The EPL - Football's Answer To The IPL (sign up)

[tomsmith1989]

haha.

Glad I only spent £14.5m. Avergae of £4.8m per player. Means I have £7.13 per player to spend iirc. Nice one.

[Ridleys]

Have you seen him on the game?

[Ridleys]

I've got Van der Sar as well.

[fattyg]

fattyg will be running short of money if he keeps spending like that

Lol i've just realised, think i'm going to have to start spending a bit more wisely.

[el sid]

Robert, I've PMed WW with my list
*Hoping I get all three*

[Robert_296]

Want to fill in the first form if there is anything you want to change?

[SCIAG]

Robert, I'll be away over Christmas, so can I bid for my centre backs now? I don't want to miss out.

[Robert_296]

Well I'm away over Christmas aswell so I was thinking of finishing off the goalkeepers and then posting the defenders while I am away until the new year Can still send you them if you are away then.

[SCIAG]

Nope, I should be back by then. Thanks though.

[corinthiano]

Pretty hppy with m ones, ReneAdler is absolutely amazing (if he is as goodon FM as IRL), Marcos a good veteran to cover and Felipe is an ex-Corinthians player

[Carwyn]

Will this DB be released so we can play? And when?

By the way, pick things up OrientMartin, Gordon and Heart? Atleast we'll have money to spend on the rest though.

[PluckaDuck]

Very pleased with Lobont and Howard, Hopefully I can secure a 3rd keeper on the cheap. KUTGW Robert (and WW)

[Spleen!]

Sent my next bids off, hoping I'll actually have managed to sign someone this time.

[mikeytwigge]

how many are we waiting for now?

[Robert_296]

At least one (me). I'll get it done tonight.

[Walcott\'s Wonderkids]

how many are we waiting for now?

2 - Robert and MeLikeFM I do believe.


Haven't constructed the table yet, will have a go at it tomorrow.

[Robert_296]

MeLikeFM hasn't been online since 2AM on the 21st :/ Sent him a PM saying he needs to send his goalkeeper bids in soon

[Walcott\'s Wonderkids]

We are past the deadline for submitting players (only MeLikeFM didn't respond).

I will work out the results and PM you the results Robert.

Defenders will come in a minute. Also jack, can you post your details for your team and manager. Both the sheet in the first post and the one near the bottom of the first page

[roberto922]

He might be late but Jacks got two cracking goalkeepers \o/

[Walcott\'s Wonderkids]

He might be late but Jacks got two cracking goalkeepers \o/

Plus he has the slight compensation in that even though he didn't choose those 2 keepers, he is the only one left to bid for a GK, so he can bid for anyone available at the min level and get them!

[roberto922]

He could get Christian Abbiati or Diego Lopez for 4/5m, cheap as chips

[Robert_296]

Thats part of the "excitement" () of this, that you could either bid over the odds and get the best players possible in the first round or wait till the later round and buy players at a cheaper price.

Group 1:

1. Miguel 7
2. Rafinha 7
3. Anthony VandenBorre 2

Deadline is Friday 2nd Of January at 10:00PM GMT. Good luck.

[roberto922]

7 groups? I'm glad I'm not WW

[Robert_296]

aye, same for midfielders soon Gets an easy 5 strikers in a bit though

[Walcott\'s Wonderkids]

7 groups? I'm glad I'm not WW

*sigh*


Yeah the results turnaround might not be quite as quick for this round!

Good job I know how to use vlookup, should sort out a few things.

Can I suggest that people make at min 3-4 bids per group, otherwise this could take quite a few rounds!


Oh and if you don't send it in the correct format, I'm sending it right back at ya!!!

[TaylorB]

what are the groups?

[Robert_296]

Exactly the same as the goalkeepers...

[TaylorB]

oh, silly question then, my bad

[Ridleys]

Add Joe Mattock on the list or I'll quit

[Robert_296]

Was just about to but I can't be seen backing down against threats like that,

[roberto922]

Doh! I've just submitted my bids, I was going to put him and Sakho in but I couldn't find either

[Ridleys]

You would not win even if you did bid for him. I would go all out to buy him, well.. Not all out

[tomsmith1989]

Submitted I found that quite difficult. Hopefully i'll get what who I wanted.

