Gaming The SM RedCafe League

Just make 3 subs in the 75th. Counts as half a match. So many people ignore this.
 
Rough new values since West Ham draft started (damn Forest and City for agreeing a deal just as I was finishing this off - I've not included that in the values):

I'm expecting another 10 mill when all my players have been reviewed.
 
I'll probably get another 250k if Erquiaga is ever reviewed. Joel Pereira should have been reviewed too but doubt he will now with him being recalled and Brahim should have got a tiny rise. I've been robbed :(

I'll be returning home on Monday so i'll sort out the Draft on Tuesday if thats ok with everyone. If not, continue with the normal draft system and we'll do the test next time.
 
Manchester United Superliga players
  • Ivan Erquiaga (20/73 +3): +7 to 80
  • Worse than predicted
  • Predicted
  • Better than predicted

UPMR = United Player Minutes Ranking (out of 39 as I have a crapload on 0 minutes)
CR = Club Ranking in their respective league

Disclaimer: Minutes only take the league into account. A few play in other competitions which might also be taken into account when SM do their ratings.
 
Stuff decided:

Division 1 winners: Darlington
Top 4: Manchester United, Everton
Relegation: Blackburn Rovers, Plymouth Argyle

Division 2 winners: Southend United
Play-off places (at least): Newcastle United, Ipswich Town, Norwich City

Division 3 winners: Leeds United
Automatic promotion: Sheffield United (unless they lose and there's a 7 goal swing)

Cup: Aston Villa
Shield: Sunderland

Stuff still to be decided:

Fourth - either Liverpool (67pts, 21GD) or Manchester City (65pts, 20GD)
Relegation - either Tottenham Hotspur (38pts, -31GD), Hereford (37pts, -25GD) or Reading (37pts, -33GD)

Div 2 second automatic promotion spot - either Newcastle United (72pts, 37GD), Ipswich Town (70pts, 33GD), Norwich City (70pts, 12GD) or Mansfield Town (69pts, 38GD)
Div 2 play-offs - two from Mansfield Town (69pts, 38GD), Middlesbrough (67pts, 19GD), Milton Keynes Dons (66pts, 34GD) and Kidderminster Harriers (64pts, 19GD)

SMFA Cup - either Everton or Manchester United
SMFA Shield - either Manchester City or Saint Etienne

Relevant fixtures:

Division 1
Hereford v Nottingham Forest
Reading v Liverpool
Sunderland v Manchester City
Tottenham Hotspur
v Everton

Division 2
Ipswich Town v Southend United
Mansfield Town v Kidderminster Harriers
Middlesbrough
v Norwich City
Milton Keynes Dons
v Crystal Palace
Newcastle United v Stoke City

SMFA Cup
Manchester United v Everton

SMFA Shield
Manchester City v Saint Etienne

Got to say, it is a miracle that Norwich has got to fourth with just 38 goals scored.
 
3:3 draw against Bournemouth means United finish the season second. Mbappe with a hell of a performance off the bench.

De Gea (95)

Roberto (91) Sarr (87)⚽ Christensen (90) Gaya (90)
Stones (91) Goretzka (91)
Brandt (90)➕ Martial (90) Dele (92)⚽

Sterling (93)

Subs: Alaba (93), Kimmich (92), Boateng (93), Kroos (95), Pogba (93), Eriksen (93), Mbappe (93)⚽➕➕⭐
Did not travel: Ramos (95), Griezmann (95), Mbappe (93), Sterling (93)

Key:
⚽ = Goal
➕ = Assist
⭐ = MOTM
= Subbed off
= Subbed on


Next three games:
CCF: Everton (N) (they're favourites)
 
Congrats to Newcastle on automatic promotion along with Southend. Good luck to Mansfield, Ipswich, Middlesbrough and Norwich in the play-offs. Commiserations to Hereford, Blackburn and Plymouth. Hopefully you all bounce back next season.
 
Ronaldo won the golden boot whilst at Everton with 22 games. Top 10 at Darlington. Cheat code.
 
Recalling all players from loans who aren't at clubs involved in the play-offs. Like usual, next season the clubs who loaned players have first dibs on loaning them again unless I agree some sort of permanent transfer deal which is unlikely.
 
Got to a cup final and finished 3rd in division 2. Don't fancy my chances in the play offs when I look at the other squads, but happy to have done okay with my over achievers.
 
I'm surprised someone hasn't submitted a bug ticket for Ronaldo, he's op.
