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

Mattia Perin
Tin Jedvaj
Mbaye Niang
Jérémy Toulalan

all in, Quintero was the one i really wanted after losing out on Thorgan....

sorry about Andrade..

I think I counted maxwell twice thats all

Oh okay fair enough, it's all good.

Gilardino and Tosic as depth can't complain.

You utter bastard Fan - Wanted Toulalan.

Got Shirkov/Melo/Iturbe & Abidal (Cover purposes) though so im happy

Zouma-Jedvaj at cb a bit too inexperienced ya reckon?

but may work with Gargano-Toulalan in front of them

sorry Nando lol

Don't worry about Andrade, although he was one of the few players already in the Santos side who was on the "keep" list when I bid on them

Me too Nando, thought he would sneak under the radar...

Jedvaj is a great signing, he was on my list of players to sign when the league begins!

I have a squad of 27 without releasing anyone :diva:Sent my star player with 1st bid won't get him though  

i can guarentee who Marky will try and sign   

I have 27 as well, do we release players we dont want or just not add them?

I have 27 as well - limit 30?

happy with those players tbh

Perin fine keeper
Toulalan great experience in the centre, might make him captain
Jedvaj super young CB
Niang a powehouse up front doing well on loan atm

PM me, there's probably only two candidates though!

I have about 35 I think, Van Aanholt gutted to miss out on and Zebs I want him so name what you want when it kicks off.
With the lack of strikers available I had to go in big on Destro. Him and Batshuayi up front with the options I had behind I reckon should do me well.

Limit is 30, I had to just not add those who I didn't want.

I have former Dortmund tank Lucas Barrios who went off the middle east randomly when doing well at Dortmund and the worlds fastest Armenian    in Movsisyan

was gonna go for Caceres for LB, bang goes that idea

Perin
Cassani
Zouma
Jedvaj - ?
LB
Toulalan
Gargano
Berardi
Cassano - AM or CF or not at all not sure
LW - star buy hopefully
CF

so still LB, AM/CF to get

Anyone who sent sp bids with 1st round bids can you please resend them

Currently have SP bids (that I can find) from:
Milky, Bianco, Fan, Tranq and GSC (plus my own one)

1 player has already received multiple bids

Are we allowed to change our mind since bid resending?   

Re-sent.

Cheers marky

ah no hope its no mine, am counting on him lol

Do we keep the money we don't use on the Star Player bid?

Do we have a second chance with star players?

I reckon the guy ive bid on will be a popular option so im hoping theres a 2nd chance

It'd only be fair to draft until everyone has a SP

now am kinda nervous, I really want the one am after but didnt think he would interest anyone else with so many available, fits my system very well...

best look around just in case as only bid what he was worth

If I were an outsider looking in, I'd predict Mandzukic is the one with the most bids so far.

hope so, as I have no interest in him lol

Same, just basing it on him being the highest valued player/centre forward available, and he plays for the European Champions.

Plus I have an expensive striker already as part of buying the Santos squad.

Maybe we should just refer to Mandzukic as Lewandowski-

Villa allows you to save some dollar tho

oh aye David Villa possibly or Xavi

to think about it doubt anyone has gone for the same as me with all the players available

Trebs would've signed Mario Gomez

Edited my bid Gregers, hope that's ok.

Some world class players available, considering you've got Sami Khedira, Xavi and Xabi Alonso available, I don't need to be so paranoid about my bid

now you mention all them dont think i have anything to worry about

the likes of Coutinho, Eriksen may go as well

Mario Gomez is Lewandowski + One of my favourite players.

Don't forget that I'm helping at Lyon. Me and milky had two players in mind, we've now sorted a final bid.

Jedvaj has been terrible in Italy. Both him and Kovacic have failed to settle.

1. Which player were you gutted to miss out on that you lost on a bid (if you did indeed lose)? Thorgan Hazard would have fitted in just nicely

2. Which player were you most happy to get? Domenico Berardi is a great young player, very happy to have him

3. Which player that someone else got were you most jealous of? Again Thorgan but just gotta get on with it

4. Which player that someone else got had you totally forgot about and regret it? No one really

5. Which player purchase had you scratching your head wondering why? Every one buys who they feel will fit in

6. Which manager did the best from the first draft? Me, don't want to big anyone else up

Jedvaj just a young lad will settle given time

Is there a 3rd draft as mentioned or just leave it at two?

I think just the two works well (despite me missing out on a couple of key targets!)

Yeah me too lol, just get em when transfers open

Thoughts on gargano? Swaying towards
Toulalan-Carvalho partnership in cm

Gargano is great cover when injuries take affect IMO. Strength in depth is going to be key.

I'd go Toulalan-Carvalho at the moment. Toulalan could answer some of your CB problems too

Na will get a cb no worries there, think yer right tho could be a good pairing with Gargano as back up, got good back up just need 3 starters now

Can't believe that I got Promes for less than £1 million

Will be needing a cm asap though

Who's left to send star player bids?

I have a bucketload of them!
