Ok cool, I will too! And do you sell to people in DIV1 as well or just DIV 2,3 and 4?

My only Problem is.. The only players that people would want from me is my cup team So I honestly don't know who to be selling!

sold Lichtsteiner to Sunderland but someone reported it, so i sold him to Kyiv.
swapped Barzagli and Giovinco for Sanchez....yeah i'll sell to D1 clubs.

are they over 89? if so wtf are they doing playing in cups? (unless it's SMFA cups) players with that rating need to be playing 1st team football (except keepers as they don't get sent off,injured or lose 30% condition so can play every second day)

I have one 89 that plays in the cups(Not SMFA), the rest are 88 and lower!

Kind of in a lose,lose situation, nobody would buy 85rated players to strengthen their team!

Seaneh

I'll buy that 89 off ya pepper, good lad.


Even the 88's would me a massive signing for some of the clubs in d4 though, tbh.

My cup teams tend to be a mix of 85s-90s. Bale tends to be in most of my cup squads.

Last season, I reckon that cup runs gave me more money than the league. Winning the two cups probably put me up a few million. So I do have 11 players who are "cup" players but often I'll only play 6 of them and 5 of my first teamers.

i've bought worse then 85 and they are now 86 or higher and are in my cup team or bench, if they get to 88/89 i sell a starter and play them. like what i'm going now.....

I'll give you an 88 to replace him, don't worry, you won't be left wanting.

I improve my first team and you still have decent backup.

Win win.

eh i dunno

Eh i dunno was unable to prevent a Aston Villa defeat to Schalke.
Aston Villa slumped to a 2 - 0 defeat to Schalke in their Division 2 fixture.

No shock when i only have one player 90 or above and Schalke have 6

Seaneh

Again, not happy with this result.

Malaga move 2 ahead of me and Panathanikos are only 3 behind in 3rd place.
The stats show I was on top for much of the game had less shots, I need to figure this out soon.

Competition Message

Lovely set of results at the top of D4 with Sporting and Malaga both dropping points. Beating Munich in the Cup and scoring six in the league.... Not a bad week!

Cheer up. Malaga lost so you're top, they're second and I'm three back in third.

Ha, I read the malaga result as them winning somehow!

Still, If I'd won I'd still be 5 ahead of you and I'd be 3 ahead of Malaga.

It was Celtic who dropped the points, I should have won but Forster wasn't to good.

Pfft, I was playing keep-away with the ball in the middle park but couldn't break you down, still managed 11 corners.

more possession and only one less shot on target, seems you were restricted to long shots and counter attacks for most of the game.

One lucky free-kick and one long ball up to ADP, typical Celtic smash and grab draw against a more talented side.

JamboMac

Porto in a couple of games the most highly rated teams in the league gonna be a tough one, roll on chivas this Sunday gonna have to get a win here with the top being so tight.

irishgoldberg

wolfsberg 1-1 inter, not too bad a result seeing as I had too play mainly 2nd team due to the fact I had forgotten about the cup match with Lazio, still in bottom 3 but have more confidence inter will rise ( slowly ) up the league

Al Capwned

You can have your friendly victory Estudiantes!
The three points for tonights league game keep me in second spot.

Also, they're packing them in - supporters must be sitting on the roof, I've a capacity of 19,320, and an average attendance of 22,520.

I don't play long ball all your goals where long balls and all your players left with a 6 rating except for 3 possession isn't much use with no outcome you got lucky and the reliance on matri will be your downfall.

KERSPLAT!

Got a good hiding off Zenit 1-4, though I had more shots and shots on target. Fair play though. Still struggling after being promoted and I'm well and truely in a fight for survival!
