[Beefy]

Reech dropped him last week.

I have no idea who plays up front for Ipswich, they seen to have three or four strikers playing every game. I assumed Waghorn must be on the wing.

I consulted with viva_la_raza and he confirmed that Waghorn is the main man.

[UK Blue]

I consulted with viva_la_raza and he confirmed that Waghorn is the main man.

Insider knowledge.

[UK Blue]

Hmm BEEBS is Coulthirst going to score today?

[BBF]

He's supposed to be playing up top but I think it's likely he'll play on the right quite a lot. I would say NO he will not score today.

Only if it's 2 for 1.

That's what I thought too but if MMH says no we'll just cancel it. We've got a week to sort it anyway as its not valid for this week.

[The Rosk]

Literally every decision I have made since April has been the wrong one. Margaret has been slipping whisky in my morning coffees during team training and it's clearly having an effect. Must have a word with my DOF about her.

[Torn]

It's still a 2 for 1 trade if you include a throw in player with one leg by the way

It's only a penalty but KODJIA IS BACK YES

[Beefy]

It's still a 2 for 1 trade if you include a throw in player with one leg by the way

Exactly.

Personally I've no issues with it but the shit second player is just going to get dropped. Meh.

[UK Blue]

Scores should be up to date.

With that transfer, I was under the impression that you could only trade one player per club. Also surprised Lacazette is on the market.

[UK Blue]

Surviving the Aubameyang threat as it stands...

[BBF]

Exactly.

Personally I've no issues with it but the shit second player is just going to get dropped. Meh.

Who is the shit second player? If there's any issues from anyone I'm happy to cancel the trade or rework it for a one for one swap.

[BBF]

In the interest of fairness I had a look to see if there was a ruling.

I already said trades are OK but only one trade per season per two teams and only one to one players.

So looks like me and Shelton will have to renegotiate.

So this is my latest team. Apologies

[UK Blue]

Fuck I did not realise Marriott had scored.

[The Rosk]

Oh sweet. Cavani has handed over the penalties to Neymar. Sweet.

Rory McAllister is a penis.

[BBF]

I guess we need to think about what to do with son_of_foley's team as well now.

I'm not sure we'd get anyone to replace him right now tbh so do we do walkovers both retrospectively and going forward? What about his players? Just leave them as ineligible for the season or do some sort of lottery/draft for them?

[Peter Griffin]

SOF quit?

[Beefy]

I didn't say there was one in this instance I'm just commenting in general

He'll be back at some point. We've never killed a team before and don't think there's really a need to start now.

[BBF]

I didn't say there was one in this instance I'm just commenting in general

Ah I see. I think overall the 2 for 2 trade there was quite fair. I really wanted Murray and Morelos but I think that was a bit lopsided

[UK Blue]

Morata limping off was not good to see.

Invalid. Margaret should've told you that you can't drop Holman until Tuesday.

[UK Blue]

Don't listen to Alex, he can't count.

[RFF Champ]

I was going to put counting on my covering letter to replace Margaret as well.

[UK Blue]

Yo REECH a spreadsheet query if I may.

I've never been able to update the table or master player list. I use my laptop and have tried different browsers. When I click 'sort' in says 'Running script Dismiss' then after a few seconds a red box pops up that says 'Script updateTable experienced an error Details Dismiss. Clicking on 'Details' just brings up another box saying 'Script updateTable experienced an error'.

Any idea how to fix this? Maybe I need to download a plug-in?

[BBF]

He's away for three weeks so I'm not sure he'll be able to respond but I'll take a look in the meantime and see if my rudimental skills can fix it.

[UK Blue]

Top man.

Master player list isn't updating the goals from week six either, not sure if that is something that comes under your skillset.

I'll dust off my Excel for dummies book and be a pro in time for next season

[BBF]

This is why Reech shouldn't be allowed holidays.

[UK Blue]

He should never be allowed out of the lab.

[Torn]

All my 5 scoring this week in a spectacular display!

[UK Blue]

GONZALOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Makes me feel slightly better about picking him ahead of Aubameyang.

[BBF]

Fat fucking cunt.

[Andy]

Survived Neymar and back at the top of the league. Good week.

[Torn]

Neymar is no Gary Hooper is he?

Been delighted with my pick of Mertens, what an absolutely lovely little footballer he is

[RFF Champ]

I don't take any joy in another Jonas goal rounding off a crushing defeat of Pride FC because son_of_foley isn't here to share in it.

[UK Blue]

I miss sof

Someone contact him IRL to tell him that.

I hope it doesn't take him three years to come back like it did me.

[Peter Griffin]

The fuck happened with SOF damnit!

[RFF Champ]

Andy’s bad breath drove him away.

[Peter Griffin]

Thanks for the help, I don't wanna be the only Derby fan here, Come join The Rams Alex!

Pitman, 29, had a keyhole procedure to remove a piece of floating tissue and the club said the date of his return will depend on how his knee settles.

[Beefy]

I think I've got two players unless Vardy gets a few minutes.

Edit - actually I don't think Vardy is in the England squad is he? Who cares?

[UK Blue]

Vardy's injured.

I was about to question whether Assombalonga or Waghorn were internationals but thought I'd check. Turns out Assombalonga has been in squads but never played for DR Congo and Waghorn is English... I thought he was Austrian or something. #knowledge

Might still work out. Bodin went off injured straight after he scored.

Godden has missed a penalty for me. Losing patience with that boy.

Uk Blue with the beautiful insight. You're my boy.
