Oh yeah, forgot about that
You were expecting his rating to go up/down based on playing time?Messi on the bench against Atleti, fml.
Oh no, nothing about rating. Just when I do the weekly game time thing in the competition against RedSky I'll probably end up losing due to thisYou were expecting his rating to go up/down based on playing time?
You always win!!Oh no, nothing about rating. Just when I do the weekly game time thing in the competition against RedSky I'll probably end up losing due to this
Not this time. Pogba's on the bench as well.You always win!!
So is Vietto and Munir, Willems and Sanson both still injured. Rafetraniaina has disappeared again. None my my 3 Bordeaux players played yesterday. Munoz is on contract strike for Sevilla.Not this time. Pogba's on the bench as well.
I currently have decent rated players for all positions but I am lacking younger players so am trying to buy but no one will sell.Well you're obviously a mug then. I had 2 starting 89 rated players in my first team when I won the league. They're only 1 rating away from going up to 90, 88's are useful for backup squad players as shown by me using Fabinho, Willems and feck Berahino is 87 rated and i've been using him as a sub.
You're a rating snob.
A few hours and you didn't bid. You missed the window of opportunity.I currently have decent rated players for all positions but I am lacking younger players so am trying to buy but no one will sell.
£25m for Eriksen ffs. He offered to me at £26m as well and withdrew a little later.
Well yes, no one will sell highly rated young players for obvious reasons! You have to pick them up at 85-87 rated and get them rising in your own squad.I currently have decent rated players for all positions but I am lacking younger players so am trying to buy but no one will sell.

I only had £22m at the time if you agreed to the sale it would have been done straight away. You just offered him Herrera style. Would have withdrew if I accepted!A few hours and you didn't bid. You missed the window of opportunity.
He has youngsters rated much highger and with much better potential. Losing Eriksen will make NO difference fro him. Absolutely none. He is the player with the least potential and probably the one who will keep the lowest rating out of all his squad. That's why I picked him!Well yes, no one will sell highly rated young players for obvious reasons! You have to pick them up at 85-87 rated and get them rising in your own squad.
He's made 27 appearances for Damien though (in matches that reduce fitness). So it would make a difference wouldn't it?He has youngsters rated much highger and with much better potential.

He's keeping him because he has an extremely solid squad, youngsters with fantastic potential and gets enough money every match to not care for it.
HOG!
No, no. I hog players.He's made 27 appearances for Damien though (in matches that reduce fitness). So it would make a difference wouldn't it?
Havent akash,tmh and damien been rotating players so as not to develop concerns? So LB could have a valid point here.He's made 27 appearances for Damien though (in matches that reduce fitness). So it would make a difference wouldn't it?
It's because he hadn't bought Ozil or Vidal. He also bought Son!He's made 27 appearances for Damien though (in matches that reduce fitness). So it would make a difference wouldn't it?
I've had Son since before Season 8 started, you dork.It's because he hadn't bought Ozil or Vidal. He also bought Son!
Yea of course ignore all the other points and reply by telling me that your squads deadwood was available to buy. Tell me by how many will Knoche rise this season? Or even better how many games is he going to actually play? You know that very well considering you sold him.As already been proven there were plenty of young players 85+ available. You just didn't bother to buy them.
Look at Herrera and Green Smiley who managed to shoot up the youth table by buying the right young players. A new season began and you didn't contest for any of the risers, it's your own fault.
feck off, do some scouting there is plenty of websites to help you and stop complaining.It's because he hadn't bought Ozil or Vidal. He also bought Son!
He'll be reduced to even less but anyways.
Also just had a search out of curiosity more, as I am checking almost daily anyway, for young players 85+ and 98% are taken while the rest have no potential.
The GW is oversaturated and around 10 of the teams have not only got the best players but also the best talent. A lowering of the FFP cap by 5 would make 50 or so of those available to the other 30 teams with everyone having a chance to get someone. 5 players less won't make a difference to a team of 45 nor would it to a team of 50 but a massive difference for everyone else.
Obviously it is in your interest to want to keep your players and there's nothing we can do but people will eventually get bored of watching a bunch of you trade the best players and buy the best youngsters and leave you to yourselves again and I'm sure you won't mind tha but then why allow people to join at all.
Barring MJJ, right?Yea of course ignore all the other points and reply by telling me that your squads deadwood was available to buy. Tell me by how many will Knoche rise this season? Or even better how many games is he going to actually play? You know that very well considering you sold him.
Sometimes I don't know why I bother tbh. You're all as selfish as each other and of course you'd have each other's back as its in all your interests.
do you want your cap reduced to 40Barring MJJ, right?
Hell to the No!do you want your cap reduced to 40
Thats what LB is on about, it was never really going to distribute the current talent it was only ever going to effect the scouting talent and LB is giving out because he doesn't scout and doesn't see the point in scouting players and waiting years for them to grow.Hell to the No!
But I do see his point of better distribution of the talent through out the league, although the new rules are supposed to be doing just that.
I do plenty of scouting thanks but all the players young and old are taken and the ones I do get to bid on I get outbid because you know all the money you all have and make trading with each other.feck off, do some scouting there is plenty of websites to help you and stop complaining.
Nah, I think he wants a restriction on the higher rated players per team since there arent enough to go around. Instead of having a fixed squad cap, we can have a squad cap per rating gap (95-99,90-95,85-90 and so on). Where you can substitute between structures like one 95-99= two 90-95 or four 80-90 etc.Thats what LB is on about, it was never really going to distribute the current talent it was only ever going to effect the scouting talent and LB is giving out because he doesn't scout and doesn't see the point in scouting players and waiting years for them to grow.
Which it is if you look at the riser distribution, hardly any of them have gone to the top teams. Litterbug simply didn't buy any because he's too lazy to buy them at 75-80 rating like the rest of us do. Which is great news for those that did bother to do scouting and buy up risers, they managed to get the new crop of youngsters largely trouble free. I was pulling my hair out at the amount of players that have been bought with no competition while back in the day when there was no FFP every riser was battled over.Hell to the No!
But I do see his point of better distribution of the talent through out the league, although the new rules are supposed to be doing just that.
It takes all of 10minutes to check a league in transfermarket for young players. Or he asks for help, for some tips etc. I give them out to those who ask nicely as @langster, Bristol City and Cardiff City managers will know.I wish i bought Durm after looking at Redskys list, really light at left back.
@RedSky the one thing Lb has going against him is there is a lot of us quicker at finding talent than him
