Thanks Bam.

Just to confirm, we taking the FIFA squad as the starting point?

by BamBam Tue 23 Oct 2018, 1:40 pm

by BamBam Tue 23 Oct 2018, 1:54 pm

PM sent to everyone

by **Afro** Tue 23 Oct 2018, 2:18 pm

Thanks Bam.

For clarity, any player on loan belongs to the club he is loaned too. So if you have a loaned in player, he is yours. If you have a loaned out player, he is not

by **Afro** Tue 23 Oct 2018, 2:20 pm

My player values are ridiculous compared to yours Bam Laugh

My highest value would be one of your lowest, ignoring the zero values

Also to confirm, the minimum value of £200k for players with no value is for buying in only. If you have players in your squad with zero value, they have zero value for lawyers and releases

by TwisT Tue 23 Oct 2018, 2:23 pm

I posted on chat, but just to confirm here......where are you getting your team lists from? Sofifa for the teams and ratings, and then TM for prices?

by **Afro** Tue 23 Oct 2018, 2:24 pm

Yep. I googled the team name and FIFA19, and SoFIFA came up, so I used that

by **Afro** Tue 23 Oct 2018, 2:26 pm

Fixtures are up btw

I will do a cross check then because I just used FUThead laughing

by Marky Tue 23 Oct 2018, 3:06 pm

Page is up. Will have bids in probably tomorrow.

by TwisT Tue 23 Oct 2018, 3:11 pm

When a player has no value on TM and we then set it as 200k (if that's correct) should we mark it on the team sheet in some way?

Thinking as italics as that won't mess Bams Google sheet?

Or is that just for new transfers? So if a player in your starting team is 0k he stays at 0k?

by Marky Tue 23 Oct 2018, 3:28 pm

Yeah that's only for new transfers.

Even if you spend £200k on him, he's still valued at £0

by BamBam Tue 23 Oct 2018, 3:37 pm

Yep, agree with Marky

by BamBam Tue 23 Oct 2018, 3:38 pm

Marky .. you fecked up the formatting Laugh

Currently is Glenn Morris - £45k - 63 - Crawley Town
Should be Glenn Morris - £45k - 63 *Crawley Town

by Marky Tue 23 Oct 2018, 3:39 pm

That's just my OCD kicking in Laugh

by BamBam Tue 23 Oct 2018, 3:40 pm

I know I'm being a pain in the ass, but the column is set up to look up anything after the *, won't work if its any other symbol

by Marky Tue 23 Oct 2018, 3:42 pm

Have corrected it

by BamBam Tue 23 Oct 2018, 3:42 pm

Cheers

Cool thank you. So.....

Current Squad - any at 0k stay at 0k
Transfers - 0k players are 200k to buy but then are reverted back to 0k when you put them on squad page (so you can't get a 200k +10% lawyer)

Just an idea if the above is true......if someone does a foreign for a 0k player for 200k, do the rest of us then have 24hrs before player is confirmed to put a rival bid in of more than 200k? Or is that too much like hard work?

Just sent you my draft bids Bam

In order to create my team page do I simply select new topic?

Yes

by BamBam Tue 23 Oct 2018, 4:23 pm

Thanks Afro

Won't open, will send mine back to you first

Is it simply 3 players and your bid for each one?

by BamBam Tue 23 Oct 2018, 5:18 pm

Yup

If you want to be really helpful, include a link to their TM page so I don't have to search too hard angel

by TwisT Tue 23 Oct 2018, 5:25 pm

BamBam wrote:Yup

And you have to bid their minimum TM value yep?

Put name, real club, Fifa rating and my bid.
Then a link to TM underneath.

Feel free to open if you want Bam. Id be amazed if anyone else bid on any of them.

by **Afro** Tue 23 Oct 2018, 6:45 pm

What are doing about squad limits? Staying at 25?

If so, do we get some free releases if we are over 25 at the start?

by BamBam Tue 23 Oct 2018, 7:02 pm

30, 4 injuries

by Marky Tue 23 Oct 2018, 7:33 pm

Think we should stay at 25 and 3 Injuries, worked well last time.

My Fifa squad is 24, plus bidding = 27, and then I'd likely drop a couple of £0 value players to fit to 25. 30 is overkill IMO.

Agree with this.

Release for zero value to bring you down to 22 to make room for the draft.

by Marky Tue 23 Oct 2018, 7:55 pm

Bids sent.

Pretty sure everyone has zero value players to drop, just pick the best 22 if not.

by TwisT Tue 23 Oct 2018, 8:13 pm

Bids sent too. Exciting!!!!

by **Hero** Tue 23 Oct 2018, 9:15 pm

Bam's CB is worth nearly as much as my entire squad Laugh

My best player has a rating of 62. Biggest challenge ever to do something with this squad.

by Fernando Tue 23 Oct 2018, 9:31 pm

Sent bids in . ill get 1 the others seem unlikely

by TwisT Tue 23 Oct 2018, 9:32 pm

You picked it! Like me it will be get rid and upgrade.

by **Hero** Tue 23 Oct 2018, 9:42 pm

Had to go with them, will be the only chance I ever have as they won't be in the league come the summer!

by **Afro** Tue 23 Oct 2018, 9:55 pm

Was just looking at my squad in more detail and thinking the same hero. Got my work cut out here!!

I reckon another 22 transfers and I’ll have something competitive!

by TwisT Tue 23 Oct 2018, 9:56 pm

You will be fine. Just use that usual title winning mentality.

Tactics! Any chance of a breakdown of what you need for fifa19 like you did for fifa18?

by **Afro** Tue 23 Oct 2018, 9:59 pm

Oh don’t worry. I’m still going for the title. Olly and Bam have it on a plate for them so the challenge of trying to knock them off their perch is one I’m looking forward too!

by Marky Tue 23 Oct 2018, 10:53 pm

I had a look into this today actually (like I said I'd do last Friday), looks like more in depth Tactics but once everyone has a template it'll be easier to do.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 24 Oct 2018, 1:42 am

Is it just for me that none of those hyperlinks work?

by Renege Wed 24 Oct 2018, 7:31 am

Just to check im on the right track before doing my bids later, it’s 1m budget for the draft and you can also use your starting budget if you want?

And secondly, is it highest bid for a player wins? So if someone bid 200k for Angel Gomes, and someone else 250k, he would go to the person who bid 250, no second bids for same players?

by **Afro** Wed 24 Oct 2018, 7:34 am

Dolph - not yet. Once the team pages are done, I’ll update with live links.

Rof - correct on both questions

by **Afro** Wed 24 Oct 2018, 8:59 am

Half the pages are up. I think pages are needed from:

$ka
Azzy
Nadz
Trebs
Odnan
Rof
Olly
Sod

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Wed 24 Oct 2018, 9:39 am

What’s the starting budget?

by **Afro** Wed 24 Oct 2018, 9:45 am

£1m towards draft
£1m starting budget

You can use some of your starting budget towards the draft, but any draft budget unspent you lose.

You will then also get £200k a week bonus if you submit tactics on time
