The World League II

First topic message reminder :

You'd have been midtable in the premier league

Plus Viva blatently groped people.

LB's of the league, Kierney,Alex Telles,Hector,Masina,Adriano,Fuchs,Maxwell, Borthwick-Jackson,Alex Sandro, Brad Smith,Williams,Felipe Luis,Creswell,Pieters,Wendell,Marcelo,Ake,Schlupp,
Schmelzer & Galloway.

It's not exactly a great list

It's certainly including a number better than Cresswell though.

I count 4.

Wendell? 

Marcelo, Luis, Wendell and Hector?

Quiet on here.

Plz Hero Aaron Cresswell is boss

Cresswell was the best LB in the best league in the world. What more do you want from the guy?

He was a good LB in a league that was shocking for defenders last year. Don't think I can remember a year in which there's been such a derth of quality defenders in the Premier League.

Question for everyone:

How important to your players ratings are the Euros, and if your player/s weren't picked for their Country's squad is that seen as a negative against them?

For me I couldn't care less how they play for their international side, because it's such a random environment. Club form ftw

Is that because most of your team aren't at the Euros?

I'm too hipster for mainstream Euros

How many of your squad are actually at the Euros? Origi, Barkley...?

Butland and Elliot both injured but would be
Shawcross was robbed
Is Fonte going with portugal?
Drinkwater was robbed
WESSI IS GOING!!!!
Barkley, Arnautovic, Dembele

Yeah Fonte is in for Portugal, 6 then?

Think so - another couple would've gone but injuries innit

Also my dutch guys didnt qualify cos they're poo

I've got 3 Dutchies so they're all out for me, few non Europeans (Dybala, 2 Gabriel's, Koulibaly), Donnarumma and Tah didn't make their squads (should have done) so don't think I've got that many tbh!!

How did Donnarumma and Tah not make their squads?!?!

Donnarumma certainly should have gone as 3rd choice just to get the experience. Tah no idea, though they do have Hummels, Rudiger, Mustafi, Boateng and Howedes in the squad.

After mocking your squad I've got a whopping 7 at the Euros!

I've got two of the best five players in the euros in my team.

Are you counting James Milner in that?

I will say it everytime anyone offer £10m and i will carry him there.

Some of the prices on there are head scratching.

Jordon Ibe - David Silva - Marco Reus - £23m.....

Neither Hummels nor Renato Sanches who've both already been sold for more than required to get in the top 100 make the list.

Very drunk

Do you think the move for Gundogan will boost his ratings in this league?

Or is he established enough already?

Depends on if he manages to stay injury free.

Oblak £31m
De Gea £36m
Courtois £37m

Ibe 23m, I'm crying. Hes cack.

If the rest of that list wasn't pap I'd be bragging that my attack are all in the top 10 and have a total value of £259m

Yep Payet and Milner.

Anyone wanna do any deals?

Here's a QOTD, what is the strongest combined line up in the league?
Nobody can pick their own players. I'll open with

I'm in need of a few players Miky so yeah I'm sure we could do something.

Hero wrote:Question for everyone:

Very important. If a player can't handle the pressure of an international tournament, how are they going to cope against Olly's team on v2?

If a player doesn't get picked, it doesn't necessarily matter. Lovren should have been picked for Croatia, but he fell out with the coach. Not a knock on his ability.

But if you have a young player, like Rashford, and he DOESN'T get selected - maybe he's not as good as you thought he was.

Happy Gundogan got the move, £21m for that quality is great.

Jordan Ibe 23m ffs

Buffon
Lahm Ramos Chiellini Marcelo

Think I pretty much agree with that other than Luis for Marcelo. I'd swap my two (Chiellini and Pjanic) for Varane and Verratti (not Pogba in that formation)

Mine would be

Casillas
Lahm Silva Pepe Azpi
Verratti Vidal
Gman Pogba Martial
Aguero

Here's your guy Hero (Sanches)

Just got in, he did he do? Sounded a dire match.
