Of which, none of them have scored a house point for us yet 😭

We'll take all three!

 

Kidding... As tempting as it is to continue bullying you nerds, we need to be more strategic.

Official Hufflepuff Business!

@hhooo has sold Denzel Dumfries to @StuartM for Alex Sandro and 12m Galleons.

@StuartMis dipping into his Gringotts account to say goodbye to Samir Handanovic. Replacing him is PSGs Donnaruma.

@hhooo will purchase a new defender to replace the rickety old Alex Sandro, who is worse for wear upon inspection. In comes Achraf Hakimi.

Finally, the perennially underperforming Dusan Vlahovic has made a polyjuice potion with some hair he found in the Chelsea dressing room. When he looked in the mirror he was the spitting image of Romelu Lukaku!

Oh wow. Surely it’s going to be THREE house cups in a row. You two are like the Vibe version of Cedric Diggory - impossible to dislike, yet is surely the schools ‘official’ champion.

Season 3/Year 3 Targets

Spoiler

Tiebreaker:

• GK: Goals Conceded -> Appearances -> AvR
• DEF: Appearances -> AvR
• MID: Goals scored -> Appearances -> AvR
• ATT: Goals scored -> Assists -> Appearances -> AvR

 

Spells & Potions

Only 1 student bid for the Time-Turner, hence @broodje kip will own the Time-Turner for one season after paying 36m.

As always, each Student can buy one spell/potion, while Students from the same house cannot buy the same spell/potion. 

• Expecto Patronum / Patronus Charm
  • Cost: 20m
  • Effect: Protection against Dementors (Details below)
• Ridikkulus / Boggart-Banishing Spell
  • Cost: 30m
  • Effect: Halved a selected Player's score
• Transfiguration
  • Cost: 30m
  • Effect: Swap places with a selected player (Example: You choose to cast it on an opponent's attacker. The attacker ended up in 1st place, while your attacker was in 7th place. The 2 players will swap positions meaning that it will be your player in 1st while he's will be in 7th place.)

 

Annual Special Event - Dementors! 👻

A murderer had escaped from Azkaban, and could be hiding in Hogwarts. Dementors are patrolling the school, feeding on human's happiness and soul!

• Throughout Season 3/Year 3, whenever your player's team lose 3 consecutive league game, he will be attacked by Dementors and his score will drop by 1. 
• When purchasing Expecto Patronum/Patronus Charm, you need to select one of your player to protect. He won't be affected by Dementors, regardless of how many games he lost.

@Rob Do you want to inherit @vizardjr's team or do you want to start fresh with 200m?

Let’s go with his team as three of them are players I often buy on FMm (and I don’t have an active laptop to transfer save files to my iPad).

You probably will have to replace 2 of them next season anyway, Andre Onana might be relegated with Palmeiras (unless Man Utd somehow manage to do worse than them, which is quite likely considering the previous 2 seasons 😂) and Karim Benzema is probably going to retire soon

Hogwarts : Battle of The Houses

Season 3 Half-Season Update

League

Looks like Man City will win their 3rd consecutive League title, while Milan is in danger of relegation. It's also a shock seeing Man Utd above Barcelona and Dortmund!

 

Season Targets

Note that the score below haven't take into account spells/potions or points loss due to the Dementors.

GK

Not much surprise to see Ederson on top again, the only difference is that he represents Slytherin now.

 

DEF

All 3 PSG players in the Top 3, they must have been playing some aggressive football to receive so many red+yellow cards.

 

MID

Another PSG player on top, Mason Mount tops the table after providing 7 assists, while Bruno Fernandes was surprisingly poor having provided only 2 assists so far.

 

ATT

Lautaro Martinez was the only player to have a gain in player value while the rest suffer badly especially @LordArezo's new signing Kylian Mbappe.

 

As it stands, here's the House Ranking so far:

1. Slytherin 145pts
2. Ravenclaw 125pts
3. Gryffindor 65pts
4. Hufflepuff 45pts

Could this be the year where Hufflepuff finally fail to win the House Cup? 👀

 

Spells & Potions

1. Expecto Patronum : 25m
2. Ridikkulus : 35m
3. Transfiguration : 35m

 

Outgoings

@LordArezo : Robert Wagner (loaned) (no replacement needed)

Interesting!

