Defeat for Sheffield Utd! Biggs popped up with another goal but it was too little too late. Maybe if @SilentWitness hadn't sold Bradley Barcola things would all be different.
Can we check the ref's bank on this please? We know what that lot are like.

Haven't got time to send squad lists or anything so will do that tomorrow.

You're all struggling a bit so maybe I'll have a think and let you all get an extra superstar or something.
Maybe we could have one normal transfer and one free agent/player under the age of 19 or something.

Don't think we need to make any changes tbh. We already get to buy a player, lock a player down and sell anyone we don't want.

That's true, we just have to deal with the cycle of AI buying crap > us selling to try and offload that and make money > AI buying crap again. :( :D

That's part of the fun I think. Bowen wasn't a pick we'd have made but he ended up being a successful purchase.

I'd prefer a full squad lockdown, then at the end of every season we can buy 3 / sell 3. But might be too late to implement.

I prefer keeping it how it is and letting AI do the work.

Biggest attendance, lowest wage, still lose more money. Can't win.

@altodevil @BD @sebsheep @SilentWitness @The Cat @BenitoSTARR

To assist you this summer and let you come closer to perfecting your squads, I will allow 3 signings:

1. Your regular signing for the median price.
2. A second signing for half the median price.
3. A free (blindly picked) wonderkid signing. Tell me the position you want. I will give you a number of players that show up in my parameters for that position. Tell me a number and you get that player automatically. No looking at stats, value, etc.. You just mystery box it.

We take long enough deciding on 1 player :lol:
:lol: It's fine. I won't have as much time this week so happy to take Season 9 slow.

I'm in Montenegro next week so this will take a break til the week after. We'll go past 10 seasons.

Let me know if you spot any high PA regens

Sometimes we ask to look at what seems to be a top player and they come back with zero dots :lol:
:lol:

Also I just noticed the screenshots again from Solius regarding award wingers and we have an Argentine right midfielder called Leonel Tunessi...sounds suspicious.

We've finally figured stuff out so the game can progress tomorrow!
