Gaming The SM RedCafe League

Please? Thanks

I was lying in bed yesterday and couldn't sleep so I decided to check the progress of Hysaj. One thing led to another and I ended up scouting the Serie A for the best risers.

Each and every top riser is taken by you and RS :lol:. I mean it, not a single one left who hadn't proven himself to be a quick riser. You guys did leave for Southampton though :lol:

I only have 4 Serie A players

Talking about the cream of the risers mate, barely did 15mins of scouting so I'm sure to have missed some. Even if RS has the same number as you, add the one that Southampton has and it takes the total to 9.
 
There were 4 teenagers in Serie A to go for this season:
  1. Olivier Ntcham - 406mins / 450mins = 90.2% of the season
  2. Assane Diousse - 286mins / 360mins = 79.4% of the season
  3. Pedro Pereira - 249mins / 450mins = 55.3% of the season
  4. Amadou Diawara - 220mins / 450mins = 48.9% of the season
I managed to bag two of em! Ipswich got Diawara and Leeds got Ntcham.
I have none of them. Blame RS
 
@RedSky I'm not sure how much improvement is this new income for small clubs. Not sure how many Div2 clubs can make a profit if any after a home and away match. On top, now since risers have fixed value increases its quite harder for small clubs to make money. It is still early days, but I really do wonder about sustainability if wages reach 1mill in lower division.
 
And @The Stain has the next Verratti. Granted he is in Serie B now, but he will move to better club in summer
Ye, had to be creative with scouting. Reckon i picked up the best 5 risers from Serie B. 4 are just on loan from Serie A; Roma x 2, Inter & Atalanta. The guy from Atalanta is chased by the top clubs in Serie A.

Gave that last player to someone already, GS. You don't need help ffs :lol:

Any existing managers interested in the Newcastle or West Ham jobs, either PM me your SM "CV" or if you're banned a la LB, Barney + others then send it to me via PM on SM
 
Yeah, taking the lead in the 81st min only to concede in the 87th. Gutting. What do you feed your strikers? 4 on target, 4 goals :eek:

:lol: I felt the same pain after the first three goals. The equalizing goal was scored in the next attack four times!!

And you are lucky ibra was missing ;)

Oh, I didn't see the commentary. That's insane.

You can't imagine how pleased I was when I saw ibra was suspended. :lol: He's insane. How has he been doing this season for you?
 
I recommended him to Akash :lol:

Was aware of Sanabria but was reluctant to sign for the same reason RS sold him I suspect (I imagine it was the same for everyone because there were around 8/ 9 teams who had shortlisted but never made a bid) him given he wasn't even getting games in pre-season. Looks like it's working out though.

Jean rose the other day btw. Cheers for that.:angel:

I only have 2!! But I did pick 2 of the best to be fair, although neither are playing now.
 
I have this horrible feeling that they've ignored giving Ben Mendy a rise... again. He's been stuck on 87 for like 2 years now despite being a first teamer for Marseille. Must... not... rage...

If umtiti doesn't rise....

I'm hoping they'll rise them tomorrow.

I'm seriously going to go on another rage campaign if Mendy doesn't rise. Manquillo got + 1 to 86, that's only 1 behind Mendy now. Can't even say he's reached the club rating capacity as Marseille's max rating is 91. Mendy last rose on the 7th December 2013 stats below are taken from the 7th onwards:

Benjamin Mendy: 87 Rated
Games: 76
Minutes: 4817
Min %: 70.4%
Goals: 1
Assists: 9

Jaiver Manquillo: 86 Rated
Games: 78
Minutes: 1944
Min %: 27.7%
Goals: 0
Assists: 0
 
Am I being biased or does Mendy surely deserve to be higher than fecking 87 rated?

Also, added a Threadmark which shows all risers from Ligue 1 so far.
