I hope it was clear from my idea that I was joking, and not just come across that I am an idiot?

And on that note I hope it was clear I am an idiot

Feel reassured. Loud and clear

Every time you type a sentence

I'm only an idiot Monday to Friday.

Massive spoiler:

Any other requests sir?

That'll be all for now, run along

Thanks

I'm selling Issa Diop for cash btw, if anyone cares

I know it's the weekend but available for deals

Me too x

Same

Well done for yesterday Hero. Was a tight game

Just so I get it right for tomorrow.....it is first come first served for foreigns and not highest bid wins?

Is it tomorrow? God I haven’t even looked at TM. Not even sure what positions i want to prioritise?

Miky - could you stick the key deadlines / days on the main page as I will just forget and keep asking otherwise

Releases open 9am Tuesday
Lawyers will be announced on Wednesday

Going by this Afro.

Thanks

So like I said I think it's first come first serve

It is

Brill. Looking forward to it.

How are people feeling about their squads so far? Bearing in mind I always seemed to make big and rash mistakes during the first week or so, I think I have done ok

I'm happy with mine, needed a striker which i got from the deal with Hero and gained some experience in DM even though i didn't want to sell Locatelli but i was happy to do it for Guardado

As usual I've been bringing in youth, as a result it's left me with a few gaps to plug especially going forward but I've got foreigns hopefully to fill those gaps.

I'm also very much hoping this league has legs to it as I want to build a project with my squad.

Thats my aim Hero, hopefully everyone stays along for the ride.

I think it has potential for that. I can't see anyone with advantage but I'm not as knowledgeable as you lot.

With Frozen TM prices, the advantage will only be visible at the end of the season, the frozen TM prices should help with people being involved and getting tactics and votes in because of the money available for doing so, press conferences add £500k a week too so you could have £2m a week just from easy stuff. You can also release which i cant see too many people doing further down the line and accept 2 lawyers a week of course, people could get lucky with lawyers and end up getting a beastly squad quite soon but it will come down to management.

England u17 team looking off to a good start at the World Cup

Thought there would have been more people jumping in at 9am on the purchases.

Saving money maybe. I dobt think the star players are overly good here so 20m plus a 25m lawyer offer could get proper game changers

For me it’s about building a squad not game changers so I was never going to blow a big chunk of my budget on one player.

And then a lot of the mid-price players are already in the league so it’s more about cherry picking to build the squad up.

Ive brought in one of my favourite players but I have a plan for my squad and he suits that nicely.

If you're not in for one particular player I'll be very surprised.

Everton player? There are 2 I am weighing up.

What's peoples thoughts on having a youth team allowance?

My proposal is:

A youth team of up to 15 players.
They have to be born after 1st Jan 1997.
You are allowed to buy up to 2 youth players per week in addition to the normal purchases.
These players remain in the youth setup for a minimum of 3 months before they can graduate to the main team.
Once they've graduated they cannot then go back to the youth team.
They are not included in lawyers or injuries whilst in the youth team.

For me I think it'd be something that encourages managers to think long term and look to build for not just this season but want it to go into season 3,4 etc to see these younger players in RL show their potential, and it also hopefully makes managers steer away from the dreaded r word.

Afro wrote:Everton player? There are 2 I am weighing up.

There's certainly one there that I would be disappointed if you didn't get.
But that's not the one I was thinking of.

I think I know the person you are on about hero

I would like both the Everton ones
I have in mind, but need to pick which one for this week.

Not sure who you are talking about but haven’t spent much time on TM. Might well dawn on me when I take a look!

With Pirlo retiring I may just spend a couple of 100k bringing him in for nostalgia.

Like the idea of youth but it will impact on squad numbers won't it?

I like the youth team idea. Good way of building longevity.

And you could do it that their TM value is only frozen at the point they leave the youth team?

Would have to be outside the 25 man squad Twist

Yes it'd be outside of the 25 man squad and it would not affect the normal squad in any way until the player has passed his 3 months probation period and could then transfer across.

I think it's a good idea but timing is important. I have some good youths in my squad already. We can't just put them in a youth team now that they are in the main squad?

Think it could start half way through the season or next season

I think that's why it'd need to start sooner rather than later. I'd say the youths already in squads are ones that have graduated from your soon to be Fifa Class A youth team.

It would need to be future purchases only.

You lot can have one im not bothering.

whats happening lads

Tino you are only allowed 2 of those 3 players you have put in the transfer section. Its 2 foreign transfers per week mate

really? shiete that is

I'll drop Pellergri then

Why don't you want a youth team Nando?

If we do the youth squad then Tino could add Pellegri to that.

I don't want him now lol

Holymiky wrote:Why don't you want a youth team Nando?

Ever since those rumours started, Nando needs to stay away from children.

When he plays Hero, he’s gonna have to watch on TV and manage remotely.
