Game Six: Last Turns Results Etc…

Four-Way English League Battle.

 

            Losses by joint English league leaders Manchester United and Sunderland this turn has opened the league title race up and we have a four-way joint leadership of the table as we go into the middle of the season.

            Manchester City and Arsenal have joined the previous joint leaders at the top of the table after completing away wins this turn. City defeated Fulham 2-1 in London, whilst Arsenal beat Bolton 2-0 thanks to goals from Johnathon Woodgate and John Obi Mikel.

            To make the title race even close, Spurs are in fifth position after winning 2-0 at home over Liverpool and just a point off the pace set by the new leadership quartet.

            The closing up of the English race was generated by Aston Villa and Everton after they had home wins this turn over the joint leaders going into the turn. Villa saw off Sunderland 3-0 thanks to goals from Hernanes, Emile Heskey and Ricardo Carvalho.

            Everton beat Manchester United at home in a 3-1 home win, despite a goal from Nani for the travellers. Louis Saha scored twice for the home side, with John Carew completing the scoring and ensuring the three points for the Toffeemen.

            Not so tight in Italy, with Inter Milan keeping their remarkable perfect record to nine wins after edging a 1-0 win at Cagliari this week. Nicolas Anelka got the winner to see Inter move into a five point lead from AC Milan, who beat Genoa 3-2 at home.

            Juventus slip down to third place after a goalless draw at Lazio to allow AC Milan to move back into the final Champions league qualification place. Jesus Navas scored twice in the San Siro for AC with veteran defender Nesta completing the scoring to ensure a Milan domination of the top places.

            Bayern Munich put in adominant 4-0 performance at Hannover to close the gap between them and leaders Wolfsburg to a single point. Mario Gomez got two goals, with also efforts from Miroslav Klose and Daniel Van Buyten to pile the pressure on the leaders.

            Wolfsburg slipped up slightly after being held to a 1-1 draw at Schalke 04, but hold onto their leadership by a single point.

            Paris Saint Germain remains three points clear of the chasing French pack after just beating Toulouse 1-0 at home. Sankhare with the only goal of the game to keep them clear of Bordeaux.

            Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid recovered from their shock losses last turn with comeback wins this turn. Villarreal stays with the giants after a 2-1 home win over Sevilla to maintain a three-way leadership of the Spanish league. However both Barcelona and Real go ahead of Villarreal thanks to superior goal difference. With Barca keeping top spot by two goals after an excellent 3-2 win on the road at tricky opponents Valencia.

            Sporting CP are three points clear of he European division despite a 1-1 draw at home with FC Porto. Benfica move into joint second after a Javier Saviola hat-trick saw off bottom of the table Olympiakos in a 3-0 home win.

T-List Codes

 

                Believe it or not but after 3+ years, some managers are still using the wrong codes when using the transfer list.To bid for a player you must use LST BID or BID to bid for a player you want to buy.

                To put one of your players on the list you must use PLACE. If you use the wrong code it will be ignored, this avoids confusion all round. So double check your turns.

 

 

Bid To Un- Managed Sides.

 

                Knowing what to bid for players at un-managed sides can be tricky for many managers, especially as there is no feedback from rejected bids. So here are a few things to bear in mind.

                The computer compares the First team on skill before and after any deal. If the team improves it has a better chance, if it doesn’t then you are probably wasting your time.

                Cash is of little use to a side with no manager, so are players that don’t get into the team. So i always suggest you half the value of any player you may offer if they are not close to getting a game with a possible new club.

                Some managers have a quick guide they use for bids. Simply make sure you bid has at least two from the following three categories.

 

1)       Players of Higher skill than the players wanted

2)       Offered Players are under 30 years of age, or younger than the players you want.

3)       They are home group to that side, even in games with no overseas rule it can be helpful to have ‘home players’.

Hope that helps.
