Afternoon all.

Afternoon. Have I missed much here?

What do you guys make of Chelsea signing Marin?

There's a press conference available on the media page you can answer for a £2m boost to your transfer budget

Okay

Although I might twist things you say and turn them into rumours, see the rumour highlights section...

Haha, it's fine, I'm not scared

I just added some parts to the rules in section 4. It explains how the games work - in case people aren't quite sure.

Thanks Fred, the new rules cleared a lot up

It was nice of you earlier when you said my squad was Ok except Kelly and the Greek guy without mentioning a problem with me picking Coates... who is in your squad It's al sorted now

Coates is in my squad?!?!?!

Girlfriend (who is mexican American) just cooked me such a Spicey curry. Not looking forward to the ring of fire...

Hey all Of ya How are you lot doing Been busy today, Have I missed anything in my absence?

Not a lot. Been quiet today as weekends probably will be.

How you doing mate?

GUYS UPDATES.

Now most squads are done or nearly completion, I think it's time that people starting posting their tactics for the upcoming friendlies. You've got plenty of time, the deadline isn't until Wednesday but this is a pre-run and there might be a few problems that arise.

Have a look which preseason tour your team has been drawn in, go to that page and write your tactics on there.

A starting XI, substitutes and a few words about tactics (try not to make them too long as people have to read 8 sets of tactics to place votes, I'm looking at you RAP...) and then you're done until wednesday.

At that point, all tactics for games taking place on Friday should be submitted. Go onto the OTHER pre season tour - to one in which your team isn't playing - have a quick flick through their tactics and write up a score prediction and any scorers. Obviously more details are great but not necessary if you're in a rush.

Once that's done me and Tippy will take an average of the scores and the most popular goalscorers and produce a final result for each game that will be posted on the preseason page and on this article under the title RECENT RESULTS.

If there's anything you're not sure about, have a flick through the rules page and if your question isn't on there and neither tippy nor I are around, leave your question on the rules article and it'll be answer ASAP by one of us.

Links to all the articles mentioned are found in the main body of this articles.

Lastly I just want to thank everybody for their patience, you've been with us since the beginning and have really helped kick this league off and both me and Tippy appreciate it.

At last we've got most of the squads fixed so let's do this thing!!!

Welcome to the Dream League.

Do we start the Tactics now then? Can't see any up atm

I'll do mine tonight but you can go ahead and erite yours if you want

That would be great

If I do mine later theyll be an example. Me tippy and rap have done these games before so we know how to best write the tactics.

Myself & Wilshere have been doing this for a while also

Punting, give me an example please

This is from the other league Im on

Nice one punting. I forgot wilshere was on another league but didnt realise you were too.

We have some lstd veterans haha.

For those new to the game, save your tactics until a few examples have been posted so you know the sort of thing we mean. I didn't have a clue when I joined lrf's league haha.

Yeah Fred, this is my side on there:

--------------------Akinfeev-----------------
--Der Wiel--Benatia----Howedes---Periera--
----------------Inler-------Montolivo------
----Cazorla-------Pastore---------Ayew
---------------------Gomez------------------

With back up including Cabaye, Lewandowski, Dominguez, Ter Stegen, Lennon, Giroud & Varela

Thanks for that

Does it have to be that long? Fred said he didn't wan't the tactics to be too long because might be short on time

because people*
