If you've ever played FM/CM you'll love this.

We played this before but think everyone took it too serious and thought the game would last forever by signing all the top young talents. What I propose is I set up a custom European/World Super League with the 20 best teams in
Europe/World with the knowledge it will likely last a few seasons meaning we wouldn't need to spend hours signing youngsters. Here is the original thread (http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=34212.0).
 
Sign up in thread, and at same time state which club you would like to manage. If players want the same team we will do a draw.

I appreciate this might not get enough interest but, if it does, as soon as we get a good amount of players interested then I'll set the game up.

yup

any team, don't need to give me a glamour one

ta

I'll have a go...random team

in as well

how about just doing the teams at random?

That's probably the best idea. I'll draw up the 20 best teams and randomly assign.

Yep, need another reason to procrastinate so count me in. Random team sounds good.

I'd like to play.  Any team is fine.

In.

why the hell not - im married now, have the time lol

superlol

Filling up much quicker than anticipated.

Everyone who is interested please sign up via the link in the opening post and await further details from myself (these will come when we fill up). Leagues of 20 so would be good to get a league filled.

Getting started guide: http://www.soccermanager.com/help.php?action=loadarticle&aid=89

havn't read, too busy today. but in for this

will rpely/pm you answers for othr thread tomorrow x

Gg, prob shouldn't say this too often though

In

GG Life.

Up to 11 now, hopeful of filling by tomorrow.

In

Would like Sampdoria or Valencia. Not too bothered tho

That's quite the request. Probably going to go with random though.

In

In.

Ok I signed up for an account. Waiting on further instructions.

Can you see individual player stats? Pace etc?

FINE

In please

Yasssss, we've got Horneris!

lol, can't remember how to play it or what you do in it but might keep me entertained for a while.

In please, although never played it last time around, or in fact.

Never heard of it to be fair! Easy to pick up? Time commitment seems alot judging by the long previous thread!

Have signed up but not selected country...

The last thread was full of transfer negotiations and crying/celebrating after the games.

Minimal commitment - Tighty has 25 teams, you will have one, so you can tell from that it isn't too bad.

Plus you will be on a relatively even playing field this time around - unlike Leeds verus Man U, Barca etc every game.

I've just logged on to my account, I didn't realise it was back in 2008 I created it and I even won a couple of trophies!    If anyone wants to invite me to a league whilst this one is being created I'd quite like to join I think.  Do I have to make a team first?

About to create the game now Silo so we should be good to go v soon. Read my next reply here and see what you think, advise needed.

Top 20 Euro teams???

Barca
Real
Man Utd
Man City
Bayern Munich
Chelsea
Porto
Dortmund
Arsenal
Athletico Madrid
AC Milan
Benfica
Valencia
Juventus
PSG
Lyon
Spurs
Inter Milan
Napoli
Liverpool

Thoughts on that as the top league? Others we can swap in potentially.....

Newcastle
Lille
Zenit
Marseille
Ajax
CSKA Moscow
Spartak Moscow
PSV
Bayer Leverkusen
Dynamo Kyiv
Shaktar
Everton
Malaga
Sporting Lisbon
Sporting Braga

Might be good to include Newcastle in the top league too - maybe at the expense of Valencia.

I guess it doesn't matter too much but someone give me their opinion before I set the game up.

league looks fine to me tbh

Dunno if there's still space but IN if there is.

ROOM FOR ONE MORE IN THE TOP LEAGUE.

Assigning teams shortly.

Newcastle OBV

Below are the teams that you have been randomly assigned. Thanks to Silo for helping. Full instructions will be with you this evening on how to join etc. I'm not adverse to two players swapping teams if both agree - both post in the thread if this is the case.

ok so what do we do now?

Full instructions tonight mate.

can sense this being quite an in depth scrap :)

Last time we played we had one large division of 20. Which meant 38 games, at two a week that is 19 weeks - this is perhaps a bit of a drag.

I propose divisions of 10 meaning the seasons will go much quicker and won't become stale.

Full setup this evening so you guys can discuss in the meantime - I am about to offline until about 6pm.

Should be a good bit of banter as between us we will have most of the top players in the World so transfers might take place solely between us and not the computer.

oi oiiii James Rodriquez, Hulk and Moutinho

Please can you set the game up right now, rumour has it that Zenit have put a 40m bid in for Hulk

gah, no news in either of the games I have set up at the moment!  I can see why people end up with so many teams.   

 LeedsRhodesy - Juventus...........sigh

lol, least you have Juve, I have Benfica...

oh, and happy either way whether it's 2 divisions of 10 or 1 of 20.

I've set the game up. It looks like the game is created by the gamemasters over night so we will be good to go first thing in the morning.

A few things:

Give this a quick once over at some point - http://www.soccermanager.com/help.php

We have 3 divisions of 10 - the top two divisions are all managed by us, the bottom division will be AI and can also be picked up by late blondes.

The game is called European Super Blonde League.

Do not bid for any players from the teams in the top two divisions until all managers have taken over their clubs.

Instructions on how to take over your team will be given tomorrow - I think I need to offer each team to the respective person.

thanks for running this scotty

No problem, it should be good fun (as long as you sell me Pato).

