And I approve of the Carol Vorderman comment, purely on the basis I can't argue Rachel Riley would be more appropriate.

by **Afro** Tue 25 Sep 2018, 8:23 am

The positive you have is you've got more than adequate replacements, slight shuffle about in formation perhaps but you're the only team that can lose players of that quality behind the striker and still have Reus and Payet.

by **Afro** Tue 25 Sep 2018, 10:03 am

True. I've got to weigh up whether to switch the formation, or push forward a signing or two that I have in mind.

I'm a little short on the cash I need to do exactly what I want to though Headscratch

by **Afro** Tue 25 Sep 2018, 10:19 am

Stuff it. One thing I've learnt since moving on to FIFA is that I can over think at times.

So tactics in!!

by **Hero** Tue 25 Sep 2018, 10:20 am

Looking if I decided to sell Pogba to lawyer who I could replace him with and there's basically 2 WC central/defensive midfielders left, one of which I've not been impressed with when was in the league before.

by **Afro** Tue 25 Sep 2018, 1:20 pm

Anyone want Vrsaljko or Weigl before I send them to releases.

I would take £22.5 for Weigl and £18m for Vrsaljko, which is between their frozen TM value and their release value

by Fernando Thu 27 Sep 2018, 3:20 pm

So quiet...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 27 Sep 2018, 4:00 pm

who are you

by Fluxy Fri 28 Sep 2018, 8:23 am

Sorry, had a busy few days and not been at work either!

Will get my tactics in shortly.

by **Hero** Fri 28 Sep 2018, 9:09 am

Been one of those weeks where I've actually had work to do!

by TwisT Fri 28 Sep 2018, 9:14 am

Same. Here today though

How's things?

by **Hero** Fri 28 Sep 2018, 11:13 am

All good here apart from being a fan of Utd and Macc Town which currently is resulting in humiliation on a regular basis.
You all good?

Only got 3 sets of tictacs in so far, get em in so I can get some games done folks!

by BamBam Fri 28 Sep 2018, 11:31 am

I've been getting well and truly rogered this week as my manager has left and the other guy in my team is on holiday, hence the silence on here

Will get tactics in at some point today

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 28 Sep 2018, 11:36 am

Tactics in now

Bam likes getting rogered

by Marky Sat 29 Sep 2018, 9:10 am

Tactics in. As I'm playing Olly i've picked Wes Hoolahan at CM and put him on penalties. Mind games.

by **Afro** Mon 01 Oct 2018, 8:50 am

Whats the news on the two remaining games for this week?

by BamBam Mon 01 Oct 2018, 9:50 am

Hero was asking for tactics from Nando / Tino yesterday

by **Hero** Mon 01 Oct 2018, 9:52 am

Yep still need those, if don't get them by this evening I'll just amend for injuries their teamsheet & tactics from last week.

by **Afro** Mon 01 Oct 2018, 10:36 am

No worries - will hold fire on updating results/table etc. Have updated for the three games played and its hotting up at the top!!

by Fluxy Mon 01 Oct 2018, 10:58 am

Well that went well... 1-0 lead and a missed penalty, to conceding a 90th minute goal and losing the game Doh

Afro is getting more luck atm than a leprechaun covered in bird poo.

by **Afro** Mon 01 Oct 2018, 11:59 am

I got to admit that I was only half watching and the fact that you got a penalty had completely passed me by.

I do think that in this week's game though that it was fairly even but I created that little bit more and if it was going to swing either way it would have been harsher for it to go against me than for me.

I definitely got the luck last week against Tino though.

by Fluxy Mon 01 Oct 2018, 12:05 pm

I think I am more annoyed over how god awful the penalty was!

by TwisT Mon 01 Oct 2018, 12:05 pm

Could say season 1 is repeating itself as there is a lucky team at top of the table Laugh

Hero cacking himself over the last game.....again!

by **Afro** Mon 01 Oct 2018, 12:11 pm

Gonna have to watch it back when I have more time to pay proper attention. What time in the game was it?

At around the 70th-minute mark, I think. It was after you equalised.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 01 Oct 2018, 1:38 pm

Comfortable win for my boys - looking good. Undefeated season incoming

Completely agree. Is it a 4 horse race now?

by **Afro** Mon 01 Oct 2018, 2:02 pm

Mathematically a 6 horse race now.

by TwisT Mon 01 Oct 2018, 2:06 pm

Jeez, this should have been a longer season it is that close! I know I still have to play Olly and Hero, so if you want to offer me your best players for nowt Afro then I am more than welcome to boost my team before those crucial matches Laugh

by **Afro** Mon 01 Oct 2018, 2:08 pm

Think I may be better off keeping them to make sure I get my points!

I have Nad, Olly and Marky, so no easy games in this league!

by **Hero** Mon 01 Oct 2018, 11:39 pm

Done the other 2 games now x

by **Afro** Mon 01 Oct 2018, 11:41 pm

Spoiler:

by **Hero** Mon 01 Oct 2018, 11:47 pm

yeah and should have been 4!

by **Afro** Tue 02 Oct 2018, 8:01 am

There you go! Does seem to clump them up for you but not as bad as last week.

by Fluxy Tue 02 Oct 2018, 9:13 am

Morning gents, just looking to clarify something. Do we get cash bonuses for doing conferences? And are there any other bonuses? Trying to work out my overall budget, and I should have kept on top of it!

by TwisT Tue 02 Oct 2018, 9:20 am

Hero wrote:yeah and should have been 4!

I remember when people said it was stupid to buy him. That result has given you the better GD now.

by BamBam Tue 02 Oct 2018, 9:43 am

Who scored the hatrick

by **Afro** Tue 02 Oct 2018, 10:06 am

Assuming that we aren't going to spoil anything for Tino, it was the Pog.

3 brilliant goals, plus hit the post with another great effort. He was everywhere too - kind of what you expect from him IRL

Thanks. I can live with those, and was hoping for Vrsaljko and/or Weigl in lawyers, so happy enough with those too

by BamBam Tue 02 Oct 2018, 10:15 am

I've had the most boring lawyers for the last few weeks

Am on holiday from tomorrow for a week so won't be around much, will get tactics in today

by **Afro** Tue 02 Oct 2018, 10:50 am

Sent my tactics.

Have another target, but as I have no injuries to any forward players, I can hold off with signing him for another week.
