It's been done before so can't really stop it this time.

But I think it's time for a new rule....

From now one, each individual TP must be made on a separate post

Cheers ZZZ

Unlucky Marky

Because this time it directly affects me Wink

thats fair enough Marky. Complain all you want, I will listen & give you a

I agree with Marky a manager should be online to make a signing but it's not fair on Gregers when others have done this. Rule needs to be put in place

Already done

From now one, each individual TP must be made on a separate post

Or you could go back to the bidding system & have them all submitted to the one who isnt in the league then BOOM, highest bidder wins.

That could work now as the players who are available when TP limt goes up are wanted by a few managers

Start the league again with the Rules clearly in place...

We like the rules to evolve with the game. If we start again everytime a rule needs fine tuning, we'd only get a few weeks done each time.

Andre Schurrle

22m to SBFC

But eventually you'd get a league where no-one can one-up another

Why don't you change the TM rules now, and just make it a bidding process? So at £23m, rather than having a mad rush for Mascherano, people bid for him and the highest bidder would get him? Saves Zebs ALWAYS being first (kudos to him, he's lightning quick).

There isn't a problem with the system in my opinion. Just perceived unfairness that more than one player can go on a single bid. I think Afro's rule serves a good purpose, not much else needs changing.

If it doesn't create more work for any runner, then it can be considered.

What timescale do you set for bids?

Good signing GSC, he was my backup if Alonso had gone

There still needs to be a way for managers who cannot ensure they will be on at 12 on the dot to get a player

I think bidding should only be reserved for a TP increase tbh. Otherwise well scouted bargains like Rio go down the toilet once others see it.

Perhaps people have until 1pm to make a bid for players. Bids can be submitted before the rise to runners for people who aren't online.

Highest bidder wins.

After 1pm it goes back to fairgame.

IMO, there hasnt been an issue in the past even with other managers doing other managers bids.
Now because Alonso, Sami K got snapped up quick there seems to be an problem in the way we do TP's.
Because its never come up before I dont see why one/two players now make it an issue.

I say we keep it that same, when ever a restart is done in the future we discuss it then.

Sound suggestion GSC

It also makes TP deadline day more interesting - last minute in-league deals to get you an extra £4m to add onto your Alonso bid for example. Could be good!

I don't have a problem with others submitting for people that arent online.

I do agree theres a better system than first in line for TP increases though

We won't do fundamental changes to the system midway through. It will be considered for a reboot, but any changes now would need to be fine tuning around the edges only

I do agree theres a better system than first in line for TP increases though

IO agree too. I think we can defo come up with a better, level playing field system.

Just saying this has only been bought up due to Alonso/Sami K.
It wasn't bought up 2 weeks ago, 4 weeks ago & so on.

TBF if we are changing it now is the best time with Easter break & coming close to mid point of the season.

TBF it was brought up 4 weeks ago and has been once before as well

Considering I started all this, I have no issues with the only change being the one Afro mentioned, of one TP per post.

The rest is fine as it is. Perfectly fine.

Theo Walcott

22m to SBFC

Ohhh GSC, wait waiting for someone to do that.
#Unlucky

Eh, need firepower

Theo Walcott is an interesting one for me.

As a right winger, not gained much rating on here, but in his new found role as a striker he is largely untested.

I will be very interested to see how GSC uses him and how is received. Could be a master stroke in theory

Plus, if you're facing GSC, do you prepare for Walcott as a winger? A lone striker? In the hole? As part of a 2-man attack? His versatility could be tough for people to prepare against.

Same with Schurrle. My problem has been scoring enough to convert draws to wins. I added more firepower

Schurrle will defo help. Depending how you use Walcott will play a big part.

Good signing. Completely overlooked him.

Cheers Trebs. I had my eye on him since I sold him early season 1. I know Hero was aware but he left his team & thankfully no one else clocked on to him sitting around.

Ganso
Sao Paulo to Dos Cervezas por favor
£10.5m
http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/ganso/profil/spieler_67920.html

Just think, Nando paid £60m for Ganso in the Furious League.

And Nick was up in arms that it was allowed!

Loads of people were!

They were all after Ganso and Nando outbid everybody

Some digging around has found this.

Ganso
£48m
Santos to Arsenal (Nando)

---

Ganso
Arsenal (Nando) to Spurs (Cherries)
50 million now, and an extra 10m after he is involved in 3 club wins

Cherries FTW!

FM had him, Hazard and Pastore as the best 3 in the world

Surely Ganso was never THAT good?

Shame I missed those days, bloomin' work web filter

Most of the best deals came out of CF. He sold Bonucci for Carragher

If that was the 2006 version of the Furious League, that's an okay deal.

CF just signed Paul McShane and Sean St Ledger in the Realistic League, replacing his Swansea CBs of Samba and Williams. Maybe he doesn't like CBs that much

At the time, Ganso was the Robin to Neymar's Batman. And when Neymar was a definite NFS, everyone jumped on the Ganso train.

All i shall say is it takes managerial mastering to get a profit on 48m player who's actually Poopie/distinctly average

I would have said it took blind luck, but ok.

It took several hours of persuading it's the only time Cherries has been stubborn about things
