I did do a bit of digging on him and whilst he’s a solid tackler and has played a lot this season in a left wing role I think it’d have been a big ask to then patrol the whole flank. Apart from that there wasn’t much else to be down on, VDW I’m not a big fan of but others maybe.

by Azzy Thu 04 Jun 2015, 10:27 am

A good game Viva, I suspected you'd play a 4ft 7in, 6stone midfield and luckily for me I was proven right. I'm sure with Bender back you'll have better results for the rest of the season.

by The_Enigma Thu 04 Jun 2015, 10:35 am

I didn't really rate VDW either but injuries have been very unkind to me these past two weeks. Have brought in a replacement but I'm still looking at strengthening the Right-Back position.

by BamBam Thu 04 Jun 2015, 10:42 am

Talking of injuries, when will we have them for this week?

I'm on holiday from Tuesday until the following Monday, so might get two weeks worth of tactics in before I go, but won't be around for deals etc

by nadeem2099 Thu 04 Jun 2015, 11:28 am

I'm the voter this week so I'll give you all a heads up on what I'm looking for in tactics cuz I'm a nice guy and all.

1. Swearing, and lots of it. If you can find some unfiltered swear words you get bonus points.

2. Tactics that say :try and break messi's leg will be realistic. Messi will have a broken leg, but the player will also be sent off.

3. Bribing is ALLOWED. Nudes will also suffice.

I hope my breakdown of Tactics has been most pleasant guys.

by **Hero** Thu 04 Jun 2015, 11:32 am

On that note I would like to see red cards implemented.

by **Afro** Thu 04 Jun 2015, 11:36 am

How do you do that objectively?

by **Hero** Thu 04 Jun 2015, 11:42 am

No idea! And it would probably be open to abuse.

by BamBam Thu 04 Jun 2015, 11:42 am

Objectively, Pepe man marking Messi would have been a guaranteed red card!

by **Hero** Thu 04 Jun 2015, 11:47 am

Marky did state that once he got a yellow he'd swap him with Martinez. Pepe in RL has dramatically improved in behaviour of late, his card tally this season has really dropped.
He could well though scythe Messi in half though.

by **Afro** Thu 04 Jun 2015, 11:53 am

I can imagine the week that Ronaldo gets sent off is the week before that voting manager coincidentally is playing Real

by nadeem2099 Thu 04 Jun 2015, 11:59 am

Well played miky. You deserved the win although Turan scoring against me hurts me right in the feels more.

Afro are you gonna retake control over Porto? CF has rekt them and it's upto you to return them to their former glory. Believe and you can achieve!

by **Afro** Thu 04 Jun 2015, 12:30 pm

Not at the moment Nad.

Get Olly to take them on

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 04 Jun 2015, 12:52 pm

How badly has CF rekt them

by Trebs Thu 04 Jun 2015, 12:52 pm

We have a random yellow card system on ja, could be done on here with a random side getting a red card? It wouldn't affect the result per se but would be a two game ban or something?

by **Hero** Thu 04 Jun 2015, 12:58 pm

Olly wrote:How badly has CF rekt them

Not a huge amount, just splurged his budget on Casillas for some ungodly reason

by Holymiky Thu 04 Jun 2015, 1:16 pm

I am tempted to take over Porto but I don't want to lose my work at Arsenal.

by FIFA Diva Thu 04 Jun 2015, 1:46 pm

Well done on the win Azzy.

Good work Hero.

by FIFA Diva Thu 04 Jun 2015, 1:51 pm

Am I the only one that doesn't care about the Batman game? I played the other 2 and I was never impressed. Undeserved hype.

by **Afro** Thu 04 Jun 2015, 1:57 pm

Porto should be the most tempting job in the league to be honest.

With Real, Barca, Bayern, you are expected to win and can only damage your reputation as a pretend manager.

Porto were already miles behind everyone before it even started (think at time I said something like £80m worse off in terms of player values + cash than the next worse team. Put it this way, you would need to spend something like 3 and a half seasons worth of weekly bonuses just to catch up with the team above, and that is with them spending nothing. Add in CF spunking all the budget on Casillas!

