Oh - yuu should enter the chat ASAP - DV just accepted an offer for Igor from Port Vale worth around 750k (600k + extras)
Deadline for the first part of the prediction expires at 6 PM. I will stick to my choices for champions, although somewhat doubtful over some.
West Ham United offer 1.3M for David Romo (valued at 800k). What do you want to do (and if negotiate, give me the #s) I will use this opportunity to stop, but please give the answer as soon as possible (I will probably move the game tomorrow to be closer to a round).
Just to allow editing of the other parts - I have the picks for part one in this post (although it probably still is easier for me if you put part 2 etc in separate posts). Champions: Premier League: All 8 went with Manchester United (2 pt lead), Zac had Leeds for a moment, but chickened out Manchester United: (SF3, Castor, Manny, Heath, Nomar, DV, Pued, Zac) First Division: 5 of 8 went with leading Norwich with their 4 pt lead (could be only 2 if Man City win their game in hand) Norwich: (SF3, Castor, Manny, DV, Zac) Man City (#3 - 5 pts out - 1 game in hand): (Heath) Crewe (#6 - 9 pts out): (Nomar, Pued) Second Division: All 8 went with Lincoln and their 7 pt deadline lead Lincoln: (SF3, Castor, Manny, Heath, Nomar, DV, Pued, Zac) Third Division: Half went with the leader Southend who held a 5 pt lead Southend: (Castor, Manny, Nomar, Pued) Plymouth (#4 - 6 pts out): (DV) Boston (#5 - 6 pts out): (Zac) Swindon (#7 - 10 pts out): (SF3, Heath) Conference: 5 of 8 going with the leader in Barnet (3 pt lead) Barnet: (SF3, Manny, Nomar, Pued, Zac) Margate (#2 - 3 pts out): (Castor) Scarborough (#4 - 7 pts out): (Heath, DV) btw... you can still enter the other parts of this challenge even if you didnt deliver one for the first round - still chance to qualify for the reward (mentioned earlier in this thread)
While moving up the game Lincoln recieved a bid for 200k for Paul Mayo (valued at 160k). Being that you need money bad I thought I should negotiate it for you and give you the option if they accepted the negotiation. But first I pulled coach reports on Mayo - and all 6 of your coaches believe he can go on to do great things, so after hearing this I flat out rejected the offer as totally unacceptable.
http://users2.ev1.net/~chkemp/ccnet/cmleague/ last update before part two of the challenge is due - get in your changes/predictions today. Also another bid for Mayo - this time 240k also got in a bid for Gain, but he was not valued according to auto so it was way below his worth - he is now auto-valued again (the game turns of auto valuing for a player being bid for, so if it is not turned on it will stay at the set level for the bid). Also in other news: Mansfield have transfer listed fan favorite Shayne Bradley - It is rumoured that Mansfield will let him go for 1 mill. Also possibly available is other target man Lee Jones. With the relationships for possibly 2 of Mansfields top strikers turning sour Mansfield brought in new Sunderland (reserves) sensation (hopefully) Kevin Kyle to pick up the slack.
