Gaming The SM RedCafe League

Yeah, I just have one combined squad which is usually fine except for Gomes rising up by 2 not long ago just before the concerns were reviewed. If he had gone up by 1 he probably wouldn't have been affected.
 
It is why Valdes shall be sold. Sommer starting from now. Risky but it has to be done
It makes complete sense. When I took over United, De Gea had a concern from being neglected by Zarlak in favourite of Buffon. I made the hard decision to recall De Gea (and piss off RS in the process), sold Buffon for Götze and haven't looked back since. Better to do that than sell a talent, the older keeper retires/keeps going down and you've then got nobody to replace them with except for someone inferior to the second choice keeper you had before.

I forgot about that disgusting travesty. That's twice you've burned me, what with that and Guerrerorororo. /shakes head

As for Sommer, I won the league with Leno when he was 89 rated, granted he was 22 at the time and i'm sure young players in this current match engine get favoured over old. But it's possible.
 
Well, risky in a potential honours fighting season I mean. A lot around me have great goalkeepers, Stoke closest to me with a similar 90 rated keeper. Hope Oblak has a worldie this coming season!

In hindsight I should have let you have him for the remaining four games but at the time I was worried he was going to leave as his concern was level 3 I think.

Shouldn't matter. I won plenty of trophies with a 91 rated keeper.
 
Actually, no point in waiting. Valdes gone this time tomorrow. If anyone wants to gamble on him.

Hate to say it Ando... but it might be too late...

United will be reviewed tomorrow and Valdes will get his hit and I think any club that have bid on him will cancel their bid (even if its accepted).
 
I think Ando'll be fine. They've still got half of Spurs to review. With my luck they either won't increase de Gea or leave it until Thursday, so Valdes will probably be reviewed on Thursday too.

I'm not too pushed on a fee, I'm resigned to it and Falcao. I doubt anyone will bid so I'll just accept it now. If it fails then oh well
 
I've accepted bids after rating drops in another GW and it went through fine. Only when it increases it fails as value goes up.

You got gotze for buffon? Nice.

Buffon, Robinho and a bit of cash. Still a bargain as all those players were at their peaks while Gotze had room to grow.

I got Bale for Nani and De Rossi. Since then Nani went from 92 to 90 and De Rossi just went down to 93.

Unsurprisingly Big-Red doesn't seem to do deals with me anymore... that Shaw one aside but I've still got no regrets about that

De Gea went up by 1 as expected. He'll still end up being stupidly inferior to Courtois in rating by the end of the review as he'll rise to 94.

Looks like Kane was forgotten about but he'll probably be done tomorrow. He did go up in January and March though so not sure if he'll go up by 2 or not as SW have been stingy with the English review (unless the team is Southampton) but we'll see.

You haven't tried to enter into any deals since then besides mcCarthy and Nasri ones ya eejit.
 
pfft I tried to sign Benzema, Sanchez and Alaba with players not being McCarthy and Nasri and you declined.
I'm not selling them though. You're so strange, I'm fairly open to most deals unless its one of @Varun's

Huh? In all the deals I have offered you, I have offered you to pick a player alongside the one I offer by having a look at my squad. Even the last proposal, I asked you to pick who you'd want along with the guy I offered.

I always do that in my offers as most managers have a particular position that they prefer to strengthen.

I'm joking :p I just wanted to pick on someone.
 
Wasn't sure he could handle any more stick tbh. He was the first name that popped into my head.

That's fair. Poor guy has guys not even playing SM taking a dig about his rep in other threads on the Caf.

Both good deals, the bale one is probably fair but the gotze one is a steal. Sold robinho at just the right time as well.

He deserves a 89 atleast but think they are wary as its his first big season sadly.

At the time I was building up the Spurs squad, so they were both pretty fair deals overall. I've gotten my fair share of good deals too. Asamoah and Lamela for Benzema, captured Sanchez, Kroos and Moura for Ronaldo (who I got for Shaw).

Your original shaw ronaldo deal was pretty good as well. Remember being amazed that damien sold ronaldo so cheap.
