I thought everyone's absolute max bid on a player/youth are the same?

Been discussed not to long ago.... they add a player and adjust his value 24/36hrs later...so depending on when you bid the max value can be diff... a cunning way to make people log in more?

Old man Pirlo is really enjoying his retirement gig at Malaga as he gets back to back man of the match awards.
On the other side of the coin my keeper keeps up his record of conceding to every second shot on target he faces but luckily Genoa's man between the sticks was even more generous as we eek out a 3-2 victory with goals from Pirlo, Pedro, and the much maligned Harry Kane

The game is just one big troll.

Though in saying that I have won the league 3 times and relegated once. I could easily say the game has favoured me more times than gone against me. I'd rather more logic too it. Rock bottom after 4 games with one of the top 4 squads in the GW.

And yet when I said this a month ago I was a paranoid madman!

Seriously though, you can do it, you just have to believe in yourself.....said nobody ever!

I'll have my grandmother say a mass for you

Now swap Messi for Quincy Promes and all your problems will be over

The players value was adjusted by SM before the initial bids were accepted. I rebid at the new maximum value.

He's gonna need 100,000 Facebook likes ... nothing else is going to save him

Rather than fecking around with the GUIs (and loosing features ... green shield to go back to all the gameworlds is gone from the laptop version, chat has dissapeared from mobile) ... they should look to improve the game itself...

1) that game engine!
2) when I shortlist a player, I expect a notification when he comes off transfer ban, when his concern level rises/drops ...
3) bring back the (my) overall trophy cabinet ..
4) sort out a consistent(fair) way of dispatching player to club when there are multi bids of equal value on players
5) stop the 5clicks before I can get to the list of my gameworlds
6) ...

Fabianski has learned from Oblak ... keep diving to one side ... a ball will go there one time ... it will honest!

Ditto.

Estudiantes de LP beat Palmeiras 1 - 0 in their Division 3 fixture.
Balotelli was on the scoresheet for his side.

Keeping up our 100% record after four games. Unfortunately, the next game is the first against a managed team.

I'm afraid it's the soccer manager way mate. Improve by taking features away.

Pirlo with a minus 2 today.

JamboMac

Every Belgian player -10, bloody Wales,fu(;)€g Wales.

Wilberto

Ashley Williams. +5. Nailed on.

Its a pity RLManagers dont have ratings here.

Wilmots has wasted the best generation of players Belgium have ever had.

He is tactically clueless. Carrasco off for Fellaini?! Lukaku doesnt do enough when up front for Belgium.

He left Lombaerts home. One suspension and an injury later and you are relying on denayer and jordan lukaku?!

I expect him to follow other coaches out of a job after this tournament.

Lost to Wales AND Bale practically took the night off....


Harsh one!

I think Coleman deserves a lot of credit though, bar the last fifteen minutes against England he hasn't put a foot wrong tactically

They're doing a Leicester. For Wales, it's far more about the team pulling together to be more than the sum of all it's parts.


Whereas Belgium are almost the opposite, aided of course by a tactically inept manager.

Any manager who gets dealt such a blow as to lose his two centre halves before the tournament, and then proceeds to ignore this ready made centre back pairing instead for me is just clearly not up to it.

I can see why he brought Fellaini on - to keep a hold on Ashley Williams at set pieces as he was a massive danger and it seemed like nobody had a handle on him. Why he sacrificed Carrasco I'll never know though!

There is literally NO occasion to bring Fellaini on with Dembele on the bench.

And needed a goal taking Lukaku (misfiring yes but still) off for Bats? Surely both if them in the box would cause havoc

With benteke, origi and bats on the bench he insisted on playing with 1 FC.... ridic!

Also, he could have replaced denayer with kabasele rather than taking off carrasco.

He was the same against Italy and Sweden... doesnt know what to change to improve things

It still cracks me up that Fellaini has a football career, let alone an international one. A players who's strongest attribute is elbows. I haven't played FIFA since 1995 but is he 10/10 for elbows on there? The massive ****house.
