Furious League

Are Fulham still available? If so then I may be interested... just would like to say I've never done any of these leagues so I don't know if thats okay.

Plus, does this league work similar to the other leagues on here? I only ask as Hodgey explained to me how his league works yesterday, how is this one different?

I LOOKED AT HODGE LEAGUE BUT I THINK THIS 1 EASIER MATE

Alright Gregers.

It will work pretty much the same way as Hodgy's. There are subtle differences, but nothing major.

You have your squad and each week, you post your team and tactics. Following Monday, we all vote on what we think the score would have been and Andy calculates the result based on those votes.

If your interested, you are very welcome. If you are unsure anyone in then league should be able to answer the questions.

One difference between ours and Hodgy's (I think) is that we are a realistic league. Therefore, any transfer targets from outside the league have to be realistic (ish). i.e. Messi is never going to join the league. Fulham finished bottom of the league last year, which will make it a challenge, but if you fancy it, then let us know.

Andy - what's up with the results? The matches don't seem to match the fixtures?

Randy I played Loserpool in game week 1 :S

I think it must be work in progress still as Fulham are on there twice

Smarts: Did you not see my score, 113!! Im ok, did play some pretty decent shots, got 3 pars and almost got to the green on a par 5 in 2 shots but just missed the green by about 5 yards. Putting is poor but almost sank a 20 footer down a hill which went about 2 foot past and skimmed the hole.

Results page is sorted, was just saving it as boss kept walking in

I'd like to give it a crack if thats okay?

Do we have foreigns like Hodgeys league? And how do transfers walk? Sorry for so many questions...

I am much worse than you Andy lol.

Greg I'm sure it's fine for you to try. Who do you support? If it's Man Utd your not allowed in the league!

Transfers work like this:

WHHHHAAAAA GWWWAAAAN BATTYCRESES

Im a Chelsea and Brighton fan smartestgooner. Hope thats okay, I'll give this a crack then. Any tips from people on how to get started?

Andy, that Gun Game on the wager match is ok you know, just the first pistol annoyes me. Ive never really played that one a lot, usually play Sharpshooter.

Gregers, join up mate, quality League founded by yours truley.

Oh, I also forgot to welcome the Bear.

Bear, welcome to the league.

nick thanks for welcoming me, I'm going to join

What do I need to do first? Shall I copy and paste the current squad into a new topic and then look at some transfers after lunch/do I need a new sponsor?

Yeah copy the current Fulham page they already have chosen a sponsor.

Is anybody going to keep a top scorer list this season?

Andy, nice one for doing results. Can you change the scorer for Everton though, Bent is fine put I don't have a player called Parker?

Sorry for lack of activity, I will bid for players later.

Welcome to the league Gregers

Chelsea enquired for Nasri? Seems like Arsenal may sell to highest bidder.

I definately think they will sell to the highest bidder Viva, shame that he wants to leave but if he does then hopefully we can get a good price as I feel Clichy was probably on the cheap side.
Gibbs will be 1st choice LB for Arsenal next season.

Chelsea are only doing it to try stop us, if they wanted him they would of made it clear from the start, same as Man City.

Gibbs will be 1st choice on the treatment table
Smarts, are you not one bit worries about Arsenil at the moment?

Can I just enquire as to whether my transfer enquiries were written up properly?

Also a chelsea side with both Nasri and Modric in would be brilliant

Worried? Not really Nick. Some fans might panic but Arsenal were very close to winning something last season and I don't think there needs to be that many changes.
It's a shame players want to leave as I think Arsenal were on the verge of something special and this might set us back a season. But would I be worried of playing Gibbs over Clichy, not really.

I don't mind if Fabregas & Nasri leave if we get a good price. One player I really want us to sign is N'Zogbia as a replacement for Arshavin and ship him back to Russia or keep him for impact sub. But I doubt that will happen.

