Are cashflow issues forcing the sale Fab ?
I have plenty of cash don't you worry about that

Oh, come on, Fab first again?! At least it's a write-off out of the way, I suppose...
You've got home advantage this time, might even scrape a consolation goal

Can someone remind me about the scoring system, in my haste to clear some space in my DM folder, I think that I deleted that message by accident.

In layman's terms. You get one attacking point for an assist and 2 for a goal, 1 defensive point for a goal conceded by a defender and 2 for a goalkeeper.

Defensive points = bad, attacking points = good.

I'll PM you a more thorough explanation tomorrow after work if you would like.

This is a pretty good jist of it.

2 Attacking points for a goal
1 Attacking point for an assist
2 Defensive points against for a defender conceding
1 Defensive point against for a goalkeeper conceding

Multiply your attack points by your opponents defensive points to get your overall score and vice verse to get theres.

Then compare this to the goal targets that will be given on Saturday for your team. Typical goal target for 1 goal last year was 16 points. Therefore a goal and 2 assist (4 pts) and your opponent defense conceding 2 and goalkeeper conceding 1 (4 pts) would be enough to give you 1 goal. (4x4 = 16 points = 1 goal).

You will understand it better seeing it in practice.

I do need to explain a bit more to you though before Saturday and will try to do this tomorrow. It's been difficult to find time last couple of days.

Season, can I just check if the player wages part for people players being bid on in this window is working?

If you look on the transfer market page then it says people are paying the quoted wage for each player no matter if the contract runs till the 1st of September or the 29th of December. Did you change something for the lottery (so everyone paid the quoted price) then forget to change it back?

If you're looking at the Wage Demands bit, then that never changes. That is what you would need to pay for a 13 week contract if you were to buy him. It doesn't necessarily mean it is what the current holder of his contract is paying. From what I can see, it is working fine. You should be able to see this if you check Wes Brown or Daniel Agger on your squad page.

If there is anything else that makes it not look right then please let me know, and don't be afraid to query these things. Some of the scripts for these things are pretty complicated, so I'd be surprised if everything was perfect.

Yeah I was getting the transfer market page and my squad page confused

The squad page tells you what you're actually paying for each player, the transfer market page just gives you the base wage.

Not at the moment I'm afraid. I will try sort something out soon for it.

FYI, all offers with a deadline of Friday 9pm will be set to "Pending" at midnight tonight. This will happen every week. In other words, you will no longer be able to see what the highest offer is or if you have the highest offer.

So this is different to how it worked in the auction?

Yes. Only slightly though. It only affects the players whose offer deadlines are already Friday 9pm. This is to stop people simply waiting till 8:59 pm to outbid the highest offer.

Ok so if I'm leading for a player going into tomorrow then I'll still be told if someone beats my offer (and I get my cash back)?

Only if there offer deadline isn't already Friday 9pm. If not, you'll be tied up to that bid till the end.

I was scratching my head as to why no one had bidded for him. I was getting tempted (if I could afford him ). Glad he didn't go for £6m at least.

I didn't think there was any chance of that winning when I initally placed the bid.

Very happy with my player swaps so far. The transfer market hasn't gone so well though!

Left with an absolute ton of money and not really sure what to do with it

I thought this was going to happen at midnight?
You don't miss a trick. It was only like that for like 3 minutes. Sorry I was testing it and forgot to change the timing to midnight when I put it on the live site.

Do you think it'd work better if the players bid on for the first time on Friday weren't publically set to pending? Makes it still worthwhile to wait until 8:59pm imo.

Yeah. This wasn't intentional and has been fixed now.

Unfortunately anyone whose Offer Deadline wasn't Friday 9pm at midnight, but is changed to Friday 9pm by someone bidding for them, will not show up in the Pending list. The names below are those who it applies to. If they are not on the list at all then that means they should be on the pending list. I'll sort this problem next week, but you can compare the lists for now.

Phil Jones
Stevan Jovetic
Modibo Maiga
Nathan Dyer
Danny Welbeck

Good good, getting my head around this now

Couple of points. Are you trying stuff again? My wage budget just increased by £90k and I have no idea why. Not that I'm complaining

Also Welbeck has disappeared from the list of players bid on.
