Now some cnut will take TAA :(:(:(
its a pointless game for a casual, every young player i hear of even from my own country is already owned, feck knows how...was offering unrealistic offers for fecking youth products that will most likely go nowhere and for SM average joes like Lingard yet people dont want to sell so there is no point of playing.

Yeah the scouting is insane right now. It's probably the most difficult this Gameworld has ever been if that makes you feel any better. (It doesnt I know).

You're welcome back whenever, but yeah this is the toughest period for scouting I've seen.

The only real way I think is to have squad space start of season and go hell for leather for all the kids making debuts in other leagues. It'll be a bidding war for each but if you have space and are in for all of them, you'll land enough to start.

Wolves have player sent off in first half - end up winning 2:1. This always happens to me. The stats. Now Pogba and Alaba are injured. Really is a miracle I'm still in the top four.

De Gea (95)

Kimmich (92)➕ Ramos (95) Boateng (93) Alaba (93)
Goretzka (91) Pogba (93)
Martial (90) Kroos (95)⚽ Isco (93)

Griezmann (95)

Subs: Christensen (90), Brandt (90), Roberto (91), Dele (92), Mbappe (93), Gaya (90), Sterling (92)
Suspended: Eriksen (93)
Did not travel: Stones (90)

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


Next three games:
CCR1L1: Valencia (H)
LSSF: Sunderland (A) - definite Sunderland victory as I'm concentrating on trying to finish top four.
MD28: Arsenal (A)

Red card is a ME exploit. 1-0 before my red card, 3-1 end score.

:( Well congrats to you or Darlington. Impossible to see a team outside of you two winning the title now.
Ye, you're just too far behind us and Alaba is injured the remainder of the season.

What happened to Belotti? Seems to have stagnated, injuries?

No injuries, just struggled to match his early form at Torino. He needs a move but the chairman over values him so he doesn't go anywhere.

He's scored 7 goals so far this season. Next highest is Daniele Baselli on 4 and then the rest of Torinos squad is either on 2 goals or below.

They're just a bit shit. Like a poor mans Everton.
