You can set your Captains for all upcoming match days in advance or choose them daily before the first kick-off.

A reminder to pay attention to orange & especially red exclamation marks next to players on your pitch & to make any transfers you need or want to. The 2nd link above can be helpful with extra info about injuries & suspensions.

I'll post further reminders & schedules during the coming month.

I hope everyone has a good weekend & I wish you, your families & friends A Merry Xmas 😊

Job done L.I.K and bearing in mind that the African cup of nations is upon us... as well as the FA Cups games coming up so haven't acted hastedly, and with the 'Overhaul' period begins after this weeks game on Tuesday. (Free transfers) for those unsure.

Nudge - 1 match, 20:00 kick-off

[Lie-in King]

Reminder that Game Week 21 ends this evening with one match - West Ham v Brighton, kick-off at 19:30.

As Arky mentioned above, there'll be no more Premier League matches until Game Week 23, beginning Sat 13th at 12:30.

Until that time (after this evening's match, from the morning of Wed 3rd) the "Overhaul" period is in effect.  This gives unlimited transfers (within the £100m budget), not coming out of the 50 per season allowance - very handy, but imo it's probably best to leave major tinkering until as near the resumption of the Premier League as possible, to allow for injuries & continued absences due to the Africa Cup of Nations.

Last quick bump for the 19:30 kick-off + the info above ^

[Lie-in King]

Morning all - the Premier League is back, albeit with 2 "mini" Game Weeks ahead.  The schedule for Game Week 23 looks like this -

Fri 12th - 1 match, kick-off 19:45
Sat 13th - 2 matches, 1st kick-off 12:30
Sun 14th - 2 matches, 1st kick-off 14:00

The Overhaul period (2 posts up ^^) will end with tomorrow evening's 19:45 kick-off, so make sure any tidying-up you wanted to do is done before then.

Further nudges to come.

[Arksided]

My players are going to get more than a nudge if they don't get their act together.

Thing is I don't want to change too much for fear they'll start playing... erm actual Football 😉

[Lie-in King]

Hi Arky - African & Asian Cups mean I need to make changes.  Meh.

I often think about Sam Allardyce saying -

"Today was about our lack of ability to not produce the ability that we've got"

🤣😵

[Arksided]

Hi. L.I.K. there is the African cup of nations to consider whilst the free transfer window is still open, (A timely reminder I might add) I remember quoting a lot of these a few seasons ago.

"We didn't underestimate them. They were just a lot better than we thought."

*and reading a lot of these...

Afternoon all - a reminder that the free transfer period ends with this evening's match at 19:45 - Burnley v Luton.

I hop everyone has a good weekend 🙂

[Lie-in King]

Hope, not hop.  I don't hop.  No hopping here.

[Arksided]

😄

[Lie-in King]

Morning all - firstly, my apologies for completely forgetting to bump the thread again yesterday. 😞

Today's 1st kick-off is at 12:30.

[Arksided]

Good morning L.I.K. easily forgiven I'm sure. besides I were a little late myself, your post did genuinely make me laugh. 

All done and dusted for the day.

[Lie-in King]

Last bump for today's 12:30 kick-off

[Arksided]

Last little nod from me if you'd like to select captains or change players (AB Towers take note) someone may be off to watch Chelsea... I can't smirk as the real or not real United don't play until tomorrow. as was posted todays KO 12:30.

[Arksided]

Smooth 👍

[Lie-in King]

Afternoon all - a reminder that there are 2 matches today & 1st kick-off is at 14:00
