Fulham: Much needed 3 points in the group. Really tight though. Still in 3rd place :(

Yessssssssssssss. Won 2-1 - Messi and Ronnie scored while Gotze set up both goals. Unlucky Varun, if you had a full strength side I reckon you'd have won easily.

The SMFA have awarded Manchester United £400,000 for qualifying for the semi-finals of the SMFA Champions Cup.
Da Silva RAFAEL is now suspended for 1 SMFA competition game after picking up 2 Yellow Cards in SMFA competitions

I equalized in the 59th minute thus preventing myself from going to an attacking formation in the 60th minute. Shit!!

Paid a large premium but snagged the other Murphy twin! Wanted the set and got the other for face value so not to bad a deal.

Can people still join? I tried signing up but the site wouldn't let me.

How does this work then? How long does a season last, etc?
Yeah, anyone can join.

2 games a week excluding cup games. Season lasts for just over 4 months.

Is there any point in joining this at this stage, when the top teams are super strong? I don't need to be able to win, ever, but some progress would be nice.
It's tricky, Wolves have a fairly decent side. But it's fairly old. I'd say it's only worth playing the old league if you fancy a challenge or a lower league experience.

Although you could wait a few weeks and take over Villa once they're relegated...

The new league would be worth joining. Still plenty of good players at external clubs

Yeah, for niMic it'd probably be worth joining the new league instead and see how it goes. The old league is possible to progress, but it requires a fair bit of patience, an eye for a bargain and investment in youth who may or may not come good.

Once the season is over, Carrick and Michu will be available to any interested parties, which may help if you've got the money.

New league? I didn't know about that. This thread is rather too big to read. What's the code and stuff for that? Maybe I'll give it a go if I get bored.

The first season started a few weeks ago.

All clubs started out on £50M, so it's a fair amount to strengthen your team.

:lol: Digne developed a concern for lack of games a while ago, hasn't played any games since and now his concern has disappeared.

If anyone would like to loan him for the remaining games, feel free.

I can't sign up:

Sorry an unexpected error has occurred. Please try again.
I think the site is acting up a bit at the moment. I've been logged out a few times despite being active. Keep on trying though and if it still doesn't work, try again in a few hours and it should work.

Did you play players out of position? If you do, the AI makes changes automatically.

Twice!! As it didnt go through the first time. Assumed it was due to not having subs. Even turned the in-game instructions off.

One player but even he was a yellow. The rest were okay.

Weird that. Because it takes more than a couple of players for the AI to correct it.
