A few risky picks in there, Adebayor the riskiest of the lot at the moment imo.

Where do you think he is off to?

Got no idea, but if it's in England it'll most likely be Sp*rs although that seems to have gone cold for the moment. That's not to say it won't happen though. If not Sp*rs, he'll probably go overseas.

Although there is the chance that he stays at City and doesn't see a minuite of league action, barring an injury catastrophe, and might get some minutes in the cups.

Imno - what are the penalties for having too many players in your squad, or overspending?

So 80 players will be picked eventually. I don't think that many players scored 6+ goals last year but 2 defenders did score 6. I wonder if anyone will take the risk for a cheap buy

Fixed

Edited by zimbos_05: 3/8/2012 04:27:21 PM

Clean up on aisle 4... Holt and Graham are a bit messed up. Maybe another.

Suggested penalty for anyone who ends up with too many players or overspending (ie/ me, at the moment, but not for long)
- 1 point penalty for every million (or part of) overspent
- PLUS loss of most expensive player purchased back into the pool
- PLUS ban from bidding for that player once he is returned to the pool

Corrections to list - hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes

Edited by Benjamin: 3/8/2012 05:05:03 PM

I won't be on tonight/tomorrow morning to keep track of this so you kids make sure it's all under control! :P

Benj - agree on the penalties for overspending, but I'd go further. 3 points per mil, or just a blanket -8 for anyone who ends up with 5 players. Make shit serious :P
