Atletico still involved and only a point behind so all to play for - need to work out what happened this week but a clean sheet so that's a positive after the metal game last week

Great week for young starlet Havertz with a hatrick, Schalke fans hope there's more like that to come, but Bayern fight through a packed defence to grab all three points to stay top...

Bayern carrying on from last season by taking 3 pts with late goals!

In the words of the immortal Jimmy White...

"(They're) beginning to annoy me"...

Arsenal sign Gabriel Magalhaes for £70millions from Danubio amid some frantic bidding.
Man City completed the signing of both Max Arrons and Ben Godfrey from Norwich for £47millions each and to complete a busy week at Maine Road they also bought in Joe Bryan from Fulham for £10millions.
Kenny Tete joined Emelec for £12millions.
Mikel Merino joined Plymouth for £10millions.

Those were the biggest deals with every deal detailed on the TP special action as normal...

Training now...

I like Gabriel but too steep for me on this occasion. Great to get Merino in - a real talent!

Pau Torres is equally as good, could still possibly move to England and you got him for pennies!! On the other hand Gabriel looked like a class act last weekend.

Kenny Tete and Mikel Merino ....... young, full internationals for Holland and Spain, really good players and both can play in England. Absolute steals at those prices. Great work Gaz and Ben.

Delighted with this weeks results, great tok see first senior Goals for Camvinga and Eduardo Quaresma. 

Some players you just love to watch develop! 

Most impressive was Botafogo ability to come from a goal down to run out winners Vs a very talented Flamengo Side.

Spain possibly one of the most competitive leagues. Will be very interesting to see how it's panned out by half way. At least 7 teams could win the league. Real within 4 points of top so very much in it.

Feels like a bit of missed opportunity this week, although I was away so can't argue with a point!

Quick question , can we have the skills next to players on the transfer list , I am sure on the old print outs they used to be there , very helpful when deciding to bid on a player, if they are there then I am not seeing them.

Yep, I thought the same, misses is now dragging me for a bloody walk

Email turns all sent out

Thanks Paul for another great week

A couple of weird ones this week in my games:

In my Plymouth game - after 70 mins I make a sub and then for the rest of the 20 mins of the game the Villa players literally pass between themselves - I don't even try to make a challenge at all. Though was a bit strange, although maybe not?

Close game though!

The other one is with Atletico and is something have had quite a bit when playing with just a CF against 2 CBs - almost everytime Santos Borre (CF) gets the ball in a good position in the game he is effortlessly tackled by both defenders at the same time - is this normal? Think it happened around 9 times he got the ball in shooting positions so he never got a chance to shoot.

Might you please be able to take a look and let me know.

Loving the new stamina report btw - excellent addition!

Thanks

Ben

There is a Stamina report  

Paul - Put Mason mount on individual training to bump his QU now his CR is maximum but it had no effect whatsoever, any reason for this? or will it not take effect until next turn.
