Hero posted a guide a few weeks ago

Lawyers for you Bam:

Dries Mertens - £31.7m - 86 (Napoli)
Lassana Diarra - £2.6m - 80 (PSG)

Will be sprinting to accept those

Lawyers up

Decision time for Nadz with that lawyer offer.

Willian one is a tempter

Looks like I will just have to stick this week. Will do tactics now

I knew it was either going to be an injury or a lawyer, was nailed on

Mixed bag for me this week, great injuries, sh*t lawyers.

Where in the custom tactics do I find the instructions for Kante/Fabinho to kick Ronaldo?

Tactics in

My last day at work is tomorrow, and I'm then going to be on holiday for a couple of weeks. Nads it would be great if you could get your tactics in today/tomorrow so I can watch the game before I go

For Week 9 and 10, Hero do you mind doing them for me? I'm sure you can see what my game plan is most weeks, and its just swapping out for injuries ..

If I can get on, I may make transfers based on lawyers etc, but its unlikely

Sure I'll just do like for like players based on injuries, did it for Tino last week.

Excellent

I'm going to PM you some preferences ..

Nadz on the goalie hunt by the looks of it and i know where's he's going now he's released Ederson

Always pains me when players of really high value are released. That's writing off £8m at the drop of a hat, which could be a really decent squad player.

Could have just released Sportiello, signed a decent keeper with really strong Real links and had some change left over.

Short term gain, long term loss.

In fact, if Ederson had got a lawyer that would have been £11m more

Nads logic is literally unfathomable to me most of the time

This. I've screwed myself if we continue this season and don't reboot on fifa 19. But tis the price I'm willing to pay. What's done is done and now it's done it cannot be undone.

You could have got Casillas for £900k which would have been more than sufficient for a week surely

So he could of bought 92 rated Neuer but bought 85 rated Navas nd 75 rated Hernandez

You are a weird man Nadz

Now I had to buy Casillas rather than hoping he'd still be available when my keeper got injured

STOP INJURING MY GOOD PLAYERS

I don't remember Neuer playing for Real......

Yeah forgot about him. Didn't really search for any alternatives tbh. Tis the price you pay when you rush things

Forgot about Casillas!!

Call yourself a Real Madrid fan

Oh well at least I'll be able to play a back 4 formation now. Was totally hindering Asensio's attacking play when I was playing him as a LM in a 352. Should see more goals from my team at least!

I've got the Brothers of Destruction in midfield this week to foil all your attacks

Yeah from being probably my best player he's been pants for you!

Does anyone wanna match Jorge’s lawyer before I sell?

Putting the feelers out if anyone interested in Willian. I could do with the cash. Straight cash would be preferred

Same with Fekir

I am interested in Willian and could offer straight cash - how much?

Bold move, would be interested if I had the cash

Haha I have a target and I don't want him to be taken. TBH Afro I will probably chicken out of selling Willian. The guy has just been so good.

But rather not release Fekir.

But (again) how peed off will I be if someone nabs my target.

Weighing it all up

I can give you £32m for Willian right now.....

Tempting but not enough

I can only go to £32.5m sorry. If you need more than that I'll have to pass

That's ok, i will pass. In form players on this exceed their money value. Still would like to keep Fekir but can't have it all ways. Will listen to any offers though

What would you accept and I'll have a think whether I can scrape any more together

Looking at my squad, I reckon there's only like 5 players whose lawyer offer would be a definite accept

I would accept most (although admittedly not all) - whilst I like my players, I can always improve on them and even more so definitely improve my overall squad.

The only way to keep moving forward is to keep accepting lawyer offers

I seem to have filled up my squad with low TM value players who have a high FIFA rating. I'd struggle to improve on the likes of

Luis - 86 - 9.9m lawyer offer
Piszczek - 83 - 4m lawyer
Viera - 83 - 7m lawyer

Not quite sure this true. How would you explain my position at the top?

I think it is better to decide a structure and formation and buy the best players for it. Not just constantly improve to get a mish mash of Galeticos.

It's easy for me to say, but I might change my mind when faced with the offers.

When I get Verdi this week, when he hasn't even played for me, my heart dropped, although I will probably still accept

But I would argue you don't have the best players you could in those positions. Just the best you can afford now. You could buy better in a lot of positions, who have the same strengths, just stronger on them(if that makes sense). And what about back-up - surely that can be improved

Yes it does make sense but for me it depends. I look for a few notable traits that my players have and that I think are essential in the positions i want to play them in. There are players on here, rated higher but in the same position, that I would turn down. It is the same the other way - I bet I have players that people would never think to bid on but are actually immense in their position. Look at Lukaku over the course of the season for me, especially in the last game. Rated 77 and cost me £7m. I would have him over pretty much any LB in the league.

Anyone want Rashford or Benatia since got a lawyer on him.

Is Miky alive ive not seen him in ages

PM'd me at the weekend on FB.
