Gaming The SM RedCafe League

Urbs, get a hold of your team will ya? Smokebombs going off at training!
Can a Div3 team who had a home game tell me what their revenue was for that game?
Lucas ANDERSEN and Ola JOHN. Mid 80s risers but they are the max I could have bought by exchanging my current 76 rated players.
Plus Hull has bought Magomed OZDOEV but that's OK, he was just on shortlist not a bid.
Worst bit is, I only found the forum URL you had posted today. I was trawling through hundreds of cheap players on SM forums to bid for risers.
Nah it is ok, it is just a game. Trionz - same with you Trionz earlier, nothing personal. My initial transfer attempts cost me big time. My fault not anyone else's.
Only 3 teams available in Division 3.
Fair enough, just wanted you to know I didn't bid because you did to steal him or anything.
When the top 5 league ratings are looked at, what happens to loan players if they're on loan at clubs a division below?
So say Carles Planas (Barcelona/Barcelona B), he most likely wouldn't be looked at right?
But what about Fabian Delph? Aston Villa player but on loan at Leeds in reality. Would his rating be looked at as part of the update?
I've got 11, potentially 12 or 13 first team players who could be affected by the update to the top 5 leagues. Got no idea how many of them are in for an increase though but I know Inzaghi will be going down along with Pinto probably.

Leeds travelling squad for Arsenal friendly:
Goalkeepers: Neto, Pinto, Singh
Defenders: Cahill, Fernandez, Jantschke, Nagatomo, Piszczek, Planas, Torsiglieri
Midfielders: Candreva, Delph, Gaitan, Henrique, Honda, Jairo, Kacar
Forwards: Inzaghi, Muriel, Petersen, Welliton, Wilson
Cahill is set for his fifth consecutive start for Leeds United after scoring against Blackpool in the league while there are doubts over Fernandez and Candreva. Singh could be a surprise inclusion to the starting lineup and the club have already travelled to London, making use of Chelsea's training ground.

You lot are such bloody nerds at times with travelling squads and newspaper articles and the like 
Van der Part?
Rumours have spread around the Game World that Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rafael van der Vaart has told his manager that he wants a move to Leeds United on a temporary basis (on loan) rather than move to any other club permanently.
"The gaffer has told me his intention that he wants to get rid of me and I'm not happy." said van der Vaart, "I look at Leeds United and admire the work they're doing. They've got rid of the riff raff and are slowly starting to build a project, showing their intention to earn promotion to the Premier League.
"It would be an honour to move there on loan, and I know that they do have the space to accommodate me and are looking for a midfielder in particular. It is unlikely the gaffer will let me go there, but I can dream can't I?"

I'll play the kids.
I don't have many kids to play (well, they're mainly in their early 20s but mostly 84 rating+). I'll be looking to see how the likes of Petersen and Jantschke do and probably start Delph too. It'll be a lot different to the side that played against Blackpool but one that I think can get a result.

Sandro likes Leeds too
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Ranieri Sandro has told the press how he idolised Leeds as a little boy and is also looking for a loan move there which has nothing to do with the fact van der Vaart can't be loaned out.
In a short statement, Sandro simply said this:
"I like Leeds and want to go on loan there."

I'll only have a couple of players above 80, so I guess I'll be slaughtered...
If there is to be any movement in the ratings of my players, the increase would most likely come in defence. Nagatomo, Piszczek and Jantschke have had good seasons apparently and while the first two could go up, Jantschke is a near certainty to increase by at least 1, possibly 2 at the most.
As long as we're concocting nonsense stories:
Messi Dreams of Preston
"Really, the move to Manchester was just to get as close to Lancashire as I can."

That's why I wanted jantschke Damien, he's had a very good season so far looking at the stats. Never mind, can't have em all.
Bringing in Materazzi has destroyed the average age of my squad! Still trying to get rid of a few aul fella's.
Like Rick Santorum i'm seeing myself associated with the bottom much more than I would want
Why? Looks like you got a pretty neat team, albeit an entire transformation of West Brom.
Nilmar, Abidal and maybe others might go down, I didn't understand the game when we set out.
AFC Bournemouth have a cheek.
They send me a PM asking for some of my players on loan, then they decide they want a friendly with my club.
Unknown to me they are secretly hijacking my transfer dealings on a totally unknown young keeper who I have been scouting. Clearly going for him based on my interest.
Cheeky little buggers

A good few Liverpool players have just been transfer listed/loan listed.
The good was in reference to the quantity not the quality. But heh....
Were top of the League, top of the League, come on the scousers, Were top of the league!!!
Van Nistelrooy signed for me today, Millwall better watch out on thursday
I won 3-0 away last week with the team I took over. 11 new signings later my Millwall are even stronger!
Vertonghen coming to Newcastle
Players are reviewed when the league in which they are playing(in real life) is reviewed.
Delph won't be reviewed, as English Division2/ Championship has been reviewed last month.
Sometimes a player goes a year without being reviewed.
For eg: Thiago Silva when he was 89 rated, was plying his trade in brazil, by the time Brazilian ratings came along, he moved to Milan and italian ratings were not due for another 4-5 months, even though he had massive contribution to Fluminense's season & was capped 4times in that period. Was an absolute bargain back then at 5.3m.
Similarly, maniak has avoided a drop in rating for Arshavin who is now loaned to Zenit.
Cheap Trick.
There is an even better trick that worked for me once and completely hid my transfer bid, but i felt bad.
I am glad you didn't bid for Hervas btw.
Vertonghen coming to Newcastle
Him & Boateng, should have been bought long time ago.
Gives you enormous amount of options.
Could anyone sending me messages do it via the game's PM function rather than the shitty fb-style chatbox, please; the site is bad enough as it is for those of us playing from our phones without that crap popping up in the middle of my page. I can neither read nor reply to the chatbox so please just use the Private Messages instead.
So does that mean, you missed my 'Shove your tevez back up yours.'?
Wahooo, I got Dabo! It's official Zarlak, Forest are the new United!
Meanwhile one of my players has increased his rating, shame he's ruddy injured!!
