Gaming The SM RedCafe League

*sigh* Brandt got sent off, was 1:1 in normal time and my sub Tierney, for some reason, was designated as the sixth penalty taker and he missed so I'm out.

Roberto (91) Mercado (89) Matip (90) Monreal (90)➕

Eriksen (92) Goretzka (91)
Brandt (90) Dele (91) Sterling (91)⚽

Next up: a loss to Everton in the League.
 
Game hates me, City up next. That's City x 2, Utd, Spurs and Chelsea i've been drawn against in the cups so far.
 
6-0 aint too bad, shame how i will probably go out in the next round vs southampton though... too many tough games in the league around then>
 
too many tough games in the league around then

All league games are tough at the moment.

Can someone shed some light on the benefits of finishing in the top 4 of div 1 and between 6 and 10 in terms of European games. More income? Do they impact on fitness and concerns? Do you need to be gold to actually manage them?

Lots of questions...

More income. No impact on fitness and concerns. Yes, gold needed or it'll be left to assistant manager. More chance of winning silverware (20 trophies woo).

Top 12 make Europe
 
Alright, bit of a complicated situation but one that is in hand. Dele-Bashiru and Mavropanos were signed within minutes of each other and it has took me over FFP temporarily - I didn't expect to win Mavropanos at all. I'm obviously not going to bid on anyone else, and will be selling the following players:

Perin (89) - currently transfer banned until 21st Feb. No specific club in mind.
Monreal (90) - offered him to someone.
Mercado (89) - offered him to someone.
Milik (88) - will go to Bristol on a permanent transfer at the end of the season if he has a good finish in the league and has the money as a result to do so.

They'll be sold for face value because I'm awesome.

Dibs on Milik if not transferred to Bristol

I'll take Monreal if available.

In Milik's case, if Bristol doesn't have the money to sign him permanently and still wants to loan him, he can do. Rest are going to be sold for sure though.

I'll take Monreal if available.
I should know in about a couple of weeks if he is. Derby, Bristol, Kidderminster and Hereford have priority due to constantly loaning players and being in lower divisions (offered to Derby but he wants a week to make a decision as he's got stuff going on in his life so this game isn't a priority of his right now). Will let you know.

Talk about being in control of your own destiny. Win them all and you'll be favourite for the league. Barnsley is a huge test though.

I also face the three teams in a row:

22: Barnsley (h)
23: Nottingham Forest (a)
24: Newcastle United (h)

Joy.

I also face those 3 in a row after i get the next 2 games out of the way, but more importantly for you i face Reading next if i win i think i break my consecutive games won record

Good luck. I somehow ended my "consecutive games lost vs City" record last time I faced them so on Sunday I imagine it'll be back to losing again.
 
Hmmmm
Not many of the strongest teams left in both of the cups. And most of them are playing each other.
Decisions decisions
I have a good squad and can rotate, I essentially have two XI options, which having looked at your squad I believe both can beat you.
 
Whoa... Shots fired
haha, one thing I'll never be accused of is match fixing

Jokes, I don't know, I'm just going to play whatever my strongest team is on the day mate, not focusing on either or, just try to play a strong enough team to try and win the match.
 
Sunday's predictions:

(07) Arsenal v Newcastle United (02)
(20) Birmingham City v Darlington 1883 (09)
(15) Bournemouth v Southend United (08)
(06) Chelsea v Reading (17)
(10) Liverpool v Everton (11)
(18) Manchester United v Manchester City (13)
(05) Norwich City v Nottingham Forest (01)
(16) Plymouth Argyle v Aston Villa (14)
(12) Sunderland v Milton Keynes Dons (19)
(03) Tottenham Hotspur v Barnsley (04)
 
Hard fought 1:0 victory over City. Look at these stats though. Guaranteed if City had a shot on target it would've gone in. Eriksen got sent off (he was a second half sub ffs!) and Isco misses the next game through injury (he was also a second half sub ffs!) so @green_smiley will win on Thursday.
