3-0 away to the reigning champions, I'll take that

GT_TDI_150

Spartak Moskva beat Everton 2 - 0 in their Division 2 fixture.
Caballero had an impressive game and was voted Man of the Match.
Bungert and Dempsey were amongst the goalscorers.

Maybe we don't need all these players after all :eek:

doc holliday

Happy days. Boca 2-1 schalke, was expecting a rude awakening in my first div 2 match, but thanks to a motm from vermeer and a goal from my first 89 rated striker(woohoo) dos santos, we sneak the win, just 37 points to go now

eh i dunno

0-0 at home to Newcastle.

Wilberto

Estudiantes de LP beat Galatasaray SK 1 - 0 in their Division 3 fixture.
Balotelli had an impressive game and was voted Man of the Match.
El Ghazi was on the scoresheet for his side.

Start as you mean to go on and all that! Nice to see 86 rated El Ghazi on the scoresheet. I like him! :pac:

More than he ever did for me

Midlife Crashes

D1 off to a decent start

ACF Fiorentina beat Liverpool 3 - 2 in their Division 1 fixture.
Benteke, Mertens and Holtby were amongst the goalscorers.

only 37 points left..

GLaDOS

Lost 2 0 to Barca. Minus 2 players from last years starting 11 that I sold for cash so was going to be a tough opener.

Comic Book Guy

3 All draw away to Ajax.

Would have taken a point before ko but having played most of the game against 10 men and conceding an 88th minute equaliser it feels like a right kick in the stones!
Hopefully I will be unveiling a new signing before our first home game of the season but won't be holding my breath.....

Wilberto

I'm genuinely intrigued now as to which of 12 bids that I've competition that I might actually succeed in getting. Probably none because the game hates me when it comes to these matters!


If I got one of the two strikers I've bid on (Bakambu & Dost) I'll be ecstatic. If not, then if I get one or two too many defenders then at least I might be able to swap with someone who got one or two to many strikers. That's the plan anyway!

TheGunns

My guess/hope is that a lot of players will be available if people get the players they want so there'll be a knock on benefit to everyone

irishgoldberg

Phew! Chelsea start life in div 2 with a 3-1 home win against Sevilla. Helped by the fact they went down to 10 men before half time.

PerrinV2

Got no1...

GT_TDI_150

Aaaaand FC Porto have signed 0 targets.

KERSPLAT!

Got Tadic, not so bad

TheGunns

SINKGRAVEN, COQUELIN, BROOKS, BRUNO all done. Not a bad initial haul but back in for Round 2

ctrl-alt-delete

Disappointing return at Genoa too. I got a higher rated GK than I had but lost out on what I really needed.

Lost out to Dortmund on who I really wanted.

Would love to know how they work it out.

richieffff

Yes, finally got a RB in mariano and a top cm in soriano, hmm wonder if there are any more -ianos to sign. Still in need of a cb

ctrl-alt-delete

With getting a GK, if any lower division team wants Julio Cesar 36 year old 89 rated GK fire in a bid.

GT_TDI_150

Wonder how SM work this all out ...

Napoli and I have had similar squads / first teams for a long time ... he wins 3 of the bids on players ... I didnt win one.

Lazio with Neymar hazard ... win the bidding on Kokorin ...

Liverpool barely active in the market manage to win one.

Bayern managed to get tadic

Not bitter, just curious ... would be nice to understand the logic (might help move us up the ladder) or maybe none of these feckers want to play for FCP


BUT ... Well done to all those that managed to get a player/ players ...

Now who has spare capacity and is willing to sell ... PM me!

modo85

Got luuk De jong,hoedt,Velazquez and mayoral.

also got Brooks, ziyech and coquelin but unfortunately I didn't have the funds

That's cruzeiro finished, best of luck everyone else

Comic Book Guy

Great night for Napoli, Lazio, Dortmund,Ajax, Cruzeiro, Estudiantes!

Was starting to get very worried scrolling thru the newsfeed to see various targets had decided sunny Spain wasn't for them but managed to land a couple of midfielders.
Not one for the future but couldn't let a bid of 3m on one my favourites Andrea Pirlo pass.
Wasn't in my top 5 wish list but happy to have won the lottery on Roberto Pereyra.
Still in for 4 youths in this round but won't get greedy seeing as some lads seem to have missed out entirely.

GLaDOS

Jaysis, nothing from 15 odd contested transfers, thats brutal

You can say that again!!! Obviously a wedding gift from SM!

Oh and Korkorin! Sweet!!!!

eh i dunno

Got my top target in dier and got Zaha too. That's all I had cash for.

Colemania

Got Inan and Natcho unopposed so now I have 5 89+ centre mids..... Wasn't planning on that so i'll be selling someone soon albeit the 3 I currently had are my best 3 so it'll be one of the new guys that'll be going once their transfer ban is up!

Only player I got in a bidding war was Loftus Cheek. Lost out on a few others that I max bid on like Dier (well done Villa)

Thought I was a smart arse by bidding on other players of teams whereby most teams had ongoing deals so they couldn't bid again but low and behold I get up this morning and there's bids on those players, who by the way aren't anything special but can't compete with all these max bidders :P

If anyone has full backs or a keeper 89+ for sale now, let me know!