:)

Well it seems like it is confirmed now - the game was set-up before he went so I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Cazorla please

Do you have the game number please?

You are currently in position 2 in the Custom Game World creation queue. Up to 4 Game Worlds are created every hour between 09:00 and 20:00 Game Time

Tomorrow at 9.

I want to play!

Sure. Will give you details tomorrow. U will be in the third league and will have free pick of the teams - teams like Lille, Newcastle, Lyon, Leverkusen, Zenit, Shaktar....

Can't wait to get nicklas bendtnern into action

Newcastle please :)

THE GAME IS READY!!!!!!!!!!! LETS DO THIS!

Directions.....

> From your home page, select 'Add Club'.

> Hit the 'Club Search' tab.

> Type 143008 into the 'Game World ID Number Search'

> Click 'European Super Blonde League' and then select the team you have been allocated.

> I will then accept the application. Please make sure I know the name you are using - mail me in here if needs be.

Applied for Dortmund.

Everyone has a bunch of friendlies preset, every day from tomorrow until the first game of the season on the 9th. This will allow you to become more familiar with the game.

The SMFA allow for friendly games to be arranged between club teams within the same Game World.

In friendly games:

    Suspended players can play.
    Injured players can play.
    Players conditions are not reduced.
    Players cannot get injured.
    Yellow and red cards are not recorded.

So looking forward to this.

Let he bidding commence for Nani

£5

thanks IN

Ive applied for man city. Thought the transfer balance would be higher!

Someone nicked Barca ?

A random has applied for them. I will reject them now and you can go again.

Applied for NUFC :)

Yeah, I thought all the budgets would be higher. I asked Tighty for advise and he said to go with the default budgets. I have improved the ecomony to counteract it so it is easy to raise money.

Applied cheers. (Mal Gorse)

How long until I get control?

Well, here's the thing. Transfers go through overnight so if I accept some people just now they will have an unfair advantage. I don't know if I can trust everyone to not bid for anyone tonight. Might make sense for me to accept everyone in the AM.

I don't know how to bid for people so i'm safe lol. Never played it before so wouldn't mind a chance to have a dig around at it :)

Wise to wait - only takes one person to spoil things.

My thoughts too.

Will accept everyone tomorrow first thing, but please remember to not bid for players from any of the teams we will be managing. Reading the old thread, TheBaron raged when ChipRich pinched Daniel Agger before he could take over.

I've put a list of available teams in the opening post so if anyone is wanting to join they can see who is available.

Applied for Benfica

ha, pretty sure that was before we knew he wanted to take over though! but not 100%.


Applied to be Schalke anyway.

Applied to take over from Sir Alex.

What time will i set the alarm for tomorrow AM.

bit confused now

so in the morning when you unlock the game we can bid away aslong as the player isnt at a club which will become managed later?

Sorry for the confusion - you've got it spot on. For example, you know Real Madrid are going to be managed by a blonde member so would be rough if you pinch Ronaldo when he hasn't even joined the game yet.

ok but ok to buy from any other sides? and between eachother (if managed)

thanks

Yes.

My Liverpool side is fairly terrible, perhaps apart from the defence.

Steven Gerrard is going to be available, will be swapping him for a striker. When you guys sign in tomorrow, fire me some swap offers.

All my team is up for sale apart from Ibrahimovic and T.Silva.

Bid away!

You want Gerrard?

No loaning from unmanaged or external clubs
Maximum of 3 loaned in players
 
Transfer Rules

Can only have one active deal with one particular club at a time
Can only complete three deals with one particular club per season
Can only offer cash to unmanaged clubs (clubs in the league but without a manager)
Can offer cash and players in deals to external clubs (clubs not in any league)
 

All my team up for sale except James Rodriquez who will never leave under any circumstance

Hulk for Gerrard? Ok, deal.

WTF, just looked at your team, you've got 15 players loaned out! Some decent sellable assets too.

your Mum has some decent assets.  ;marks;

Scott looks like someone has pogged Real Madrid also

CAllum Morgan if you could reject them and accept me :)

done, go for it.

Swap for Kevin Gameiro?

done thanks will report back in the am :)

FYP

 ::)

When can we start.

Lets go!

Andy Carroll recalled and he goes straight into the squad for tonight's friendly. Please can everyone accept my transfer bids, thanks.

Wow.

One time Liverpool. Accept.

help needed

when i click confirm on an action (i.e. transfer listing someone) nothing happens

So, transfer status and then select transfer list, then put a value in and hit confirm transfer status? Worked for me. And Man U have someone listed too.

U rejected?? Surely you won't be playing that guy? Wee loan deal to me and I'll get him back to you. He'll play much more often at Anfield.

yes doing that

just doesnt seem to recognise the fact im clicking confim

TightEnd will know the answer.

In the meantime, if you're buying players from a non-managed club you can offer those players as part exchange anyway and the clubs will accept.

We can maybe do a deal for Johnston???

works ok in internet explorer not in chrome

That's a pain. I'm using Firefox and fine in that too fwiw.

