I’ll give you Gervinho for Fekir

Me too, have a few winger options if wanted.

I'd also be keen on Benatia

'Fro our game is on the results thread

Nando, I sent my tictacs to Miky yesterday so whenever you're ready to send yours over x

Tino/Miky awaiting both of yours still, if I don't get them today it may be late weekend before I have chance to play the game.

Thought this might be useful for a few of you in regarding to 'custom tactics' that are in the game to get a better understanding of what does what:

Tactics go out of the window when my game played out as "give it to Balotelli"

tactics are in good luck miky

Thanks for the efforts Hero

lads

Morning all (or evening for me)

I thought I be helpful and do injuries and lawyers ready for when you get up tomorrow (or today I suppose for you lot!)

Could someone do my injuries and lawyers please.

Injuries
Angel Gomes
Yerry Mina
Inigo Martinez

Lawyers
Kieran Tiernay
Alessio Da Cruz

Cheers guys, hope everyone had a good Bank Holiday weekend, if there are any ratings not done I'll try and work through them in my lunch.

I'll try and give a hand too

Anyone want Goretzka before I lawyer him?

I hope the VAR is working okay in this league after what happened in the cup final. Nadz was absolutely robbed.

Hero do I still send you my tactics seeing as we're playing each other

Yes...you can either trust me that I won't open them until I've done mine, or wait until I've sent mine to Miky.

Ha, I trust you, will send them through shortly

Unless specifically asked to have a check through the tactics I don't open them for anyone until I prepare the matches.

Just brought in a little Fifa abuse upfront

Thanks afro

Bam/Hero - looking at the list of players in the league from the Google sheets file.

Do you think we should fix each player with one position, regardless of where they play. If we do, then we can make it automatically populate when entering the weekly team ratings? The downside is that someone might not appear in the TotW in the position they appeared. Upside, TotS a player can't appear twice.

Don't see why not. I've basically been putting everyone who isn't an out and out striker as a midfielder for the teams I've been filling in, but obviously others may have been doing different, so would definitely solve that issue

I agree, there will be weeks where a certain player may play in a different role but for consistency etc it's better they're only appearing the once.

Anyone want Pepe off of me? 86 rated CB, I'll accept slightly above the lawyers offer for him.

3.2m for him?

Can you do 3.5m For an 86 rated player that's a bargain!

Bernardo Silva in

Lawyers definitely worked in my favour this week. An injured Danny Rose out for £30m, his replacement leaving enough change to allow me to lawyer Sabitzer and get Bernardo in.

two great signings Marky

Both look great FIFA players

Telles higher than Rose surprised me, Rose being injured and lawyered made it a no brainer.

Telles was on my list at LB, was waiting for a lawyer !

Will answer the offers on my page tomorrow guys sorry for being a bit elusive, been having a good but extremely busy week at work.

Just watched our game Hero, thanks as ever

Kante is exactly the pest I hoped he'd be

Yeah he mopped up everything. That wonderkid sub though!

He was only in the squad to get him a lawyer value, I was fuming when he missed the first one but he made up for it

Was surprised how dominant my midfield was, your attack just didn't get enough ball

I wanted to see how going absolutely gung-ho would play out with a 4-2-4 all out attack style. 
The result was you swamped me in midfield and my team was knackered come the 2nd half. If that had been a horse race several of my players would have been taken into a white tent and shot come the end of it.

All still a big learning curve for me as much as anyone in regards to working out what formations and custom levels push FIFA's buttons. The speed one in particular is like a hotel shower trying to get it from either stone cold or blistering hot.

Juanfran - 8.6
Danny Rose - 8.5

It makes it look like Weigl punches him in the gut in the goal celebrations

He has to have two starts to get a value btw, not just appearances

Ah bollox I thought it was appearances

8 of my side?!

(And I've only got rid of three of those since then )

Tends to be the side that wins the most comprehensively gets the bulk of the players, I had 7 in the previous week, and reckon I'll have a decent chunk of Week 6 too

Aren't two of the non-Marky players Nadz's? He was the one that got comprehensively beaten

Silva scored and SMS got the assist, thats probably why

After typing out exotic names like Piszczek, N'Golo, Nainggolan and Aubameyang, I certainly think we could do with fixing names and positions
