Enzo joins Wolves on loan with option to buy. Good transfer that one as Dijon FCO stopped playing him as the Manager is a dummy.

Elliot not rising? Didn't expect anything massive but 67 is a joke for a player who has actually got game time for Liverpool this season. Did they forget he exists?

remind me whats the criteria
Open for new entries

Race to 90 (III)

Criteria
  • Player age: 18 or below
  • Player rating: 78 or below
  • Once your pick is made, you cannot change it
  • Managers and players must remain with their original club to stay eligible for the race
  • Due date: 10 Apr 2019 (Wed), 9am BST
Jeremie Frimpong just missed out by turning 19 in December. I think it is probably too soon for a fourth one at the moment (though I would say that as I've only got three players eligible and one is in Rt90(III)).

Milan have made a bid for Matias Viña. Feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeck. Literally any other team come in for him, please. Theo Hernandez has been the best LB in Serie A ffs, he'd never play.

Leyton Orient January transfers so far:

Emanuel Vignato - Chievo -> Bologna (loaned back until summer)
Lennart Czyborra - Heracles -> Atalanta
Radoslaw Majecki - Legia -> Monaco (loaned back until summer)
Halil Dervisoglu - Sparta Rotterdam -> Brentford
Gonzalo Villar - Elche -> Roma (imminent)

Lots of rumors as well.

Manchester United Worst Transfer-Outs XI

GK: Ederson Moraes [Arsenal]: From 88 to 93

RB: Joao Cancelo [Everton]: From 80 to 91
CB: ??????
CB: Joel Matip [Hereford]: From 90 to 91
LB: Alex Sandro [Newcastle United]: From 89 to 92

CM: Georginio Wijnaldum [Chelsea]: From 88 to 93
CM: Bernardo Silva [Everton]: From 91 to 93
CM: Philippe Coutinho [Everton]: From 88 to 94

RW: Memphis Depay [Aston Villa]: From 90 to 91
ST: Alexander Lacazette [Bournemouth]: From 91 to 92
LW: Heung-Min Son [Southampton]: From 90 to 93

Note: I'm not bothered about any of these, really. With Ederson, especially, I knew he was easily going to be 93+ player and that he was going to City, which pissed me off that Wolves were the only team interested.

Were most of those trades to get a better player?

I don't think so. In pretty much all cases I was fine in the positions and the players had various obstacles at the time restricting their game time. Bernardo Silva I swapped for a CB as I needed one, but other than him and Sandro (I'd rather not speak about the fullness of that one), I think the rest were offloaded for cash.
