Gaming The SM RedCafe League

[Damien]

Ever since it happened, I was looking on SM every day for Mbappe to be readded, so yesterday I bid on him pretty much just after he was added to give me the best chance of getting him back (however slim it is).

Varun bid a few hours later. I explained situation to him and he was sympathetic. Said he'd withdraw after bids are accepted if nobody else bids.

Then around 2am today (last minute), Herrera makes a bid and is now gloating about it on SM.

So chances are I'm both stuck with Sylla and won't get Mbappe as he'll end up going to Liverpool or some other stupid decision.

Thanks to those who didn't bid out of courtesy despite knowing Mbappe was added - like @The Stain

 

[green_smiley]

So, who gets the real Mbappe?

 

[green_smiley]

I did see the real Mbappe was added few days ago. Thought you still have him so didn't bother to look further

 

[The Stain]

Don't get why SM didn't just change Sylla's details to Mbappe's. They could then just re-add or simply just retire him. If anyone even has him.

He was the player someone were saying; "he was a decent player at 10", or similar, wasn't he?

 

[green_smiley]

Herrera should withdraw his bid, but that is probably just me

Nah, it's probably most of us.

Yep. Christy. Look at last set of spoilers where Herrera also posted on the completed transfer thread for Sylla (at time it said Kylian Mbappe as you and the others can confirm). He then bid on the real Mbappe last minute.

He won't. He did it deliberately. Times of bids:

Spoiler

 

[green_smiley]

Oh, and Sylla should be excluded from Damien's FFP, since this is SM feck up

 

[Varun]

Drop him a PM to atleast ask @Damien

 

[The Stain]

I remember. It was clear it was Mbappe you had acquired.

 

[The Stain]

Btw, there won't be any 30 mill for 3rd place in the league (recall GS saying he got that). MK2 has very rich economy.

LB told me he received 28 mill for winning another league with normal economy and 20 mill for 6th place so it's not all bad. Winning european competitions will be an even bigger deal now. 20 mill for CL win with 10 for runner up. SMFA Shield half that. No clue for domestic cups but probably a bit higher than before.

 

[green_smiley]

3rd place in very rich economy: 30m
3rd place in normal economy: 26m -ish

Not much difference. Time to slash your wage bill, everyone

 

[green_smiley]

MK2:

3rd in MK2 league, and got prize money of 29,693,430

got 27 million for 4th place

 

[green_smiley]

3rd place in very rich economy: 30m
3rd place in normal economy: 26m -ish

Not much difference. Time to slash your wage bill, everyone

Although a rise in other income (sponsors, gate receipt) in richer economy could be significant

 

[Anustart89]

Dick move from Herrera IMO.

 

[Varun]

Herrera withdrew @Damien

 

[Damien]

Thanks all that was close

 

[Varun]

Thanks all that was close

Told you he would withdraw if you told him the background.

 

[Damien]

I never spoke to him. Think the replies on his SM comment helped things though

I have a strong feeling Tottenham are bugged to receive 50 mil every season, because in 3 seasons managing them in two DIFFERENT GWs, I have received 50mil, irrespective of standing or performance in the previous season. I love the money, but I don't feel it's fair because I receive money in GWs where I don't need it.

http://forum.soccermanager.com/topic/158071-prize-money/

I recently discovered that the larger clubs in SM will often get massive cash injections (30-50 mil as I've seen it) at the start of the new season, I suppose to help them preserve their status as large clubs and maybe even mimic an aspect of real world football economy (rich chairmen spending their own money on the club).

Someone went on to say Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool got huge injections in a another world.

SM forum mod Steven has said they're working on it but wtf, how can one group of people feck a game so badly

 

[Varun]

Hurry the feck up @RedSky

Don't forget the stadium increases. Some of you guys in Division 1 have had 2 this year, yet to my knowledge, nobody in a lower league has had one yet.

In other spectacular SM news. Did anyone notice the player values change again last week? Some players seem to have gained a few quid while others decreased. My best guess is that they have been getting uber amounts of shit on the forums about the increases that happened when they launched the new ME and interface, only to be removed a few days later. It seems they have met in the middle. For instance Rondon and Fred were valued at 6m and 8m before the change, then they shot up to 12m each only to come back down to 8m. Loads of players were affected like this. Last week Rondon and Fred both went up to 10m.

Also, I noticed Liam Grimshaw went from £400k to £1.2m just because he turned 21.

FML, does nothing make sense in this game?

 

[RedSky]

balls forgot to change my team.

 

[Damien]

Beat Norwich away 3:0. Almost at the 40 point mark...

 

[The Stain]

3-1 win vs WH. City dropped points.

 

[RedSky]

Beat Chelsea... got 3 injuries though. THREE.

On the bright side you don't have to play in the cup anymore so injuries won't be as bad on your squad sorry

 

[CM]

Survival could be a tough ask for my team now, a bit of a gap between me and Newcastle. Delph also got injured and will be out for most of the remaining games

Damiao now at Real Betis. They play at home to Valencia at the weekend. Was hoping for Musonda to make an appearance but unlikely now.

Surprised the Chinese didn't go for him, they are really fecking up the game

So am I. Was just looking on Betis' twitter feed when I came across the news.

Even more surprised that he hadn't played outside of Brazil before now but looking at his stats as he's got older his scoring record has worsened.

So the papers went through then.. Saw it some days ago that he was waiting for some board to decide if he could help them in their season or something like that.. There's a decent article on him. On how he was close to Spurs then that fell through. Let me see.. http://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnatio...ansfer-target-what-happened-to-leandro-damiao

 

[Damien]

Leandro simply quipped "Life is to be lived like one eats bread. You ingest and you excrete. If you are lucky, you eat again."

But how about football?

"The same now. Always the same."

Damn.

 

[Damien]

And yeah, was looking on Damiao's wiki page and it said the move to Betis fell through a few days ago but it has definitely happened now (free agent).

 

[The Stain]

Aye, mega depressed. Hope he succeeds at Betis.

 

[Varun]

Motherfecking game.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Reign of Stokealona begins.

 

[The Stain]

Herrera has 50 squad cap. He currently has 51 players and is bidding on at least 2 right now.