Had it working fine in Chrome yesterday.   

ok weird

well it works in chrome but cant action anything

no problems can use ie for it

Have applied for chelsea as requested

Not sure if it is too much trouble, but would rather be one of these

Ajax
Leverkusen
Lille
Lyon
Marseille
Shaktar
Sporting
Zenit

More of a challenge, new players to look at etc etc

Let me know what's possible scotty

FYP

some bids have been made and some players transfer listed

When you see a decent prospect that you want to sign, do you go and buy it on all your teams?

Why is the forecast for my home friendly -3oC and Snow when it's the beginning of September!

Oh and GTFO anyone trying to take my good players :)

£18 million is a lot of money pal.........just click yes you know you want to

Happy for people to drop to a lower team. Apply for who you wish Tighty.

I will accept £25 million.

Scotty (or anyone else) what's the policy on bidding for players in unmanaged teams in Div 3 that may at somepoint get taken by a Blonde but aren't currently e.g Lille

Is it fair game?

Fair game as is

After a while though as the managed clubs are left as half eaten carcasses by the managed club vultures, they will be unattractive as an option to manage. The AI leaves all unmanaged clubs with 21 players minimum but there's not filter for quality/rating.

So the admin setting to make it impossible to buy from league unmanaged clubs is usually used IF it is expected more people will be attracted to fill the elague up

You Newcastle people know how to get more money for players but sorry I'm not Liverpool and will not be doing that cos I might end up selling him in a seasons time for £1 million

I have just bid for a Chelsea player thinking tighty was boss!! What do I do now there are unmanaged? Can I cancel it

Horseplayer you can have Sakho for 18 million.

scotty authorise my team please mate...

Or a straight swap for Montolivo

monto is going nowhere im afraid

my last offer stands

Definitely fair game.

Cancel it. I stated so many times not to bid for players in the top two leagues.

Been a while since I played this but I can assume that if anyone bids for my players, those are the ones I shouldn't sell, because they're the good ones.

Time to plug my quiz which takes place this evening! If anyone in this game wins then they shall win £1,000,000 off the next transfer they have with me :)

http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=58888.0

Depends. Last time I found some players just didn't play well so god rid, regardless of rating.

Apologies to anyone waiting on me to accept them, only on my phone and it jumps to a mobile version which doesn't seem to give me the ability to do so.

scilian and Tighty, you guys are good to go.

Tighty, can you explain to Rhodesy how to cancel his bids please?

Scotty can GTFO.

That is all  ;gobsmacked; ;gobsmacked; :redcard:

Swapping my best player for one of your squad players seemed fair to me.

Hahaha. Ye but you wanted more than one.

Only on loan!

Put a bid in and it appears in your Inbox under overview

At any point before it is completed, click on the players name then transfer/loan bids then withdraw offer if you wish to

logged on, but can't find the "game world" to enter?

Any help?

go to "Add New Club"

click on Club Search

click on Find Game World

Enter 143008, I think

Click on the club you want

Click Take Control

Thanks, and done.  I just noticed the instuctions scotty gave.  Apologies.  Applied for Arsenal

You're in Waz.

Check your messages waz

You know it makes sense....

I'll take an unmanaged team please. Are they allocated. Can I have the toon

Tighty changed his mind on Chelsea, you want them? Newcastle now taken.

pleno where are you???? Spurs are waiting!

Excellent I'll get on it now..


Will do right now Sir....

when are the friendlys played i have no time to have a play yet so any bids for my players will be ignored until later!! just didnt know if i twas worth spending some time tinkering before the friendly probably hve to wait till tomorrows game!

Can't see any message??

Are all players in now? I've got a bid from man u.

Ye and it makes sense mate. ;whistle; ;whistle; ;whistle; :)up

You have a friendly every day this week but it's no big deal if you forget etc as it takes no energy or that from your players. Just a way of getting used to the game engine etc.

PLEASE DO NOT BID FOR PLAYERS FROM INTER, CHELSEA OR SPURS!!!!

norrrrr, friendly result in.

Lost 3-1 to Inter.

Managed to get. 3-3 draw after being 1-3 down.

Happy but tweaks required.

0-0 away to Bayern, take that.

Wiiiii 4-2 win against benfica.

Who runs man utd? Can I improve offer?

Misread by me, lost 3-2. Big Andy Carroll bagged a double.

When you "play match" it's quality, with the FM style text commentary as a pbp.

Hopefully I get some signings in this week cos just looking at the respective lineups, Bayern were much stronger all over.

Still nothing? Am I looking in right place?  Envelope top left!?

Yeah pretty decent squad tbh, a couple of worldies, 20 decent players, cover in all positions etc

3-0 win first game cannot argue all down to my squad selection (thanks computor)

Gah, lost 1-2

any option to stop the tutorials from contining to pop in everytime you re-visit that page?

Desmond with Zenit after going behind twice, new formation for tomorrows game v Levurkusen I think.

Beat Lyon 2-0 at their place.

Sorry I was allocated Inter but I'm not going to have time to play so you can remove me and someone else can them.
Best of luck all.

I would like to play please.

I've joined the comp, just need allocated a team.

Will take Inter off of Dazzlers hands if that's an option but any team in any division is great.

Yeah take Inter. PM me your name in the game so I know it's you.

4th month is invoice day. Here now though and on it.

How do I find my team? All ican see is Newcastle in a different league.

