I can't decide between these two for my assister. Older guy who will be able to play more matches or younger guy who will improve and already has a few better technicals. 

 

Anyone care to weigh in? 

 

Also, my star striker was minutes away from being pried away from me via release clause, because he wanted 75k a week and a 2m signing bonus, and 100k a week and 1m bonus was just not an acceptable replacement. Need to get the guy a financial advisor for Christmas. The team he wanted to go to pays their players like 3k a week maximum 🤔

 

But we got him tied down again for 90k + 1m (by giving him another release clause).

 

Same as Geordie, the younger guy looks better, but it depends on who gets the most assists in your tactic

The Dutch lad. He’s younger and stamina only 2 points below.

Personally I'd pick the younger guy.

But it depends where you're playing them, as a winger or an AMC.

They will both play IW against weaker opposition, and cm/AP against stronger, but yeah I should probably lean towards the Dutch boy. 

Thanks everyone! 

[broodje kip]

I should not help any of you. It’s against our restaurant policy 😂😂

My chosen assister, the current record holder for most key passes in a game 

[geordiekrispy]

Here's my chosen assist king this season.

Thats a cracking pick to be fair. I made the wrong choice with mine, there is someone with about double the assists at the minute 😭😭

[George Traistă]

Done my season!

Not even started yet, you are keen 😂

[hhooo]

@RichI should be clear, the Dutch kid above, Bicentini, is my chosen assister. Part of what made the decision easier is the other guy was replaced in my starting XI by one of my former goal collectors who I repurchased. 

[hhooo]

Losing my star striker to Arsenal 🤮 

But at least they bid too late for the deal to go through this window, so he's gone in January. 

@Rich

It turns out I do have a question about this boner - if we move clubs mid season, can we use the assists so far from our chosen player, and can we choose a new assister at the new club?

I would say yes, as long as when you move club you let us know who the new assister will be 😁

Sounds like a good bonus point to me, but that match won't get it for you. Here's a sneak preview

Don't want to say too much for predictions' sake!

I was feeling confident about my season... not anymore!

Just starting my new season, here's my chosen assister... 

[Chris]

I think this is the worst I've ever been FMM'ed 😂 especially with those CCC's

Get that in the record books over in @Rob’s topic about being FMM’d.

Don't you just love it when your first choice right back is unhappy and wants a new challenge, so both Madrid's and Barca come in with low ball offers, like 2/3rds of what he's worth and he gets the grump on for the entire season.

Even after you tell him you'll sell him if someone comes in with an offer above his value.

Grump is the spice of life! It's better than a release clause, anyway. 

[JamesVilla]

Just submitted my season. Quite pleased with the results to be fair. 

[broodje kip]

Vibers 29-30 Broodje Family

After a quite decent week, we finally managed to get a slight 1 point lead over Vibers. So now we are going with slightly different approach to see how well it’ll do next week.

@JamesVilla to get the highest miles in term of goals.

@Chris to get highest bonus.

@hhooo to get highest miles total

@George Traistă to get highest draw again 😂😂

@geordiekrispy to win the Bundesliga

@Kanegan to move this season

@Albionic to change all his 3 designated scorers

 

[George Traistă]

Is not fair!! 4 players already (me included) have finished the seasons so I can't make predictions... Or I can?

Up to you. You are the only person to know the results and if you want to be fair, there’s 3 others to predict. Or maybe you can predict something about @Rich? 👀

[George Traistă]

@Richwill be bribed this season but forget to who bribed him after a bad hangover

@Rich to give a season bonus about Monopoly instead of Ticket to Ride

@Rich wants to play TTR... in China!

 

@hhooo to get the highest draw

@Kanegan to not move this season

@geordiekrispy to win all trophies except one.

[Rich]

I’m sorry but all 3 are wrong, I am a very professional assistant!

How am I supposed to change my scorers? If I could that would be great, Sottil would have gone a long time ago!

also happy birthday @broodje kip!

[hhooo]

TTR in Asia would be awesome! 

 

Villa to get over 156 miles total

George to stay put this season

Chris to get highest draw 

Geordie to get highest bonus miles

Albionic to get the fewest regular goal miles

Kane to concede the fewest league goals

I don't remember what teams Kane and Albionic are at so don't be too surprised if my predictions are miserable!

No idea. I just got the feeling it’ll happen. Who knows what might be right?

Thanks btw
