First topic message reminder :

Marky wrote:Fan may have sent his to Zebs though. Strong feeling Zwag didn't submit anything. Anyone have an issue with Viva doing some tactics on Zebs' behalf? I don't but then it might be unfair on Trebs.

It's got to be entirely up to Trebs to be completely fair

Sorry lads, busy today and this weekend.

If anything is to happen, we should sort it on Monday. I still think the fairest way is to do what we have done on every other occasion when a manager hasn't posted tactics and postpone the game. Changing the rules so i play against some other manager isn't fair and I won't accept it.

Tbf the other manager idea was in the absence of zebs doing tactics. We haven't had a default win all season and it seems a shame to have one last week in such an important game.

But I agree we should wait and see about Zebs doing some and / or my game with Nando as it could be irrelevant anyway

No-one's voted yet so just wait until Zebs does some tactics.

Right then, I believe this is the last (or second to last) round of the league then?

This is strange? I was hoping to log on this morning, couldn't. So I thought I have been kicked off the site. I now can not post on the Football board. Does this now man I resume on the Sports Gaming board only as part of this 'challenge' as proposed? Well, either way, I'm up for it! Bring it on!

Morning 

Who watched the Super Bowl? Broncos 94 haha what a fat arse.

Heerrrrrreeee's  Triple Z!!!!!

What up lads. Soddy, tried those Belgium beers, my heck what do they put in the beer there....I was terrorising so many people. There so friendly, they just take it a a joke & get on with ya.
Some geezer had a 3000 Euro hybrid push bike (or something mad) so me & mate kept asking him if I could take it out for a spin. One of us would distract him while the other would start walking over to it (as a laugh, we wernt going to take it) & all you would here is "Noooone..... Noooone........ nooo your bicycle you cant".   did this like 10 times before he clocked on we were winding him up, he laugh & took it well & continued to speak with us so fair play to him.

Ill write some tictacs now.

Morning Nick 

What would you have done if he knocked you out, what if he was related to Van Damme.

Alright, give me till the end of today and I'll put some revised tactics up

Tactics are in,sent to Marky.

What would you have done if he knocked you out, what if he was related to Van Damme..

He wouldnt of, hes a friendly guy. All the people were.
We were watching the footie & this one group taught us a Belgium song, footie song so we thoguht. We started singing it & I kid you not this whole cafe bar was laughing at us. So we asked the girl behind the bar what it ment, something like were going to drink lots more then have gay sex. So even though we were terrorising people & having a laugh they were doing it back.
If that was England some guy would start a fight.

That's true, you get people in England going out just to start a fight. Big cities are not safe.

Its just peoples mentality here sucks.
My mate was sneaking upto tables of girls & scaring them, theyd jump, laugh, engage in conversation. Not a single one slapped him or took any offence. Some were encoraging him to go do it to another table & then laughing when it happened.
If you did that down the pub someone would start a fight with you.
People just seemed more relaxed & up for a laugh.
Maastricht in Holland & Leuven in Belgium are easily two of the best places Ive been in Europe.

Zwag don't have any injuries?

No one did any for me.

Also sent some tactics (revised) to marky.

If you've both done tactics just send them to me and I'll post them on tactics page. Don't know when Marky will be on and gives others chance to do tactics.

Done

Go for it Viva. I'm here on mobile so tactics would go up later, the sooner tactics are up the sooner everyone can vote.

Waiting for Nick.

Zwag v Lille is up. To those yet to vote, please do so via PM to me. To those who have already voted (Tranq and Afro), could you please resend your votes with results for all games please? Thanks.

No feedback needed as such as there's no more games, but scorers and reasons behind each scoreline would be nice.

Anyone up for a transfer deal?

Why would we do that? The league is over, transfers don't matter. 

Have we got numbers for the new league.

Zlatan + Carrick = Lukaku + Verratti
ENQ

I'm open to selling Robben and Subotic. I don't like Subo's hair, whilst Robben is bald and as we all know, all great footballers have great hair.

What footballer has the greatest hair?

Past - Carlos Valderamma
Present - Vidal of course

Your lying Afro.

I'm not

Marky wrote:Zlatan + Carrick = Lukaku + Verratti

Add Heskey & we may have a deal

Afro wrote:Past - Carlos Valderamma

Valderamma yes but you cant tops this:

Spoiler:

It doesn't get any better then that   Just imagine Viva with that hair #CoolAsACat

Sorry. No deal. Deal's off because you got too greedy.

