Gaming The SM RedCafe League

Okay, checked my team.

Need a keeper, a winger, and a central midfielder. All 83+, no problems if they are on loan.

I don't think you need a keeper unless you're planning on getting rid of Buffon. Keepers don't get injured or suspended and they don't lose much in fitness so you can manage playing just the one keeper in all matches with no problems.
 
I'd get rid of at least one of your sellable assets. Bring in some substantial cash and then you can reinvest in bringing some players in. You will struggle big time with that small squad.
 
Roughly, how many games are played in one season?

38 league games plus a minimum 2 cup games (cup and shield) unless you are in Europe in which case you would play more. If you advance in the cup and shield then of course you'd play more games. I played about 41 last season but I didn't do well in the cup competitions.
 
:lol: Get fecked you little shits, eyeing up those bids I should comfortably get Gylfi
 
feck ya'll :lol: I started out with the smallest budget and worst crop of players of every single team in the league and still avoided relegation!

I see. Hmm.

Add an 80+ left back on loan on that previous list.
 
Apologies for all the questions, but do players retire? Is there a specific age?

All based on real life, if a player retires tomorrow you will need to replace them in game.

You might have gone down if I'd had a bit longer in charge of Wigan...
 
Not seen my start yet, can someone be so kind as to post up my first 10 or so fixtures...

In the gap between Sunday and Thursday your players that aren't injured should be fully healed, but in the gap between Thursday and Sunday's games you'll find there are some players who aren't at 100% fitness.

When the cup games are on they're on the Tuesday and they do sap some fitness so it is recommended that, when possible, the squad is rotated for those games and a second string is put out if you can play one.

Fair enough mine was around £8.5m.

Thats from memory anyway. Think originally it was Zaha and 1 million. Then when all the other bids came in decided to go higher just to be sure. Think the chairman valued Zaha about 9 million.

Kyle Da Silva was valued at £1.5m, my chairman thinks he is worth £340k :lol:
 
I have Marcelo Diaz a 85 CM and Ryan Mendes da Graca a 84 Wing/Fwd, if you want them on loan.

I'll take that central midfielder.

Upon further inspection, it seems I'm good on wingers. I could use another central midfielder though.
 
We'll see. The player you've added is an 80-rated wing/forward, and Juve has a dozen wings and forwards above that rating. Chairman value might not be as high as you think.

the highest offer gets accepted if I'm not mistaken, my offer worked out over 6mill anyways as dictated by their chairman. 6.2mill or something like that.
 
Against Luton Town. You don't see me bragging about beating Blackpool four-nil, and they're only ONE division below me!

You're Liverpool Excal, you should be trouncing us poor Div2 Teams. Besides this was my second string team. Only my goalkeeper from my 1st team.
 
You played four 80 rated players and the rest 86-88. Luton Town don't have a player above 73 in the squad.

Its my cup team Excal. I'm using these friendlies to try them out ready for the Cups. Y'know, use the friendlies wisely. But thanks for making my point, I do indeed have a strong squad :)
 
And shockingly, your cup side was in fact able to handle a squad rated 14 points less than theirs. :lol:

Sent you a friendly challenge for next week. If you agree, we'll play no outfield players from the 1st teams.
 
Drew 3-3 with Southampton, think it's decent.