Can't find club search tab. I'm on phone

K I applied

Any other drop outs?

i think there are still plenty of teams available as far as i am aware!

Francisco FERNANDO has completed his move to Juventus from FC Porto for £15,000,000

It was a pleasure doing business with you LeedsRhodesy

Look like transfers aren't completed overnight, they take up to 24hrs. Fingers crossed I get the guys I need in.

and what are the data packs?  do we need them?

alright im sorted, few transfer requests in etc.

gl all.

Real action starts Sunday, so 4 days to get used to tactics and get signings in.

Get involved Sov. Everton, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Leverkusen, Ajax, Sporting Lisbon....

Could you send again, as still nothing, if you're still interested in whatever it was.

so who is interested in bale?..

Gerrard and cash?

No mate, looking for younger players.

bale yes i am

also interested in getting rid of parker depending on offer.

What about Lennon? And Walker? They available?

Hahahahaha WP pads.

Nice online chat with Pads trying to tell me i needed a Midfielder. Im MAN U im going win the lot.....

anybody is available if the price is right.

Is there a way of checking if any of the players have been nabbed!?

Prob go Ajax or everton

For Everton, a few teams are in for Fellaini (sp?) I'd get there quick and accept my offer cancel them all if you want them

Notice I'm playing a team managed by Rich Prew tonight. Feel like I'm about to pit wits against Sir Alex. Wish me luck.

Jesús NAVAS has completed his move to Liverpool from Sevilla for £7,800,000 plus Jay SPEARING and Fabio BORINI

Needed him.

Missed out on so many players. Neymar, Fellaini, Llorente :-(

Weeeee, got fellaini

The deal for Marouane FELLAINI has collapsed as Juventus have insufficient funds to complete the deal

The undisclosed deal involving Marouane FELLAINI of Everton and Liverpool has collapsed as Liverpool do not have the available funds.

Marouane FELLAINI has completed his move to Dortmund from Everton for £15,275,000. All other offers were turned down.

Lucky if you asked me

applied for zenit

chris vickers

so excited!  love this kind of thing

Its brill.

Wish we could have more than 1 deal going with the same deal.

Scotty can we look at changing it???

I cant wait to get started.

Is messi available?

One deal with the same deal??

Think he ment 1 deal with the same club

Yep sorry.

That's a Soccer Manager rule, probably to avoid abuse.

keeps it realistic as well

So Man Utd would buy more than 2 players from the same team??

Hardly unrealistic.

You can buy 3 from the same club per season.

i sold bale .. may live to regret.

Wow. Bold move.

1 min to kick off

4-1 vs away at Scotty's Liverpool, gtfo!

Brent Horner steered FC Porto to victory against Dortmund.

FC Porto beat Dortmund 2 - 1 in their Friendly fixture.

Rodriguez scored a goal and was later voted Man of the Match for his performance.

Story checks out

how long does it take to get activated?

raring to go!

in

got 7m to spend.  its burning a hole in my pocket...

Hope this keeps up for the coming season..away to Real Madrid... !!!!

Dean Morris steered Napoli to victory against Real Madrid.

Napoli outclassed Real Madrid and beat them 1 - 0 in their Friendly fixture.

Vargas scored the winner for Napoli and was later voted Man of the Match for his performance.

Beat Shakatar 2-1 out there. Newcastle at home tomorrow.

Damn. Just read the PBP, got battered. Possession was key, only had 34% - not playing direct again!

How did you do AndrewT I saw you were 1-0 up with 5 mins to go

You've only got 7m? That's terrible. Feel free to try another team if you'd like?

And Navas sent off on his debut. Great.

Saves me checking.  Formation change on the cards for tomorrow

Ground out a draw away at PSG, satisfactory start

I'm a master tactician so money in the bank is irrelevant.

Being my first ever game, i'm not sure if i can class myself as a master tactician just yet but i'm going to.

few offers made, looking to bring in a striker & AM.  bit shocked by some of the valuations of my fellow managers, whoever is managing manchester united needs to have another look at anderson, think you may have mistakenly doubled your asking price...

Sigh.

Wow got proper dumped by Liile, 4-1!

Reasonable debuts for my 2 new ones up front in the 2nd half.

Question, may sound silly, but is the balance that you see also you transfer budget?  Or can you go over this, on the assumption that the club will gain revenues throughout the season?

hope so, as it would make more sense?

Victor Moses an option?

Don't think you can go into the negative but I've made it so money should be easy enough to raise.

Since we have the majority of the top players between us transfers might be rare to begin with. Think when certain players don't play well during season we'll see more deals.

oops

In another of my games, I've bid on two goalies, I get the option to cancel one if they both accept don't I?

i cant seem to get the instant chat to work.  so im not ignoring anybody!

Give me a shout.

Some managers go for youth.  I am very much in the 'experience wins you games' camp.

Should anyone have seasoned veterans they are looking to offload, preferably 35 years of age and above, then hit me up on the game.

I am Inter.  They are very old anyway.  And we are going to play a slow, methodical, intelligent style.  Anyway, I've given too much away.  Ship me the oldies please.

stupid chat - ffs

ricardov83 - check out the zenit squad, got some excellent prospects for you to have a look at.

anybody else having issues with the site, im using google chrome & it is constantly crashing & i cant seem to receive chat messages although i can send them... :(

played my youth team and let the assitant manager take control this wont be happening again he has now been sacked!

