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

Will answer questions later

if this league continues for more than one season then Zouma, berardi, Hughes Imo will all prove to be money well spent Imo, i have gambled before and been questioned but always been proved right

well most of the time lol

My team has a 8pm curfew, evening games are a no no.

I'll be honest, I'd be surprised if you saw a great return on Hughes. Looked at him but his value was way too high for the punt to be worth it

Steer clear of employing Felix Magath then.

One bad session and he'll have then training on a Sunday and missing the Holyoaks omnibus

Zouma you may see a return on because of his move to Chelsea. But his ratings may not go up until he is actually playign for them. Difficult to tell.

Berardi won't go up hugely until he returns and is playing regularly for Juventus.

Hughes will need to be playing in the Premier League to get a boost.

In all three situations, that'll be August at the earliest, which based on a 10 match season, is going to be the end of season 2/start of season 3 roughly

Some players worth a gamble, Hughes Imo is too much but ya never know

Im quite happy with what ive bought so far, been surprised at the quality left behind at the moment.

I've got a list of 5 players to sign in TP's as I couldn't fit them all in, as I had to focus on getting a decent first eleven for Week 1 they had to wait, surprised they're still available so far TBH.

Probably not a good sign im happier with my 2nd round bids then 1st   

If I get my 2nd round bids then I'll be totally overloaded with quality midfielders/wingers and still light at the back for injuries.

I've bought two people for 750k in the second round....

Still havent got a decent midfielder to go alongside biglia in yet! Keep being outbid!

I want to hear Viva's story with the taxi driver, the inflatable, the lobster and the KY jelly

See Zouma and berardi, you gotta remember no top players in the league and these are two outstanding youngsters doing it at the next level ie France, Italy so don't see why they wont do well now tbh

Fair point Fan

My top players are busting up a storm in the heady heights of the Belgian league, fear me!

There was no KY Jelly or Lobster or an inflatable bed. 

I'll tell the story in my next post.

Fan, you'll be fine.
These Leagues have more turned into finding the "next big thing" rather than having seasoned pros. Everyone may say its a gamble but all you have to do is look at the draft picks. Everyone but Nando bought at least one up and comming young talent.

And Viva

yeah ive decided id rather have established players bar 1 ive bid for in 2nd round which ive no chance of getting with Fan & Hero about

Only if that's how you choose to vote. If votes rate seasoned pro's higher than players who have done it for one season, then it won't be

But I agree with you

Oh yeah, sorry Viva for leaving you out.

Well going off last seasons league people have started voting more by the flavour of the month than actual longstanding quality. Based on that Fan will be fine, Hero will win the League & Cup double.

BOOOM Say Somthin Bizatches....I just sold to Mönchengladbach.

Last Friday we got a taxi, one of friends passed out. The driver said oh his knocked out, I said you can have him for the night as long as you bring him back tomorrow and give me 40 quid. He laughed and said ok, I thought he was joking he parked the car and said how much do you want, we got out the car sharpish with the passed out mate and called another taxi. 

Moral of the story, taxi drivers are rapists.

Well I just knocked one out in the toilet. But you don't see me going on about it.

Did you play golf at the same time?

I think you must have hit enter before you finished typing

Next day, I went rode taxis all day, pretending I'd passed out.

Bit of a uneventful story for you Viva. No miniture horses, chinese takeaways, no groping. Your standards are slipping pal. #You'veChanged

Marky wrote:Well I just knocked one out in the toilet. But you don't see me going on about it.

Thats because your toilet isnt on the same level as Mönchengladbach. May be Eintracht Braunschweig but certinatly not Mönchengladbach.

Everyone picked there star buy

Fan Gilhaus wrote:Everyone picked there star buy

Nah. I have a few options in mind but I need to see how I get on in 2nd & 3rd draft if we are doing one & if I need it.

Im off. Champions League is back. Hope tonights match is a good one.

Enjoy your evening all.

Had an amazon advert, the big coloring book of vaginas $11.95    There was also one for Whiskey or Bacon Lube   

those type of adverts use your previous browsing history  

I'm glad you can make a joke about it Afro, are you not scared that we have potential r***ist that will pounce given the chance. 

Haha pretending to be passed out. 

Nick yeah its pretty quiet recently, hopefully something wonderful happens. I'll let you know how I get on the weekend. Yeah CL tonight can't wait.

ps4 finally arrived, podgaldo for anyone that wants to add me

Hi all,

I just wondered with the bids, will we be able to choose who we accept into our squads? Or do we have to accept every player who we have bidded for and won?

Why would you bid for someone you don't want?   

Any places yet?

Sticking around for a bit. Knew this would happen to City tonight.

Fernando wrote:Why would you bid for someone you don't want?   

I didn't.

Everyone that i have bidded for, i would like them.

I just didn't expect to win the bid for Maxwell thats all and i forgot to take that into account for my second round of bids because the result wasnt announced when i did them. I'm not blaming anyone or anything i'm just saying the result wasn't certain at the time so i went ahead and did them anyway.

Barca bring on Neymar
City bring on Dzeko

Know which I'd rather have!

(This will probably bite me on the ass very soon)

I did the same Miky. If you have 11 players after the draft results then you would have to not have one, I think.

What, that Demichelis would concede a penalty that was outside the area? Yeah right...

Marky wrote:I did the same Miky. If you have 11 players after the draft results then you would have to not have one, I think.

Okay, thanks mate.

Or you may have gone in for two people in the same position to hedge your bets and ensure you get one but not want the weaker one if you get both.

Draft basically ready....

Nothing from CF at all

Because he got 10 players in draft 1!

Results going up now

Man City can take a lot of credit, they showed they can at least compete with the big boys. Very unlucky with that decision and still created despite being a man down. 

Embarrassed by United fans on Twitter, laughing at City who can go home with their heads held high. We'd probably lose by more then 2 even if it was 11 v 11.

Results for draft up, couple of big signings. Good under the radar signings. I still don't have a cm...

Gregers, just to clear it up, i have signed 9 players if im correct? From the drafts, including Maxwell.

Found a mistake Gregers.

You gave Fan Victor Andrade when he plays for MY Santos side already.

Will remove him Marky, well spotted

Holy, I apparently cannot count properly! Ignore that

It's perfectly fine mate, i just wanted to make sure that i had enough money and i hadn't gone over the limit thats all.
