Every players a free agent mate i believe. :)

some players are signed to teams..some with transfer bans now..and some listed as "Free Agent"

I'm sure most people are overestimating their players potential to rise haha

Who?

Everyone

Of your squad i'd say probably about 3 have a chance of getting 90 at the end of the season and after the world cup. Players below 87 have zero chance of getting 90 soon, and only 89's have a decent chance at it unless it's an exceptional player at 87 or 88 and at an elite club (think the likes of Oscar). I'd say most will get a +1, maybe the lower rated players will get a +2. Most of them will not be in the 90's in the next 12 months.

In Frans a few should rise, but some won't because they've just rose recently. That's more long term though. The two youngsters he's refering to are Gnabry and Flanagan I guess, I think both will rise in the summer +1 or +2. The same as they both just rose in January.

Not quite sure what sniper means by his free agents comments. But yeah a lot of his should rise (maybe after the world cup). Though Courtois i'm not sure he'll get another rise till he's playing for Chelsea unless Belgium get to the semi's at least in the world cup. Rafael and Richards don't have any chance to rise. Rafael has only played about half of United's games this season and they are in poor poor form, a lot of united plays should be dropping. Richards has barely featured for City, both are probably closer to a drop than a rise (well Richards at least, Rafael should be safe) and rumours are that both may be leaving in the summer. Rafael will probably stay, and Richards will probably go.

Wow: Another 3 signings accepted, apologies to Stu but outbid for Lukaku

Manuel Lanzini,
Adam Maher
Romelu Lukaku

I know all off mine won't be rising soon, a few should hopefully. But all will eventually (the only exception is Kompany, city will need win things for him to go up, a treble would do that along with a successful Belgian world cup campaign)


First proper bit of drama in a transfer war, Daniel Sturridge bids are both exactly £14 million. I can't remember who get's him in these situations but I have a horrible feeling it's the last team to bid. No certainty as to where he is going until he gets there!

Isn't it now Alphabetical?

Never heard of that one, but I can't see why it would (though I don't have a clue). Who told you that?

I'm assuming it maybe, if not surely it'll be the team who bid first, showed the initial interest.

2 nice new signings Zak, Shaqiri and Meyer.

Aye, I keep buying Shaqiri but Robben and Ribery are keeping him out the first team. When one (or both) of them goes he's sure to get their place so could go up to 96 in a few years time. Though he probably won't get beyond 91 for at least 2 years, and if he leaves Munich then it's a gamble as to how he'd do.

Meyer is supposed to be a wonderkid though, give him a few years and he could be great.

Also brought in Emre Can who had a shock move away from Bayern though I think there might be a buy back clause. Good prospects and should get a little rise at the end of season.

The best in terms of short term is Carvajal though, pretty much established himself as Real Madrid right back so should rocket up soon enough.

Just out of interest, you bought Ginter. I bought him for my Braintree town when he was 77 rated , swapped him when he was 86 rated in a deal to get Szczesny, who i swapped to get De Gea, who I sold to get Ter Stegen + cash.

Ter Stegen is supposed to be going to Barca to be their number 1, if that goes through then he's gonna reach similar heights to Courtois. Though the Belgian is the better choice, he should be world number one in 2-3 years.

what i meant was Ash said all players are free agents, but says Club From: Free Agent (next to many players)

Most of my team have been tipped to do great things, not only have they a lot of potential but they can play now too. Will be interesting.

I have 2 for every position and a few starlets too, all good.

1 more transfer to go through and that's me done.

Should have enough left to take them all out for a slap up meal at McDonalds

I meant the one before that sniper, you will probably have over 10 free agents. I don't get what them being a free agent when you buy them has to do with anything?

In that case you'd love the Brazilian leagues Ash, it's largely comprised of players tipped to be the next Neymar, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo etc. The rest of the players are the ones that have flopped and returned to Brazil (like Pato, though he does have talent). Tipped to do great things isn't much use, when every Tom, Richard and Harry collectively says half the youth players in football will do great things.

Sorry if i'm sounding harsh haha, to clarify I do think you have bought some good young players

T.Hazard will be joining his younger brother (though Stu holds the third brother on the database, and it'll be a few years before the youngest makes it onto the database so I can complete the set )

Waiting on the verdict of the Sturridge transfer saga as to whether I need to buy another player or whether I'm finished

Its good to see the computer teams now bidding for a few and they aint going for their own players with some big signings.

Looks like this will be a very interesting league

Yeah, I noticed a few 2 days ago. Slow slow progress though haha. We have 10 days of nothingness now, most only need 1 or 2 more signings

One's bid for Gerard Pique and Rangers just signed Ribery lol.

Rangers omg they have MONEY lol

I reckon the slowness is due to a possible human takeover so they can put their own stamp on the team.

I reckon 60hrs before the start of the season they will go transfer loopy lol.
