The Locker Room Chat

This time around, everyone gets £1m. There was a mix up on timings, Bam got himself banned and all sorts.

See it as the first round of musical chairs and next week we remove a chair (Credit Hero for that gem)

By the way, the rules now state it but in future it will be £500k for voting and £500k for tactics on time.

So the people who got tactics in on time get no extra bonus over the people who didnt?

No, everyone gets £1m this week.

In future if either are late, no bonus.

Olly im not sure if you are aware by the way, the results are split between, so its out of 23 for away team and 25 for home team points wise.

tactics will be late tomorrow been snowed under at work this week apols

They aren't due until Friday Olly but if u can do them tomorrow then that would be nice.

After an attacking midfielder/winger guys <ok>

Just a daily reminder that tactics are due tomorrow at midnight. If they aren't in before then, bonuses will not be given out. I know its still Thursday but just letting everyone know.

Thanks Miky

No worries mate, happy to help.

Mine will be Sunday cos work tomorrow/Saturday.

Where are all the JA guys ain't seen them in ages.

They're around, more on the Facebook chat to be honest. You should join back mate if you can, league stuff gets put in there as well.

Can you not get any tactics in tonight Nando?

theres a fb chat

Yep, if you PM me your FB Olly i can get you in if you want?

I'm just Oliver Inwards mate add me in I'll do some memes every now and again

I've assumed Miky is getting tactics again, let me know if its meant to be someone else!

It is me, PM for you Bam.

I've resent, but think including the names of my starting 11 in the word count is dumb

If i have loads of dutch players called Van der something or the other I'm penalised !!

Or just miss out the vans?

200 was set so people dont take the piss being brutally honest. Including everything helps consistency in case any action needs to be taken. I could have also not told you Bam.

Can't wait to sign Virgil Dijk

Well including the line ups and bench in that is pointless, and I would have said that if it was brought up

I would just like to say that I agree with Bam

OK.

Myself and Hero have talked about the tactics issues being discussed today.

We have decided to compromise and go with the following and this will be added to the rules immediately:

Injuries in tactics WILL BE optional but if they are then they will NOT count towards the 200 word limit.
Formations in tactics ARE NOT optional but WILL NOT be counted towards the 200 word limit.
A Substitute Bench IS NOT optional and WILL NOT be counted towards the 200 word limit as long as there are no instructions within that section.
The rest beyond that WILL be counted, so an explanation of how you want to play and any substitute instructions will need to be within the 200 word limit.

Oh this is from NEXT WEEK not this week. Just so you all know.

Tactics sent. Bang on 200 words. Ok miky?

Yep, thanks mate.

Have you and hero discussed the injury rule yet? The one where no same player can be injured 2 weeks in a row.

It's in the rules now.

We have decided that it can happen but i've put in there about if it gets ridiculous and a player is constantly injured then we would redraw them of course.

We agreed on that because we could have been a lot harsher with squads and haven't been, we also want to encourage deals where possible and if we can. This is an option.

If i don't have the last set of tactics once it hits midnight, i will post tactics without the last game which will be a default loss.

What is the deadline for results with the new system?

It's supposed to be tomorrow night, but might have to extend it because being honest, i doubt we will get all results in tomorrow night and the tactics haven't been posted yet of course.

Think you should be a bit harsher about missing deadlines after this week, tbh.

Sent my results to Miky.
I'll get cracking on injuries now so ensure your team sheets are updated x

Ill do mine later - Might want to add instructions for voting since people are nonces.

oh yay injuries 2 weeks of Pulisic injured now 2 weeks of Jonas

I did add the instructions to the tactics page, the format is important to save me time and its so much easier to understand for everyone.

Votes required from - Bam, Olly, Tino, Lubo and Fluxy

Yeah, will do mine after lunch.

Sent mine

Injuries done for you hero

Just remembered Fluxy is on holiday so I wouldn't expect votes from him

Im nearly at the stage where im not expecting anything from anyone Bam.

In all seriousness hes been around today and messaged me hes back yesterday.

Tiis the problem running a league through the summer. A beer garden is much more appealing then signing wonderkids (Unless your Hero)

Tactics - Everyone add 500k except Fluxy and Nando.

Votes - Everyone add 500k except Hodgey.

Please make sure to keep your pages up to date for ease when drawing injuries.

Tactics tonight, no more reminders from me after this one. Midnight or its a default.

Anyone want either Forsberg or Sabitzer for -10% their tm value.
