Thanks for views guys:)

What you think of alonso hes at 95 now how long till a drop do ye think?

Not for a season or three I'd say. So six seasons in SM time.

Well just me on the injury thing then lol.
I was flicking through division 4 and saw there was only 3 injuries in the whole divsion hence my initial comment.
For reference the other divisions were 9/div 3,13/div 2,7/div 1.

Dunno about Ibra but I think Yaya+1 to 95 and Ribery to stay put for a while

surely Yaya will get 95. Best Midfielder in the premier league

Thanks again lads I think ill keep alonso so I was planning to exchange him for a younger player or 2 but ill hold onto him.

Ya while injuries are a nuisance some more realism through the season would be nice to shake things up

Lads I've come across a few young 75ish rated players that have developed concerns about 'lack of first team opportunities'

Is this a new thing? I don't recall seeing this concern before? If it is a new feature its pretty bad news for those of us building for the future.......

I've seen it in a few GWs now ... its not even about people with huge squads, you could have 35players and some plonker rated in 70s looking for a run in the first team ... odd enough change is infact it is a change

How old are they?? I know I've seen a few 22/23/24 year old players with similar ratings develop concerns which is understandable. If they're only 17/18 though, it's a bit ridiculous.

Might be that there adding youth teams soon.

Yeah, I read something about that in the single player section. Are they thinking about bringing it into the online gameworlds too??

Have you just seen it recently is it? It is younger players, seen around 20 year olds, if they are that young developing concerns it kills the 'building for the future' idea for most of us

Athletic manager Hercule Poirot appeared before the press to give a short statement regarding the deal, with tears in his eyes he said:

"My love for Amyric Laporte shall endure for as long my heart is beating, but he wanted first team football - and while I loved him, I could not provide it for him. I remember hand feeding him when he was only a wee child and I hope that he fullfills the potential we all know he has.

But with a possible move to Division 2 we had to make sacrifices and bring in someone of Andrea's experience and talent in defence - quite frankly it still surprises me that Navarro and Kaboul can find their way onto the pitch.

To end I would like to say to Tupac (at this point he looked right into the camera) if you hurt one hair on his little Basque head then I will come at you with all I've got, I will send Lucas Biglia to headbutt you in the face and I will kidnapp your beloved Miralem Pjanic and force him to play charity matches against One Direction and Take That for the rest his days"

M. Poirot then screamed defiance before dropping his trousers and demanding that everyone left him to grieve in peace.

9.3 million was a lot to pay for 34 year old Cesar Navas but it is the business-end of the season, he's better than what I've got and goes straight into my team. So long as he can keep his 89-rating for another fortnight I think it is worthwhile.

It looks like he is pretty much ever-present for Rubin Kazan so hopefully he keeps his rating for longer than that.

Anyone for a WC/SM related thread???

3rd in the league on 58 points, 2 points off of 1st and 1 point behind 2nd and my last 4 games are:

Home v Everton, 2nd on 59 points
Home v Shakhtar, 4th on 56 points.
Away v Spartak, 8th on 51 points (only 4 points away from 6th place!)
Home v Sao Paulo, 18th place and fighting for survival.


I do not have a run in that fills me with confidence, really hoping I can sneak top 2 but will be happy to just make the play off's, I'm only 5 points ahead of 7th place so nothing is guaranteed, anyone outside of the top 2 could lose two games and end up outside the playoff spots.

I looked at the fixtures the other day and most of the teams at the top have a tough run in. Four games to go and anyone in the top half could win or finish bottom half. Crazy.
