A never-nude? I thought he just liked cut-offs.
Your team is one of the strongest in it IMO - if you can pick them both up that's a cracking reinforcement.

In drafts when you can get 'pairs' like that it always works better as well. The ultimate always being Cafu / Carlos but tbh you're pairing isn't much behind that (if at all) given Marcelo's performances over the last few years.
Cheers mate. Aye, I rate Marcelo/Dani Alves exceptionally highly in an attacking sense, and they're a fitting pair of full backs with Ro-Ro spearheading the team. It'll be less than watertight defensively though, as I reluctantly agree with Invictus below and I'll most likely be playing him in a back four :nervous:.

Marcelo still has some question marks in terms of the strength of his overall game for me (especially when compared with Alves in recent years) - and could be a bit of a liability in our 4-man defense.

You can do it but if all the bids are finalised and you are over budget then you will lose a player and votes.
Not at end of all bids.

Say you have $100m in cash and have bid on 4 players, Player A for $100m, Player B for 20m and Player C for 50m.
Assuming Player A come due first, your cash is all utilized. When Player B comes due, you better sell or steal. Or both players B & C will be in trouble. We will not wait for C to mature.

If at any time you do not have cash to cover, all other active bids will be frozen and taken over by bank for reconsideration.

Feck it, option B it is, might as well have some fun

@Edgar Allan Pillow I’d like to sell the following to the bank please. I believe my math is correct

Junior sold to Invictus/Raees for 30
Dzajic - base 80 - sell back for 60
Finney - bought for 50 - sell back for 30
Mcgrain - bought for 30 - sell back for 20

Leftover from round 1 - 20M
Bonus - 50M
Sales total - 140M
Total - 210M

Which leaves me with 8 players currently

Same as before. Can bid for more, but you need to have cash available when respective players bid time comes due.
So what happens if they can't settle in the end, what about the manager that got outbid and missed out on the player? Just seems a bit unfair. Players should be sold first and money banked before bids go in.

If the unlisted player bought for $20m. If more than we stick by existing rules, 30 = 20, anything more we pick at base price (20m).
You confused me by your answers yesterday when I asked you a very simple question:lol:


Players purchased for $30m will be bought back for $20m.

T.4 - Players not in minimum value list can be sold to bank for $10m.

there is no need for the second rule, it should just say 20m player gets 10m.

Fantastic reinforcements @Raees @Invictus

Can see how you're moving Pele upwards (which I think is definitely the right move) and getting a coup with Rivera.

I'm massively tempted to feck them over on Rivera. I was contemplating bidding on him from the start but they beat me to it, and 30m is a steal.

Behind the right goal post as "Whiteside shoots!"
I’m currently trying to decide how crazy to go right now.

Option A is gonna be a simple upgrade with same setup (and no mention of any Brazil side ever)

Option B is to go batshit crazy and I’ve done some number crunching to make 4 changes to bring in some top tier players but change the set up
Batshit crazy every time.... life's too short to take the easy option.

Plus you'll pick up all the Gollum voters who'll see the top names and go "ooooh, shiny"

Love this. :lol:

Might have done this myself. Essentially getting an entire new team to play with and there's plenty to pick from.
draft junkie in me was screaming for this, couldnt turn him down
