Gaming The SM RedCafe League

3-0 win :drool: city lose, Arsenal drop points too. Things are going good.

Pretty close at the top, though there's now a 4 point gap between fourth and fifth.

1. United (36 pts/31 GD)
2. Forest (34 pts/24 GD)
3. City (34 pts/11 GD)
4. Newcastle (34 pts/9 GD)
5. Chelsea (30 pts/24 GD)
6. Bolton (29 pts/9 GD)
7. Arsenal (28 pts/12 GD)

Both you and Forest have done brilliantly. Bolton too, though they've fallen away a bit lately.
 
This season cant get much better. 2 points behind first place, fecking hell :lol:

Incredible season for you. I remember you saying at the start that survival was your target. That went pretty decently :lol:

Very harsh result tonight on me though :(
 
Ocampos....I was tempted to sign him for the third time! But my wingers and forwards are good for now. Very good signing.

Perez is currently on trial at The Gooners too so thought I best snap him up. Have a look. I have kept an eye on him and surprisingly he's gone under the radar.

:lol:

I thought about putting a bid in as he was tough to just pass but I need players in other positions now. Very good signing.
 
I quite enjoy making these little signings.

The Billy Big Bollocks club can pay over the top fees all they like. I will stick to the famous Everton policy. My only irritation is when the big clubs hoard some of the little gems with no intention of using them.

I'm kinda the same now. I've set a personal squad limit (or wages of 1mill) and if I sign one now, I sell one now. It is the only way to stay sustainable and to also give clubs a chance.
 
Do people just ignore offers from their players? Getting more frustrated than our Woody right now!
 
Some do, Moutinho has been on the transfer list for god knows how long. Several bids on an the manager never reacts to them.
 
Last update was harsh on Puyol, dropped him by 1 which is fair enough but it's shaved around £10mill off his value. Might be a good signing for someone.

That was a while back. he's since asked for people to make a good bid for him but I think people arent interested anymore due to his move to France.

Xavi's dropped by 1 too. Pretty surprised.
 
Xavi I expected really, pretty impossible to maintain such a high rating with an ageing player. I'd expect some of the Dortmund lot will be getting increases if the likes of Lahm & Schweiny are.

Why should age be such a big factor when he's actually putting the performances in? Lewandowski and Gundogan will rise, dont think the others will at dortmund. They got very generous raises last time round.

Vidic has dropped by 1 again too. It's like they're tying Vidic and Puyol together as last time they both decreased around the same time.
 
Damo, can I get the codes for draft league and the other one Kagawazza set up. Had to make new account, gold expired.
 
Got another month of gold with my credits, need accepting.
 
Who has the most expensive/cheapest starting XI in terms of last transfer fees in real life?

Prices taken from: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/
and be honest with what you'd class as your normal starting XI. Isco was bought for more than Eriksen, but because I play Eriksen more than Isco, I class Eriksen as part of my starting XI and not Isco.

de Gea (90) - £17.6M (Manchester United)

Rafael (90) - £2.64M (Manchester United)
Vidic (94) - £9.24M (Manchester United)
Ramos (95) - £23.76M (Real Madrid)

Gotze (93) - £32.56M (Bayern Munich)
Bender (90) - £2.2M (Bayer Leverkusen)
Carrick (92) - £23.936M (Manchester United)
Eriksen (90) - £880k (Ajax)
Bale (93) - £12.936M (Tottenham Hotspur)

Ronaldo (98) - £82.72M (Real Madrid)
Messi (99) - Free (Barcelona)

Marchetti (89) - £4.576m

Harnik (89) - £264k
Sow (90) - £8.8m

Total - £56.38m
 
Carrick didn't move to us for nearly 25m? Unless I've misunderstood.

I know. BBC said it was around £13M rising up to £18M depending on various things which I'm sure he has achieved. Not sure what that is about, but just put transfermarkt down as it's easier to get all transfers off one website rather than going on various things and transfermarkt are usually reliable but seem to be a bit out on a few transfer fees (at least with me) for whatever reason.

Bale's fee is out by a bit too.
 
Oops. Didn't see this. Do you still need the codes or are you alright now?

I'm alright now, need reaccepting though. Kagawazza is banned though right?

Thankfully beat Levo, wouldn't be able to go on with a loss there.
 
Drew 2-2 against Fulham.

Shit thing is that Gotze got sent off so will miss the next three games:
  • Aston Villa (H)
  • Darlington (H) - Shield
  • Derby County (A)
My depth isn't great and I was planning on rotating, but that suspension makes things a lot tougher to manage now. I expect I'll lose at least one of those games and wouldn't be surprised if I lost all three.
