Balde is up for grabs still. Vecino too if he goes up another notch on his concerns.

West Ham lose .

Fucked over by the ref. Messi sent off for the first time in 12 SM seasons! Forgot to change my tactics as well. Good win for Atletico nonetheless. Good to see them doing well. Title race not quite over yet....

Pm me with who you want. Remember though Costa's age. Vecino may go and Balde is a deffo.

now we are on the subject though, shall we lower it from 50? refresh this GW a bit ?

What was the final decision on this? We're coming up to the end of the season now, so it's the perfect time to implement a new cap. I'd be up for 45.

Yeah, 50 is crazy high really. I could just about manage 40, but I fear it might cut down on trading.

Probably beginning of the next one makes sense, as some managers may have TBed players to sell. I'm under now anyway.

Sorry, I misread. I meant beginning of the new season - as in a couple of weeks. The one after that is 3 months away, which is bloody ages.

Keep concerns on IMO. Even though it annoys me, I think it helps generate more transfers.

I don’t think you can reply directly to gameworld announcements. Who are you still waiting on answers from? I imagine a few managers might not be on RAWK as well, so they might not understand what’s going on. Like that new Gala manager who cock blocked my Manolas bid ;D

This world is on the wane sadly. Not sure how much life is left in it.

I'm happy to go with whatever the majority decides anyway.

I quite enjoy this world and the different challenges it brings, anyone who wants to start from the bottom Division and build something has a realistic chance of doing so, not sure that can be said about the other 2 worlds.

That's true, but that's also a symptom of the world losing competitiveness. The reason it's not possible in other worlds is because those ones are very active!

I'm happy to stick around anyway. I enjoy this world for what it is.

I’ve been enjoying this world since switching over to AEK as well. Player concerns help massively, I’ve been able to bring in Draxler, Brandt & De Vrij in deals that probably wouldn’t have happened without them. Whereas in other worlds you have teams with 92+ rated players rotting on the bench, never getting a game.

The world's need managers who actively try and trade, there are still some that don't participate in that, they play the game for different reasons I suppose.
