[Mangolana]

The following Mangolana players are up for sale by their respective clubs through either transfer requests or clubs trying to cash in on their stars. For those who also need the info, Mangolana soccer/football players age 4 years for every world cup.

Benjamin Clucke - Central Midfielder/Defensive Midfielder - 27 yrs old - Entering the prime of his career, Benjamin handed in his transfer request at defending Mangolana Premier League Champions Mangolana City. Due to Mangolana transfer rules, Benjamin cannot leave his club until the conclusion of the UICA Champions Cup. Benjamin is looking for a club in an top 30 UICA league Mid table club or a top club in a top 40 UICA league. The club is seeking a fee of 2.5 million dollars for the transfer while Benjamin is looking for a three season deal. Any specifics can be discussed in negotiations.

Harold Tyler - Forward - 22 yrs old - A bright star for Mangolana soccer. At only 22 years old Harold is one of the brightest prospects for the Mangolana national team over the next few world cups. Arsenrall has listed him for transfer to cash in on his young age and the bright future that many think he will have. They are seeking a fee of around 5 million dollars for the deal while Harold is looking for a deal with a upper table club that will regularly make UICA competition. The deal would be around 4 seasons with an option for a fifth.

Steven Hart - Central/Right Midfielder - 22 yrs old - Following Soccoroo's early exit from the Globe Cup, young star Steven Hart has given the club his formal transfer request to club management. They do not want to sell the player and they will be requiring a high price for Steven's services. Rumors have put the price at a Mangolana record 9.5 million dollars. Steven wants to go to a Champions Cup contending club for a 4 season deal and will be looking for the best club to fulfill these needs.

As I will not be able to make the NSTransfer IRC deal on Saturday, any offers should be sent by TG to Mangolana. All players can be offered deals but I will be trying to limit one player per nation unless an unbelievable offer becomes available.

[Gregoryisgodistan]

All players on the GSAZ national team roster are for sale, although none of them are very good. TG me if interested. Additionally, all players on the Gregoryisgodistan roster with real names (i.e. not number/letter sequences) are for sale, though the price would be much higher for them than for GSAZ players. Once again, TG me if interested.

Also, because they are Gregoryisgodistani citizens still, you cannot change their names.

[Commerce Heights]

All players on the GSAZ national team roster are for sale, although none of them are very good. TG me if interested. Additionally, all players on the Gregoryisgodistan roster with real names (i.e. not number/letter sequences) are for sale, though the price would be much higher for them than for GSAZ players. Once again, TG me if interested.

Also, because they are Gregoryisgodistani citizens still, you cannot change their names.

But UICA competitions require players’ names on the backs of their shirts, and prohibit players from displaying political messages…

[Apox]

Right, I've got a couple of managerial vacancies which need filling:

Dwile Warriors:
Looking for a very experienced manager from a top nation. They need to have plenty of international or domestic experience (or both).
Dwile is the biggest club in Apox, having won a record 5 titles and 3 Marshall Cups in the 14 seasons the ANL has been running.

Miners '47:
With Issington F.C pinching their manager, the Miner's are looking for a new manager. One of the minnows of the top tier, and generally in constant danger of relegation, they'll probably be interested in a younger, more innovative manager from a broader spectrum of leagues.

[Zenic]

For the 6th UICA Transfer Window, the Zenic Federation of Association Football (ZFAF) and the Zenic Ministry of Sports have compiled a list of players on the national team who have been put on the market by their current teams. All of these players are very talented and would not mind a new home and club.

National Team Starters:

LB Leon Gaspare Rosso (#20, 25 years old, Cyflymder CP, 43 caps)
RF Sandro Michel Augustine (#73, 23 years old, U. of Keye, 13 caps) Sold to Universidad de Santanter of Felix for 10.5 million NSD

National Team Bench Players:

GK Hiroyama Sai (#0, 26 years old, Deportivo Proctor City)
CB Lee Chan (#2, 20 years old, Cyflymder CP, 5 cap) Sold to Eretium AC of Western Borderlands for 6 million NSD
CB Xavier Marshall (#6, 24 years old, Coohen City FC, 3 cap)
LB Thomas Marley Edu (#64, 23 years old, Academica Cote, 2 cap)Sold to FC Mineurs of Nova Anglicana for 3 million NSD
DM Paolo Jorge Camargo (#5, 28 years old, Academic Cote, 4 cap) Sold to Grimsby Town FC of Darvale for 8.8 million NSD
AM Alexi Romanov (#7, 21 year old, Cyflymder CP, 7 cap) Sold to Oceania of Felix for 6.5 million NSD
F Felix Peer (#50, 27 years old, Coohen City FC, 1 cap)

You may contact the Federation and/or Ministry via Telegram and/or IRC if you stumble upon our Deputy Minister of Sports De Luciano in the chat.

