CM League- Season 6

Why this hate for Duncan? Rest assured that now I will put him in.

They think he is the star of the team and wonder why you do not play him all the time!




























Ok, then - I will check him later.

 

Tomorrow will be the last day to deliver or edit your predictions for the challenge. So take a look at the updated screens and textfiles and the most damage you can do. It is about the future of your team!

(The point gained will be distributed to better one of your players - so everybody should participate, no matter how hard you think it is)

 

Updated everyones squad screen

It only show all the players (and their positions) you have in your first team, if you think it is too few, cal someone up, too many send down to the reserves.

It is also a nice way to find out if you have anyone unhappy etc as the info-icon is shown if there is anything.

 

Last chance do edit/enter your prediction stuff. You got until midnight (just about an hour), all entries/edited posts after that would risk not being valid, and at the least be given a penalty that would increase the more late you are delivering your prediction.

SF3 will be allowed entering his prediction late as he have been away.

Palace: 25.06, 23.05, 70K, 120K
Carlisle: 28.88, 27.72, 130K, 210KWatford: 25.31, 23.63, 75K, 180K

Highest paid player each club:

Carlisle: Vugrinec - 25000 pw
West Ham: Nolan - 21000 pw
Watford: Danielsson - 20000 pw
Bournemouth: Wooter - 19250 pw
Nottm Forest: Joachim - 16500 pw

Wimbledon: Gallen - 10750 pw
Lincoln: Cosgrove - 10750 pw
Cheltenham: Corbett - 9000 pw
Tranmere: Hume - 7750 pw
Mansfield: Porter - 6000 pw

Man some teams really dish out the money - I think I even overcompensated Porter.

btw - haven just moved Danielsson up to the first team so his 1st team wages increase with 20k.

The stats have been updated during the latest few days, including reserve team stats.

In addition, textfiles have been updated.

Also the transfer deadline is about to pass, so those who wants to try and get someone better be in the chat before we do a round today, as when we start the first round, the deadline would have been passed.

Now what to update next?

 

Heath for this weekends rounds here is my CM lineup(I will be out of town until late monday night)

I want to begin games on Attacking mentality now, please.

DC: Kleine
ML: Moraitis

West Ham lineup with new players.

Attacking mindset

GK: Sahlman
D: Branston
D: Young
D: Mattioli
M: Pitcher
M: Stolcers
M: Gudjonsson
M/F: Greening
F: Whelan
F: Castaldo
F: Alm

Subs:
1. Nelson
2. Britton
3. Law
4. Van Gessel
5. Lemee

 

Ooops - SF3 is back, now it is attack or die

Actually the formation and stuff is not bad, as you use it when you need offense, but ...

Sander Van Gessel

is not a defender

he is a defensive MIDFIELDER

But that is alright as Stolcers is out injured too

And BRANSTON, is not yet finished with his EIGHT match suspension

Want to try again (Both Branston and Stolcers should be back in a couple of games)?

 

Darn, I was hoping Van Gessel could play defender, as my defenders outside of Young and Branston pretty much suck. I suppose I will start Mattioli =/ and put Van Gessel in his sub place.

While Branston and Stolcers are out, I will start Lemee and Van Gessel for them, and then go back to the posted lineup when they are back.

 

Oh, forgot this earlier - and this will probably make you very happy.

Scott Young got an injury last game (box1), so now your defense really sucks for the next couple of games, huh? I do not have the game up, but think I remember it being for 2 weeks.

Might opt to deduct point for copying others as Castor offered after his copy of me Should we deduct a few points? This will only affect a couple of the contestant - having similar stuff does not mean you copied from someone, it is just for those that copied without loooking into it theirself.

We will give it a shot to finish the season tonight, although with 5 rounds remaining, it look like a longshot. Get in the chat as early as possible so we can start the first round
