    Happy days. Boca 2-1 schalke, was expecting a rude awakening in my first div 2 match, but thanks to a motm from vermeer and a goal from my first 89 rated striker(woohoo) dos santos, we sneak the win, just 37 points to go now ;)

    D1 off to a decent start

    ACF Fiorentina beat Liverpool 3 - 2 in their Division 1 fixture.
    Benteke, Mertens and Holtby were amongst the goalscorers.

    only 37 points left..

    Lost 2 0 to Barca. Minus 2 players from last years starting 11 that I sold for cash so was going to be a tough opener.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    3 All draw away to Ajax.

    Would have taken a point before ko but having played most of the game against 10 men and conceding an 88th minute equaliser it feels like a right kick in the stones!
    Hopefully I will be unveiling a new signing before our first home game of the season but won't be holding my breath.....


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 8,583 Mod ✭✭✭✭Wilberto


    I'm genuinely intrigued now as to which of 12 bids that I've competition that I might actually succeed in getting. Probably none because the game hates me when it comes to these matters!


    If I got one of the two strikers I've bid on (Bakambu & Dost) I'll be ecstatic. If not, then if I get one or two too many defenders then at least I might be able to swap with someone who got one or two to many strikers. That's the plan anyway!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,575 ✭✭✭TheGunns


    My guess/hope is that a lot of players will be available if people get the players they want so there'll be a knock on benefit to everyone


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 913 ✭✭✭irishgoldberg


    Phew! Chelsea start life in div 2 with a 3-1 home win against Sevilla. Helped by the fact they went down to 10 men before half time.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 6,345 Mod ✭✭✭✭PerrinV2


    Got no1...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,917 ✭✭✭✭GT_TDI_150


    Aaaaand FC Porto have signed 0 targets.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,152 ✭✭✭✭KERSPLAT!


    Got Tadic, not so bad :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,575 ✭✭✭TheGunns


    SINKGRAVEN, COQUELIN, BROOKS, BRUNO all done. Not a bad initial haul but back in for Round 2 :p

    Disappointing return at Genoa too. I got a higher rated GK than I had but lost out on what I really needed.

    Lost out to Dortmund on who I really wanted.

    Would love to know how they work it out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,757 ✭✭✭richieffff


    Yes, finally got a RB in mariano and a top cm in soriano, hmm wonder if there are any more -ianos to sign. Still in need of a cb


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 15,937 ✭✭✭✭ctrl-alt-delete


    With getting a GK, if any lower division team wants Julio Cesar 36 year old 89 rated GK fire in a bid.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,917 ✭✭✭✭GT_TDI_150


    Wonder how SM work this all out ...

    Napoli and I have had similar squads / first teams for a long time ... he wins 3 of the bids on players ... I didnt win one.

    Lazio with Neymar hazard ... win the bidding on Kokorin ...

    Liverpool barely active in the market manage to win one.

    Bayern managed to get tadic

    Not bitter, just curious ... would be nice to understand the logic (might help move us up the ladder) or maybe none of these feckers want to play for FCP :(


    BUT ... Well done to all those that managed to get a player/ players ...

    Now who has spare capacity and is willing to sell ;) ... PM me!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 349 ✭✭modo85


    Got luuk De jong,hoedt,Velazquez and mayoral.

    also got Brooks, ziyech and coquelin but unfortunately I didn't have the funds

    That's cruzeiro finished, best of luck everyone else


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,538 ✭✭✭Comic Book Guy


    Great night for Napoli, Lazio, Dortmund,Ajax, Cruzeiro, Estudiantes!

    Was starting to get very worried scrolling thru the newsfeed to see various targets had decided sunny Spain wasn't for them but managed to land a couple of midfielders.
    Not one for the future but couldn't let a bid of 3m on one my favourites Andrea Pirlo pass.
    Wasn't in my top 5 wish list but happy to have won the lottery on Roberto Pereyra.
    Still in for 4 youths in this round but won't get greedy seeing as some lads seem to have missed out entirely.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,255 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    Jaysis, nothing from 15 odd contested transfers, thats brutal :(

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Great night for Napoli, Lazio, Dortmund,Ajax, Cruzeiro, Estudiantes!


    You can say that again!!! Obviously a wedding gift from SM!

    Oh and Korkorin! Sweet!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,155 ✭✭✭✭eh i dunno

    Got Inan and Natcho unopposed so now I have 5 89+ centre mids..... Wasn't planning on that so i'll be selling someone soon albeit the 3 I currently had are my best 3 so it'll be one of the new guys that'll be going once their transfer ban is up!

    Only player I got in a bidding war was Loftus Cheek. Lost out on a few others that I max bid on like Dier (well done Villa)

    Thought I was a smart arse by bidding on other players of teams whereby most teams had ongoing deals so they couldn't bid again but low and behold I get up this morning and there's bids on those players, who by the way aren't anything special but can't compete with all these max bidders :P

    If anyone has full backs or a keeper 89+ for sale now, let me know!
