Even if he is not rated, I think there is a decent chance of him getting another 7 goals this season

He can, but not in that midfield 3 .. think Marchisio gives it more balanace

yea that's what I thought....he'll have to just sit on the bench

What you should do is sell Griezmann and play Perisic in his position

Or ignore Nadz and his biased Real opinion on Griezmann

Belgium, Tunisia and Panama

Can't complain

Is it just me or is it a generally Poopie set of pot 3 and 4 teams

I rate Griezmann tho. That's why I'm trying to get tino to sell me him on ja.

Godin + Griezmann
For
Rugani + Perisic

Is the offer I've made him but tino can't get past his hatred of inter players.

Why on earth would he do that

I love your optimism Nadz

Denmark and Iceland are decent from pot 3. Serbia being the best from pot 4.

Rugani =< Godin
Godin is a top player but he ain't getting any younger while Rugani is the heir to Chiellini.
Perisic  < Griezmann
Looking at tino's full side, he is very weak at left wing,  Perisic would solve that.

I know he's losing out but in the long term he's getting the better deal imo.

I wouldn't deal Griezmann on his own for Rugani and Perisic

I made the worst transfer I've ever made on these leagues a couple of months ago on ja. Being there for so long has clouded my judgement ffs

James Rodriguez
=
Barkley + Calvert Lewin

I sold James! Not even an Everton fan like afro would have accepted that!

BamBam wrote:I wouldn't deal Griezmann on his own for Rugani and Perisic

No neither would I. Godin is also much better than Rugani. Rugani is a great prospect, but he's well below Godin's level

I'm having a look at all your squads see if there are any good players I can pick up for my youth academy on ja but most likely fan already has them all

Just had a look, think all the best ones have already been taken

I think I would have won Sheep had I not joked about Trump being reelected

Found the perfect player for when writing your tactics....

Thanks for the tip

Hi guys, predictions for this week are done.

Morning everyone.

Who fancies a social media challenge this week?

A what

Basically from now until midnight on Friday try and get a reply from a 'celebrity' on social media (Twitter/Facebook/Instagram etc), whoever at the end of the week gets the most famous reply wins.

That would require coming out of my social media recluse status

I will pass on that hero thanks.

I have a few ideas for TPs but interested to know your thoughts on this......if a player drops to a minor foreign league does his rating drop regardless of his rating up until the move. Also if there is a star in the foreign league does their rating not improve until they move to a major one?

I have a few that fit both of these in leagues which you wouldn't class as major but I'm still keen on

Depends how minor the league, and how strong the performance

Ie the Memphis Depay rule

I kept considering Depay as he's on absolute fire at present but he would suffer on votes from the 'can't do it in the Premier League' voters.
There's certainly a tier system of leagues regarding big fish in small ponds etc. And yes if a decent player moves to a crap league he usually becomes dead in peoples eyes (Chinese or US leagues especially).

Alright so how about stars not moved that are not in top 5 leagues of Europe or are in a South American league.

You have then the concern of exposure, whilst the player themselves may be playing out of their skin who is really watching the Peruvian league?

I think it is really hard to judge when they play in a lower tier league.

When they first move, you can justify giving them the same rating, but the longer they are in that league, the harder it is to judge how much of their performance is ability and how much decline is masked by the standard they are at.

With players in lower tiers not yet moved, I think their will be a natural ceiling on their rating until they repeat performances in the CL or a higher league.

Same goes with youngsters who are storming it in the lesser leagues, the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Neymar etc only really started getting the thumbs up after they'd proved themselves over in Europe, not sure if Trebs even still rates Jesus!

Hero wrote:You have then the concern of exposure, whilst the player themselves may be playing out of their skin who is really watching the Peruvian league?

Exactly what I thought. Think this is something which will change come season 2 and 3 when we are nearer to the World Cup

So I'm stuck with rethink or punt. Actually I don't have cash yet but planning ahead!

I was looking at Depay too, but found it tricky to justify give that he was amazing for PSV, absolute dog poo for Man United now is storming it again in France

Is he really performing that much worse than say Fekir or Malcolm, both of whom are well rated on here. I guess the difference is that we're banking on them getting a big move and performing, whereas its hard to see him getting another chance

Does anyone wanna match my lawyers for Horn or Ilicic before I accept?

Olly I might match - will let you know.

Regarding small leagues, Hulk has been amazing in the Chinese league and has just got an upgrade on transfermarkt. No chance would I sign him though as I'd be crucified in ratings.

In fairness though Hulk was Poopie for years before he moved to China.

Let me know by 2pm cos that’s when they’re being accepted

Good Golly I'm Olly wrote:Let me know by 2pm cos that’s when they’re being accepted

I've decided I need to use the money elsewhere but thanks for giving me the chance.

No worries - all done now.

Nice to get an upgrade at GK whilst making some £££

I like Ilicic - but feel he doesn't quite fit my side and for the lawyers, I might as well take it.

Anyone around to give some opinions on my next area of strengthening?

I'm weighing up a few options - but like Hero last week, just want people to confirm that for me...!

Sure

I realise this may lead to someone signing him quickly, but is Bruno Peres in the league?

BamBam wrote:Sure

I have messaged you, privately

Marky wrote:I realise this may lead to someone signing him quickly, but is Bruno Peres in the league?

Don’t think so

Is everyone’s page up to date? I may have time to pull together a players in da league list this week

I feel like someone lawyered Peres recently

Release Bruno Peres 7.6m

Can't buy him for another 18 days Marquee

Yep he was released. I should point out I've called dibs on him.
