Yeah yeah...well done, well done! We will have our vengence!

I wouldn't write yourself off just yet...you do realize you're still the 4th strongest team in the Middle League!? In terms of Alliances, anyone in the Middle (@Fierce_LiNk ? @Ellmeister ? etc) or Lower (@Charlie ? @Lucas3693 ? etc) leagues up for joining me? Unfortunately @Zell, as we're in the same division now we're gonna have to break up the band! High Five to us (nWo) though for winning the alliance competition last season!!!

I know I wasn't intending on selling him originally but having had a rethink I've put my midfielder Eddie Guerrero on the transfer market for any VIPers interested. He's a 32-9 with:- Goal Instincts, Hard shot, Stamina, Play Actor & Diva traits. Estimated value: 1 388 500 econ Feel free to put a bid in, he's already had bids up to 1.1m econ since yesterday so realistically I'll only accept something close to or over his estimated value as he'll probably go for around that on the open market anyway.

I've just informed Fedex so hopefully you'll get the invite at some point today! He didn't know as he's not on this forum.

Hmm, it's not letting me on xpert now either!?

Just to let you know @Haden that after 7 offers on Undertaker so far, you are still just the highest bidder...will let you know if that changes later. I'll accept the offer at about 22:55 English time tonight if you're still the highest. You can always just sack Hodgson if you need to make the space! :P But then I'm not sure if that's an option as he's currently on the transfer market!?

Aha, gotcha! Was gonna ask if you wanted a friendly on Friday which would be a fitting testamonial for Undertaker if you get him but I see you already have one arranged with Andy.

Anyone know how to access the team settings so I can change what position my recommended players come from? I can't seem to find the option anywhere since they changed the layout!

Lol, you missed Co-op off the list again! Thurs night at 11pm our time is the cut off so all bids must be in before then, I'll let you know on the day if any bids have exceeded yours! Are you going to sack anyone to make room as your squad is now full?

Yeah I agree, it's all about the league and the sooner we start the better!

...as well as 10, Co-op has chosen the number 12 for the lottery!

Damn straight I am! Yeah 3 & 6 is fine...unless 7 turns out to be the winning number then I'll go on a killing spree! Ah, didn't realize he needed two picks so i'll see which other number he'd like...

The Undertaker is a busy deadman! Since being put on the transfer market just a few hours ago there have been 4 offers made so far!

Seahawks says he's gonna stick it out with his current team but won't be participating in the cup!

Fedex would like me to inform you that he will be taking part in the cup! Not heard back from Seahawks yet but last time I spoke to him he was thinking of starting a new team from scratch...will hopefully have an update soon!

Not the best of change reports for me, had 11 increases but then my squad was 19 strong. Have now sacked my defender Sting (who i was intending to sell) as he dropped one skill level and wanted to retire at the end of the season anyway which is a shame but will probs bring in a new youth defender. Not sure I can afford to sell you any of my midfielders of forwards Haden as my midfield and attack are one of the weakest in the Elite league, lol! Probs should keep my remaining veterans a bit longer till the younger players become as good or better than them! Scrap that...looking at my squad again I have too many midfielders and not enough of them were able to get the required game time to skill up sufficiently last season so I'll have to sell one I think. With that in mind it makes sense to sell the oldest one (Undertaker) before he decides to retire anyway, even though he's my best. He's a 33-10 with goal instincts, no hidden attributes. Estimated value: 995 700 econ. Any VIPers feel free to put a bid in and I'll also put him on the transfer market then accept the highest offer! Offers must be received by Thursday night as he's on the transfer market until that midnight, I'll accept an offer before the deadline if it tops what I'm being offered on the transfer market!

Count me in for the cup. I'll have numbers 3, 6 & 7 for the lotto please! Maybe Jimbob could pull the number out of the hat at the same time he does the live cup draw...if he is doing the draw again that is!? I'll inform Co-op, Seahawks & Fedex of the cup/lotto and get back to you! Co-Op is up for the cup and he chooses number 10 for the lotto.

A short but treacherous journey over the Washington Roundabout awaits! At least it's not far to travel on Boxing Day..the fixture creators were very considerate for this one, it's worked out similar to the way Premiership fixtures are organised!

Yeah I have a similar problem, then in games when I would want to use the younger keeper, his form is too low. No Owen Hart is the one I was talking about selling, my 26-11 keeper. Thinking about it though, if I get rid of both Hart and Sting that puts a massive dent in my defence so I'll definately sell Sting in the off-season but keep Hart for 1 more season at least until the my defence gets strong enough for me to be able to let him go without him being too big a loss. Cool, you could evaluate him and see whether he's compatible, maybe wait til after the change report though incase he decides he wants to retire at the club. He should still have a few seasons left in him yet though as I've been playing him practically every game apart from if he's been injured. In my experience, players don't seem to retire before 35 if you use them regularly, it's only when they're not involved much that they want out. Hmm, I'm not sure my midfield is good enough to allow him to leave yet but we'll see, if I have a good enough change report with my midfielder's then I'll consider it.

Funny you should mention that, I'm thinking of selling Owen Hart in the next pre-season as I have two decent goalkeepers within three years of each other at the age where they both need to be playing practically every game and I can't seem to give either adequate game time that their DV requires...so if you fancy coughing up his price tag of 6,973,800 econ (probably more after the change report) then he's yours If that's a bit out of your price range then I'm also putting Sting on sale after this season, he's the same skill but a veteran defender at 33 with the leader trait and currently priced at 1,232,600 econ. Bids from anyone are welcome from now on for that matter and I will not accept any of them until the new season...Merry Christmas!

Haha, that was embarressing...a 5-0 loss despite a 5* manager rating and playing pretty defensively! Oh well, this 'cannon fodder' still holds a better record over you! We are a team in transition this season. Once a few of my decent youngsters come through I'll be able to put up more of a fight in the future against the top three!

As I haven't heard back from @Zell on who he thinks our third member should be (or if he himself wants to even stay in the alliance) I'll make the executive decision that we still are "nWo" unless he says otherwise and our third member will be Comerade Co-Op! That way we have one player in each league.

Spotlight 4-3 & 19 legends.

My prediction are in Peeps! Sent them via an xpert pm. Is there a spotlight for tomorrow btw?

@Zell...fancy keeping nWo together for the alliances? If so, do you reckon keep Seahawks in even though he's in the same division as you but the 2nd strongest team there and likely to get promotion or go with a lower league team ie Co-op? I'm thinking Seahawks might be the safer bet as co-op was forgetting tactics quite a lot last season!?
