Rude.

 

[infamous7]

My first team lost to Bournemouth's cup team. fecking game.

That's me screwed for Thursday. Sigh.

I got a jammy result today vs blackburn
SM gods will reverse this karma Thursday since they hate Fulham

 

[RedSky]

F.Paulinho with a +7 to 82, better than predicted. They seem to be being generous with the Brazil ratings. Highest rated 17 year old in the game.

 

[green_smiley]

Brazil review is always good as far as I remembered

 

[RedSky]

Don't remember as many 7/8/9's though. Hopefully Maycon and Cerquiera get similar treatment.

 

[The Stain]

Damn christy got Paqueta who got a +6 today.

Fed up of this stupid game not saving my tactics. For some reason Kimmich played the second half up top according to the 2D match engine. 0:0 draw v Chelsea and now back in the relegation zone as Liverpool LOST to Plymouth. Unbeaten streak continues.

No chance, you've been beating me comfortably lately.

 

[Damien]

Birmingham transfers left to go through (no bid made).

1. Leeds United - Pellegrini (1.3x FV) £780k
   
2. Middlesbrough - Burnic (1.3x FV) £1.3M
   
3. Derby County - van Bergen (1.5x FV) £1.5M
   
4. Darlington 1883 - Skhiri (2x FV) £10M/max bid if it won't let you bid that much
   
5. Manchester United - Rigo (2x FV) £800k/max bid if it won't let me bid that much

@langster bid needs to be £1.5M

I need a day or two to raise funds

[Damien]

So teams that have played Birmingham and MK Dons so far:

Birmingham only
(08) Arsenal
(09) Norwich City
(16) Plymouth Argyle
(04) Tottenham Hotspur

MK Dons only
(07) Darlington 1883
(17) Everton
(11) Liverpool (drew)
(15) Manchester City

Both (seems to be a trend with the teams here)
(06) Aston Villa
(05) Barnsley
(02) Newcastle United
(01) Nottingham Forest
(12) Reading (lost vs Birmingham)
(03) Southend United

Yet to play either
(14) Bournemouth
(10) Chelsea
(18) Manchester United
(13) Sunderland

 

[green_smiley]

Fully expecting every managed team to beat MKD and Birmingham now

 

[Damien]

So, @green_smiley has best chance of being top of the league come the halfway point. If @CrackersJr or @The Taurean are then they'll have a good chance of the title. @Big-Red is the only one in the top 6 with a game against one of the bottom two so he has three "free" points already, and with games against all three of the teams above him (two at home) he can control his destiny.

 

[CrackersJr]

So Declan Rice is 77 rated 18 year old CB valued at 700k even after appearing in 9 Prem games so far (+300 mins), yet Reece Oxford last season (entire season not only half way) played 7 games (200-250 minutes) and has 180 minutes in the bundesliga, yet despite being rated the same is valued at 1.8 mil...

How do they chose to value players like that so differently? Is one under valued or the other over valued?

 

[Damien]

Here's a gif that sums up my season so far and why my players can't score


Needed to win tonight to stand any chance of survival and drew, so Division 2 is my destiny.

 

[Dans]

Amazing defending.

 

[Damien]

0:0 draw vs my bogey team Bournemouth (got just 6 points from a possible 15 against them)

De Gea (94)

Kimmich (91) Ramos (95) Boateng (94) Roberto (91)↓
Isco (93) Pogba (93)↓
Goretzka (91)↓ Kroos (95) Bale (95)

​

Subs: Perin (89), Monreal (90), Alaba (93)↑, Dele (91), Eriksen (92)↑, Bernardo (91)↑, Sterling (91)
Did not travel: Matip (90), Brandt (90), Martial (90), Mercado (89)

What are we looking at? Head to head record?

 

[Damien]

What are we looking at? Head to head record?

Fixtures going into the halfway point. You had one of the toughest on paper (7 of the 8 teams in the top 10).

 

[The Taurean]

Ah team positions.

 

[The Taurean]

Fixtures going into the halfway point. You had one of the toughest on paper (7 of the 8 teams in the top 10).

Just figured. Spurs have an excellent record against Forest.

 

[Damien]

Bottom 7 goes from:

14. Bournemouth (12/-2)
15. Manchester City (11/-1)
16. Plymouth (11/-3)
17. Everton (10/-1)
18: Manchester United (7/-8)
19: MK Dons (4/-34)
20: Birmingham City (3/-38)

to:

14. Bournemouth (13/-2)
15. Reading (13/-4)
16. Sunderland (13/-8)
17. Plymouth (11/-6)
18. Manchester United (8/-8)
19. MK Dons (4/-38)
20. Birmingham City (3/-42)

With City beating Spurs and Everton beating Plymouth that round of fixtures couldn't have gone much worse for me. Now, if Plymouth end up beating City and I draw or lose v Darlington, my negligible chances of survival become 0.

 

[Damien]

Remember the playing concern review is tomorrow. Only player of mine that should get a concern is Perin and he'll be sold once his transfer ban expires.

Hyped/rated as a special talent by SM does that.

Shouldn't really worry about me or City. We aint going down. You should have beaten B'mouth, there's no way Bale misses open goal from 3 metres in da real world, this shit's rigged. Still early in the season so..

B'mouth, Plymouth and Reading will fight it out for survival i reckon.

Expecting Bentancur to have his concern dropped, and wages increase of 146,085
