He is good lrf go and read up before you make judgement on a player you havent heard of..you will get a lot better players that way

Essien still got it i hope lol, plays lb as well and rb so handy

Might be wrong, please correct me if I am, but I think Strootman has operated in a box-to-box system this season for PSV so he might play that role in my team for now. I'm also pretty sure that teams like Man United are interetsed.

I've not seen Botia play all season, but was always a very good cb anytime I've seen him.

essien best as a dm now fan, not so sure on him at fb, think he lacks the energy to do that role over 90 mins. Good versatile player though, good at cb too

Fan, I'd use him in a deal to improve RW, as Shaqiri is a top player but looks slightly out of place in your team.

Schalke time

Yeah good for 4th choice, nastasic upto 3rd

Paulo Machado at olympiakos now, quality player

Lstd, I really think the Academy numbers should be raised, up to maybe 10 from January onwards? Struggling to keep hold of some of the youngsters on my books

n21 anyone you have over you need to get rid of already said if it goes up it will be end of season, everyone agreed to 5.

Yeah will do

Gonna have to cancel Kvist + Jorg as I don't have enough spaces in my squad for them, unless I can send Kvist + Khedira back

Yeah well ill see, like Essien and very handy to have, good to bring on and shore things up

Khedira, Bender, Essien for dm now

I wasn't bothered at all at first about academies but I wouldn't mind it rising soon either.

One thing I do think is unfair though is that we all have players in the real life academy that we can call up without having to actually put them in our squad.

Seems especially unfair on Pompey.

TJ, I bought the exact same thing up as well. Liverpool have Robinson, Flanagan, Morgan, Adorjan, Sama etc that they can call upon whenever, and Pompey don't even have an Acedmy in RL coz their fecking bankrupt!

Spurs only brought up Livermore and Townsend this season aswell.
It's not even likes these guys are 18 and below.

like ive already said thats just unlucky really, also said when they get over 22 they no longer count anyway

Could I get a bit of advice from a few people?
I have both my RBs out on the dream league and I can't sign anyone in the mean time, should I play Puyol RB and Sampirisi at CB or Hutchinson (Chelsea RB at Forest) at RB?

Spurs have Carroll, Coulthirst, Pritchard etc who they can take out anytime too, it's like they have extra breathing space.

It may be lucky, but it's hugely unfair.

TJ, play Hutch

probably hutch just now tj, bit more experience

Personally I just think that any youth players at any clubs in this league should be able to be bought by whoever finds them for free on the transfer centre.

Cheers lads, Hutchinson it is.

its been that was since first season, cant really change it now anyway. maybe have to think of something for portsmouth, but for everyone else it works fine tbh

Change there name to Fulham or Bolton maybe?

Extend my Academy to 10

Gargano signed happy with that!
