Gaming The SM RedCafe League

:cool: I was up at 6am this morning so I had room to change bid if need be.

Delighted with it, decided to go for him rather than a different target. My team is fairly solid for the future now. RB was a concern for me. LB is sorted too. Grand everywhere else.

When it's laid out like that, I've got a shortage in quality strikers and wingers but I'm not too worried - same with right back but as I only play 3 at the back anyway it isn't much of a concern. I'll probably go through my team and get rid of up to 10 players though. While compiling this post I noticed a few that were pretty pointless to keep.
 
"Shortage"... I wish I had a shortage like yours. That squad is fantastic, you've done a fantastic job since taking over.

Thanks :)

Do you know who would look great there? Javier Hernandez

:lol:
You know what you need Damo? Cavani.

Gotze > Cavani :p

Shame he'll probably lose the ability to play striker at some point.

Stats of Gotze and Cavani since Cavani went to Forest (I tried playing him as striker that same day):

Gotze ------------ Cavani
3 :Played: 3​
4 :Goals: 2​
1 :Assists: 1​
 
I can't be arsed evaluating my squad. As Damiens shits all over it.

I can tell you fellas that I've made 30m in profit from selling players in the last month. That's not too shabby!
 
Ya well.....Mike Ashley is now the world record holder for most lies devoured in 30 minutes. The boy done good.
 
Your squad is crazy Ando, you've had far too many rises lately. Not impressed.

Talking of rises, why the feck isn't La Liga being reviewed yet! I have loads of nice risers in that league!
 
Ben Arfa's for sale, he has concerns and he isn't get much/any gametime so it's not going to get better.
 
Surprised no one had signed Dele Alli. Looks like he could sign for us in real life and is a decent talent. Thought someone else would have snapped him up by now.
 
Beat Bristol City 4-3. Was a weird game with my team going 4-0 up in the first 35 minutes, then conceding three in the second half but with the squad problems I have, I'll take the win. Annoyingly, Messi is now suspended for the next game, but both Balotelli and Ramos are back from theirs.
 
Blah, odd game with Newcastle, tactics seemed to have worked, just couldn't put away the chances. He used possession well.