[Nova Anglicana]

There aren't any more specific Nova Anglicans up for transfer, but if you're interested in someone from the national team, don't hesitate to give me a ring via TG and I'll let you know. Nova Anglican teams, however, are going to be heavily in the market to replace some of their players that went out or to make additions to be more competitive in the NAFL or UICA competitions. I may or may not be on IRC for the transfer window, so if you have players you definitely want to shop, TG Nova Anglicana. Teams and needs listed below:

Sovereign Division (Top Level):

Heartwood FC: Heartwood finished with a mediocre 21 points from 22 games, their porous defense (48 goals) the main culprit. They have a new manager, who is committed to improving the back line. With the loss of young defensive midfielder Cesár Mártinez to the McKleighvian league, they're looking to add some serious defensive help in front of goaltender Thomas Barnett, and if they can save some money on the defensive additions, they will look for a creative player to bolster an attack that ranked 8th in the league. Needs include a strong central defender and a defensive midfielder to play in a 4-2-3-1 system. They are not averse to adding depth-level talent, and veterans and younger players alike are welcome. They have a good amount to spend, but not a ton. They can't add star-level talent, but solid first-division players or rising stars from good second divisions are a good bet.

Added DM Cam Fletcher, 22, from FC Alaer (KYP). $2.5 million.
Added DEF Markus Lazarev-Horak, 22, from St. John's Arsenal (RKQ). 2 yrs/$7 million.
Added MC Oscar Olsson, 25, from Novaya Sibir Reds. £3 million

Isca Town FC: Flush with some cash from selling national team up-and-comer Kyle Fleming, Isca Town wants to acquire an attacker (winger, CAM, or striker) and a defender to avoid falling back into the Yeoman Division (they avoided relegation by one point last year). Not as much to spend as Heartwood, so they're looking for either cheap youngsters or veterans willing to take a bit of a pay cut to keep playing.

Acquired Tony Powell, ST, 24 Years Old, from Fairbanks Royals FC, Darvalian First League. 3 yrs/$3 million.
Acquired Grant Townsend, CB, 33, from Honeybadgers (Eura). $1.5 million.

Vinovium United FC: They sold their attacking midfielder Emmanuel Moga to Sparta Torspeda of the Buyanese League, and added Brian McDaniel, a veteran keeper from McKleigh. They've made their defensive upgrade, so they're looking to spend their remaining cash on a creative playmaker to replace Moga. They have a decent amount to spend, but they're probably looking to sign a second division player from a good league who wants to jump to a first division club.

Added Ellis Moray, CM, 23, from Mainstream Fist (Nephara). $1.2 million.

Archbishop FC: This proud club dropped down to 6th in the league last year after finishing 3rd and 2nd the previous years. They're pretty ticked off at not being part of the inaugural Nova Anglican participation in UICA competition and getting knocked out on away goals in the Nova Anglican Cup Round of 16. They dropped too many points in draws last year, and want to add goal-scoring punch to pull away from teams. Whether that comes in the form of midfield or forward help, they don't care. The team is willing to shell out some pretty serious cash and will be looking for a player from a UICA top-32 league.

Added ST Axel Svenßon, 27, from Sporting Volker (Felix). $10 million.

FC St. Martin (rejoining Sovereign Division after dominating Yeoman Division): Looking for a good offensive player to back up the duo of veteran striker (and former NT player) Boyd Phillips and U20 and Olympic team forward Rolf Pitre. $3-5 million to offer.

Added LM Hallvarður Gundersen, 27, from Marylebone Esprit (TFI). $3 million.

Yeoman Division (Second Division):

Lumberjacks FC: This club won the Yeoman Division and earned promotion to the Sovereign Division, then finished a surprising sixth in their first season there. They simply fell off a cliff last season, winning just one game and finishing with 12 points to be relegated. They want to get back into the bigger-money Sovereign Division, and want a good attacking player to bolster their inconsistent offense (scored ten fewer goals this year). If they can save a little money, they are also targeting a veteran keeper to provide some stability for a young back line.

