Transfer Ban; No buying or selling any players so that no financial gains are made before the end of bans & no signing players so that others who followed squad distribution & limit rules will benefit from doing so.

Division 1: Goalkeeper of the Season

With three games remaining in our inaugural season, smaller (Bundesliga !) numbers in each division meaning less fixtures, having a goalkeeper that plays above his ability is a likely a key to success

Calling all Chinese mega-bisquillionaires ....

As the sun is about to set on the initial transfer ban window, just what is a manager to do ?

Attendance at the stadium after 1 game

In a  Game World where money is the only thing really missing, I thought was interesting to have a briefly look on the attendance at the stadium after an home match for all of us.

If you can easily find which team had the best/worst attendance between the 48 teams, you could wonder about which Division has the best average, so far.

The most attended Division is the 2nd with 192006 supporters and an average of 16000,5 per team.
1st Division gets the 2nd place with a crowd of 175625 and an average of 14635,4 per match.

4th Division gets the last place of the podium with 171336 persons and an average of 14278 heads per match.

3rd Division had 149790 fans and an average of 12482,5 per team.

The difference between the 2 extremity, Div.3 and Div.2, is more than 20% , why is in this way, I have no idea! :)

I´m quite confident to think that is too soon to understand how it will develop, so I invite everybody to  avoid to protest and accept the game, and your crowd, like it is. Is a game.

The King of Coke

Pablo Escobar is a Seagull!

DP91 this morning announced the arrival of Pablo 'The King of Coke' Escobar for a fee of just £46,000, an extraordinarily low fee for a man believed to be worth some $30,000,000,000bn an amount that dwarves the £30,000,000m budget believed to be available to sides within The LPF. In fact it is rumoured that Pablo is making some $420,000,000m every week.

Seagulls in Flight

Sky Rocket in flight; Seagulls flight or plight?

DP91 was today presented as the man to take on the task of dividing & conquering the so called 'Level Playing Field' footballs new league format which sees 48 teams from around Europe pilled together on the basis of equal terms, something which the continents media have been quick to slate.
