Already picked Arsenal so let's go Newcastle 💪🏻

Thank you Paul !

Is that all? I thought you would want to have a chance, no? ;-)

Newcastle please.

In the same spirit can you take maybe 9 points off OPT in the league?

BIB sends 1 CP to TNS for 85k

AFC Bournemouth for MT.

Following on the spirit of competitiveness maybe you can also set all of the MT players EL to 12?

;)

Maybe there should be some kind of cup bonus for a team that is in a lower division? 

While preparing for the upcoming SFLSL Cup Semi-final I noticed that FCB have a serious injury to star FW Kieffer Moore 3/32 (-26 EL).

I have now discovered that FCB NMRd in match 34 and OLMEC started Moore on 3 EL. He suffered an injury when in negative EL (min 73) and finished the match on -34 EL.

I am going to add 30 EL to Moore so that he can play a part in the game on Wednesday. Having him in the physio room rather playing in the Semi-final makes it not fun for both Josh and myself.

That will have a knock on effect for the remainder of the season of course, in particular the playoff spots. For balance, I have noted that TNS are having EL difficulties too and I have added in some EL to one of their FWs. Not enough that he can feature in the upcoming fixture against DB but he should be available in the last two fixtures.

During the close season, I hope to approach Al Sellers again and ask that he brings the injury numbers down to something more 'playable'. Anything over -30 is just soul destroying.

TNS sends 1 TP to PNE for 100k

Injuries are decimating our side at present with 3 of the 18 sidelined, only 4 matches to go so hopefully we can survive in division 1.

We have been offered a couple of TPs and CPs recently. Thanks but no thanks - no need at all.
There seems to be a misunderstanding of BIB's needs. You can GET about any player FROM BIB, you can GET about any resource - all for the right (low) price.
Those few guys forced to stay at BIB might need some talent, might even need mental care - but BIB's really not lacking any TPs/CPs currently.
Obviously, anyone can understand the wish to flee from BIB.
More obviously, anyone should be able to understand why BIB's not coaching 5/12s.

Liverpool for ITP please

Man City for ORA, thanks.

Yes

Newcastle please.

What do the numbers signify next to some team names in the LMS table?

Is that the previous winners?

Captain change done 

I couldnt add in notebook but can Baldock be made captain of FCB. thanks josh

I pity the fools that picked Forest against the winless Hammers. But don't pick Arsenal as Forest will let you down again.

Spurs stumbled, Forest flopped, and only late winners for Man Utd and Sunderland kept them in it along with Chelsea.

Still nine of you in it.   Next weekend there are World Cup qualifiers so the next deadline is Saturday 13th Setptember at 12:30, and the default selection is Wolves.  Fixtures are below the selection table

Scratch the below!  :)

We are still missing the payout for our Cup bet.

What is strange is that I don't see the -50 for the bet in the account anymore...

Colin and I have discussed the TP captain rule and have decided to keep with the newer TP rules that are on the front page.

Captain can be changed once per season for free 

It's included in the TP section just to make it easier for Colin and myself to administer 

The following teams receive Participation Bonus through Correcting typo, balance for MT should be +25:
MT(-230)

The following teams receive Participation Bonus through week ending 29th August 2025:
NJN(5) OPT(50) ORA(10) PNE(10) TNS(50) YFC(50)

ACS(20) AFC(5) BIB(5) CAM(5) DUB(5) DB(50) FCB(5) GCK(5) ITP(5) LBC(50) LD(25) MT(255)

Rules say no captain change allowed

Colin says allowed, costs 1 TP

Roy says allowed, free.

If Roy is right I would like to change my captain to Mohammed Mustang, ideally backdated to yesterday so that he benefits from today's win.  I have also posted this on the notebook.
