From a quick glance, van Bergen seems to be the only decent one there. Damn you @langster and you taking ages to bid.

I'm gonna take a risk and go for Dante Rigo. Interesting trivia:
1) on Bing his name translates to Nick Radford.
2) he was @Mciahel Goodman's nominee in Race to 90 (ii) so he'll go well with my failure VJ.

Thanks for the drafts.

Sorry guv, dad had a double heart attack last week and I am moving out the pub as well. So it's been a mare. Good news though me and the Mrs are sorting things out nicely. I will bid asap. Sorry again.

Few nice rises today.

Aaron Martin is now 87, in less than a year he has gone from 78 to 87 which isn't bad for a defender. Although he will probably start moaning about game time now.

Hoping for a +4 for Odriozola, if he gets it that means he's gone from 76 to 86 in 7 months. Which again I'm happy with :)

Plenty of full back prospects at Wolves. Don't know how everyone else struggles :D

Full back options are:

Clyne
Vida
Gerhardt
Weiser
Conti
Biraghi
Aaron Martin
Odriozola
Rodrigues
Mittlestadt
Amavi
Gorosabel.

Plenty for now. Plenty for the future.

Also have the right to buy on another in the summer ;)

Make me offers if you need any :D

Nice. These are my only FB capable players:

LB:
Alaba (93)
Monreal (90) - only plays CB for Arsenal these days
Gaya (89)
Dalbert (88) - bid accepted
Shaw (88) - Missing Person's poster out for him
Tierney (86)
Sarr (83) - never a LB and Favre is a cock
Zesiger (78) (will lose it when Switzerland is reviewed)

RB:
Ramos (95) - never plays RB anymore
Boateng (94) - never plays RB anymore
Kimmich (91)
Stones (90) - never plays RB anymore
Zouma (88) - never plays RB anymore
Chambers (87) - plays RB but shouldn't

Both:
Roberto (91) - might lose ability to play LB but won't lose ability to play RB
Mercado (89)
Elvedi (87) - only seen him play RB
Jedvaj (86) - Missing Person's poster out for him

Good choice. Have enough cover for DM position so did not pick him
Click to expand...
When it comes to me, nearly every player I have either gets a position change or a major injury.

Here are my players capable of playing DM:
Kroos (95) - all good but mainly plays AM for me
Alaba (93) - only plays there for country and he's my first choice LB (a position which also presents a myriad of problems - see earlier post)
Pogba (93) - all good
Eriksen (92) - could lose it at some point
Isco (92) - all good but mainly plays AM for me
Goretzka (91) - I think should be okay
Roberto (91) - should be okay
Alli (91) - could lose it at some point
Bernardo (91) - could lose it at some point
Matip (90) - not played there for years, will lose it at some point
Zouma (88) - never plays there
Elvedi (87) - never plays there
Chambers (87) - not played there for years, will lose it at some point
Zakaria (87) - all good... so far

Rigo (73)

So SM don't remove positions even though they no longer play there anymore?

  • Boateng sent off in first 20 minutes of game - getting a 3 match ban
  • Kimmich injured
  • Bale OG at start of second half
  • Lost 3:0 to Arsenal
Sounds about right.

It's actually quite crazy how you have lost games on trot with the squad rating.
Click to expand...
Last season I won the first 12(?) league games on the trot. Now I'm heading to a situation where I'm losing the first 12 at least. Think I'll end up having to mess around with formation now because for some stupid reason what I'm doing isn't working in the league anymore. I refuse to accept the seasons of success was purely down to Messi and his loss has suddenly turned me into the worst team ever. I've got a good squad of players.

More than good. Maybe there is something of correction for drop in squad average rating. Still hard to explain it.
On the bright side, you can make the greatest comeback to win the title. :)

Thing is my squad average rating barely changed. Even though I lost Messi (99), Aurier (91) and Benassi (89) I gained Kroos (95), Alaba (93) and Kimmich (91) so my team went from:

De Gea (94)

Aurier (91) Ramos (95) Boateng (94) Roberto (91)
Pogba (93) Isco (92)
Eriksen (92) Griezmann (95) Bale (95)
Messi (99)​

Average: 93.7​

to

De Gea (94)

Roberto (91) Ramos (95) Boateng (94) Alaba (93)
Pogba (93) Isco (92)
Eriksen (92) Kroos (95) Bale (95)
Griezmann (95)​

Average: 93.5​
 
Dyabala sent off after 16 mins, still managed to hold onto a draw against my former team. Daaaacent
 
West Ham transfers all gone through. Still a few transfers for Birmingham left to go through (no bid made). Obviously we know the circumstances with van Bergen but if the other bids can go in soon, that'd be great.
  1. Leeds United - Pellegrini (1.3x FV)
  2. Middlesbrough - Burnic (1.3x FV)
  3. Derby County - van Bergen (1.5x FV)
  4. Darlington 1883 - Skhiri (2x FV)
  5. Manchester United - Rigo (2x FV)

Yeah, it's very odd. Think you have to do something. Change to a 4-3-3?