Site Down?

I'm on IE.  Happened earlier today too, but came back on pretty soon?

Where is the chat function? Also how do you allow Subs? I've played two games and not one sub has come on so far?

back on all good

Leandro DAMIÃO has completed his move to Schalke from Internacional

Silva NEYMAR has completed his move to Schalke from Santos

Igor AKINFEEV has completed his move to Schalke


joy. Wasnt hopeful of even getting 1 of the 1st 2. Got both!


Lost Farfan in the Neymar deal though who was huge in the friendly vs Liverpool tonight. Hopefully Neymar can more than fill his boots!

I got priced out of the Neymar deal cos I couldn't reall afford to swap two players plus cash. Was the first player I checked on the game though. Didn't even think of Damaio though, nice touch.

Farfan was good against me, you're right, so Neymar better click straight away.

Click tactics  then next to The match day tab click on in Game insturctoins and it's all there

Not game Brent ?

Hart and De Gea swap deal, oh my.

Keen to move Gerrard on, he's a 92 rating but happy to accept 91s as exchange. Wingers, wide midfielders or attacking mid.

Which teams are we not allowed to buy players from?

No restrictions now.

Assou Ekotto/Dawson both for sale at cheapish prices.

Run another game alongside this one with the 20 premier league teams? Might mean more transfer activity.

Can someone who just joined the game tell me how many clubs it states you can manage? Think there might be a clause where you need to play a few weeks before you can manage more than one club. Could be wrong.

Think Assou-E and Dawson would be snapped up if we were the 20 PL sides.

only just joined and there is space for another club

been quite a few transfers already for a few days tbf

Willing to let a winger go for Gerard have a look at my team

Been a decent amount. I just envisage a time where no one wants to sell anyone or swap cos they have the perfect team. I guess there is downsides to all kinds of setups.

Gervinho up for grabs, Arashavin, Rosicky too.

get your prices sorted! you an man united are killing the market here.

Mailed you in game

In for second team.

Pls can I have someone good? Zenit is a tough gig!

Open to offers for any of the 3, subject to my chairmans own minimum fee, I can't control this - or can I?

Well played Horneris...


Horner Warns off suitors

Posted by: Brent Horner (FC Porto) Thursday, September 6, 2012
We managed to catch up with the esteemed young Porto manager Brent Horner earlier today. He had the following to say "I've had numerous enquiries about centre midfielder Joao Mountihno. I would like to tell you all categorically that no amount of money could take Joao away from this club. We are shooting for Division 1 Glory this year and selling our captain, our playmaker and our everything would not be in line with the ambitions we hope to acheieve. I am not building a team here in Porto, I am building an empire. And Joao is my leader."

2-2.  1-1.   3-2L.   

Thought this was going to be easy  :D

Competition Message

Brent Horner steered FC Porto to victory against Manchester United.

FC Porto beat Manchester United 3 - 0 in their Friendly fixture.

Rakitic scored a brace and was later voted Man of the Match for his performance.

Deece debut!

oioiiii, 2-1 away at Milan.

Scored the winner in a 3-2 win tonight vs barc

Warren Fenwick steered Arsenal to victory against Borussia Dortmund.

Arsenal beat Borussia Dortmund 2 - 1 in their Friendly fixture.

Oxlade-chamberlain and Gameiro were amongst the goalscorers.

Nice debut for a first full start, Ox opened the scoring after 2mins

MONTOLIVO is now on the transfer list

cash only please need some funds for some deals i have setup

Scott Campbell steered Liverpool to victory against Benfica.

Liverpool outclassed Benfica and beat them 4 - 1 in their Friendly fixture.

Mcclean scored a brace and was later voted Man of the Match for his performance.

Allen and Skrtel were also amongst the goalscorers.

YASSSSSSS

All lowered to as low as the chairman allows

I'm trying to do a swop deal but my chairman keeps blocking it

Rhodsey, lets get our deal done tonight.

My chairman is blocking the deal

Boom beat real away from home 5-2

Fingers crossed you can workout a package suitable for him to agree...and me to like!

SZCZESNY listed now.  Listen to offers

Roll on Sunday though, for the real games.

ambrosini also available if you need a classy veteran

I am really pants at this! My players are all getting beaten tonight

Anyone sold to an external club yet? Does that happen Tighty? I've forgotten.

When I was on before, unmanaged clubs seemed to bid for their rl players. They bought of the transfer list too.

Workmanlike - 1-0, Hazard delivers

Yay, now W 1 D 1 L 1

Haven't bought anyone. Not played this before so not really any idea of who is good or not.

Is the only stat players have the rating? e.g. on CM/FM players had about 30 different stats. Do you not end up with situations where two 90 rated players are essentially identical?

Lol


Internazionale have swooped in and signed Free Agent Emile HESKEY for £2,100,000.

Yeah, it's just the sole rating. Just like FM/CM, it's simply a database management thing. Tactics are probably most important, counteracting what the other team are likely to do.

This is basically a no-brainer. I can only assume the rest of you didn't know he was available.

Partnering him with Owen?