Arsenal were very close to winning something last season - AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Carling cup yes but you were not close to any major honurs. HAHAHAHAHAHA

I think Arsenal were on the verge of something special - AHHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHA, Smarts you should do stand up! You've been on the verge of "something special" for 6 years according to deluded fans like you.

Viva, you'll back me on that one wont ya.

Who thinks Arsenil are on the road to becoming the new Liverpool aka Joke of the "Big Boys"........."on the verge of something special" is he new "next year is our year"



Smarts you kill me

A great result! Thanks for not submitting Nick, made my hardest game of the year much easier!!!

Andy - can I have two goalscorers for my game. My strikers are on a goals bonus.

And please can someone draw 2 injuries each for Sunderland and Everton as me and Smarts can't really. If not, we might have to go with no injuries for our teams.

Arsene Wenger built his team in a totally different way to the other big clubs and unfortunately a few players want to leave before the project is complete. Do I think Arsene Wenger is better than any other manager in the EPL? Yes, but as there is no level playing field it can be argued either way. How would Jose Mourinho/SAF do with a much smaller budget etc we don't know?
But you asked if I am worried about Arsenal? No, do I have any reason to be?

There are weaknesses in all the other top 4 teams, Man Utd lack a central midfield and have lost key players in VDS, Scholes.

A lot of the Chelsea spine is knocking on.

Man City are looking good but their manager is to conservative.

No worries from me

Arsenal IMO will do well to finish in the top 4 if they lose Cesc and Nasri. Infact make that just Nasri who IMO was your best player by a mile last season

Gregers - you also have two lawyers offers.

Lawyers offers are offers for your players from clubs outside the league. You can choose to accept or reject them, but there is no negotiation. They are normally posted on a Monday and you have until the end of Wednesday to accept or reject.

Yours haven't been answered yet, so you can still choose to sell if you wish.

https://www.606v2.com/t6984-furious-league-lawyers

Cheers, done the lawyers now

Also - the other thing to consider when buying and selling is that we have a cup competition.

In the cup, you select a starting XI that must have 3 British players and 3 U21 players (born on or after 1st July 1990) - these can be the same three players. Worth bearing in mind before you sell any British or U21 players.

The cup is over 4 rounds, with the prelim next week, although you have a bye to the quarter finals

Question - How do transfers from English sides work? i.e. if I wished to buy a player from a prem side not in the league or a championship side

They will be treated as a Transfer Pending.

Essentially you have 2 types of transfer.

Domestic - with teams in the league, and can happen anytime
Pendings (also called foreigns) - with any team outside of the league. Monday to Wednesday, 3 a day.

Someone take Nihat off my hands!

Gloucester - I'll give you one of my Branston Pickle Pork Pies for Nihat?

I live in Monmouth, so you can come and collect it in an hour

Why on the league bit does it say my name is Cheggers? Its Gregers lol

Get used to the nicknames!!

PineappleHead is more regularly referred to as MelonHead, and even Meloncock once.

You might hear Nick or Viva called Lotionboys. Don't ask, it's just they're little private agreement.

lol okay

Afro, dont thank me, thank my boss. So annoyed, if that was anyone else you the rules would of got bent and tactics would of been allowed. I am being victimized like Andy did after he won the 1st season and how Viva usually does.

Smarts, you really do make me laugh.
"Arsene Wenger built his team in a totally different way to the other big clubs and unfortunately a few players want to leave before the project is complete." - What is his project.......Youth Policy, No Spending on Proven Players, Not having an Influential Figure to help youth.

Dont you think Wengers gone a bit off the mark now? Its good to bring up youth, Man United do.

I find it quite pathetic how YOU always use the "money" excuse but how SOME Arsenil dans bleat on how Arsenil make the most money in the league, are the richest club and all that BALLS.
Manchester United have worked very hard at marketing the club over the last 15-20 years which have made them the valuable SPORTING club in the world.

End of the day SAF is hands down better then Wenger, no argument.
Did SAF have tonnes of money at Aberdeen??
Take first 13 years SAF had at Manchester United and its better then Wengers 13 years to date. Go check on it, Honours and the way the Club has developed.

