Paid Members Carbomb Posted June 9 Paid Members Posted June 9 6 hours ago, Tamura said: Obviously I'm not aware of what kind of lifestyle his wife and two kids are used to, but I am aware of what salary he was on. For the three years he was at Man Utd he was on £7,800,000 a year. Obviously 45% of that is lost in income tax, and he has an agent to pay and suchlike. But prior to Man Utd he'd been playing senior football at the top level for 12 years, so you'd think he'd have earned a few quid over the years too (I really can't be bothered to find out his salary over the course of his career, but let's agree it's reasonably high?). And he's still currently on a reported gross salary of €3.5 million at Wolfsburg. So all in all, unless his family are accustomed to eating Salt Bae's Golden Tomahawk steak every meal you'd have to think they aren't going to be poor if Erikssen decided to retire now especially as you'd hope he might have made some long-term financial plans after his first health scare surely? Absolutely. I'm not saying it's a rational fear, just that that might be the motivation behind him continuing to play, rather than selfishness, necessarily. Quote

Glenryck Pilchards Posted June 10 Posted June 10 I apologise in advance for ruining your productivity for the rest of the week: https://38-0.app/game The premise is simple, randomly draft a team and win the league with a 100% record. The best I've got so far was 30-4-4. Quote
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted June 10 Paid Members Posted June 10 (edited) 🏆 CHAMPIONS — my all-time top-flight XI won the title with 102 pts (33-3-2) featuring Roy Keane. Can you top it on 38-0? https://38-0.app/r/f2zS3PQL Scrap that. This is my best. Edited June 10 by Lion_of_the_Midlands Peter Beardsley. Quote

Paid Members Carbomb Posted June 10 Paid Members Posted June 10 https://38-0.app/r/WmOboiHD My best so far. This could be worse than that custom 2048 game that had us all worried about ever seeing @johnnyboy again. Quote
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted June 10 Paid Members Posted June 10 Discovered this game a few days ago after it went a bit viral. It's a fun time killer. Here's my best effort yet. Championes! Quote

Paid Members Carbomb Posted June 10 Paid Members Posted June 10 Fucking hell, this is addictive. Tried to go for the most 90s team I could, and did pretty well. https://38-0.app/r/Nw4vzLcL Quote
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted June 10 Paid Members Posted June 10 The game does seem to love a shit Southampton or Watford side. I seem to roll an inordinate amount of those. Also confused about how far back the squads go, 90% of the time it's from 2015 onwards, yet I have had one as early as 1994. Quote

If you look at the scrollbar before you start drafting you can select which PL seasons you want to use Quote