3-3-4 when I play you then

Why? Is he planning on playing Heskey at the back?

I like what Spurs are doing in the transfer market.

Haha levelling? :p 3 new guys in tomorrow.

norrr, played them again tonight. Lost 3-0 at home! sigh.

Division 2 looks ridic tough btw! Real Madrid, Chelsea, Man City, PSG, Milan, Valencia, Munich, Dortmund, Chelsea, Spurs! Going to be tough to get out of this division.
 
Division 1 has teams like, Napoli, Porto, Atletico, Inter, Benfica!

Rigged !

revenge is sweet sir

the new promising number 9 started well

Hud that Barca, 4-0 at the Nou Camp.

Fml, lost again, I've not even had a draw yet

Getting spanked  :D

P4. W0. D2. L2. F5. A10.

Booooooom. Won 4-0 away  with new signing fernando scoring his 2nd for the club

Beat Tighty fc

Warren Fenwick was unable to prevent a Arsenal defeat to Napoli.

Arsenal slumped to a 2 - 1 defeat to Napoli in their Friendly fixture.

Cazorla was on the scoresheet for his side.



Slumped???   bit harsh, we had neearly 50% possesion and 18 shots at goal, 14 on target!

W4-2, L 4-1, W 2-1, L 2-1

P4, W2, L2, F8, A9.  entertaining at least

Only lost 1-0 to Real Madrid. Stats make it look like we weren't completely dominated too so happy with that :)

I don't know if everyone knows but you can recall players that are currently out on loan - good use as extra bodies in swap deals etc.

lost to madrid 2-0, never really in the game with 37% possesion.  tough gig.

Get easier now tho with first game of the season...vs Barc!

Liverpool's good pre-season form continued with a come-from-behind victory over a strong Chelsea side. Navas is proving inspirational, definitely going to be my key man. Real deal tomorrow against Juve, just saw they've sold Buffon which is a bonus.

mal gorse steered Barcelona to victory against Benfica.
Barcelona hammered Benfica 6 - 0 in their Friendly fixture.
Villa was impressive and scored a hat-trick, later being voted Man of the Match for his performance.

Tottenham continued after wins against Shaktar, Bayern and Milan by beating Inter Milan 1-0.

Great 1-0 away win to Liverpool should of been 5/6  missed 2 pens

shocking start

some egos have been dropped and unsung heros put in for the next game

1-1 away to Chelsea, will take that.

mal gorse steered Barcelona to victory against Arsenal.
Barcelona outclassed Arsenal and thrashed them 5 - 0 in their Division 1 fixture.

Alves and Pedro were also amongst the goalscorers.

I got a goal disallowed, even game.

Suarez got a match rating of 4 and Navas got a 3, WTF!

In the Prew Championship  9 man Napoli managed to hold out for 2-1 win against Sevilla.

nice win for you, I may have got my tactics wrong!

Scott's what's  the deal with the SMFA championship ?

hmmm, 0-0 away at Valencia.

They had 10 men for 60 mins though and 9 men for last few mins. Maybe let 3 points get away here.

Sigh. Ben Arfa out for a month :(

hahaha, pretty sick.

After betting Porto tonight I think I have to be fav to win the league

ha I played my subs away at Juve and still only lost 3-2, thats ok.

Valdez is Tez.

deece, 2-1 vs Milan.

happy with our performance considering we were with ten men basically throughout :(

Sigh. Another injury :(

But two 3-1 wins is a nice start to the campaign.

Gave Barca another going over. Drogba on fire! Mon the Reds!

Warren Fenwick earned a draw with Arsenal against Napoli.

The match ended 1 - 1 between Arsenal and Napoli in their Division 1 fixture.

Cazorla scored the only goal for Arsenal and was later voted Man of the Match for his performance


P2, Got battered 1, drew 1.  Much better performance, and should have won really, but 100% better than the debacle that was Barc.

oops, forgot about this til now for past 2 games.

Lost 1-0 away at Bayern but at least i knocked BH's Division 1 Porto out the cup, gtfo.

all gone quite!

Calling the Real Madrid manager, entered a bid for a player...awaiting news?

Warren Fenwick steered Arsenal to victory against Juventus.

Arsenal hammered Juventus 5 - 0 in their Division 1 fixture.

Llorente scored a goal and was later voted Man of the Match for his performance.

Gibbs and Defoe were also amongst the goalscorers.

3 bookings not clever, and have been informed lost Denilson for 7 weeks with fracturued Collarbone (walcott too, but with minor heel injury, missing for 3 days) However, well played boys, great result. After the initial hiccup against Barc (my own doing in tactics) happy with the progress.

Napoli div2, who you got ?

Take any team you want that is unmanaged

Thanks, in with Spurs (Arsenal in other game, so seemed like fun!)

Inter been busy in transfer market

no-one left in the market!!!!

Got Dempsey, Mvila,Zhirkov and Dembele in.
Dempsey n Dembele were unattached.

See you got Fellani and Llorente, deece.

Just bid on players from other teams, ignore the list.  I've just put in a bid fora Tighty player, I'm sure he'll accept it later ;)

Van wolfswinkel will tear up the PL. dzagoev is a maestro. Diary is a massive donkey and heskey was a comedy buy that may turn into a managerial master stroke. 

