| Welcome to week 23 the first of two weeks where I get to play the English league playoffs and most of you get to do two weeks of unrestricted team building and enhanced training.
during these two weeks ( 23 and 24 ) the following rules are suspended.
1) maximum squad size of 25 2) players wont return to previous clubs for 40 weeks
and any training you do is at an enhanced rate so you need to ensure all your academies and training facilities and training staff are running at 100% effectiveness. |

| Is this when we also use sponsorseek to renew our major sponsors for the coming season, or do we do that in week 24? |

| Had some bad news during the night, my mother-in-law hasn't been very well, she was diagnosed with terminal cancer a few months back, and she passed away in her sleep last night. So I will be a bit busy for awhile.
I will get back to CF in a few days.
edit:
Seems like things will be delayed until next week, so because of the delay I will allow you to use 10 extra dealings this week, you can send the extra dealings to my email address or in a private message here. |

| Don't forget that reviewing players before you have actually signed them just means you will end up paying more for them.
for instance...doing a SWAPBID followed by a REVIEW for the same player is not a good idea because reviews are done immediately and swapbids are done after all the games are run. |

| Just finished playing the various Challenge Cup games, some good matches in there.
Note
The system can only play a maximum of 9 different challenge cups each week, just so you know. |

| Santos are in the money this week as Gabriel Jesus moves to Nantes for £60m, Breno moves to Fluminense for £12m and Fabinho also moves to Fluminense for £18m. Gabriel turned down offers from Man City, Arsenal and Napoli to move to France.
Barcelona are certainly strengthened by signing the superb Muller and Lewandowski from their feeder club Flamengo for £35m and £25m. |

| Newcastle signed Neil Taylor from Banstead for £8m.
Francis Coquelin joined Villa for £25m from Watford.
Plymouth take Ibrahimovic from their feeder club Roma for a bargain £8,750,000 so watch out Premiership, "I arrived here as a king and left as a god" has arrived and he should fight right in with their long ball game. |

| Joao Mario joins Inter in exchange for Vidal and cash from Feyenoord.
Fernando Llorente replaces the departing Ibrahimovic at Roma in a big deal from Barcelona.
and the last of the big deals saw Schlake's Edinson Cavani move to reality managed Galatasaray for £60millions. |

| Schalke were unsuccessful in their bid to tease Sergio Aguero away from Man City despite making a decent enough bid that included Santon and Pato and cash. City boss said, "We will be perservering with trying to integrate Sergio into our way of playing during the coming season", he went on to add, "With a few important players nearing their sell by dates I see next season as a bit of a rebuilding one". |
