Looks like the makings of a good side there Miky. Spine is very strong, I'm not a fan of Deulofeu though

Your left side is trash but your spine is nice

Only if Nando and Trebs are voting on our game

For my team I'm thinking 3-4-3

-----------Bartra - Ake - Restos ------------
Trippier --- Bender - Goretzka --- Kolarov
----------Pedro ---- Vardy ---- Lingard-------

I'm not even thinking about my team

Maybe a 3-5-2

Is wij a CM or could I use him as the #10

Trippier and Kolarov definitely suit the wingback role more than fullback

Brooksey79 wrote:Maybe a 3-5-2

Either or. I think he only seems to play CM in a trio personally so a flat 3-5-2 would suit him.

Was nobody else suspicious of this?

I see you've just nabbed 2 of my targets,

do yu fancy making a quick profit - if so would £2m for the pair be enough to tempt you

Twist, who said he wasn't taking part, conveniently signing two of Tino's targets and selling them on for profit...

I'm sure it's all above board. Just looks suspect AF.

What? Complete coincidence

100%.

It was blatantly obvious what they did. See mine and Hero’s posts on Twists page.

Been speaking to Miky and Hero about how we close that loophole in the rules.

And Twist saying maybe I could do it next week just confirmed it.

If you take brooksey off me I'm quitting lol

#FakeNews

Lol

I personally wouldn't have an issue with anyone else doing the same

I don’t think anyone will be taken off anyone. Just putting something in to mean you can’t keep doing it!

So how do you police transfers going forward that's the issue

I in fairness then asked Nando if he'd do the same for me, fecker wouldn't though.

TwisT wrote:Ebbsfleet United would like to announce a new initiative!

With the influx of new youth talent Ebbsfleet would like to offer you a chance to increase your talent. For a 1m fee, you can loan your youth to Ebbsfleet for a season where they will sit in their own youth squad, unused. Then after the loan expires, you get the player back.

As Ebbsfleet isn't involved in the youth game this gives you an opportunity to increase the number of youths you can have.

Take part in this great initiative today!

Just bumping it up in case any loop holes are closed.

Fact that I have said I'm not doing the youth thing......can't blame me trying to take advantage.

Think that those not in the youth system have to declare they're not, and then as default can't buy youth players in excess of their normal 2 transfers.
Then as the overriding rule is already in place that all deals can and will be reversed by the league runner if deemed to be unjust in any form.

You saw an opportunity. It should be rewarded not punished

So what happens when someone comes knocking for cutrone?

Or the limit on number of youth players you can have goes up by 2 each week until you get to the max of 15 (obv +1 extra in the last step)

Brooksey79 wrote:So what happens when someone comes knocking for cutrone?

You let him out to play, as long as he is back in for tea.

Right is anyone selling a centre back

Lemos or Gustavo Gomez?

Never heard of them

Brooksey79 wrote:Never heard of them

fair enough.

They’re big fans of yours

Brooksey79 wrote:Right is anyone selling a centre back

Silva or Bruma?

Ryan Shawcross

What do you want for silva

Ill listen to offers for everyone since trimming down players.

Brooksey79 wrote:What do you want for silva

I want a fair bit which I think is understandable, as you would for Alves, but it doesn't mean he's not available.

Everyone has a price for the million dollar man

I've got a suggestion, everyone follows the rules.

I have a better one sack off the youth team Poopie

Holymiky wrote:I've got a suggestion, everyone follows the rules.

What twist and I did wasn't against any rules

I kinda think either everyone does the youth team Poopie or no one does. Can't have 2 sets of rules.

We put it in because the majority wanted it GSC.

Tino, yes okay no rules were broken fine whatever, its the principle of it.

Look at it this way and i hope everyone manages to read this. I care so much about this league that when i react to things that happen it seems like im taking it way too seriously, but i asked to manage the league and when people do break rules/bend them/twist things to gain the advantage, it not only annoys me it also COULD potentially put people off either joining or even staying in the league.

I have a plan for this league, a big plan but i want to take baby steps with it (seems appropriate considering my 2nd niece will be born in under a month). I need people to be on board but the main thing is to make sure people are reliable and dedicated to it. I hope that the idea of the longevity will make people play. I hate to use him as an example but Marky has been vocal in the past about leagues just tumbling in the past and hes right, it's because people get fed up or they don't like the squad they have built. This will allow them to fix it and with this i am planning to have at least 5 seasons. Yes that means that we will have big big players in by then, probably most of the worlds elite and yes that may mean people want to reset but it IS possible IMO to have a league run for a very long time. I enjoy this so much that im already looking forward to seeing peoples team pages "2x Challenge League winner" "2x Youth cup winners" ETC ETC.

I know this is a while off but i honestly am not joking around, just consider that if you are dedicated to the league, try to help it succeed. Great Twist made some money today and yes he took an opportunity, just think about what you are doing. I need help from you guys as well.. Sorry for the long post but been wanting to post something like this for the past day or so.

I take on board what you're saying and I appreciate the hard graft

Can we have a viewing of the principles of the league? I applaud Twist’s entrepreneurship - it is what’s needed in post brexit v2 football management games

Helpful as always Olly

Well I won't be taking advantage of that loophole again but nothing wrong with my loan initiative. Ebbsfleet is just like a nursery for youths. Nurturing them before returning them to their parents. All for 1m.

maybe we should have waited a few days Twist

Holymiky wrote:Helpful as always Olly

I’m just pointing out it’s either in the rules are it’s not. If we start introducing principles as well then we may as well introduce the spirit of cricket
