Gaming The SM RedCafe League

I "set a new club record" going 5 games unbeaten :cool:
 
The mighty West Brom are making a serious charge for the European Places.

Up the Baggies!
 
Bit split as whether to go full strength for the cup and rotate for the league or the other way round.

Fitness isn't too bad so I could play full strength tomorrow easily but then would have to swap a fair few for the thursday.
 
I'm tempted, but I'll leave it for now. I'm going to save up some funds and then go on a massive transfer spree in the summer.

I'm kinda the same, only thing I'm concerned about is Pedro is out injured for another 3 weeks, atleast I'll have Negredo back this time next week. I'm a bit light upfront so would love to bring in a striker or forward/winger too, but would prefer to wait a little longer.
 
How long are these cup and shield matches going to last? Feels boring waiting for the matchdays to come now. Nothing is really happening with my club
 
MJJ(Sunderland) has an 84 rated DM/CM, Tomas Pina, and an 80 rated CB, Mertens, up for loan.
 
While we are tlaking about loans, i have a 83 rated keeper listed for loan.

And Ned, i hope Campana plays in the league and cup matches, or else he's doing feck all with you and better he'd be loaned out to some other club
 
Why would he loan him to a league rival? Plus, you're fecking Chelsea what the hell did you do with all your money that you need to loan in players?!

I started off with barely any money compared to City, Liverpool, Arsenal and United, for some reason. That went reasonably quickly, and I traded out a lot of players for better ones in swap deals. My squad was aging, and my players were going to decline in the upcoming BPL update, so I got rid of them (Torres + Luiz for Iniesta, for example).

Chelsea also had one of the smallest started squads in the game, and further players/resources are stuck in season-long loans that I can't recall them from. I had surprisingly little to work with.

He'd be the 6th best midfielder at the club, but I'm playing a 4-3-3 now so he'll get his fair share of matches in a rotation system.

Because this is a new formation I don't know how badly fitness is going to drop now, so if it turns out I don't need him then of course I'll send him back. You asked for him first though, so you're entitled to him if you want.

Ah right, fair enough.

Torres is still 92 though and Luiz is 90, is it really worth trading two very good players for an excellent one if your squad is tiny? I wouldn't have done it. Wonder why you started off with feck all money compared to the other big teams?
 
when did omar arrived up here?
Just a few days back.

Ah alright. If he's not getting much games, ill try finding another club, and if someone wants him, ill take him back unless you really need him.

Good sob story.

You can still mock me, I made some terrible decisions early on in the game, namely what you said - I didn't know how important fitness was in this. I certainly had no idea you would have to rotate players in and out of a squad so often. On here Lampard can barely play 2 games in a row, but in reality he definitely can. I thought it would mirror that more closely, which is why I looked to improve my squad. Also, Torres and Luiz both went down in the ratings update, so I would've lost value on them both. Whereas Iniesta will not be decreasing for a very long time.

I think I started with 16m, although I may be wrong. It certainly wasn't a very large amount though - look at the amount of transfer activity other teams have had... I've not even made that many.

How long are they going to last? Probably until the finals, mate. You've not come across the concept of a cup yet then, no?
