Good to see that it continues. I'm hoping that others will participate also.

Starting my season at Willem II now.

I think I'll have a go too haven't played fm in a while so could be good.

By the way what happened to the new and improved 20/20 challenge??

It is the same antfm08 but i've taken over as paul hartman is banned.

Also i'm open to suggestions for any challenges. Just PM or email them to me.

I will have a go with challenge 9 that i guess will come out midnight this saturday... too late to start the willem challenge with only 4 days left.... is that okay to join in?

... and thank you ssestig for pointing me in this direction... seen the previous challenges and they all looked good!!!

andy you are welcome to join. it's not too late to start the willem ll challenge i'm not too far into it and i'm not in from 2.30pm until about midnight as i'm at anfield tonight so no chance to play tonight but i should be able to complete it. the previous challenges were done by paul hartman so any credit must go to him for them.

why did paul get banned?

best not to ask mate

is it allowed to sign players with 6 months installments?

why did paul get banned? not sure

is it allowed to sign players with 6 months installments? yes as all the money is paid within the season.

how is everyone doing?

Halfway through the season and lying 7th. Among the 7 wins are one against Ajax (1-0 home) and one against PSV (2-1 away). Top 3 seems unlikely since I'm 12 points behind Ajax in 3rd spot.

sounds good cletus. wish i was doing that well. i'm 13th approx. halfway through the season.

I have reached the European Places Playoff. I assume you were not aware of this play-off, since there are no points for doing well in this part of the dutch league?

no i wasn't aware of the play-off. i'm just looking at scoring points for finishing positions in the league and cups.

i finished 13th in the league so therefore no play-off and 4 points added to my name. the cups were a nightmare so no cup points. remember everyone that your season has to be in by midnight tomorrow to avoid the 3 point deduction.

how did you do in the cups cletus?

how did you do in the cups cletus?

Well, not good. That's why I didn't post anything about it. Are there other cups than the Dutch Cup? Lost in the 2nd Round...

hey Sesstig was wondering if i dould join in.

that's fine terras. you can either start with the willem ll today or wait for me to give the next challenge out tonight.

cletus - no just the dutch cup.

Ill wait for the challenge tonight then mate.

i had an ok season in the league but bad in the cup