Deluded Gooner

I'm pretty sure noone mentioned on Monday except you said that you couldn't submit and gave me the default win.

Someone take Nihat off my hands! - is Nihat becoming the new Tuncay (who remembers that???)

Greggers, nicknames happen. PineAppleHead is also refered to as LikeToGiveHead-ToMen.
BigFellasAfro doesnt really have an insulting one, just FroMan. Then again I could call him..........LovesBigFellasPubicAfros.
SmartestGooner is called NotSmartestGooner, DeludedGooner (personal fav).

lol, Afro, if I mentioned it people would complain. Honestly, if I said my boss was on it, would you of let me submit?
All it would of done is cause an argument. AND as the founder of this league I must set an example.
I expect consistency now

You now my regimes are strict ones.

There will be no allowing late tactics submissions again.

The tactics window closes at the end of Friday. The bolt is slammed down, the padlock locked, the shutters drawn and Viva stationed on the outside as guard.

Nothing will get in.

And please could someone just pick two injuries each for Everton and Sunderland

BBC Gossip

Arsenal will tell Samir Nasri he is going nowhere. Even a bid of £25m for the midfielder - who is a target for Manchester United, Manchester City and Inter Milan - is unlikely to be enough to change their mind.
Full story: Daily Mirror

This is why I dislike Arsenil and why the hate for them is growning. They want £25m for a player with 1 year on a contract.
I hope Nasris goes nowhere and then talks to top clubs in Jan and leave for free. Arsenil dont deserve him

Give me two numbers between 1 and 25 inclusive

Smarts, Nick just killed you. Why are you still making excuses for Wenger? What project? Didn't Ronaldo leave while Ferguson was making his plan, didn't Rooney want to leave as well? Didn't Tevez leave? Ferguson knew how to handle it and had a plan B when plan A didn't work, selling Ronaldo and buying Valencia and Hernandez. He can move with the times.

Does it really take 7 years? An how were you close to winning something? Yes Carling Cup but your team needs to get over it's annual collapse and actually fight till the bitter end. I like Arsenal, nice team technically best team in England and would kill every team if they all played attacking Football. But I don't like moaners and excuse makers, Smarts probably say " We didn't win the title because I broke my toe" shut up boy.

Afro I see you've tried to murk me when I'm not around to impress your girlfriend Cheggers, Andy won't like being cheated on!!!!

I'm make my T.P now

You love the banter Viva. You just like Azzy really, but the banter keeps you coming back.

Afro, 2 and 24.

Viva, well said, No Plan B for Wenger...........or Smarts haha

Thanks Nick.

Anyone want to do the Everton or Sunderland injuries?

Loserpool agree fee with Blackpool for Charlie Adam

What do people think of this deal I was offered

A young + clichey + caroll + 10mill
=
Lennon + coentrao + benzema

Are you guys deluded or what Fergies time in charge of Man Utd has consisted of him having more money than any other manager in the early years. How many british transfer records did Utd have? Roy Keane, Andy Cole, Rio Ferdinand etc
His first 13 years he chucked money at the team like no tomorrow, how many signings did he make.
I'm not saying this is a bad thing, I'm saying you can't compare a manager who has unlimited resources to one who is restricted.

Money is generally linked to success in football, would Chelsea/Man City be where they are now without the cash? Before their sugar daddys that would be laughable.

Nicks life is taken over by Arsenal FC he is obsessed by them more than me lol he lets it wind him up so bad haha.

My valuations are:

Young = £15m
Clichy = £7m
Carrol - £15m
+ £10m
TOTAL = £47m

Lennon = £12m
Coentrao = £16m
Benzema = £22m
Total = £50m

You would be left with 1 better player and 2 worse players, but £10m to spend.

I wouldn't do it myself

I think Clichy is better than Coentrao to be honest and he is worth more than £7M in todays market.
