Gaming The SM RedCafe League

Got little ole Hereford to 7th, satisfied with that, was always going to be a huge challenge to get up to United/Everton levels of success.

I finally got some really good young players to take over from my older lads. Ah well.

Thank you to each and every one of you for being part of the league. Without you all, this wouldn't have lasted as long as it has done so far.

And congrats to @IRN-BRUno for blowing the goals scored and conceded records out of the water. Didn't think they'd be beaten any time soon.
Thanks! Something to aim for again next season in Division 4.

Excellent work to keep all this updated.
 
Thanks for the summary.
Was hoping to break into top3 overall soon enough. Just there! Maybe another 2-3 seasons would have been enough for several stats.
What has been done with Forest is incredible, especially to be above Arsenal and Villa which had stronger teams when starting out. The first few seasons of Forest in Division 1 should have been devoted to trying to stay up, but @RedSky defied expectations and finished in the European places in the first two seasons, won the title in the third and the team never got relegated with you carrying on the success.

Here's the table sorted by points per game:

beUzVDH.png

Forest, Cardiff, Darlington and Southend all stand out.
 
The following clubs have stadium capacity increased

Div 1
Leyton Orient: 43701 -> 43955
Hereford: 43643 -> 43889

Div 2
Rochdale: 11222 -> 15580

No others in the other divisions. If West Ham and Arsenal do stay up then it should theoretically help the smaller stadiums in Division 1 increase.

Damien, completely missed this, if you want I can sell him when he's avaliable and start a fresh bid.
@BenitoSTARR your thoughts on that? And Mani not to play Hermoso in the meantime. Reluctant to put a full season transfer ban in so soon after last one expired, when the post I made in this thread still had the "No bids should exceed 2x face value" statement at the time.

I've edited the "About this Game World" above the chat to contain the new rules and will edit the transfer rule in the OP of the thread to more accurately reflect the current situation with transfers.

I don’t think we should be TB for it. It’s annoying but not a ridiculous thing.

I’d say if you flip a coin and then at the end of the Hermoso TB he either stays at Darlington or is sold to Cardiff seeing as we were the only two clubs who bid at the time.

If he’s sold external and then re bought it wastes more time and the value of the player.

So just say he can’t play until the player TB is up. Then he either moves on the coin flip or stays and can play. (Essentially I just want the random chance to have acquired him and I trust you to do that fairly)

Okay, I'm happy with that. Is this a weird time to say I've never flipped a coin before? Thanks for being understanding.
 
Genuinely true in almost 34 years on this planet. Will flip in the morning - Heads Cardiff (first to bid), Tails Darlington

Another fun fact - I can't ride a bike.
Never for a coin toss for football or as a decider who goes first in a game of anything?

Did they not install bike.exe ?
 
It might shock you to hear I wasn't exactly sporty as a kid.

Dyspraxic child. Tried to learn as a kid but never got the hang of it and gave up.
I’ve not cycled in years to be fair so you’re not missing out on much.

Once did a long ride with my dad to play a game of tennis and then rode back. I was walking like John Wayne for 3 days.