The only way is up and anyone who can be successful with them would get serious kudos and a guaranteed jump up in Viva's top 10 list

by Holymiky Thu 04 Jun 2015, 2:01 pm

I'm happy to take over Porto if we can find someone for Arsenal.

by Holymiky Thu 04 Jun 2015, 2:02 pm

As much as I enjoy being pretty much any team, the thought of building a team up is what I like to do.

by BamBam Thu 04 Jun 2015, 2:03 pm

Bit tougher given the TP window though, but would make it more challenging

by Holymiky Thu 04 Jun 2015, 2:09 pm

It would mean that I or whoever takes over needs to try and do inter league deals which Afro made a start with early on.

by **Afro** Thu 04 Jun 2015, 2:10 pm

Think you probably need to write off this season and probably even next. It's going to take that long to make them competitive!!

And the added difficulty is you are trying to get parity with teams already containing the best players. The choice of who you can go out and buy to match that level is limited.

You are going to need to be a really good domestic deal negotiator and good at playing hardball.

by Holymiky Thu 04 Jun 2015, 2:15 pm

I'm willing to honestly give it a try if people are happy and we can get a manager for Arsenal mate. I can play hard ball on some players quite happily.

by **Afro** Thu 04 Jun 2015, 2:18 pm

Holymiky wrote: I can play hard ball on some players quite happily.

Well that's going to win Viva's vote.

Offer Olly the choice of Porto or Arsenal then I guess

by Holymiky Thu 04 Jun 2015, 2:25 pm

I'll pm him and ask.

Makes no sense considering I've won more pretend league titles than most here.

by **Hero** Thu 04 Jun 2015, 3:11 pm

Haven't you won the same as Stevie G's Premier League titles?

by **Afro** Thu 04 Jun 2015, 3:12 pm

Depends if you are including division 2 titles doesn't it?

by **Hero** Thu 04 Jun 2015, 3:15 pm

So Viva's really the v2 version of Brendan Rodgers?

by GSC Thu 04 Jun 2015, 3:24 pm

Swansea were 3rd in the Championship when they were promoted

by **Afro** Thu 04 Jun 2015, 3:28 pm

You do get a trophy when you win the play offs though :ok

by Holymiky Thu 04 Jun 2015, 3:29 pm

Are you guys happy for me to take over Porto if Olly agrees to join and chooses Arsenal?

by **Afro** Thu 04 Jun 2015, 3:40 pm

Think of all the former Porto managers that have gone on to bigger and better things.

Carlos Alberto, Bobby Robson, AVB, Pereira, whatsisname at Chelsea

by Holymiky Thu 04 Jun 2015, 3:41 pm

True that.

Hero as well in fantasy management.

How could I forget Hero. Girls from Porto still have his poster on their walls

by Holymiky Thu 04 Jun 2015, 3:43 pm

Didn't he have Falcao up front back then?

by BamBam Thu 04 Jun 2015, 3:44 pm

Fine with me..

I'm really intrigued to see what Hero's Porto side was now

by **Afro** Thu 04 Jun 2015, 3:44 pm

Yeah, although that was when Falcao was a flat track bully

by GSC Thu 04 Jun 2015, 3:45 pm

Now he's just flat

by **Afro** Thu 04 Jun 2015, 3:47 pm

Falcao used to score all his goals against lower division Portuguese teams, lower La Liga teams and in Europa League.

He then had that one purple patch which included the hat trick v Chelsea and he was suddenly world class.

Think he wasn't as bad as his time United, but never as good as he was made out to be

by Holymiky Thu 04 Jun 2015, 3:48 pm

Am I right in saying that he is awesome in the air?

by **Afro** Thu 04 Jun 2015, 3:50 pm

He is a good header of the ball, but I wouldn't call him awesome in the air.

He isn't going to win many aeriel battles, but when he does head his technique is good
