I also brought JOHANNESSEN in to my team in my transfer melee this morning.
Butler has said he’s open to entering the NL cup, 5 others already declined “if there’s a grubby pound to be had our club will seek it.
We dont need them extra games with the thread bare squad we have.Probably not the most reliable source (Reddit – Sept 2024):
“NL teams will get £10k for participating.
£8k for a group win.
£4k for group draws.
£15k for knockout round wins.
£60k to winners.
£30k runners up.”4 group games, all at home v U21 teams.
QF, SF, FSo, if you are unlucky enough to play 4 and lose 4, then you only pocket the £10k participation fee.
Home team pockets all Att monies.We’ve no reserve or U18 team, so why not. A few might need game time?

If I knew how I’d post Tour De France by Kraftwerk, that would get the legs pedalling faster.

Stage 6 (Thurs 10th July) a 202km stage from Bayeux to Vire Normandie.
A difficult stage to call the winner – 6 categorised (1 x 4 & 5 x 3) climbs to ascend on the Normandy flatlands!
Theoretically, there are a few that have the ability to win it; however, the TdF isn’t an individual race, it’s a team event. Teams follow orders, protecting & assisting their team leader or specialist (dependant upon stage) in pursuit of the win.
The mighty POG is now in Yellow (& also polka & green) and has a commanding 42 sec lead over EVENEPOEL and he’s 59 seconds in front of third placed VAUQUELIN.
Bayeux born Kévin Vauquelin (age 24) is going to be highly motivated to win his ‘home’ stage and try to reduce his overall deficit to POG.
The Arkea team comprises 5 French and 3 Spanish riders – they (Arkea) are ‘planning’ on winning a stage, is today the day? If they can get a couple or 3 of their riders in a breakaway group then they may just do it.Vingegaard & Van der Poel aspire to make a similar move in order to try and claw back some of the time they lost in yesterday’s TT.
However, POG and his merry men will have their spotters, blockers and altruistic domestiques on point to ensure he retains yellow and his time advantages.
It has all the ingredients of a great stage!
Now I never knew that…
A good day at the office for me today. My guys collected 983 points and moved me up to 77th in the world in the fantasy game.
I had the 1st, 2nd & 8th placed riders today.
I picked up 96/100 bonus points for my guesstimation of the winning time. I went for 36mins 30secs – the winning time was 36:42… so I lost 0.3 pts per second of difference.
If only 2 of my riders hadn’t being brought down in two separate crashes whilst being serious contenders on day 3 – then I might have been right up there.
Oh well.
At the end of the day, we’d all love a Yashin, Banks, Zoff, Shilton, Schmeichel between the sticks.
We are where we are with the staff (players) we’ve got.
How are you going to change it?
Unless you can subsidise a ‘glory keepers’ wages – then you can’t.
Hence… support the young un!

OMG!
What happened?
Youth team used to beat them.
Jesus!
Stage 4:
4 of my 8 riders made the top ten today.
I had: 1st, 2nd, 6th & 7th
A good day on the roads for me – back up inside the top 200.
Yesterday killed me!
