Gaming The SM RedCafe League

Any decent teams available?

Not really. Bristol City's the only team available in the top division but they've only really got Blaszczykowski in terms of quality players. They do have a £55.6M transfer kitty, but finding players is difficult due to most of them being snapped up already (league is on season 6 now). The ID for that league is 101474

However, in the Soccer Manager League mkII (218462), the last game of the first season will be played tomorrow and there's still quite a few good players free to buy.

Notable free teams:

Everton (£5M transfer kitty)
  • Giuseppe Rossi (27/91)
  • James Rodriguez (22/91)
  • Carlos Vela (25/91)
  • Axel Witsel (25/91)
  • Leighton Baines (29/91)
  • Ross Barkley (20/88)
Aston Villa (£315k transfer kitty)
  • Claudio Marchisio (28/92)
  • Jakub Blaszczykowski (28/91)
  • Alex Song (26/91)
  • Samir Handanovic (29/91)
  • Kevin Grosskreutz (25/90)
  • Christian Benteke (23/89)
  • Shay Given (38/84)
Are some of the notable players available at each.

There are five other free teams in the top division with £50M+ transfer kitties, but those teams have been untouched so will be as they were this season in the Premier League.

Hull, Palace and Stoke are all relegated though FYI
 
Looking at the table, I could finish as high as 2nd if I win or drop as low as 5th if I don't win.

Please don't take over at Everton until after the final game!!!
 
feck off. Laporte only got a + 1. That's a fripping joke. Got into team of the year in La Liga, his team finished 4th, almost 3,000 minutes!. If that doesn't deserve a + 2 rating then feck knows what does! That's the same rating as Zouma and Laporte plays in a better league, a better team and is a much better player ability wise.

SM really can be incredibly dense sometimes. Same scenario with Shaw who should be on 89.

While Mateo 'Mistake' Musacchio gets to 89 playing for Villarreal. Bonkers.

The amusing thing is his value has decreased despite going up to 88.

Oh well, I've had a very good rating window, just a frustrating end! :)

It's a bit silly that. I'm not complaining considering I have him in my Arsenal squad. But it's a bit daft that so many fullbacks in the game can play in midfield. :lol:

It is indeed. If they play 2 games there, they give them that position. Mental but handy!
 
They need to change their position system. As it is Fabregas is as good a striker as RVP and Suarez which is just bollocks.
 
They need to make the ratings based on position, so say Fabregas is a 95? at CM/AM but drops to a 90/91 or something when placed in the striker spot.
 
Bale gets a position change and that's it. Not really bothered but the position change was pointless (for me at least), all it added was the ability for him to play RF and LF

Were you hoping for a rating increase? Hasn't done anywhere near enough to deserve one imo.

:lol: That game against Hull typifies my season for Arsenal. Go ahead, 2-0 up. Bottle it and draw. Wouldn't have mattered anyway.

Trophy and Europa, not a shocking season. But not wonderful.
 
Came back from 2-0 down to beat Ando's Newcastle 3-2.

Yet another one of my defenders picks up an injury though: Ramos. Thankfully he's only out for 2 days but will miss the game against Chelsea.
 
My good run came to an end against Chelsea at the Bridge. Expected given the vast difference in quality.
 
Costa, Di Maria and Modric all with + 1 raises. Can't say they don't deserve them!

El Haddadi gets a + 2 for me. He's the last one of my players to be rated. So 35 of my players got rating increase out of a possible 52.

:lol:

You'll have to bench one of Falcao or Costa now. Whoops. You're pretty fortunate that Suarez hasn't had his AM position removed as well!

That or change tactics. Ill have to see.

Suarez will keep his AM role as long as he keeps dropping. He will prob play behind Lambert at times next season anyways to keep it added.

I may also be open to a p/x for Falcao or Costa. Winger of similar caliber of course.
