Remaining budget + 25m for player drafts (max of 10 players allowed to be brought in each to have a max TM value of 10m). Players from English Premier League, Spanish La Liga and German Bundesliga are NOT allowed to be picked.

Then another 25m for the star player draft for a player worth a max of 20m on TM, any player upto this value is allowed

You can

My bids are in, 9 players and the star man.

I did 10 bids. Havent looked at SP yet

got my bids in, but not my star player yet as i want to see what sacrifices ill have to make in the draft, as i expect 3 of the players ive gone for to be wanted by about half the managers

and im not bothered which league im in

Gregers, who's yet to bid?

Yeah in reflection I should have waited to see who I get in the draft before going all guns blazing on my SP! Knowing me I'll realise I don't actually have a striker come the end of it.

I guess you can always change it later

Upfront is the only place I know I have a quality player, Leandro Damiao being £19.5m of the £43m valued Santos squad I paid £50m for. I think only Mandzukic and Doumbia are more expensive and available strikers!

And I expect Neilton's value to climb.

I'll let you know asap, snowed under at work at the moment

Zebs hasnt bid yet..

You're all jel of Kalou

sup, hoping to get at least 3 or 4 of the players am after, maybe shoulda bid higher but hey ho, dont (hope) no one goes for my star buy...

Damn, forgot you had Lille. Now my star bid of £25m for Kalou will be rejected

Given his TM value is 769.8m you'd have failed anyway

Forgot that some players may be taken due to people picking those clubs! Better check through them again!

I pretty much had to redo my list when CF picked QPR

surprised that i have gone for mostly youngsters lol

any chance we find out today or still a few to get lists in?

Gregers said he'd update us in a bit on who has and who hasn't bid yet.

Would Gregers lie for crack?

We don't think so

We should have had a deadline.

Where is Bianconeri?

No we shouldn't have had a deadline, if all but one team do a draft then the final team would be screwed for the season. No point in having that.

Mirante
Cassani-Paletta-Lucarelli-Molinaro
Gargano-M.Parolo
Biabany-Cassano-Jankovic
Amauri

got a pretty decent side as it is tbf

I'm here Viva.

I've been lurking, rather than posting today as I have been given a shed load of paperwork to stick in archive boxes

Then that team should make sure they draft a team before the deadline simple as. When you have a deadline at uni/work they don't wait do they if you miss it you're screwed. 

You said you wanted to come back to the league, I have a good Fernabache side here haven't done my drafts yet and let's see if last season sewwon ain't just a fluke.

I can vouch for that

A deadline would have been good I think

cant be that many still to pick?

cant be that many still to pick?

I dont see the rush

Only me to get player bids in.
I wont be doing that anytime soon. Sorting text for pages & stuff out.

get bored easily and will wander off and not come back lol

I just wanted my lot sorted for tonight as wont be on till tuesday like i said

Drafts in from:

Myself
Marky
Holymilky
Fan
Bianco
Tranq
Hero
Nando
GSC


So left to bid:
Zebs
Viva
CF (presumably going to buy only championship players...)

lrf not joining

So who do we think the most popular draft pick is then?

Zouma, Pirlo, Xavi probably

Not Xavi, he is not biddable on

Zouma and Pirlo are both very popular

oh aye sorry lol

I doubt many will go for ones i have hopefully

did you get my 2nd message yesterday by the way and was that ok?

Its fine fan, will be collating results tonight into excel

ok mate

So is this the new league?

It is LRF.

Fan, dont get bored, help make some pages & get the league running. Please.

you only have to ask

Yes this is Lrf... Did you not know before?

What's happening anyway? I've kept myself out of the way for the last week so you guys can get on with setting this league up, are we close? Is it running yet?

Xavi is biddable upon btw if you wish to use your star player slot on him.

What has actually happened to this league? I know I haven't been around much, but can someone update me with how this works please? Seems very confusing...

League will begin in earnest once player draft and star player drafts are complete. Team draft results were revealed on monday

So who am I the manager of?

What does the OP actually mean? You get £25m to spend on 1 star player that can be worth no more than £20m? What? What is the point in the extra £5m? Why not just assign every manager a player from the TM values that are worth £26.5m and then they take that off their original budget? Easier and less complicated.

You guys left him out

Im going to have a ton of cash left over after drafting. Have back up for star player aswell as suspect will have been out bid on that too   

Right well, I'll take over Viva's side then, if it isn't any trouble.

I have back up for star player but got a funny feeling with only 10 coming in the one i have gone for wont have another bid, therefore only bid what he is worth

might be wrong but hopefully not, my own fault if i dont get him
