Couldn't quite tell whether playing Maicon at RWB screwed you because you thought he was an aging wing back or because he was a CB.

Unsurprisingly with you being Porto, you have the Porto Maicon, not the Roma and ex Inter, Man City, Monaco one. The one you has just had a really good season and is probably your best CB.

Well considering CF had him down as Maicon (RB) I assumed he was the one bale destroyed.....

Maybe trusting CF wasn't something I should do

CF is an idiot, so there's your answer.

Hmm and so am I it seems

I think taking a team, seeing Maicon (RB) on the teamsheet and assuming it was the RB, is reasonable.

Taking on Porto before any games have been played and seeing Maicon, without (RB) as CF would have done, then it seems most likely it would be the Porto Maicon.

Neymar went loco last night. Kicking players in the face with a football and trying to headbutt the opposition. Very bad role model.

True but when I looked through my team on TM to release players he popped up and I didn't even give it a second thought lol

Ah well an added bonus - might take my lawyer for martins indi now

It's difficult for me to do much transferwise as Barcelona though, because no matter what I do I can't win.

If I keep the squad the same, then I'm being boring and not building a side which is bad.

If I do transfers, it's very difficult to improve my starting line-up. I think I've definitely strengthened the defense and I prefer my midfield options.

Also got rid of that nasty piece of work that is Neymar.

Him & Vidal r bad boyz 4 lyfe at Juve.

Anyone selling a top keeper?

Imagine how bad Neymar would have been had he played in the 7-1 defeat at the World Cup

I'll sell one of mine Miky in a deal for Modric

Will use anyone except Neymar, Messi and Rakitic to get him.

Azzy wrote:Imagine how bad Neymar would have been had he played in the 7-1 defeat at the World Cup

Imagine if Neymar did play and instead of losing 7-1 they win 7-1 instead I'm sure in some parallel universe it did happen but not in our universe. It is the paradox of the space time continuum.

Guys, I've got a great idea for the league.

In each game, why don't we give each team a mark out of 10 for quality of tactics, team etc.

Then give each team the corresponding number of points in a fruit machine.

We then spin the machine to decide a winner.

But here's the trick, we don't even tell people their mark out of 10 so we don't know if we've done good or not.

I'm implementing it this week.

What does the winner get as a prize?

3 points. This is how the league will work from now on.

You don't have Neymar anyway do you Trebs?

Well you'll certainly not use Neymar, as he's in my team.

Yes I like it. But wouldn't that mean no more feedback from voters if all we're doing is giving a mark out of 10?

Is someone a bit fed up of the Fruitie?

Having looked through a lot of the tactics in this league, there are the occasional ones, where it is obvious that someone hasn't had much time to do them, but otherwise there isn't much between them.

I don't think anyone really stands out as being the tactics master of the league

I can't wait for the transfer window to reopen. I need to make more pointless signings to get my fill goddammit!

Guessing Trebs lost on JA this week

What! The Manchester Mandems lost? I had high hopes for them aswell.

Actually the result for that league aren't done yet, but his comments were based on the dispute on JA.

Mandems with Suarez, David Silva and Schweinsteiger don't have enough about them to win games...

Not enough 16 year old wonderkids

Closing the transfer window is not a good thing. I hope we don't use it in the next league.

I hate the window

Well the window is there so we participate in more interleague deals.

This was never meant to run longer then a season It was a stop gap for someone else's idea hence why you can sign people who've been lawyered (you can't sign someone you've lawyered)

So this is a defo one season league then?

When did that rule come into place? I never heard of it until now.

So are we starting a new league after this?

Decide at the end of the season whether to continue or not.

I did like the realistic league idea that was mentioned a week or two ago

Did anyone read the rule page

I had an idea that it could only just be one season.

Is anyone a whizz on making custom teams on FIFA?

Need to be more specific there Hero

I think this is what viva's talking about. It doesn't say anything about it on the rules page.

Lawyers:
Lawyers will happen every week. Two players will be enquired about.The offer will come from a real-life club and will either be a straight cash offer, a p/ex offer, or both (which only counts as one lawyer offer). All players lawyered out of the league will be available to other sides. You cannot re-sign a player you sold via TP's for profit.

(Example - Me selling Hummels for 40m then re-buying for 30m)

my bad. I though it would be under the 'transfers' section.

Cedric Soares to Southampton for around £4m to replace Clyne going for £15m

I feel this is going to be another inspired piece of business for Southampton - selling a star player for a big fee and replacing with someone who is actually better, for much less.

Cedric is quality as is Adrien Silva so hopefully he joins him at Southampton.

Fernando wrote:Cedric is quality as is Adrien Silva so hopefully he joins him at Southampton.

Could replace Schneiderlin. Slightly different styles, but would give them a bit more of an engine in there

Id expect Clasie to replace him honestly. Expecting Southampton to do well next year if get a forward tbh since Pelle goes in spells. I took your advice going on the Eye + Boat trip tomorrow

Enjoy! You're not meeting Azzy then?

Thoughts on this deal?

Branislav Ivanovic + Nicolas Otamendi to Real Madrid
=
Matteo Darmian + Sergio Ramos to Chelsea

My basis for losing Ramos is that I have Boateng, Chiellini, (and Otamendi), with Javi Martinez and Mascherano in my squad as well. And I improve my RB position.

Afro wrote:Enjoy! You're not meeting Azzy then?

I got dragged clothes shopping this morning cos were my mum's day off So would of been too late to do that

Personally id have used a different CB.

I prefer Boateng and Chiellini as my first choice partnership.

But I also factored in the fact I've already played Chelsea this season so it will more likely impact the sides Chelsea haven't played yet. Like Barca, Bayern, Arsenal and Juventus...

Nando goes clothes shopping with his Mum. I didn't realise Jacamo had a store on Oxford St.

Don't make me throw stuff from my boat at yours

Fernando wrote:Need to be more specific there Hero

What I was wondering was a league on here in which then the results are determined by those teams being built on FIFA and given the formation and whatever tactically you can do with them there. The matches would then be played by the console solely and people could watch live via Twitch.

Fernando wrote:Don't make me throw stuff from my boat at yours

I can picture another great British sea battle earning a place at Azzy's museum, as seats from an Embankment River Cruise get hurled at the dry docked Cutty Sark and an angry faced Canadian is pictured loading the cannons for retaliation
