How about a free to enter league, with the avatar control clause (monthly winner gets to pick avatar for monthly loser) and an optional side pool with money handled by someone else? We could even do a draw and team every entrant up against a single opponent for a season long bet. Like I say, open to suggestions!

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho says some clubs are paying "too much" to sign players.


only goes to 2014 so doesn't include 89m on pogba or 70m on lukaku, among others

Soon to be 60m on Eric Dier.

think you'll find the latest graphs show the "tactical genius" Pep has spent more than Mourinho since becoming a manager despite inheriting most of the GOAT Barca and a treble winning Bayern side.

I like the avatar thing. and only added the undertitle part for the season long top 3/bottom 3? Maybe make it top4 so I there is a top4 trophy joke in there somewhere.

Would be fine with removing the $ element completely

Don't think "but Pep" is an effective answer when baids of all people mocks Mourinho
07-25-2017 , 03:04 PM
supposedly pep's spent about 260m since turning up at city vs mou's 200m at mun (am talking net spend fella)

anyway, having 18 y/o messi fall into ones lap is worth about three quarters of a billion and you're pushing at an open door with me regarding pep's tactical geniusness

I mean, if ZAIDS could get admins to agree to undertitles voted on by the thread for the top 4/ top 3 / winner & loser that would be a great addition.

Agree that the cash element just isn't necessary; mic_check runs a load of cash leagues for those of us who enjoy lighting money on fire.

Some real embarrassing efforts over there. 2p2 better than literally every one of those

I'd be open to running a low stakes IKTS league if there was enough interest (at least 10?). Say $20-25 entry. Calendar shows as of now I am not super busy in May '18
07-25-2017 , 04:09 PM
I'll donate my money for IKTS

Think I came last the previous time I entered. At least it can't go worse

Already have it set up, just waiting for them to open, feel they won't open it until a week before the season kicks off though.

May as well start getting some numbers though now.

£20 as escrow will hopefully be done by mic_check but will have to wait until he's back.

Guess i'll get the ball rolling...

Nah I'm back after season starts, people can send over whatever but don't expect me to confirm it until the 2nd week of the season. Send my payment details out to whoever is in, I don't mind.
07-25-2017 , 04:26 PM


I'll wait until we've got about 10 numbers before shipping.
07-25-2017 , 04:29 PM
Looks good KW, do you have an agreed upon set of rules somewhere?
07-25-2017 , 04:31 PM
Also, if people do want to do a reg FF for $$ i'm happy to escrow, have done so on previous occasions back in mttc and have settled plenty of losing bets (sigh) itt.

That being said, I'm also happy with avatar stuff.

Okay I'm good with a free league with avatar and undertitle forfeits.

And yeah, my money is ready to be lit on fire in mic_check's leagues already

It's slightly different from the traditional one that we use to do.

Quote:
10 points are awarded for a correct result (ie correctly predicting the winner or that the match will end as a draw). 40 points are awarded for predicting the exact scoreline.
And that's it really.

No x3 or insurance.

I'll keep monitoring the site, so hopefully they get a new one going soon.

can we have a separate FF thread this year?
07-25-2017 , 04:38 PM
In for IKTS

I'm happy to run the regs league, and if Joejoe is happy to handle the money (the cash entry can be optional) I'm more than happy to donate to it too.

I'm in for optional cash entry if it happens then. It doesn't impact the league at all with cash and non-cash entries anyway.

And then do the avatar forfeits on top.

Perfect. I'd rather not run if I can avoid it. Does BBC predictor work the same way as Talksport? Banker? Insurance? etc...

EDIT: nm just saw above post. No insurance or banker is lame. But if people hate Talksport that much I suppose it is what it is
07-25-2017 , 05:35 PM
some interesting THEO stuff