Fun start to the season,

How many teams are promoted/relegated in scotts league?

3, for added excitement.

Got Porto in Tightys league who are an absolute bag of Shite.

 Sneidjer.   Cambiasso.  Fellini


                     Cassano

       Lorrente.            Cisse



Deeeeeeece

Another superb performance away from home

4-0 against benfica. Club record of 4 undefeated, record away win.

Very happy with our start.

(first game for spurs in Prew Championship also resulted in a great 3-0 win away!)

Brent Horner steered FC Porto to victory against Barcelona.

FC Porto outclassed Barcelona and beat them 2 - 0 in their Division 1 fixture.

Romulo and Rodriguez were amongst the goalscorers.

10 men, over 60% possession, how ?

I mainly put it down to our work on the training pitch, I adopt a strict "two touch" approach.

Beat Milan 2-0

This looks incred.

Scotty, I've applied for Ajax in the Blonde league, hope it's ok to get involved in this late on.  If not just let me know.

Napoli beat Liverpool 3 - 1 in their Division 1 fixture.

Gamberini scored a goal and was later voted Man of the Match for his performance.

Cavani and Veloso were also amongst the goalscorers.

GIQ

Ha, tika taka ftw.

This is getting annoying. Won my first few games but lost all since.

Lost my last game 1-0.

Opposition had 1 shot on target.

My goalkeeper awarded man of the match.

Someone please explain.

(Lost another game by 2 goals. Opposition only had 2 on target...)

Warren Fenwick steered Arsenal to victory against fierce rivals Manchester United.

Arsenal beat Manchester United 3 - 2 in their Division 1 fixture.

Defoe scored all 3 goals for Arsenal and was later voted Man of the Match for his performance.

Arsenal have now won 4 games in a row after beating Manchester United setting a new club record.

After their result against Manchester United, Arsenal are now unbeaten in 5 games setting a new club record for most games unbeaten in a row.

hahaha, world.

Played my complete 2nd team to rest players vs Plenos Spurs. 1-0, Carlos Fierrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrro.

Arsenal bagged 5 in a row!  unbeaten in 6.

3-0 away against Inter.  Thrilled!  Top scoreres, Top assits and Top 2 avg ratings.

Prew-Champs, a nice win too against Marsielle, 3-0. Solardo hatrick. Unbeaten since I took over.

Arsenal maintain the great run...Winning 6 in a row, 7 unbeaten.  Stretching our lead at the top.

Prew-Champs - Spurs gained a nice 1-1 draw and remain unbeaten so far.

Thread seems to have slowed up though?

Undone by the bottom side, 3-1!!  They had 8 players that were NMF!! 

Frustrating

PREW-champs - lost 1-0.

not happy!

Think I'm through to the final of the blonde Cup having beaten Man Utd 1-0 tonight!

Maybe it's a two leg thing, I'm not really sure.

So, I won the cup :)

Congrats!

 :)up

A good week after the debacle that was last week!

Arsenal beating Napoli 1-0. Ramsey s/off in 90min tho and he i on fire at present. Top still which is fun!

Spurs in the Prew champs a 1-1 draw away at barc which I was delighted about. Mid week also saw my asst manager draw 3-3 with Madrid and win on pens to get to the 4th rnd of the cup.

A good week all round.

(Anyone know a quicker way to get these points, I have 1800odd and need 15000 I think to become full manager and stop my pesky asst manager from doing these cup games. And I'd like the opp to be intl manager too!?)

Quickest way is to buy coins but I think it's only 3000 now for a monthly membership if you fancy giving it a whirl before you buy.   I'd quite like membership too, just to accept the international jobs that I keep getting offered. 

The first team I signed up for was Arsenal in a random league.  They had over £300m in cash which was attractive so I took charge.  What I didn't think of was that all my decent players had been fleeced and as it's a big league, all  the decent players in the world are playing for other teams and I can't get anyone to sell me a star player.  Tempted to quit them and join a new league with Arsenal.

Being the compulsive addict that I am I now have 21 teams????

If any of you want me to send some tokens so you can be a gold member for a month let me know. Once you have accrued enough or buy some more you can send me mine back.

lol 21 teams :D

How the hell did I lose 7-0 last night.  I'm not the best team but I've just won the cup!  7-0!!!!  Heads will roll

Areanal gap is now down to 1 point after losing to another team towards the bottom again who played with many players NMF!!??

Prew champs, got stuffed 4-1! Needs addressing!

Warren Fenwick steered Arsenal to victory against Juventus.

Arsenal outclassed Juventus and beat them 2 - 1 in their Division 1 fixture.

Mertesacker had an impressive game and was voted Man of the Match.

Podolski was on the scoresheet for his side.

they had 10 men mind, but still took a 89min winner.  had a goal disallowed, and 35 shots overall!

Anyone know if NMF actually matters?  Played both Liverpool and Juve who had both several players NMF like below 25%, and yet lost 3-1 to liverpool, and struggled to get past Juve.

I assume it miust count for something, otherwise why bother stating it?

Ahh, Brent's done the double.

sorry only just noticed this... Thanks, but I'll rack them up and see where I go from there. 