[corinthiano]

Have submitted my bids, now lets jst pray I get the players I want

[Ridleys]

Have submitted my bids, and stuck Joe Mattock as one of my bids despite him not being on the list, Robert won't mind.

[TaylorB]

done the bids

[el sid]

Will send them bids a little later Got some work at hand
Oh and I got 3 goalkeepers Neuer, Franco and Jaaskelainen for 21.5 million

[weeeman27bob]

Cool I'll send mine in later, when I've worked out how much I want to spend.

[Walcott\'s Wonderkids]

The following players have successfully submitted their bids in the correct format so far:

* roberto922
* Pluckaduck
* mikeytwigge
* Ridleys
* TaylorB
* corinthiano

All other bids so far have been sent back for amendments.


Just a reminder, the correct format is as thus:

1. Tony Adams 8
2. Lee Dixon 5
3. Steve Bould 3


etc etc etc.


Cheers all.

[TaylorB]

ahh steve bould used to get about a thousand stickers of him for my sticker books and no one wanted to trade another player sticker for his sticker, could have had a whole draw dedicated to steve bould stickers

[MeLikeFM]

sorry i was away for christmas can i still do the sign-up with only 2 goalies
you could like take some money away from me or something

[Robert_296]

Sorry, I can't just take jack's place away now. You should have said you weren't going to be around for a week

[Robert_296]

Right, database is all up to date apart from the managers. One slight problem though, Adler wasn't removed from the list of players after the first round of bidding when corinthiano signed him. Sorry JSalter but can you pick a different goalkeeper instead.

Thats the information you asked for mate, just getting my bids sorted now!

In relation to the goalkeepers, as i'm the only one that can get another keeper. Can i just offer the value of a player and I will definitely get him?

[Walcott\'s Wonderkids]

Thats the information you asked for mate, just getting my bids sorted now!

In relation to the goalkeepers, as i'm the only one that can get another keeper. Can i just offer the value of a player and I will definitely get him?

You're effectively the only person bidding for that player, so I would imagine if you offered the value of the player you would get him.

[JB]

As your the one who is dealing with the bids, shall i just put the goalkeeper with the offer at the bottom?

[roberto922]

Couldn't he effectively offer less than the players value for him?

[weeeman27bob]

Couldn't he effectively offer less than the players value for him?

You have to bid at least the his value.

It ruined my plan of putting all the top players in one group, and then bidding £1 million for them.

[roberto922]

Fair enough, must have missed that bit

[tommyh_16]

mine's in kutgw robert and WW!

Just in case I'm needed for anything, I'm away without internet access from tomorrow until Friday.

[SCIAG]

Why are the likes of Diarra, Bodmer and Digard classed as defenders?

Additionally, would it be possible to sacrifice a striker for a defender?

(I want 3 DCs, 2 DLs, 2 DRs and 1 of Diarra/Bodmer)

I'm pretty sure they come up as defenders before midfielders on the game

eg. D/DM C MC

[JB]

Got my bids in, hoping for some better players now that i'm bidding for them!

Status on bids received for defenders


I have so far received bids from 17 / 20 people for defenders:

* roberto922
* PluckaDuck
* mikeytwigge
* Ridleys
* TaylorB

* corinthiano
* tomsmith1989

* OrientMartin
* Greasy Chip Butty

* PaulHartman71

* el sid
* JSalter
* tommyh_16

* jack.browne
* SCIAG


Therefore, I still have to receive bids from:

* Robert_296
* fattyg
* ssestig


Deadline is Friday 10pm.

[Robert_296]

Been in Plymoth I'll get my bids in to you tonight

[ssestig]

Sent. Can't wait to receive my defence.

[Walcott\'s Wonderkids]

Hello all,

Everyone bar fattyg submitted their data so I will do the assigning either later today or tomorrow.

As Robert is in Barcelona at the moment you will have the pleasure of myself revealing the results and sorting out the 2nd round of bidding, which I can 99.99% predict is going to be needed!

[mikeytwigge]

come on the 0.01%

[Robert_296]

No, don´t come on 0.01% as I haven´t given WW the midfielders.

[el sid]

He he we were always headed for the 2nd round, and maybe even 3 or 4 rounds imo. For all of the teams to select 7 players each could be a mess

[JB]

I have got a bad feeling that I have spent too much money

Cant wait to see who I have got though!

