Gaming The SM RedCafe League

Baba dropped. I curse thee Jose, CURSE THEE!
By blaming the players you're avoiding the issue. Mourinho. I get that Chelsea fans love him to pieces, think he's the messiah and can do no wrong. Fact is that he's the one that's responsible for your mess. What do you think your players do in training? Instead of blaming the players perhaps look at the tactics first and understand that Mourinho is simply getting it all wrong. Replacing half your squad won't make a blind bit of difference when the problem is the management. But feel free to keep burying your head in the sand because from everyone else's point of view this is hilarious.

Also given that this is a Baba thread. His tackling won stats are pretty similar to last season. It's just his tackling lost stats which are far worse for Chelsea. (5.04 for Chelsea, 2.63 at Augsburg). Probably due to it being a more physical league than Bundesliga, Baba is obviously therefore going to take a bit of time getting used to the higher intensity. Also a shame that Mourinho doesn't utilise his crossing ability. Lesson I learnt way back with Evra is to never judge a player on the first few months of their form. If Baba is struggling to get used to the Premier League then he shouldn't be being selected. The fact that he is tells you its own story.



Mourinho took your advice :D
 
@Damien any chance to get SM to set out GW economy to Rich (since they are able to change ours from Normal to Poor and back to Normal again)?

If not, we may need to confirm if we plan to do so next season, to allow clubs to plan ahead. Having said that, I don't know how much it will help. For example, if it is only the prize money that will increase, we need to wait until season end before we know how much we get

Yeah spotted it a few days back, cracking goal, i was thinking of getting rid of him before the season started but google kept on telling me he will be a star.
 
@CrackersJr @Levo @Big Andy with regards to the Newcastle job I've contacted 13 other current long serving managers (over 350 games managed) for their vote. Most have already replied so should have the final result tonight before the match.

@Mr Anderson if you could resign again that'd be great. Should definitely have a new manager for tonight.
 
Well deserved +2 for Kishna. Hopefully hysaj gets his deserved +2 or even a +3 if I'm lucky. Zappacosta could miss out I think because of the cnuting manager's 3-5-2 tactics.
 
That said, it'd be typical of Soccerwiki to miss out on the defenders. Hysaj will probably be ignored or get a plus 1 only.
 
Keep forgetting Kishna is in Italy now.

What is Hysaj's rating? If low enough he should definitely get a +2.
Yeah, I thought he'd fecked it up by moving there at such a young age but he's surprised me. Hysaj is now at Napoli if you missed his transfer. Owns the spot now. :drool:
 
I thought Sampdoria would be reviewed today and they were. Somehow my bid for Roberto Soriano went through right before it happened. The "offer accepted" was just below the "review" news. 4 mill profit there :cool:
 
Just seen that. Lucky you
The Italian review came around too early. Had to make a decision on who to release. Didn't really want to sell Ruiz but he hasn't played at all this season so it's prob for the best.
 
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.

Olivier Ntcham got a +2 to 80
Assane Diousse got a +4 to 82
Pedro Pereira got a +5 to 80
Amadou Diawara got a +5 to 83
 
Not sure the Sampdoria boys should have got their rating increases given they're 15th atm tbh. Eder I guess is fair enough given he's scored 10 so far, but Soriano seems excessive.
I have found that transfer rumoring plays a part when they decide. Soriano likely to move in January. Juve or Napoli in the driving seat at the moment. Milan in contention.

Atalanta were reviewed but Kessie didn't get his +4/6. He's on loan in Serie B though so they must have just missed him for now.

But they're exactly that... rumours. If he gets a move then give him a rating increase but don't base it on bloody rumours. If every player that got linked to us were given rating increases then the database would self implode.

Probably just halfway through Empoli and a bit of Atalanta and Milan

Yep. Strange that Fernando didn't get a rise when Soriano got it.

Hope so.

Will do it now
 
I don't know. What may (or may not) have happened in the summer all to seems shrouded in mystery.
Don't think i responded to this..

Certainly a weird one. I've been looking for answers but i can't find any. We'll have to wait for January to find out i guess.
