Sorry babe, please don't quit xxx

I don't even know what team you are y ' know.

Someone shit I reckon.

[Lawnmowerman]

I know your game. Best way to increase your chances of a result is as a new manager. Happens all the time. New managers off to fliers. Sneaky shite

First match in 18 games to have a draw between us. You cheated your way to that draw you disgrace!!

After tonights game, Barca have won 14 and drawn one of the last 18 Clasico meetings

State of that City side tonight!

good god, is this what it's come to for you? Snatching a draw at home in the dying minutes gets your kicks?! The mighty Real.

missed a chance to close the gap!

[Card Cheat]

Didn't realise the first cup final is on Tues. Didn't rest any players, and PippyCootsy suspended. Might be a car crash.

You have Keseys cheating to thank for that Barca didn't open up a further gap!

[KingLuis10]

Bit of a late season renaissance for PSV, unbeaten in 4 now including our first two wins of the season  Too little too late unfortunately, but nice to see the team in better shape after the car crash of a season we've had.

Looking forward to the end of season rating reviews as well, hope they're kind to us. Got a few players coming into form (in real life) at just the right time....Keita with 5 goals in his last two games for Lazio, and Ricardo Pereira destroying PSG last night. Hope the guys in charge of the ratings were watching We've built up a nice set of players in that 21-25 age range, if they can keep improving our average rating should shoot up fairly quickly and we'll be in with a good chance of being a lot more competitive when we're back in Div. 1!

Who's up for a 35 squad cap

Who's up for a 35 squad cap 

I guess most people would be very reluctant.

But it would increase the transfer activity.

I'm joking 

Though it would help some of the newbie teams.

There seemed to be more activity when there was a larger cap or none at all.

[Betty Blue]

I miss gambling on random players the most. But once you've hit the cap it becomes very hard to do that.

[Lawnmowerman]

I'd rather put the cap back up before dropping it

[Klippity Klopp]

Putting the cap up would just be shitting on the new managers or the teams with the weaker sides.

Their one ray of hope is making gambles and taking risks, as they can unlike the more established sides.

An increase to the cap would just make that harder for them and more stock piling by the big boys.

I'd be against that!

[Card Cheat]

I think the quiet period is just due to the flurry of activity we had. I'm at a stage where I could keep dealing (I backed out of a massive deal with KL the other week) but I'm happy with my squad, and don't want to let go of players I've signed at least until I see what kind of update they get (Bruma today 88! Boof!) otherwise I'm just moving players around for the sake of it. I imagine there'll be another flurry soon enough, and the cap means there'll always be players out there in the externals.

Exactly and if a smaller club picks up a few gems they can trade them for higher rated players. Gives everyone a chance.

You've got to be patient ☺

A few of us have been playing this for almost  5 years now, just let that sink in.....it takes time to establish sides.

We seem to be agreeing - keep it as it is.

How am I not being patient? 

[RK7]

If the cap was smaller then it results in smaller clubs having less players of interest to trade.

[Klippity Klopp]

I think it would just mean the big side just stock piling more youngsters and giving new managers less hope.

So I ask again, as you ignored it.  How am I not being patient?

[Betty Blue]

Wish I'd never joked about the cap now.

[Klippity Klopp]

Nah it's all shits and giggles. 

Nice to see what people think on these issues and always strive to improve the world with having such debates.

I didn't ignore it, just thought it was obvious....you quit Juve because it was too tough.

[Klippity Klopp]

I didn't ignore it, just thought it was obvious....you quit Juve because it was too tough.

Do you really think I quit a team with far higher rated players to one which had far lower rated players, because I lack patience or thought it was too tough? 

I have taken on a long term challenge at Zenit, hence signing very young players and doing a tougher job.   So you make no sense.

I have not moaned about it taking time.  You keep churning this out and you are wrong again.  I am enjoying the challenge.

I am saying the potential increase of squad cap IMO is bad for the world.  It has nothing to do with patience and I clearly don't lack it given what I am doing.

It wasn't obvious, it was wrong though!

Jesus Christ what have i done with me life? Really do despise meself at times. Was actually contemplating quitting Barca if we do the treble, starting in a 2nd div team and starting over again, but the thought of spending another 5 years of my life building another team makes me puke.

[Lawnmowerman]

Top 7 teams of div 1 - Cap at 45

Bottom 7 teams of div 1 - 50 cap

Div 2 teams - 55 cap

[Klippity Klopp]

Top 7 teams of div 1 - Cap at 45

Bottom 7 teams of div 1 - 50 cap

Div 2 teams - 55 cap

Let say we did that.

The top seven will have 35 extra players.  The bottom 7 get 70 extra.

Then the div two can potentially have an extra 15 players per squad each.

Any new manager would have no hope at all.

But I don't think people want new managers or to give them a chance, so I can see most agreeing with it.

I think it's an awful idea and simply greed from the top clubs.

I know what you mean, it's taken a lot of time and its tough to let go now.

[Klippity Klopp]

Keep it at 40 please. 

If people want to take risks, sell some of your squad and make them.

You can have 20 established players, you can 20 risks.  It is fine how it is and gives the lower teams some hope.

The cap in the other league was 50. That didn't prove to be a problem for the smaller clubs

That's partly because half the managers in that league are inactive and don't pay attention to youth players.
