Alot of teams will struggle next season. Once the cups start up again the fitness of players will be shagged as teams won't have enough players to field in cups and the league.
I think we'll be seeing more human v human transfers as well next window. Some star players in Div 2 will be bought up by teams in Div 1 part exchanging 2 for 1.
Swansea for example are a bit shagged if they get relegated. Very high wages and zero squad depth, Burrow would need to sell his top players and buy in 2 player replacements.
True. Think positive.
It's not. My budget was £20.6M at the start.
Well thanks!
Actually, I didn't realise Cardiff were just a point behind you. A draw would be better.
Then again, I don't play Cardiff again this season but I play you and Middlesbrough... hmm. Either a draw or Cardiff win will do.
Another massive game tonight... I'm due a result! Just don't it'll be this evening...
I have a shield game in mind so I'll be playing a weakened XI
Mind games.
Think positive. You can get a draw.
I play the team that are bottom of the table, but also one of the four sides who have beaten me this season (under a different manager). No Yarmolenko, no Gaitan and am starting to plan for the game vs Forest in a weeks time. Will need a win for sure today.
Lost the last game, No win in 5... positive thinking is hard to come by in Smoggyland.
Mind games? Hardly, it has no effect on the outcome. I've got plenty of cash from the shield so far and will be hoping to sneak a win against City so that's my priority. Still playing a strong team tonight.
You've scored at least 1 goal in every game for the past 16 league games including 6 goals in your last three games. Get another 2 goals tonight and as long as your defence is solid you should get a good result.
Impressively you've only failed to score a goal in 2 games out of the 26.
playing the scouse toinght. tough game for me. have to think about a few things.
Probably not the right time to drop Gomis and start Mario Mandzukic then!
Expecting yet another loss tonight, my losing-streak have made sure that I'm more involved in the Elite-league then this at the moment, mostly because it's more fun playing as my local side rather then a Welsh side on a league 2 budget.
Nobody interested in the QPR job?
Hazard and Neymar are there and plenty other good players.

With un-managed teams, are we just banned from taking players for the premier league teams? Or is it right across the divisions?
I say a total ban on purchasing from previously managed but currently unmanaged teams in any English division; if not then any new manager is just gonna be taking over a team full of everyone's castoffs.
Technically we are not banned. After 7 days anyone can take players from unmanaged teams (cash only).
It's more a gentleman's agreement, but I can't enforce it.
Well with the english teams we can only bid cash so we can't cast off the players on them.
I only ask as I brought a player from an unmanaged team quite a while ago but it wasn't as premier league team it was division 1.

He's back on the loan list as Rotherham manager has taken over at QPR.
This is bollocks, I have been waiting to get a player from an unmanaged team and was under the illusion that it was against the rules.
I personally don't think anyone should be allowed to purchase from an un-managed English team.
I had no idea it was against the rules. Should have been made more clearer.
Do you not find it a bit cheap?

Hull against Coventry is another one. Both sides 3 and 2 points away from the playoffs, both will want a win. A draw is no good.