[Walcott\'s Wonderkids]

I've put all your bids into a spreadsheet at the moment.

Now just need to go down and see who has who.

[Walcott\'s Wonderkids]

Results won't be published tonight, although I am most of the way through the list.

One or two of you are going to have to go bargain basement hunting for midfielders and strikers though at this rate!!

[mikeytwigge]

please say its not me im screwed if i got all my top choice

[PluckaDuck]

Hopefully when no-one else has no money, I can make my move with Cornwall!

Any bids not in this format will be returned (probably without comments on what to do as its your 4th round of bidding now folks!)



Deadline is 7pm GMT Weds evening.


Remember your overall budget is £150m for 22 players: 3 GK, 7 defenders, 7 midfielders and 5 strikers. An average of 6.8m per player.

[weeeman27bob]

SCIAG is going to struggle by the time it gets to strikers!

[Walcott\'s Wonderkids]

SCIAG is going to struggle by the time it gets to strikers!

Yep He does have Diarra, which means he has a def / mid already though.

At least he will have a decent defence though, to stop other people's good strikers getting the goals though!

[SCIAG]

I was planning on playing Diarra in midfield, therefore I only need three midfielders and a couple of bargain basement players. I may even just get one good winger.

I wasn't expecting to win both Ferdinand and Alves...

[Spleen!]

I'm surprised I actually managed to get 6 defenders, not the best defence, but I'm staying within my strict budget. I'll get my bids sent off today hopefully

[corinthiano]

Pretty happy with how much I spent and the players I got. I have pretty much the Chelsea back line

Have sent in my second rund of bids

[tomsmith1989]

I've probably spent a bit more than I should have, but hopefully this wont hinder the quality of my midfield (to be) and attack (to be).

Thanks WW. Nice wok

[mikeytwigge]

sent in now

[roberto922]

Hmm my team is looking very Everton-esque

[PaulHartman71]

is the budget 120 or 150? If it's the former then SCIAG is screwed

[roberto922]

150 I think

[Ridleys]

150 iirc.

Got all my 7 defenders, including Mattock

[PaulHartman71]

oh ok, thanks for confirming that Ridleys

[PluckaDuck]

Outstanding, 9 players at 39 million pounds, that's an average of 4.33million per player. Set to make some big moves when it some's time to select a midfielder or a striker. KUTGW Robert and Well done WW in Robert's absence!

[SCIAG]

150 for sure.

[mikeytwigge]

150 for sure.

You have less than 5 million per player know though sciag

[SCIAG]

You have less than 5 million per player know though sciag

Simple, I'll just spend £3m (or ideally less) on several players, giving me £7/8m to spend on starting players. Sure, I'll have no depth...

[Spleen!]

I've got £7.3m per player from now on, it may soon be time for me to be a bit less conservative with my money

[weeeman27bob]

If i get all my bids accepted this time, I'll have spent 58.25 million on 9 players @ 6.47 million each.

So I've spent 29/75's of my budget on 5/11's of my squad.

[super_lampard]

Pretty pleased with the defenders i got and still have quite a lot of money to spend on midfielders and strikers

KUTGW WW and robert

[TaylorB]

very pleased with my players!

kutgw guys doing great now check this thread before any other

[Greasy Chip Butty]

Can I just ask how you make a decision when two players bid the same for a player?

For example, I noticed that Jagielka went to roberto922 for the same price as I bid - 5m.

Not a criticism as I got 7 defenders and I'm rather happy with them - busy editing the FM database to see how good my squad is looking at moment.

KUTGW and UTB - Andy

I think WW said that it was given to the person who bid first...

[Spleen!]

Sent my bids in, should be enough to get the 1 player I need.

[JB]

May have spent too much

[Walcott\'s Wonderkids]

I think WW said that it was given to the person who bid first...

Yup


Robert said (I think back on page 1), that if 2 people make the same value bid for a player, the person who gave me their bids in the correct format first will win that player (assuming also that you have given that player the same priority level for a particular group).

[Greasy Chip Butty]

Yup

Allright then, thats cool. Thought it'd be that - couldn't see it on first page but I am shattered so thats why I missed it (thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it!)
