Thanks to both JB and Damien for the loans of Aurier and Son. Aside from that 12 other players should sign permanently in the coming hours which should bump up the average rating to an acceptable level.

No problem. All the best and good luck for the remainder of the season in your battle to avoid relegation. Given your remaining fixtures, it'll be difficult indeed but those signings should help you out.

Relatively speaking, it's still not a very good squad and no match for Arsenal. Main bikav nahin hoon!

The next 2 games are vital. Need to win at least 1 of them to have a chance.

Yep, but you've turned what was a sure 3 points even with a few rested players into a contest.

Markovic up to 88.

Vidic, Carrick and Michu will be on their way out once the season is over, so next season's first team squad currently looks like it'll be:

Goalkeeper

David de Gea (23/91)
Ben Amos (23/82)

Defenders

Rafael da Silva (23/91)
Serge Aurier (21/88)

Sergio Ramos (27/95)
Vincent Kompany (27/93)
Kyriakos Papadopoulos (21/89)
Kurt Zouma (19/88)

Alex Sandro (23/89)
Lucas Digne (20/88)

Midfielders

Lars Bender (24/91)
Alarcon Isco (21/91)
Paul Pogba (20/90)
James McCarthy (23/89)

Cristiano Rolando (29/98)
Gareth Bale (24/94)
Christian Eriksen (22/90)

Forwards

Lionel Messi (26/99)
Mario Gotze (21/93)
Mario Balotelli (23/91)
Lazar Markovic (19/88)

Will probably keep one or two of the 87 rated players as well for the cup squad.

Championship deciding match today. Sunderland vs Darlington. Hope I win. Otherwise will be extremely hard to get promoted much less win the league.

Huge game that. Let the best man win!

I've got Everton at home, which will be a tough fixture. So I imagine my pursuit of top 4 ends today.

Is there any reason why my bids for a particular player (external) keep getting rejected? First time around I bid his actual value, 2nd time around I bid 200k higher than and still rejected. Really annoying as the player I used as p/e has had a huge drop in value now after all the signings:(

Possibility that someone else has signed another player from the same team, if it's in the same/similar position it will change the value of the player.

Nah, his value hasn't gone up. It may have gone down actually.

My team is fecked in terms of fitness because of me going for the fa cup in the final. Lots Of them in the mid 80 and both Robben and Ibra are out. Far from a walkover tonight.

Thrashed Stoke 1-0 in the new league. Bentaleb came on in the 75th minute to assist the winner - Eriksen on 82 minutes :cool:

And yet again, Arsenal's lack of faith in Gnabry costs them.
