Gaming The SM RedCafe League

Nah its ok bud. If you want West Ham thats cool. Just need to make sure we have rules in future thats all.

Yeah no worries I'll take West ham. I'll sign up in the morning
 
P-nut, do not worry, the draft rule has only been used a couple of times and this is the first time we got a new player during so it is just testing the newish rule.

I agree with the above, just need to make whatever decision for the future clear.

I do however want to point out that GS said in his rules that you can bid straight away, (implying you can bid when you are ready), and only Damien will only accept bids at the drafts end. This may allow people to wait until their draft pick to sell their players in the future, but admit if you are the last drafter then it may be difficult.
 
Noone took over WH until the draft started so i think the draft should carry on. WH will only lose max 3-4 players anyway. This is like the lack of FFP punishment all over again. Soft cnuts.

Stupid game eh? In situations like this I wish someone came up with a better game with features like this built in!
 
Sunderland now without a manager. Any chance I can have the job? Might stop moaning about starting a new game world :D
 
Anyone interested in taking over Sunderland PM me. If there are multiple takers by Friday 8pm GMT there'll be a poll. If only one person is interested then they'll take over on the Friday.

Seems like a fair way of doing it.
 
The bewildering sale of Rashford makes them a little less appealing, but there's a good squad there nonetheless.
 
Shouldn't there simply be a rule that once a Draft has been called the club in question cannot be taken over?
Yes. I'm not even taking part in this draft, but this should be the rule. If not now, then definitely in the future.
 
So went into the game with no Messi, Pogba or Bale and now:

Antoine GRIEZMANN is now suspended for 1 game after being sent off
Jérôme BOATENG is now suspended for 1 game after being sent off

Congrats Varun. Knew you'd win. Dreadful season for me.

Thanks Damo! My ass man is better than me it seems :nervous:
 
So a late Lukaku goal in the match against Spartak Moskva means that Aston Villa are now Europa League champions!
Very happy with that, hope we can keep up the recent winning form next season.

Also, congrats Varun!

Things of note:
  • Arsenal become the third domestic club to win all three European trophies.
  • Aston Villa win their first European trophy and are the sixth domestic side to have won the SMFA Shield.
  • Darlington 1883 won both domestic cups and are clear leaders in most Shield wins with 4 compared to 2 for others.
  • Manchester City now joint top with Chelsea and Manchester United on League wins.
So damn close to 18 (forgot to set team for Super Cup, lost out to City in final game of League season and lost on penalties to Arsenal in the Champions Cup).
 
If people accept you to be the boss then you should cancel the bids. It's just a bit shit given the Draft was called and people have sold players in preparation for it... in future I just think once a Draft has been called thats it. No player should be able to take over the club in question otherwise it renders the whole thing pointless as someone can take over like you have and put others at a disadvantage because they've sold players getting ready for the draft.
Will be considered in future drafts
 
So if I take part in a Draft, sell players and then someone takes over said club I just have to accept it in good grace and just accept thats part of the risk? Shouldn't there simply be a rule that once a Draft has been called the club in question cannot be taken over? That would avoid this issue. fyi, I sold my first choice fullback last night. So hope you appreciate why i'm not exactly happy lol. I mean,
Leeds even have a higher club valuation than I do despite having not signed anyone or had any rating increases so I don't get why he went before me anyway. /shrugs.
Oh well. Do whatever guys. I'll let GS decide given the Draft is his idea. In future please simply write a rule that states once a Draft has started it cannot be taken over. Simple. I mean The current Topic Title has been like this for weeks ffs.
As of 1st Jan, squad value of Leeds is 81.3m, while yours is 92.2m. However, if there is any mistake, please inform me as soon as possible
 
Running this league seems like a massive ball ache. Credit to Damien, Redsky and whoever else has a hand in this.
