You can only play 2 from these lot I think for your match against me.

Glik - 16.2m (Monaco)
Victor Ruiz - £10.8m (Villareal)
Jardel - 3.15m (Benfica)
Smolnikov - 5.85m (Zenit)
Yuri Zhirkov - 720k (Zenit)
Gignac- 3.6m (Tigres)

And here are your injuries for your match vs me

Thanks Nadz, I mate it that I would be a man short on the bench with the info above.

I'm not 100% sure but I'm sure hero will clear it up

He bought 6 players, but was only allowed to play 2.

So you can pick any two out of the following, but not the other 4.

Glik - 16.2m (Monaco)
Victor Ruiz - £10.8m (Villareal)
Jardel - 3.15m (Benfica)
Smolnikov - 5.85m (Zenit)
Yuri Zhirkov - 720k (Zenit)
Gignac- 3.6m (Tigres)

And your injuries for week 2 were

GK Fernando Muslera - £5.4m 81
RB Davide Zappacosta - £18m 79
DF Cesar Azpilicueta - £36m 86

Currently 23 man squad, lose those 4 plus Azpi and Muslera injuries (Zappacosta transferred out) would leave you at 17 players, 1 short of full squad

Do we need to have a GK on the bench? Can't remember the rule

The rule was no more than 1 GK on the bench

But one more player needed to make the full squad.

I suggest just making it 3 from the 6, rather than the 2

I have no qualms with that.

So to put it simply, you have to pick your XI plus subs from:

Keylor Navas
Mario Gaspar
Branislav Ivanovic
John Anthony Brooks
Jordi Alba
Fernandinho
Corentin Tolisso
Mario Gotze
Quincy Promes
Arjen Robben
Marc Albrighton
Jose Izquierdo
Nabil Fekir
Ciro Immobile
Fernando Llorente

plus any 3 from

Kamil Glik
Victor Ruiz
Jardel
Igor Smolnikov
Yuri Zhirkov
Andre Pierre Gignac

And choose a formation from this list

Just to be clear, this is for the week 2 game.

This week you can play anyone, except your 3 injuries for the week.

Hero have you still got my week 2 tactics or should I resend them?

Yep still got them

Definitely replaying the week 2 game then?

I'll amend the table and results page then

All clear gents, Hero, hopefully, will have tactics to you within the hour for week 2

Right gonna hopefully get a few games done shortly starting with the replay of Brisbane v Newcastle from week 2.

This replay is more hassle than I thought with the amount of deals Nadz has done, have to trade back all the players he's moved on and then trade them all again afterwards!

This might be too late, but if it is a lot of work, then it’s probably not worth bothering

All done now, most weeks it would have been fine, just this week happens to be the one Nadz went mental transferwise and got half a new team!

Okay.

If you play our game I’ll keep an eye out and might be able to watch it Live

Have to say Nadz has massively upgraded his team in the past week.

For anyone who hasn't got in tactics yet please can you do so.
I'm off to Gran Canaria in the morning until Thursday (lads holiday).
All games for this week will be done today.

Nando v Twist done
Me v Afro coming up

Took a risk and made a formation change.

Felt a draw would have been the right result tbh, but great goal for the winner.

Also shows some of the limitation of FIFA applying common sense to substitutes. Felipe Luis injured, common sense is Alaba to
LB and bring on midfielder. FIFA brings on Koscielny at LB

Good game, was back and forth but think it showed the dangers of not squad building as much for me when McTominay came on and my midfield definitely suffered afterwards.

Yeah definitely. Could have gone either way.

I’d set up to try and dominate the middle. First half you were passing through me, but second half that didn’t happen as much.

Matuidi was immense again. Definitely been my best signing.

Yeah he's been immense for you since you bought him. Glad Dybala got off the mark for me to fill a Bale shaped hole, Silva great again too, Neymar though is yet to turn up, 162m passenger atm.

Yeah, he was disappointing. Have an idea about him that I’ll PM you

Require tictacs for week 3 from Tino and Fluxy, heading to bed in a min so those games will be streamed when I return on Thursday xx

Have a good holiday Hero.

Thanks for replaying it, and sorry for the hassle! Just watched it back and glad to get off the mark with a win 

Will get my tactics in for week 3 now - have a good holiday!

Will do lawyers and injuries shortly guys

thank god you disgusting slacker

Exciting!

Where will the curse of Bam land this week on my squad?

did my draft idea for season 4 get quashed or was it met with acclaim?

Quashed sorry.
Partly due to time for set up, partly due to wishing to start at a low base level for players and a draft of crap players means a lot of research.

We all thought you're a bell and ignored it

I want to draft tbh.

Marky wrote:I want to draft tbh.

This man knows

What’s the issue with setup? I said I’d run the draft and do it all?

Are you also going to put all the teams into FIFA and stream the games every week

Can someone draw me injuries and lawyers, and injuries for Afro please

Oh indeed

Wow

Bam doesn't seem so much a curse injury wise now

I’m quite pleased with mine having seen Bams. Think I’ve got off lightly!
