The only thing worse I can possibly imagine is firing a manger one season after winning the Champions League. Unthinkable.

Poor Chelsea.  The Ecstasy, then the Agony.

...On top of all that, those sum#####es fired Ranieri too!

The last five managers to win the EPL title have now all left their posts (albeit only 1 left on his own terms I think)...

Ranieri, Mourinho, Pellegrini, Ferguson, Mancini

Hi,

I've created a league in MLS Fantasy Soccer Manager called FBG.

Joining the league couldn't be easier. Simply use this link and you'll be added automatically after you've entered the game:
http://fantasy.mlssoccer.com/?autojoin-code=10855-2127.

You shouldn't need the league code, but just in case here it is: 10855-2127.

Enjoy the game!

serious question for you guys...

how much work is this? I'd love to participate, but I have no time/energy to update a team. plug-and-play for the season (or half-season) would work for me, but daily/weekly tinkering is too much.

It is as much or as little work as you want.  

The simplest way for me is to set it up once at the beginning of the season (maybe ten minutes) and then check once a week on a Friday (just looking for the obvious stuff of a guy hurt or suspended etc).  Probably 3 minutes a week total.

If you want to be good at it and scour the transfer market you can spend as much time as you want but with no money on the line I don't think any one gives too much effort.

The simplest way is my preferred method of forgetting I have a team around week four and finishing last.  I need to rope @gianmarco in to run the team for me. 

 
Heartfelt response on Claudio from The Special One.

He deserves the Leicester stadium to be named ‘Claudio Ranieri Stadium’. The most beautiful thing in the Premier League and one of most beautiful in football history.

Now Leicester are in the highlights again with a decision that has everyone in football united. It’s very difficult to accept. It’s important to realize how football is and we need to react. I was sacked as a champion [by Chelsea], a giant negative as I thought – peanuts compared to Claudio.

And then there's Klopp:

What can I say? Am I surprised that things like this can happen? No. It is not only football.

For me there have been a few strange decisions in 16/17: Brexit, Trump, Ranieri. Do I have to understand it all the time - obviously not. I have no idea why Leicester did this.

 
[getting ready to duck for cover] leicester are in a death-spiral... if they're going to stay up, they need a major kick in the ###. :shrug:

I dunno... that would have worked in the past, but they changed the rules to allow for unlimited transfers this year.  That may make it easier for you to do that though as you can revamp the entire team when ever you have a chance to log in and check it out?

 
I'm sure someone's already mentioned it in this thread, but it looks like the Sounders are about to sign Keisuke Honda.

:rimshot:

Maybe a 4-2-2-2?

                   Frei

Evans  Torres Marshall  Jones

            Alonso   Roldan

     Honda                    Lodiero

              Deuce    Morris

That's straight fire.

A Honda Honda.

Serge Gnabry has two goals today for Werder Bremen, putting him at 10 for the season.  Arsenal let him go on a free (in fairness Serge wouldn't sign a new contract without assurances of playing time).  Arsenal then spent 17 million pounds to buy Lucas Perez, who is now looking to go after a year because of lack of playing time.   Shrewd stuff, guys.

Not sure how I feel about Turner Sports getting the Champions League rights starting in 2018, but I'm looking forward to David Luiz's appearances in "Shaqtin a Fool."

I feel like there is something else in play because from what little was announced today, it does not make much sense.  I feel this is a piece of bigger plan not yet clear.  Here are some random comments

* Turner is paying $60 million a year for just the English rights (Univision won the Spanish rights).  The $60m for the English rights alone is said to be a SIGNIFICANT jump in rates from the previous number Fox was paying for both the English and Spanish rights combined.

* Turner is going to have a create their soccer infrastructure from scratch since they have none.  The last real soccer game they showed was in the 1990 World Cup from Italy.

* When Turner enters the game, that gives 5 major broadcast players a piece of soccer as Turner will join Univision, NBC, ESPN and Fox leaving I believe only CBS as the loan major player with out a significant soccer property.

* Fox supposedly only offered a token bid to retain the rights.  That seems to indicate to me that they know what kind of revenue they can expect and that the Turner bid is so outrageously high, there has to be something else related else this is almost certainly going to be a money loser for them.

* MLS I am sure is paying close attention to this as they are about to enter year 3 of a 5 year TV deal and if Turner is getting ready to expand their soccer properties, they may very well get involved in the next round of bidding which should be in late 2018.
