Gaming The SM RedCafe League

Tonight it's a third v first Manchester Derby as United visit the Etihad. With United having no Kroos and City being at home, the team in blue are surely favourites.

Another talking point is Mbappe is set to lead the line against the manager he scored 53 goals and assisted 66 times for in just 94 league appearances. Mbappe is also currently United's top scorer this season with 12 goals and 9 assists in just 17 games

Feel like tonight will be the night Mbappe comes back to bite me in the arse, hopefully he'll be kind on me after our years at the Harriers :lol:

Good luck tonight @Damien!
 
Griezmann injured 2 weeks though. LOL.

+ Kroos still out for over a month. Jesus christ.

Yep, called it :rolleyes:
He missed a penalty in the first half too! Got lucky. Good game. 4 point lead which won't last for long with four starters out
 
The stats were even but an 89th minute Mbappe goal saw the visitors emerge triumphant 2:1 over hosts City. However, there were many casualties with Griezmann picking up a hefty injury while both centrebacks miss the loss to Darlington on Sunday.

You'll be fine @Damien
For loaning players or in terms of my ever expanding injury list? @RedSky has already put a curse on me

Can you end this curse you've put on me anytime soon please, Phil? Thanks.
At this rate when we play I'll have to end up starting Brahim. Griezmann also conveniently misses our game.
That's a pity. You'll be fine though, can't possibly get any more injuries/suspensions can you?

Managed to get all my players the minutes they needed for the first 12 games at least. Shouldn't get any concerns tomorrow. Those injuries look even worse laid out like that (you're game #15).
Be a shame if someone like Boateng or Ramos got injured too. Heck Isco/Eriksen/Pogba would be terrible for you as well.

On-going: Turkey 1.Lig I don't know what league they are reviewing anymore
 
The way they add new players is so fecking random and they take forever to add obvious players.
 
Tonight it's a third v first Manchester Derby as United visit the Etihad. With United having no Kroos and City being at home, the team in blue are surely favourites.
Another first v third game tonight - just one match after the last one. With United having no Kroos, Griezmann, Ramos or Boateng (their four highest rated outfield players), Darlington are clear favourites to close the gap at the top to just one point.
 
Lost 3:1, unsurprisingly. Had no player higher than 83 rated to choose from whereas they had five. Weird thing is, despite the margin of defeat, one of my attackers was voted MOTM.

Pretty pleased. Tonight was always going to be a question of how much United would lose by and my third string side with three loanees lost 1:0 to a full strength Liverpool team featuring Bale, Salah, Dybala, Ozil, De Bruye and many more - plus United dominated the stats.

Dear SM Redcafe Board,

I am writing in support of Damien, Wino and infamous7's application for a pardon. We were all wrongfully punished on a technicality that had not been clearly stipulated and for a crime that none of us were guilty for.
I am writing to have our names cleared from the records and the 1st violation removed as now the month sentence has been fulfilled.

Sincerely,
infamous7
 
Won 1:0 away to Sunderland and picked up two more serious injuries as punishment.

Put an application in to rejoin the league @Damien.

Was a shame to see City go but I've had a mental summer and wasn't able to give Sm (or the Caf) any time at all. Think I lost all three of my clubs on there as I didn't get chance to log in for a good 2 months which was annoying. Pleased to see @gaz1185 get the job though, I remember him wanting it over 5 years ago when I got it. :)

Today's transfers:

MK Dons - cash bids accepted for 4 players (current players: 52, these take it to 56 which is OVER FFP limit of 54 - withdraw 2 bids before bids go through @Springfield WildCats or receive a 1 month transfer ban)
Aston Villa - cash bids accepted for 4 players (current players: 47, these take it to 51 which is below FFP limit of 52)
Arsenal - cash bid accepted for 1 player (current players: 46, this takes it to 47 which is below FFP limit of 48)
Fulham - cash bid accepted for 1 player (current players: 50, this takes it to 51 which is below FFP limit of 52)
Hereford United - p/ex for 1 player (current players: 57, this takes it to 57 which is at FFP limit of 57)
Nottingham Forest - p/ex for 1 player (current players: 52, this takes it to 52 which is at FFP limit of 52)
Southend United - cash bid accepted for 1 player, p/ex for another (current players: 54, these take it to 55 which is at FFP limit of 55)
Wolves - cash bid accepted for 1 player (current players: 51, this takes it to 52 which is at FFP limit of 52)
 
@Damien

Shouldn't placing the bid itself call for the ban? The rule says any bid "made" triggers it, doesn't matter whether the guy withdraws it later or not.

"For teams with squads below the FFP, any bid made on a player shall be assumed to be won by the team bidding, and included in determining your squad limit for FFP."
 
The rule was created to stop managers from playing the odds and thus reducing other peoples chances of getting a player. If he withdraws before the transfer is completed everything is fine.
 
Yeah, sounds reasonable that. Should have clarified before, would have bid for the Barca RB then :(
