FFP Rules - Anyone Breaking This From Now On Will Get A Kenwood Juicer Thrown At Their Heads
  • A club may not have a squad larger than his Max Squad limit.
  • Loaned In players will count to your squad size.
  • If your squad size exceeds your limit, your club will be banned from transferring any players in to the club. This includes P/E deals.
  • If you reach your squad cap, you may sign players but any deals would require 1 player in and 1 player out to ensure you remain on your squad cap
  • For teams with squads below the FFP, any bid made on a player shall be assumed to be won by the team bidding, and included in determining your squad limit for FFP.
See last bulletpoint.

We wrote up new rules to stop this. He shouldn't have bid full stop so it's ban.
Yeah but it's impossible to keep track of everyones bids, right now i may have placed bids for 30 different players that nobody has shortlisted and no one would ever know. Incredibly difficult to enforce.

I think the point when someones bid on a player affects the chances of another manager is when we should start banning.

We've already set a precedent and rewrote the rules and 4 Managers got banned last time it happened. Chop off his head for a month.

The managers got banned because they didn’t withdraw in time and were in the race to sign those players til the very end. At least that’s the way i see it.

@Damien

Shouldn't placing the bid itself call for the ban? The rule says any bid "made" triggers it, doesn't matter whether the guy withdraws it later or not.
Yes it should. Wino got banned for just putting the bid in, technically all those who's bids will take them over FFP should be slapped with bans.

I see where you guys are coming from though. In the future i'd be fine with that if that's the way you want it to work.

Someone make a post on SM with the FFP rules and also send them as PM's to everyone on the game someone. @Damien

Match of the millennium tonight as underdogs United face high-flying Hereford at home. United are without four key players, while Hereford boast a fully match fit squad with no suspensions.

No. When the transfers went through a month ago, Wolves, Fulham and I got banned despite not winning any of the bids.
They used us to set an example..Rules had not been set and crimes were not committed.
Smiley Stain and redsky were acting like their father is the king of saudi arabia.

United's plucky underdogs beat the evil Hereford 1:0. The evil Hereford's dirty games continued during the match as Matip got sent off for a potential career-ending tackle. We wish the evil Hereford the best of luck over the rest of the season and hope that they don't get as many injuries as they have subjected us to via the jinxes.

De Gea (95)

Christensen (90) Ramos (95) Boateng (94) Gaya (90)
Roberto (91) Eriksen (93)
Dele (92) Pogba (93)⚽⭐ Isco (93)
Mbappe (92)➕

Subs: Bardhi (87), Miranchuk (87), Goretzka (91), Brandt (90), Martial (90), Kimmich (92), Alaba (93)
Seriously injured: Kroos (95), Sterling (92), Stones (90)
Annoyingly injured: Griezmann (95)
Did not travel: n/a - RedSky's voodoo has injured everyone

Key:
⚽ = Goal
➕ = Assist
⭐ = MOTM
= Subbed off
= Subbed on


Next three games:
LSR3: Reading (H)
MD16: Southampton (A)
MD17: Chelsea (H)

Ok, the curse may now be lifted after our game. Although i'm tempted to curse you again after that disgraceful write up.

What's the final take on whether a bid itself triggers the ban?
I suggested the rules be posted on SM and also sent to everyone's PM's (in game) so there are no excuses in the future. Then i see no reason for it to be the bid itself that gets you the ban. As long as everyone knows clearly how it works (which MKD possibly might not have).

I don't mind either ways, just want to be sure everyone interprets it the same way because the current wording in the rules mean one can't even bid.

United's plucky underdogs are set to host formidable Reading tonight. Further showing United's injury woes, young starlet Ridle Baku (75) is rumoured to be making his debut tonight. A source says "We know we will lose but can only hope to keep the margin of defeat to single figures"

It's ok Damien, you're players are starting to come back from injury so you've gone through the hardest part of your season. Well done.
