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!!  ;D you know it's true Alex. At least you dabble

Haha. Pretty accurate. I'm always up for a deal though, even if I might be difficult to deal with sometimes. I'm looking forward to taking over from you. I have no idea who you got in your squad, but judging from your Barca/Flamengo teams it should be exciting :)

They're not bad. Took them on in div 4 with a view to only playing a young team and that philosophy is still in place and i'd expect you to continue that mantra!! Eldest player is 24.

                                  Rico

   Tolisso        Lindelof         Umtiti           Guerreiro
(Semedo)       (Sule)          (Rugani)       (DeSciglio)

         Goretzka         Kovacic        Lemar
        (A.Gomes)     (Bakayoko)     (Can)

          Morata            Icardi         Ousmane Dembele
         (Meyer)          (Alcacer)       (Berardi)

Bunch of other good youngsters. Still making deals even after i agreed to let you have them, and will possibly continue too! Bernadeschi had concerns so he was moved on for Guerreiro (needed a left back and Bernardeschi's concerns were rising). Carrasco had shite stats so moved him on for Kingsley Coman and Dolberg. And that donkey Umtiti ;D will be getting moved on for Rabiot and Tah

Obama aside that's a great team you're leaving there, incredible young talent throughtout. I've gotta ask though.....where did you keep finding all that cash??! It's only recently after selling a load of risers that Santos' balance is starting to look better, and even then it's sell to buy.

:D was happy enough with the Guerreiro deal even if i over reached. Needed a left back and knew i was losing a lb option with Umtiti going out, and with the young player philosophy, the pickings are slim. So happy enough. I suspect i coulda squeezed more outta you for Carrasco!

Could be better. I swapped Mbappe and Bailly out for Andre Gomes when in div 3.... ::) :D

Yeah we both started out in div 4 didn't we. Just buying low ratings and selling when they rise i suppose. Higher attendance maybe? and it would help i won div 2 and 3 pot wise. We were broke during last season and now we're back up to over 100 mil!! ;D

I'm pretty sure the traditional big sides just generate more cash. At least that tallies up with Santos and West Ham being out of pocket most of the time.

That looks like a cracking team! Possibly even better than the Bayern squad I inherited, at least on potential. Deal away. Some of those trades you've made are alright ;)

And I'll definitely will be continuing your philosophy of building through youth. I think that squad kind of tells you how to manage it. Will be a small challenge getting adjusted to the concerns and tighter finances in this world though.

I swapped Mbappe and Bailly out for Andre Gomes when in div 3.... ::)

Ouch! That is even more painful than my Mbappe trade. Guess having Ousmane makes up for it though.

Holy moly that's bad ;D But yeah I let Mbappe go too easily in your world around the same time. One of those where you know he's a cracking talent but didn't think he'd have a decent rating for a few years yet.

Yeah I rate Carrasco extremely highly. Liam knows, thrown in loads of bids for him with PSV but never landed him. Probably should've kept Guerreiro but I wanted to make my attack sexier and having Hector at LB means it's not a massive loss. Good deal for both teams I reckon, how good will depend on how Berna settles at Juve & whether Milik can regain his pre-injury form.

100m! Don't think Santos have ever been above 30m ;D Great challenge in its own way though, having to sign the likes of Mark Noble to make up the numbers. Makes you target players you wouldn't even think of signing in other worlds.

;D Having Gomes helped me win div 2 and 3 though. There were a few players in those leagues too so Gomes was needed. Mbappe wouldn't have won me shite. No regrets!!

Makes sense, might get more cash from merchandise and whatnot. Stadium size definitely plays a massive role as well, Santos' record attendance is only 38k. West Ham at 60k isn't huge either.

Atletico's is 68,000 but their record is 59,000. 20000 diff between the two is a lot of cheddar. Santos has actually grown over 20 grand in attendance. It's originally 16000. Should grow more over time

Welcome mate, you've inherited a cracking squad and I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

We would've have had some fun if I was still at Santos. Give me a couple months to get this AEK project up and running and I'll be knocking on your door with offers :D Pleasantly surprised by some of the young talent I've been able to pick up already.

Not like anyone pays much attention to this world any more, but I've only just realised West Ham secured the title as of last weekend! From what I remember we led the table since very early into the season, with Gala and Real pushing us all the way.



Messi has been the absolute star of the show with his best season ever in this gameworld. So far his stats look like this -





That man of the match column is especially insane. He's also not missed a game this season. Perhaps in part because I've been very careful to sub him off when in the lead or maybe I just got lucky. Anyway, Messi is God. Come at me with some offers if you dare. On that note, everyone is up for grabs at WH in the off season. Let's talk deals.

Final special mention to Xabi, who must be playing out one of his last season's in any gameworld after retiring as this one just started. He'll definitely be missed.

I used this tactic when I first joined LM's world and Alex was at Juve. I'd already noticed him bidding almost straight after I bid on anyone. So I bid on about 8 of our shared shortlist as a distraction, let him swoop in and then plucked the ones I wanted afterwards  ;D

Wouldn't it be less risky to sign them before someone else bids?! I'm mostly going to avoid bidding wars until I've built up some financial muscle, unless it's a player I really want. But a bigger team with bags of cash could easily have swooped in!

Those players are usually ones I'm not too fussed about if I miss out on, but am tempted to take a punt on if somebody else bids. The ones I really want I try to bid on before others do.

That right there is what's wrong with the shortlist system.
