I already see my teams making waves.

I think the lure of the Eden project, is bringing them in.
Obviously for when they retire, and their kids are grown

Final update for today.

Transfers

First the transfers, @Šjor Bepo has been very active, Paulo Wanchope was the 2nd highest transfer in the world, 17.25M from Man City. Ahead of this, only Christian Vieri from Inter to Real Madrid.



But not happy with this, he also got Benito Carbone for 11M from Bradford.



@Siorac got Desire-Job for 4.7M from Boro



And also Les Ferdinand for 400k from Spurs



@KirkDuyt got Lee Hendrie for 3.7M from Villa



@Cheimoon paid Boro 11M for Alen Boksic


League 3

Money doesn't buy success and @OptimisedRed is top of the table having spent less than 1M




The leader's matches so far:


This is the best player of League 3 so far



Top scorers:


Conference




Best player so far:


League Cup

The League Cup hasn't been kind to redcafe teams, after 2 rounds, only 4 teams remain, here's the Round 3 matchups:



@Hephaestus @SilentWitness and @The Cat knocked out Premier League clubs:




If you guys want to see anything specific let me know.

Yeah, can you bring in The Raines Group so I can speak to them?
It's crazy you haven't bought a single player. The club actually got a couple of sponsors so you now have 502M in the bank.

And I'm all out of bubblegum.
Oh god, the arrows. To this day I still have no idea what they actually did. I thought I did, but then when they got rid of them they explained that everyone made assumptions about them that were completely wrong.

no-one in particular
Whoohoo, second! And 1 point ahead of #4 already, promotion is basically in the bag. I'm just regretting now that we didn't go all out in our opening match against @Solius: clearly it's a poor team, well below our level, that was there for the taking.

And there's plenty to come still - only 10 goals in 10 matches, clearly our amazing strikers are underperforming their xG and will catch up soon.

In if it's not too late. 17 VDG.

Ahh CM01/02 - my all time favourite, and the one I've played the most. I must have wasted countless hours of my life. In that game, Arsenal and United fight for everything domestically and in Europe, Francis Jeffers is a wonderkid and Paul Scholes behind Van Nistelrooy will get you 50 goals a season.

Legendary.

Yep, in basic school everyone had a theory. In my head it was just "more arrows to the top, more goals" and that was it, I had all the midfielders and fullbacks with a arrow up.

You can join the conference now or wait for season 2 and enter league 3, let me know.

Arsenal and United are absolutely insane in this game, this is the PL table right now, absolute domination.

I was at the game he scored against us at old Trafford when we pumped them 7-1.
Thankfully a scholes hat-trick and a Beckham free kick in off the crossbar made the day even sweeter.

Third so far, that’s pretty good for little old Oxford and obviously spreading the goals around the team as I don’t feature in the top scorers at all!

Did I buy anyone?

Top of the league!! Come on.
I've offered each player a £300 bonus if they can win the league. :drool:

Wow, signing Job and Les Ferdinand for the Conference! Scoring goals shouldn't be a problem now.

A couple of free transfers, you got this guy from @Solius for free and he's actually doing pretty well, 4 motm in 11 games.

The fans of Torquay understand I'm in negotiations to buy a new striker.

Here it is. As you can see, it's got its best years in front of it.
