Lawyers are TM value + 20% rounded UP to next £500k

But as GSC says, Marky does this weeks injuries as its a cup week

by Guest Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:17 am

Did everyone get tactics in this week?

by **Afro** Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:17 am

Yes, all tactics in on time this week I believe

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:23 am

Soddy, there was supposed to be some sarcasm dedected in there, the punishment being SHEEP should of flicked the switch for people but obviously did not.

Except, Koscielny can defend (he's clearly Arsenal's best centre back), Nagatomo is a better LB than Kolarov and Kolarov struggles defensively. Its not vote influencing, its footballing opinions.

Turn it into petty point scoring if you must, but it can't be a shock to you that Kolarov has only played well for Man City this season when playing at LM/LW.

Marky, Why So Serious!?!
Oh wait I know why, because Koscielny clearly isnt that good & some how you got lumped with Nagatomo Laugh

I dont know how that happened but dont be bitter because you got screwed into having a poop LB.

If Nagatomo was actually better than Kolarov is quit the league, lucky hes not.

Right, drop it. Wouldn't be the best way to start the week.

GSC - no worries

by Guest Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:28 am

I thought it was random injuries too...

This has to be the first week that all managers have handed in tactics, in any league I've ever been in. Well done lads clap

by GSC Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:28 am

Nothing like handbags on a monday morning

Injuries

Injuries shall be announced every week. 2 players shall be drawn at random from each club.

That'll be the source of my confusion haha

by sodhat Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:38 am

Well if it has been random till now then it should probably continue as thus.

Bye then

Koscielny and Hummels > Koscielny and Mertesacker/Vermaelen, so Koscielny isn't busy covering his partner's lack of ability.

Nagatomo is a decent LB, not the best by any means, but still better than Kolarov is. I like Kolarov, but he's not a good defender. Nothing to do with being so serious, I see this as a debate rather than handbags!

by sodhat Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:39 am

And GSC, get some Bengals tactics in before people vote. It's a free win there dammit.

by GSC Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:39 am

I'll name a lineup if you're fussed

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:39 am

I though that too.

Marky likes to try wum so Ill tell him how it is.

Koscielny and Hummels > Koscielny and Mertesacker/Vermaelen, so Koscielny isn't busy covering his partner's lack of ability.

NO,

Stop It! Koscielny is isnt that good.

by GSC Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:40 am

Its been random for their league, not for ours lol.

I'll change it up after the cup break

by sodhat Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:41 am

GSC wrote:I'll name a lineup if you're fussed

Of course I'm fussed, it's the super duper FAF league, the only one of it's type (on this site at least)

I hate defaults mucking it up and it's literally the only game without anything this week.

by **Afro** Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:42 am

Where has all the Nagatomo hating come from.

In my opinion, Nagatomo is a great player (better than Nagamoooto), equally effective at RB as LB, and also can put in the same performance DM.

I don't really get where the criticism he is getting comes from

by GSC Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:43 am

I'm not sure about him at RB, LB yeah, I'd have him over Kolarov.

Injuries is probably me getting it wrong then.

Random it is then

I dont tbf. Think the fact Cherries paid £16m for him developed the criticism.

by **Afro** Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:45 am

I haven't really noticed any difference in his performances wherever he is played tbh.

Thanks, GSC, you have bagged a win there I guess.

You are probably right.

It's a bit harsh though. Without actually looking, he is probably better than half the RBs, LBs and DMs in the league in their position.

He's certainly better than Zidane's DM

by Guest Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:51 am

I'd have Kolarov over Nagamootoo every time. NGMT is a good LB, but he's not in Kolarov's league offensively, and I think they're on a par defensively. Plus, Kolarov has been playing well for several seasons, Nagamootoo has come almost from nowhere the last couple.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:51 am

Thats because you're daft.

Sorry Cherries. CF paid £16m for him.

Oi, my "Ghost" DM without a doubt scaring people on a regular basis ghost

In a Zebs style...

You disagree with me? You must be a WUM Wink

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:55 am

Kolarov is pants. His defending makes Kyle Walker's look decent

by sodhat Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:56 am

Kyle Walker gets a lot of hate here too. I think he's been having a decent season, everytime I've seen him he's played ok.

by Guest Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:59 am

You hit the nail on the head there soddy - 'okay'. Last season he was 'very good', he started this season as 'good', and has regressed to 'okay'. An 'okay' which has involved some terrible performances. He was on the bench yesterday for good reason.

by sodhat Mon Mar 18, 2013 4:02 am

And Spurs lost Whistle

Spurs have been getting away with it all season though. They have played poorly in loads of games and gotten results so it's good that they're getting punished now. Hopefully Arsenal sneak back above them.

Anyone played much BAP on Fifa?

by GSC Mon Mar 18, 2013 4:03 am

I think Walker has been pegged back more this season, and while he isn't a bad defender, it isn't his strong suit. Playing a system that allows him to push further up should get him back to last seasons form.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Mon Mar 18, 2013 4:04 am

Kolarov is pants. His defending makes Kyle Walker's look decent

Grant Holt is pants!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Mar 18, 2013 4:08 am

Everton were brilliant on Saturday Afro. Even with 10 men, I thought they were the better side.

Pienaar lost his head though. He was lucky when he got his 1st yellow not to get another one for shouting at the ref

Thousands of fans have been rickrolling this, as Option L is your own selection, we need everyone to continue voting L and choosing Rick Astley "Never gonna give you up".

Football needs to come together.

No, problem is, if a team finish fourth they actually need to get through a "qualifier"

Everton seem to have a bit of trouble there.

Zebs - good going with the FUT tourney. I've played 6 games with Ramos as one of my 3 CBs, and he's scored 3 goals - all from open play Euro Division Homepage LIII 3559488474

Wondering who to save up for next - what do you think in my 3-5-2:

Neuer
Ramos - Hummels - Pique
Farfan - Schweinsteiger - Xavi - Iniesta
IF Holtby
Gomez - IF Mandzukic

Subs: Weise, Badstuber, Khedira, Blasz, Villa, Muller, Reus

I'm thinking Casillas to replace Neuer, then need an RM to replace Farfan. Apart from Ronaldo and Messi, not sure how to improve on that team after that?

I've voted!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Mar 18, 2013 4:14 am

Votes also sent to Afro

by **Afro** Mon Mar 18, 2013 4:15 am

Voted Marky. I really wanted to put the Pompey Chimes down, but went for Rick Astley.

Olly - they needed a fired up performance to bring the fans back on side. Pienaar was rightly sent off and needs to learn to keep his mouth shut. We got a bit lucky that it should have been a penalty when Fellaini handballed, but also Mirallas's goal was onside and also I thought it was a decent claim for a penalty when Nastasic stuck his arm out on Fellaini.

Fellaini missing for next two games and Pienaar for one. Most fans want to see Barkley and Oviedo given the chance, myself included, but I fully expect to see Neville and Naismith back in

Hey, 1 out of 1 doesn't really represent a broad sample.

And we lost to Villareal, who then reached the final that year, so we could easily have been the 3rd best team in the CL that year Whistle

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Mar 18, 2013 4:20 am

It's all still in Everton's hands as well (technically) as you gotta play all the teams round you I think?

You'll probably beat all them and go lose to Sunderland or someone like that
