Premier League Manager

Gregers...

Each team starts with a budget. You go onto each squad's pages and if you want one of their players, you either offer cash or a player exchange for their players. This is domestic transfers. If you want a player from a club not in the league such as Messi, you have to bid an amount you deem appropriate and wait for backers for this bid. Backers are 3 people who approve of the bid.

Each team puts their starting XI on their page. I will take that team each week and create match topics with both teams against each other. People then predict on the score they think would occur if these two sides met in real life. I then find out the average amount of goals scored after all predictions and this is the result.

Oh cool, the match part was something I was really struggling with before you explained it.

No worries mate.

Foreigns in an hour.

Don't forget to back others and to adhere to your limits. Plus, you have to confirm your transfer on HERE ten minutes after receiving your final backer, then on the confirmation page.

Is is restricted to 'signings' a day or bids. i.e. if i bid for three people and they all get outbid and i decide on other targets, can i go for another 3? or am i stuck with my first choices?

It's signings a day mate. You can make however many bids you want but the first 3 players who you receive 3 backers for you must have.

that makes sense, just wanted to check

Not sure about the idea of Bathite making loads of bids though and seeing which ones he gets....

No that's not what I meant. You're also not allowed to make another bid if you have an outstanding bid which needs backers so don't think that would happen Luke.

not planning on that mate, if anything im struggling on names and short on options!! footy knowledge not as extensive as rugby!

just didn't want to have a scenario where i had three targets and kept being outbid, but had to buy them for hugely overpriced values!

Right, time to draw up a list of targets

So do i put bids on here?

I'm going to attempt to cover MOT's foreigners as well.

Yes Andy.

There is going to be alot of refreshing to do with so many targets available....good luck all

It's going to be mental. Backing is the crucial bit, and will be even more crucial that people say what player and what manager they are backing

Your dead right, Luke

Please back the manager rather the player especially if more than one manager backs the player.

I have 5 targets but have no idea where to start from.

It is like being a kid in a candy shop with lots of money. You wouldn't know what to go for first... :run2:

Should I make a rule that the 'all bids backed' doesn't count as a backing to make people actually back?

I think given the amount of players available, I'd agree saying you have to be specific as to who your backing.

Im scared!

My laptop may die.

Candy shop time

Bathite

bring it ON!

its one bid at a time?

good luck everyone, let the madness begin!
