Gaming The SM RedCafe League

[Damien]

Expecting Bentancur to have his concern dropped, and wages increase of 146,085

Wages will be fun. Let me see:

Vinicius Jr (70=>83): £3k => £12k
Alarcon Isco (92=>93): £106k => £131k
Leon Goretzka (90=>91): £65k => £84k
Denis Zakaria (85=>87): £14k => £26k
Increase: £65k

Loaned out players:
Jose Gaya (89=>90): £49k => £65k
John Stones (89=>90): £49k => £65k
Kylian Mbappe (88=>91): £36k => £84k
Increase: £78k

Total Increase: £143k

Balance that out by selling:

Perin (89): £49k
Mercado (89): £49k
Monreal (90): £65k
Total: £163k

Not that I'm bothered about wages - my balance is £391.5M.

Wages... oh dear god.

 

[Damien]

Only VJ's wages went up for me and Perin hasn't got a playing concern. Stupid game.

Right on cue Areola and Butland get their concerns.

The Real Crackers has resigned...

noooooooo

...as the Italy manager.

ffs don't scare me like that

 

[CrackersJr]

noooooooo



ffs don't scare me like that

lol nah wouldnt do that at this point.... ask me again at the end of the season when i do a tottenham on it and come second despite the likes of everton, you city and arsenal all not having good seasons....

 

[Damien]

Yeah I don't think you'll ever get a better chance to win the title than this season. Tough thing for you is Forest have continued their form from last season.

 

[CrackersJr]

full on ready to do a tottenham on it so....

 

[Gythio]

And only give it till their TB expires before they are traded again

Will swap them back and then sell

 

[Damien]

Good, you're both never going to need them.

 

[green_smiley]

Looks like Cardiff City will be available next. Some good players up for grab

Ugh. I spent ages coming to an agreement on a transfer then he decides to log off and never come back

 

[green_smiley]

And @Dans is now way over his FFP limit

 

[Dans]

Accpeted a bid, withdrawn 2 bids. I guess I'll have to send Chmabers back - leaves me needing to lose another 3. Feel free to bid on my younger players.

 

[RedSky]

@Dans

As a reminder, you are currently way over your FFP limit. This means you are Transfer Banned (cannot bid on anyone).

You need to reduce your squad down to 53, at that point you are back on your FFP limit and then you may bid on players (with P/E).

 

[Dans]

aha - shite. I was trying to do 2 for 1s to get my squad number down.

I have 3 on which if they go through would get me down to the magic number. It'll be quicker than any other way.

 

[Mr Anderson]

No offense man, but the idea is you are not allowed to bid when over your squad limit in any case. Gentlemen agreement is sell before you can bid. Because you might be successful in one bid and not in the other, thus still not balanced and reaping rewards when rest of us maintain it

 

[Dans]

Well, if one goes through and the other two don't then I'll still be reducing my squad size. So I am in fact selling!

 

[Damien]

Doesn't matter. Exceeding FFP is supposed to be a punishment. Getting players you want in exchange for players you don't while over your FFP limit isn't a punishment at all.

 

[Dans]

I'll cancel all bids though - no worries.

With no Suarez, I can well see Villa starting their new year with a fairly simple win.

lol Spurs

My best season in charge of the magpies and still am 3k short of a full stadium....

 

[Gythio]

Will be playing my cup side as i forgot to rotate the team during the holidays. You have this one in the bag.

 

[Damien]

I triedto take teams playing their cup sides into account like Everton and Villa.

 

[christy87]

I'm playing my cup side though

 

[Damien]

I'm playing my cup side though

I know but you're better than Everton.

 

[infamous7]

Jammy loss
Bristols keeper with the MOTM

 

[Damien]

Lost 2:0 as expected. Hate the 2D match engine. Pretty much every time I go forward, it shows decent positions then the shot hitting the post or something stupid... then the one or two times Darlington went forward they scored. Stat difference (I'm the home side)... and once again the opposition keeper gets MOTM

De Gea (94)

Roberto (91) Ramos (95) Boateng (94) Alaba (93)
Pogba (93) Isco (93)↓
Brandt (90)↓ Kroos (95) Bale (95)
Griezmann (95)
​

Subs: Kimmich (91), Monreal (90), Goretzka (91), Dele (91), Eriksen (92)↑, Bernardo (91), Sterling (91)↑
Did not travel: Matip (90), Martial (90), Perin (89), Mercado (89)

Key:
= Goal
= Assist
= MOTM
↓ = Subbed off
↑ = Subbed on

Next up: Everton in the Cup.

 

[The Stain]

Game is rigged. Thanks SM engine for deciding i should win a season before the schedule came out, now feck off. I'm happy, happy new year.

 

[Damien]

Stupid game @RedSky @The Stain

Stupid game @RedSky @The Stain

You have way too much time on your hand.

 

[Damien]

You have way too much time on your hand.

Didn't take that long to be honest (though would have been easier if the stupid game would let you press 'back').
