Gaming The SM RedCafe League

Tonight's Shield fixtures:

Fulham - Manchester United
Nottingham Forest - Leicester City

I've got both a cup tied crisis (Vidal, Matip, Sterling) and an injury crisis (Isco) so my options to play tonight are limited and lacking in fitness. Fulham will win comfortably.
 
James McCarthy's time at United in numbers:
Seasons: 6
League appearances: 40
Goals: 1
Assists: 2

Interesting fact: the last goal scored by McCarthy in all competitions was in the Shield semi final against his former team Fulham.

McCarthy's trophy cabinet:
Division 1 titles: 2
SMFA Shields: 1
SMFA Super Cups: 1
League Cups: 1
League Shields: 1
Charity Shields: 2
Total: 8 trophies - more than Nottingham Forest have won in their history.

The two most successful sides go head to head in the final, with Nottingham Forest firm favourites having never won the competition before.

For United, the game will be played between an away league game to guaranteed Season 9 league champions Blackburn Rovers, and a home league game against city rivals Manchester City.
 
Another player to add to the list of south Americans coming to europe in January , Fanco Cervi joining Benfica

So the list is
Franco Cervi - Rasario to Benfica
Mattias Kranevitter- River Plate to A Madrid
Santos Gerson- Fluminesie to Roma, will then go on loan to another Serie A club due to player cap

I also didnt notice that Roma decided to take Ponce early

Ezekiel? And congrats on your players coming to Europe.
 
Important match tonight against Sunderland in the relegation zone. @MJJ can you field reserves, pls? Also, Yamil Asad +4.
 
Struggling to get Kevin Princes Boatengs visa through in time for kick off tonight. Tense times.

Also could do without MK Dons making bids on players i have started a bid on, winning them, and then cancelling the bid after i retracted mine assuming he had won the deal. Wanted to bid on another player so i could get him in asap. Now left without a back up striker for tonights game!

Its all part of the mindgames. Don't retract your bids because the player may be more suited and choose your team. Many have chosen to come to the mighty Wolves over the moneybags offered elsewhere!

Would probably give me an edge with this ME. (Accidentally) Played a 74 rated in def against QPR and won 5-2. Edit: He was actually a 70 at the time..

So if you play two 70s rated defenders you will win 10-2. And if you play three then its 15-2. See where I am going with this?
 
Arsenal - Wolverhampton Wanderers
Chelsea - Stoke City
Darlington 1883 - Southampton
Everton - Sunderland
Fulham - West Ham United
Manchester United - Tottenham Hotspur*
Milton Keynes Dons - Liverpool
Newcastle United - Aston Villa
Nottingham Forest - Manchester City
Queens Park Rangers - Blackburn Rovers

*Özil, Griezmann, Pogba, Isco, Eriksen and more are expected to miss the game.
 
Arsenal - Wolverhampton Wanderers
Chelsea* - Stoke City
Darlington 1883 - Southampton
Everton - Sunderland
Fulham - West Ham United
Manchester United - Tottenham Hotspur
Milton Keynes Dons - Liverpool
Newcastle United - Aston Villa
Nottingham Forest - Manchester City
Queens Park Rangers - Blackburn Rovers

*To back the team at the bottom of the table constantly would be madness

pfft you didn't play your strongest side. Looking at your players, only Jovetic and Marquinhos from your first XI will be unavailable and your only problem area is one of the CB spots

That CB spot is a real issue though... look at my alternatives! Having to start with Fabinho at 89% fitness. City have a much better squad than me and should easily beat me given my awful league form of late.
 
Is their an easy way to keep tabs on my youth players to find out how / if they are playing eg some form of watch list or something on a site like whoscored?

I noticed a few on here have been posting lists of player performances and thought that their has to be a easy way.
 
Has anybody had a deal go through on a match day, or in my case close to an hour before kick off? Looks like the deal is going through too late!

As far as I am aware you have no chance of it coming in before the game.

Edit: Just noticed he came in 8 minutes ago if your referring to Kpb looks like ill have to eat my words.

Don't think so. You just have to keep tabs on them individually I reckon.
 
"Ipswich have signed player 82400". I loaded a data pack, are they going to hunt me down and demand monies? :D

Arsenal - Wolverhampton Wanderers
Chelsea - Stoke City
Darlington 1883 - Southampton
Everton - Sunderland
Fulham - West Ham United
Manchester United - Tottenham Hotspur
Milton Keynes Dons - Liverpool
Newcastle United - Aston Villa

Aw shucks, first division teams seem to be full.

Does anyone mind sharing how the 2nd division table looks like

Table means nothing. Pick a team you can build with, or money or loads of players to sell and high squad value!
