's some squad to choose from Shocked

I went:

Valdes
Zambrotta - Koeman - Nadal - Alba
Rivaldo - Guardiola - Iniesta
Messi - Villa - Laudrup

Leaving out Ronaldo, Romario, Ronaldinho, Neymar, Suarez, Xavi, Figo and Jose Maria Bakero was tough.

by TwisT Tue 16 Apr 2019, 12:19 pm

That's insane. I wanted to play 4-2-3-1 with Messi as a number 10 so I could get Zlatan as 9. Wouldn't let me and you can't leave Messi out!

In the end I went for something stupidly attacking.

Ter Stegen
Pique - Puyol - Mascherano
Rivaldo - Xavi - Toure - Iniesta
Messi - Ibrahimovic - Ronaldinho

I would happily swap Iniesta with Toure and then replace him with Fabregas or Deco or Figo.

Play 3-2-5 and just drown the opposition in goals

by TwisT Tue 16 Apr 2019, 1:34 pm

My team for next season:

Rodak
Taylor - Ramírez - Campos -Purita
Anuar - Kamara
Skov Olsen - Aliendro - Rodriguez
Grant

It is the front four I'm pinning my hopes on! Though that CDM partnership isn't bad

by BamBam Tue 16 Apr 2019, 1:38 pm

Jesus those options

I ended up with

-------------------Ter Stegen
Alves------Koeman-------Puyol-------Alba
------Rivaldo--------Xavi----------Laudrup
Messi--------------Ronaldo---------Ronaldinho

by Marky Tue 16 Apr 2019, 2:06 pm

I was desperate to try and justifiably pick Phillip Cocu ahead of Xavi but I couldn't Laugh

by Renege Tue 16 Apr 2019, 2:52 pm

Unless Azzy is short for Azzurri what are you playing at picking Zambrotta???

I picked pretty much the same as Marky but with Valdes, made a mistake should’ve gone 3 at the back and put Rivaldo in

by Azzy Tue 16 Apr 2019, 3:33 pm

He was a much better player than Dani Alves, and Puyol was much better at CB than RB. Couldn't justify picking Albert Ferrer, so Gianluca the Bazooka was my guy.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Tue 16 Apr 2019, 3:40 pm

Loved Nadal, but think I’d have to have him behind Puyol and Pique

by Marky Tue 16 Apr 2019, 3:54 pm

Thing is, you could pick a backup XI, and that XI would still beat most sides in today's era
