Nads just paid 225m for players with a combined TM value of £150m

Naah need two players rather than go all in GOAT

Dybala and Verratti.
Shexy football.

I'm taking any credit for Dybala's success

Dybala was my other option when I bought Hazard and would probably been the choice of replacement if I had got a lawyer for him.

Verratti naturally was on my list as he always is

Out of interest, what would your second XI look like?

That is a nice looking starting XI

With planned spend on another midfielder/AM instead of Baningime

Out of interest, what would you want for Pizzi?

Cech
Karsdorp-Bartra-Mukiele-Criscito
Nzonzi-Fernandes

and then goes to s**t up front!

You might struggle for goals in a second XI league

Would anyone like to beat Mkhitaryan's lawyer? other he's getting sold probably

Funnily enough, was just working out whether I could afford to do that.

and I can't

What a flurry of deals today

Hamsik got handed about like the village bike

Is that allowed thought we had rulez on that

Only from TM

Through some stupendous planning I gave myself 4 injuries this week by signing Hamsik and Quaresma

I’ll take Hamsik off you...

Naa I'm good, can just about cope, needed to bring Shaw in this week rather than next so I can put out a bench

Midfield will be interesting missing both Hamsik and Pjanic

I was only kidding.

Afro your team after today's transfers is 88 85 86
Scary

Is that with Alaba or Felipe at LB?

Contemplating Alaba as a midfielder at the moment

Felipe currently.

Hero - how are you fixed on your tactics. I can get mine done whenever now.

Can do it tonight, was trying out a few different things with my team last night which worked to a degree but resulted in all three of my midfield out of stamina by the 65th minute.

If anyone needs a RB let me know Im going full Marky just balls to normal soccer anymore

Load of transfers I see. Seems I missed all the fun!

Yeah everyone got a bit excited yesterday after Nads got £225m in lawyer offers

Bit too busy at work to join in so I am just going to push on with tactics. Hope everyone is well

Just sent you mine then.

Any decent players left in foreigns I can buy for 33m?

There's a great player left for a lot less than that

Pay me a £5m finders fee and I'll tell you the name

Don’t help him as I have my eye on someone fitting that description...

Pay me £5m hush money and I won't

I wonder who's going to take the punt on Iniesta, not worked so far in the league but same can be said on some other players for teams, David Silva didn't seem to be doing it for others but he's unstoppable at times for me.

I had forgotten about Iniesta, but on paper he's a good fit in my system

He's not available until friday

I'm prepared to buy him again. At the new price its less of a punt.

I'm convinced I can get him playing well, but it does need to be played in the middle behind a striker and staying forward. Give him any running to do and you can forget it.

Needs the ability in the game to make a midfielder a Xavi/Pirlo/Carrick style DLP. Not much running done, not a tackler but can read, intercept and then dictate from deep.

I reckon you can do that with the current settings

DM
Stay back while attacking
Conservative interceptions
Balanced defence

tactics are in Bam/Hero x

Anyone want Tony Valencia?