A question for you @Kun Aguero - Fati is on loan). While he’d get no points for individual nor team performances (as those performances are outside this league), can he get points for rise/fall in player value, because (1) that’s not performance related, (2) will start + end the season back at his home club (Barcelona). Am just asking 🙂

Since the 2 GKs on loan didn't get points, Fati will also not get any point as well

Looks like it might actually be our year this time?

Slytherin look like they have a lead which can only increase. 

Spoiler

• GK = Ederson for sure is #1 ➡️
• DF = red-card magnet Ramos in 3rd is unlikely to drop down, yet could easily climb up to 1st or 2nd 🔺
• MF = Mount for sure is # 1 ➡️ 
• ST = this is the most uncertain, but Adeyemi will likely stay #2, with Benzema a possible entry into the top 3 🔺 ➡️ even if Adeyemi falls into #3 or lower, Benzena will rise into #3 and that’s enough points to still win 

Only variable is spells and the dementor, but I guess whoever had them would have targeted the double-winning Puffs? 😞 

[Kun Aguero]

Season 3 results sonn!

Some spoilers ahead... 👀

Hogwarts: Battle of the Houses

Season 3/Year 3 Results

League

Man City won the league again, while Barcelona barely escape relegation!

 

Season Targets

Note that the following scores are after spells/potions and the effect of Dementors.

GK

@Titjes's Ederson was the winner in this one, HOWEVER @broodje kip bought the Transfiguration Spell to swap positions with Ederson, hence it will be Alejandro Iturbe claiming the 50 points.

 

DEF

@LordArezo's Marquinhos won quite comfortably with Cesar Azpilicueta and Achraf Hakimi completing the Top 3.

 

MID

@Titjes's Mason Mount top this one, with 2 Ravenclaws behind him.

 

ATT

Another "Top of the table" for @Titjes, he could be winning 3 out of 4 leaderboards if @broodje kip didn't cast the Transfiguration Spell on him! 😬

 

Dementors

Following is the list of how many "3-defeats-in-a-row" each team have. Not a big surprise to see Barcelona having 3 of that, after finishing 17th.

Spoiler

• Man City 0
• Real 0
• PSG 1
• Chelsea 1
• Bayern 2
• Juve 1
• Inter 1
• Man Utd 2
• Dortmund 0
• Palmeiras 1
• Barcelona 3

 

House Standing

For the first time in 3 seasons, Hufflepuff is finally knocked down from the throne with Ravenclaw winning it. An interesting part is that Slytherin would have won the league by 150pts if @broodje kip didn't use the Transfiguration Spell!

The nerds win the house cup finally

[Titjes]

Lol, sucks that spells can be used on players that already had a spell used on then 🤷😅

[Kun Aguero]

Hufflepuff had completed all their business, Gryffindor is next to purchase. 

@LordArezo Since @Gbuyiro Samuel haven't come online for a week, you will be able to use his funds.

[Kun Aguero]

It's now Slytherin's turn to purchase 

[Kun Aguero]

Harry Kane joins Slytherin as Karim Benzema's replacement.

It's now Ravenclaw's turn to purchase.

[DanEnglish]

Messrs. Kip and English proudly present … “the Ravenclaw Reinforcements”

• GK - after losing Ederson last season, Messr. Kip purchases new equipment, bringing in Liverpool’s Alisson (41.5m + 20m).
• DF - as a replacement for the retiring Azpilucueta, Messr. English brings in wing back Cancelo (64m).
• ST - after losing Mbappe last year, Messr. English procures polyjuice (30m), with young star Fati transforming into the new Viktor Krum …

Just one thing tho, you have 29.9m left after buying Cancelo, that means you're 0.1m short from purchasing the Polyjuice Potion

I thought I had £103.9m = 93.9m budget PLUS another 10m retirement compensation. Have I misunderstood?

Edit - @broodje kip - how about swopping midfielders with you providing me with an undisclosed transfer fee (*cough* 0.1m). It seems you do love Bellingham almost as much as you love Barella! Confirmed?