Anyway, the answer is of course;

David Luiz.

How many other centrebacks can score world class goals and also have salon quality hair?

Afro so you would have Vidals hairstyle or Valderamma? 

Taribo West, I remember Football Italia doing a section on him and he showed them some Voodoo stuff in his back garden.

Luisao?

Viva, that haircut + your tash is a winner. You'd be a sexual predator.......

Is that his back garden in Derby?

I would go for a Vidal/Valderamma combo, with a big Afro, but just on the top of my head. Like Darrent Williams

Hi all,

I'm just wondering when we are going to decide on the new league situation and when it's going to start?

Also ZZZ, I will link my teams I have been using on Ultimate team since yesterday, they are amazing.

Nice one Milky.

I too would like to know new leage details.
Im eager to set up.

At the moment, it seems that it is just all the managers asking each other when the league will start and what format.

Not sure anyone has actually taken charge to make a decision.

No it was in Italy when he was at Inter, unless that was a joke that went straight over my head. 

Haha Nick my tash is coming along nicely, I love it, it's getting thicker and darker. I reckon you shot keep a tash, only a women ha snow facial hair. 

This week should be starting the new league up, get the managers, rules regulations, teams, budgets etc.

I am happy to take charge of making decisions...

Option A)
Draft Players. Three drafts

Draft 1 - No players from prem, bundesliga, la liga - £100 million, max player value £10 million
Draft 2 - Players from any league - £25 million, max players value £10 million
Draft 3 - Star Player auction - £25 million budget, max player value £20 million

No redrafts

Option B)
Draft Teams. Draft until everyone has one. Two player drafts, no redrafts.

Draft rules -
Max team value of £125 million outside of Prem, Bundesliga, La Liga
Max team value of £100 million within Prem, Bundesliga, La Liga

Player draft 1 - Additional £25 million for player draft. Max player value of £10 million
Player draft 2 - Star Player draft, £25 million budget. Max player value of £20 million


N.B. Star player draft money left over only available to be used for in league deals

So then, is this the new league homepage? I have plenty of spare time, would you like me to take care of the homepage? I'll be easy to update it and I'll keep updated with any changes like.

Oh when exactly is the league ready to get going?

This does sound quite confusing. How I'd run a Draft League (unless I've misread the quote) is that I'd filter 1 player that has a transfermarkt.com value of £26.5m (or something between 12 members or less) and that is their club captain for the season. Then, using transfermarkt.com values, you can only sign players that have a value of £10m or less, that is in the 1st season/until the midway point (like the January transfer window). Then you increase the embargo to £20m and then to £30m and so on until you go over to £110m where no player goes above that. Now the only problem is, transfermarkt values chop and change all the time, however, as long as they are signed for under the embargo price, then that is just fair play, that is good enough. I've read up a lot on Rules from Ja (sorry - if I'm promoting - which I don't think it is?) and from reading rules from past leagues on here. It has also helped me gather a sound knowledge on leagues itself. That is just my personal intake on a Draft League/Unrealistic League - but, it doesn't have to be used. But I'd be happy if it was discussed and taken into consideration by the panel who will run the league and help on decisions. I'd also say, that there should be 3 members of the panel - if there is to be one. People that can decide with decisions in and around the league. If this was to happen, vote between the members I say. My votes would be, Marky (as he has past running experience and a sound knowledge of all of the Euro Division), Gregers (as from looking as his profile, very well known and liked and is determined to help with the running and clearly knows what he is talking and about) and finally I'd say the 3rd member should be Afro (as he has also run this Eyro Division in the past and has plenty of experience and knows what he is doing also) and I do feel they make a really good team together. Not saying anyone else wouldn't do as good a job, this is from just what I've heard and read up on so please, anyone else who thinks they want to be a panel member, don't take it to heart, it is only a suggestion of 3 possible members.

They were just my views on this league. Thanks.   

No idea why people accuse you of trying to take over

Indeed.

Sorry. :(I'm not interested in running it or anything like that, I'm just putting a suggestion out there.

Not sure how its confusing and tm values chopping and changing are part of what makes this league interesting. Bit confused by yours though!

I don't think we should have any players above 30 million in the league at any point otherwise the team with Messi or Ronaldo will always win

I'm more than happy to help run the league, along with other long standing managers

Gregers i am happy to help out for example posting tactics, i would be able to post them in the evenings.