Part 2 : Manager Position Carlisle: 6th Lincoln: 1st Swansea: 2nd Hull: 14th Cheltenham: 8th Mansfield: 5th Luton: 15th Plymouth: 3rd Swindon: 1st Scunthorpe:14th Part two edited with a few changes.. now for early predictions Part III: Part 3 : Individual Accomplishments Premier Goals - Mark Viduka Assists - Didier Agathe Avg Rating - Ruud van Nistelrooy MoM - Louis Saha First Division Goals - Stephen McPhee Assists - Darren Eadie Avg Rating - Luke Beckett MoM - Peter Crouch Second Division Goals - Junior McDougald Assists - Wade Elliott Avg Rating - Daniel Nardiello MoM - Scott Partridge Third Division Goals - Alan Shearer Assists - Neil Wainwright Avg Rating - Alan Shearer MoM - Richard Naylor* *) Richard Naylor is no longer in the Third Division, but I'm prediction that his lead will be sufficient to get most MoM's with over half a season to go. Of course the chances that I will edit this before the Jan 1st deadline is pretty good if someone can move closer in the few games remaining. Conference Goals - Lloyd Owusu Assists - James Lambert Avg Rating - Lloyd Owusu MoM - Lloyd Owusu
Part 2 D1 Carlisle: 6th D2 Lincoln: 1st Swansea: 2nd Hull: 13th Cheltenham: 6th Mansfield: 5th Luton: 14th D3 Swindon: 1st Plymouth: 4th Scunthorpe: 11th
Castor - remember too do part II - as we didnt do a round today* round 2 predictions are still good tomorrow - as long as not too late. *) if we don't suddenly do a round now after all
Sorry heath, I had to rush unexpectedly out of town. Part 2- Carlisle- 4 Lincoln-1 Swansea-4 Hull-10 Cheltenham-5 Mansfield-14 Luton-19 PLymouth-3 Swindon-5 Scunthorpe-19
http://users2.ev1.net/~chkemp/ccnet/cmleague/ another update - but all at the mirror site: Textfiles Squad Screen Reserve Screen (stats) Selected Match we're also getting closer to the deadline for part 3 for those who need to get that in - but probably 2 more updates still, atleast 1.

Short-List Deletions Here is a list of the people to remove. Steve Phillips Eric Eijofor-he can't get a work permit Steve Brown Colin Hawkins Graham O'Hanion Ty Gooden Romeo Beckford Stuart Green Tony Thorpe Guliano Garoziola Daniel Nardiello Gareth Law Also offer to Tommy Keeble as a prospect
http://users2.ev1.net/~chkemp/ccnet/cmleague/ Final update before deadline for part 3 - do your final changes (preferably in a new post to avoid the edit to void previous deadlines for other parts) or get yours in if you have not done them - tomorrow will probably be to late - as we most likely will get in a few rounds today. Also be aware that even more top players have changed division/teams, so check that the player you predict still can win what you are predicting (player still on a team in the division or player with a sufficent stat to be the winner when the season is over as the players stat will not change if he is now playing in another division). Latest top player to change team is Luke Beckett that went from Coventry to Ipswich - there might be more. Just check what team the player you are predicting is playing for, and then see the standings if the team is in the division being predicted. Castor: Deleted players from shortlist and made a new update. The "Shortlist" link now show all players in a different view. (Filtered attributes - I selected 9 attributes to show - if you want another view/setting or other attributes just let me know) I also offered for one new scout for you - all the others were really not that good even if they did beat out the one you have. As for now you still have your old one, and no new ones have joined yet. The level of those I didn't try to sign were at 12/10, 11/11, 10/12 for judging ability/potential. Keeble - your shortlist were up to 2 seasons old (updated that to reflect current ages) and Keeble no longer were available for signing as he had signed for Halesowen were he have played since last season. If you want him you could offer Halesowen for him.
Nah I was just gonna offer since it showed he was a free. Since he is not don't bother with him. Thanks for the update. Send my current guy to scout England.
BTW how is my team in second. They must be playing awesome . Man I screwed up predicting they would be 4th I have a good shot to win D1. CK
Part 3 Premier Goals: Viduka Assist: Van Bronckhorst Avg Rate: Viduka MoM: Viduka D1 Goals: Allen Assist: Cawley Avg Rate: Beckett MoM: Evans D2 Goals: Hopkins Assist: Gain Avg Rate: Ashby MoM: Nardiello D3 Goals: Shearer Assist: Wainwright Avg Rate: Shearer MoM: Shearer Conference Goals: Somerville Assist: Gallagher Avg Rate: Owusu MoM: Owusu
Naylor might win most MoM in D3 - but best average he can not get, as when the season ends he will not have enough games to qualify. I'm not completly sure what number to qualify is, but my bet would be half (23) as I've seen players with 25 qualify, while players with 20 not qualify.
Again the deadline is pro-longed by me sleeping. That should be good as Manny and SF3 still have not done part III. (Manny its not that hard, just check each divisions standings & stats textfile). Also Pued might want to edit his division 3 predictions as he has Richard Naylor for stuff that he can not possibly win. And to secure that we get a round in today - I hope we can get someone in early in the chat. Damn me and my "right" sleeping pattern.
