Make shift team and tactics and still bossed it.

Lyon will be back on Sunday.

Managed to get West Ham back on track after those two consecutive defeats that almost derailed our season. Gala are leading the way though. Great start for them! Higuain on fire and probably due a rise soon too.

Funny how this league has come to life again, probably the most competitive now.

3 teams up from div 2, the odd random joining now it's open

So many teams could realistically win the top division. I think also the number of divisions gives players a chance to build from the bottom with time on their side.

I felt a bit bad about that win! But it seemed like you played quite a few youngsters, so not sure how reflective that match was of both our teams. My advice is to stick with one formation and just let it be for awhile. It might be my imagination, but I find chopping and changing doesn't help much, and it's better to keep a settled team/formation.

I see Lyon are doing their cha , cha again.

Too much Beaujalais.

Big win in the top of the table clash for WH against Galatasaray. Probably jinxing myself here, but we're on a ridiculous 9 game winning streak since those consecutive losses to Chelsea and Lyon. It won't last forever, but I'm enjoying it for now

Top little rise for Sandro there.

Looks like West Ham's this year .

He's built together a good squad there but why does he have two 90 + keepers ?

RK7 · « **Reply #3814 on:** June 25, 2017, 10:48:04 pm »

Quite surprised by your offer Kesey, it's decent. I'm probably going to hold onto Roberto for now but I'll give it some thought.

Rui is giving Neuer a chance to settle in, especially going straight into a title race!

Getting slotted into the shade by Icardi, who you also let go of

Both topping the scoring charts....

You still haven't responded to my Kovacic counter....
Member i offered you Icardi and Kova for Dybala, and Icardi and new Bayern stud Tolisso for him, and Icardi and 80mil Morata?! Icardi in the clouds with Messi, soaring like an eagle in the goal scoring charts. Where's Dybs?? In the bin, that's where!!

Guys, I don't think I'll be able to continue in this GW. I am leaving most of my GW in SM due to personal situations.

I am thinking about leaving on the 7th so if anyone wants the club, they can hopefully inform everyone here.

The Atletico squad is better, how dare you. Better than a lot of outfits, including your own!

Card Cheat · « **Reply #3830 on:** July 6, 2017, 10:01:44 am »

Lots of players available at Bayern.

Admittedly they were unwanted at the time, so not expecting too much interest in some, but....!..... in the real world Toprak has moved to Dortmund so is surely worth a punt, Allan is a regular at the best Napoli team since el Diego, Idrissa Gueye is the hipster Kante, Gilfi is still pure sauce and has one more big transfer left in him, Ramsey, Multi-Vit, Gonalons etc

Any could add that little bit of squad depth needed to squeeze out a few important results, seal titles, and win the hearts of audacious and difficult women.

Not looking for anything mindblowing in terms of trade, just a youngster + cash will do.

Might consider deals for Sportiello, Alario, Laxalt and Plea too.

Collusion.

Summer revamp at West Ham in the offing if we clinch the title. Looking forward to some big time wheeling and dealing.

That's been the best bit! You'll be a real loss to this world in that respect when you leave. Credit to previous manager HoinkDoink for leaving me with such a great group of young players too. Kane, Alli, Renato, Bellerin, Pogba, and Firmino all led me to bigger trades.

It's the longest running RAWK league (currently on season 23), but it's also probably the quietest. It's very hard to take over a small team in this world, as pretty much every player has been snapped up now. Pity you missed out on taking over Galatasaray (JSteve's previous team) as they would've made a great project. If another team comes up then I will let you know though. Always good to have another manager willing to trade

OK, cheers.

Well if it's a quieter world than the other two, not sure I'll bother.

Thanks though.

You made deals to get the big players in and now you're winning the league. Liam did the same in the other world. Just goes to show

Alex is taking over from me so there'll be still plenty of scope for trading in that sense. Might take him a month or two to hash out a deal but he'll get there!!

you know it's true Alex. At least you dabble