Arsenal win away at Man Utd 2-0, solid enough with over 30 shots again.

4pts clear, 3 to play.  Going to be exciting run in.  Erm mind games, Barc are obv favourites....etc!


Spurs, up and down, but a nice win this week.  Pretty comfy 2-1 vs Liile.  Squad needs sorting though...lots to do over the up and coming weeks.

Looks sewn up Waz, gg.

I see you've also started the mind games!..  ;) :)

86min saviour this week with a draw against  inter.

2 games to go, 2 pts in it

Prew Champ - spurs, not a good game, and deserved loss.  Just can't get my team or squad settled...we continue

To the wire in Division 1

Arsenal are in Pole Position by 2pts with slightly better GD so all to play for, all to lose!

(congrats to Tightend for securing the only title so far)


PREW - A well deserve win for Spurs even with 10men for 3/4 of the game

1pt needed Waz  ;grr;

managers resigning ?

Yeah I saw this too, quite a few in recent days.  Not sure why either!?

You get booted if you don't log in for a while.  Maybe ~2 weeks, can't remember exactly.

Its a non-reality strategy, online something to do bit of fiun I'm fully aware, but in the same manner I loved it when I'd win a game etc playing the Spectrum 128+ Football Director or "Play by Mail Football games..


wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Arsenal won the League with a 5-0 win over Liverpool securing the 2 points needed to secure the title. Good job too as Barc scrapped a 7-1 win to push it to the wire.

PREW Champs - Spurs got stuffed 5-2...I can't be in 2 places at once! lol

Beat relegation on the last day by winning 4-1 and Real Madrid lost to bottom place Spuds.

What happens now? New League?

Assume so, by the looks of the calender a break for 10days, as its all greyed out and stated " in close season"  However my first season so just a guess.

I'm still playing

Still playing

1st game of the season - 1 down after 60secs!....Got back to 1-1.  Better than me first ever game...Away to Barc 5-0.  Allen new signing settled in well.

PREW game - spurs, 1-1, just cant get going with them.

3-1 win.

Tightys league, on a run of 5 wins in a row atm. 3 points off top.

Warren Fenwick was unable to prevent a Arsenal defeat to Manchester City.

Arsenal slumped to a 3 - 2 defeat against Manchester City in their Division 1 fixture.

Defoe scored a goal and was later voted Man of the Match for his performance.

Gameiro was also on the scoresheet for his side.


P2, W0, D1, L1.  Not the best start to retaining the title!  In both games last 5minutes goals cost me points. 

Some stern words required.

Transfers broken ?

Arsenal/Barc - 1st and 2nd last season

6 games in bottom 2 - go figure

combined unbeaten in 5, Arsenal 2 wins on trot now, and spurs (in prew champs) unbeaten in 4, and 3 wins on trot.

Stern words obviously worked.

Barca continue to disappoint.

Incredible run for Napoli in the Prew though, 15 games unbeaten including 13 wins.  3 games remain, 1 win guarantees promotion, 2 the title.

Loving that!

Can I apply for the vacant manager's position at Everton please?  What happened to David Moyes?

congrats to Nathan prew in winner the PREW Champs with Real Madrid.

My Tottenham finished 10th after a flurry of 5 wins in the last 6 games.

In Scotts game - My Arsenal are now playing much better and unbeaten in the last 5 games. Currently 7th but only 4pts behind leaders City.  It is very tight league.

The Napoli run was 17 games unbeaten in the end 15 wins. Lost the last game of the season but the title was won.

Cristal hangovers obv.

Signed van Persie.. Scored 2 made 1 on debut sends us top with 3 games to go.... Hopefully puzzle almost complete

One of the teams I've got.

After their result against Tamworth, Stockport County are now unbeaten in 30 games setting a new club record for most games unbeaten in a row.

 ;hattip;

Oioi 6 wins on the bounce to steal title on last day  ;sexybanana;

congrats.  I saw that PSG scored in the 80min to beat Napoli for you.

Though I thought your oppenents tonight were rubbish!


But nice one, 2nd and 1st in 2 seasons.

Disaster... we had it there for the taking and we blew it sigh....

mal gorse has guided Barcelona to a SMFA Champions Cup Final win against Queens Park Rangers!! Barcelona beat Queens Park Rangers 4 - 1 in the final to lift the trophy.

Messi scored a goal and was later voted Man of the Match for his performance.

Fàbregas and Iniesta were also amongst the goalscorers.

Ship the £5 million.

 ;hattip;

Ha, tbf the team gets picked automatically.

SSC Napoli (Dean Morris)

you dirty dirty leeds type team.  ;yellowcard;

2 players out with broken bones after 90mins against you!!

 :P

LOL were Eyeties wot did you expect..

arsenal gone proper pear shape - no idea why?!!  Lost 6/6 games to fall way off the title race.

I was pld 8, w 6 d 2.....

now

pld 14, 6 ,2 ,6

flirted with relegation this season , no idea why - maybe thats the issue!?

Finished 5th, with a last game win (my first in 9) against 2nd, who if they'd won would have nicked the title?! - Go figure

congrats to Barc - again for winning the title.

2nd 1 game to go, need to better Bayerns result last game to win a 3rd title on the bounce.
