Gaming The SM RedCafe League

Yeah, I played Merino in 2 games in the league (1 start, 1 sub) when he had a level 1 concern and he still rose in concern. Entitled 82 rated players these days... I'm not going to loan him out but if he gets to a level 4 concern I'll do like what JB has seemingly done with Vazquez.

I'm not as involved in the game as before so I didn't bother but such deals aren't in the spirit of the game imo as it's just circumventing ffp. Ditto with some other deals that have been happening of late.

I agree on the whole - definitely with players in the 90s - and I wouldn't have that sort of deal for one of my 90+ rated players. With a player like Merino who gets an inexplicable concern I don't see the issue as much but I wouldn't be making a habit of it.

City and MK Dons are the worst for players with concerns. I manage to control mine fine on the whole.

Loan status:

Hazard - Leeds
Tielemans - Ipswich
Zappacosta - Barnsley
Hendrix - Leicester

Available:

88s: Silva, Bruma, Torres
87s: Bazoer, Barbosa, Embolo, Ramirez
86: Ake

Rest are 85 n below.

I'll not be loaning out anyone below 80 to help the lower clubs get more loans in. Wouldn't loan out anyone at all to unmanaged clubs but don't want to risk shitty concerns with the 80s guys. Couple of cnuts in the 70s still managed to pick concerns last season though :lol:

I'll continue with him, if that's ok

Yeah, it's a totally different thing for some low rated guy getting a concern due to SMs stupidity, I agree. I didn't mean you'd be doing a similar thing.

Nothing wrong with a player being sold to another club if his concern is fecked. JB won't be buying him back as soon as TB expires, so if he rises to 91 then he'll have to fork out a fair chunk of change to buy him back. He has the option of buying him back when I decide to sell or at the end of every SM season.

For a club like me that has little funds it's basically impossible to buy any 90 rated players especially as pretty much every single player is already owned (as you well know).

If Varun or yourself ever decided to go down to a Div5 club you'd understand. :)
 
Guys I need a right back on loan, anyone with a player available?

and he pwned this game
Gabriel Jesus will be the first Race to 90 winner
CR7 is the MVP and top scorer in Div 1
everything he touches turns to gold
will be #1 in youth table next month
will be #1 in Div 1 next season
will win all cup competition next season...

I'm Pep, basically.
 
On a more positive note, some young players have now had the required rises to stake a claim in the first 11 or squad.

Hysaj has now been promoted to 1st choice RB.
Gerhardt has been promoted to the 1st team squad as backup CM.

This has seen Anderson moved up to RW now(was RB earlier) which leaves Kagawa surplus to requirement.

Arsenal FC thank him for his services and welcome Cornet and Ounas to the club in exchange:drool:

Bakkali also leaves for Ipswich on a permanent deal and Tielemans will spend a year there on loan. Good luck to both!

Also, Pereira and Tah have been promoted to first team squads as first choice backups.

Inigo Martinez is also leaving the club in a swap deal for Carles Alena. This transfer represents a crazy risk given the huge gulf between the players but we'll see how it goes. :)

You fecker. Good deal for both though.
 
Good luck to Stoke and Bury tomorrow.

Tonight I'll be fielding an U25 side (De Gea aside) in the friendly.

23 (2): Dier (91), Stones (91)
22 (6): Silva (91), Sterling (91), Goretzka (90), Benassi (89), Gaya (89), Zouma (88)
21 (1): Martial (90)
18 (1): Mbappe (88) :drool:
 
6:0 win v Rochdale. Best scoreline out of all the friendlies today.

De Gea (94)

Stones (89) Dier (91)➕ Zouma (88)↓ Gaya (89)
Benassi (89)⚽↓ Goretzka (90)⚽
Sterling (91) Silva (91)➕➕➕ Martial (90)⚽⚽↓
Mbappe (88)➕​

Subs: Pogba (93)⚽↑, Isco (92), Eriksen (92)⚽➕↑, Rodriguez (91), Matip (90), Roberto (91)↑, Götze (93)

Key:
⚽ = Goal
➕ = Assist
⭐ = MOTM

↑ = Subbed on

My next game will be a loss to Newcastle in the CL final on Tuesday followed by a friendly against @green_smiley on Thursday.