Added GK Bikendi Tosell, 36, from KT Itzalovalle (Audioslavia).
Added FW Tormas Apulainen, 25, from AC Holmenkollen (Cosumar). $3 million.

Fisherman's FC: They got some cash from selling their young defender Casey Bowman to Trojana Condommakers of the Royal Kingdom of Quebec, and want to spend that cash to improve their team and make a bid for a Series B Champions' Cup spot. If they can acquire a superb defender, that player will be their only addition, but if they spend a bit less on a defender, they would also like to add a decent attacking player, placing a premium on the ability to keep possession and make good passes.

Added CB Aron, 25, from Crystal (Dainer). $1.5 million.

FC Mineurs: Mineurs lost their attacking fullback Bradley Lancaster to the same Trojana Condommakers. They finished fourth in the league and made it to the 2nd round of the SBCC, and want to continue that success. Ideally they would be looking for a similar young fullback who is a good two-way player. They don't mind having to do a bit of coaching if it means they get a more talented player in exchange.

Filled by LB Thomas Marley Edu, 23, of Zenic. 3 yrs/$3 million.

Londinium County FC: County made a cool million from selling Chris Hodges to Florgania's Lauerton FC, so they've got a little money to spend for a replacement player. Hodges was more of a target man, so County are looking for a similar player: young, tall, and strong, who can play in a two or three-forward system. Good passing skills a plus.

Added CF Jage Jordan, 21, from Nellis Port (KYP). $2.5 million.

Shepherds FC: Shepherds surprised the league by finishing 3rd, and then surprised the nation by making to the 3rd round of the Series B Champions' Cup, where they were unceremoniously dismissed by Earent's Buzhrumpus GU 5-1 on aggregate. Shepherds made some money from hosting SBCC games and the owner is willing to open up the checkbook a bit if it means sustained success. They have a strong defense, but a poor attack, so they are looking for a cheapish, young, attacker who wants to play a lot.

Diego Caracu, 18, added from Selecaõ Sharks (university), NSI
Added Damiaõ, 21, from Sunrice Saint-Raptors, NSI

[Jeckland]

"Jeck, Mortsey made the Champions Cup group stage."

• Marlon Fowler | 27 Years Old | Dayton FC | CRB | National Starter

  Sold to FC Alaer (The Kytler Peninsulae), for 5 Million NationStates Dollars

Other Darvalians moving to foreign leagues

• Athletic Teviera FC | RB/RWB | 3-8.5 Million NS$
  With Jerome Dawson signing a contract with Loderno Inferno, of Jeckland, Athletic Teviera FC are in need of a new right-back, although the club has mentioned that they will be accepting any offers that come to them.

• Fairbanks Royals FC | CM/CAM, CS | 6-14 Million NS$, 8-15 Million NS$
  With two key players that lead this club to a remarkable second place in the 3rd edition of the Darvalian First League on the market, Fairbanks Royals FC are looking for a central midfielder (preferably a national substitute), to replace Callum Ramsey, and a striker (also preferably a national substitute), to replace Tony Powell.
  Filled by Ryan Dawson (CM, Vyktory), for 9 Million NationStates Dollars
  Filled by Hugo Rademaker (CS, The Kytler Peninsulae), for 3.4 Million NationStates Dollars
• Astaria United FC | RB | 2-8 Million NS$

Porter FC has struggled recently and Pantra wants to compete in a competitive league with a chance at UICA competition before his career ends.

M: Peter Fisk, 26, Lambridge FC, Asking Price: NSD 13 Million National Team
Fisk, also a member of the Florganian National team is looking for a way out of Lambridge, who is on the verge of relegation.

[Chiata]

Chiata Football Association

International Football Transfers

Available Players:

Bill Rickers-CMF(Delta City Death)
Rickers is a starter on Chiata's National Team. He has talent at passing the ball to the right person at the right time. He plays more of a supporting roll and does not score too many goals. Delta City is a middle ground club in the Division I and Rickers would like to get into a squad that has a chance at some titles.Signed with Marlowes City FC, Greater Watford(GWA), for a fee of 15 m NSD

Carol Cherry-CMF(Jungleton Jaguars)
Cherry would like to move on from the Jaguars and plan in a foreign club to gain valuable experience. Cherry is a starter for Jungleton and helped lead the team to the farthest stretch in the Globe Cup in CFA history. Of course, the team she signs with will have to accept her gender. All teams in the CFA are mixed gender and Cherry wants the same in her future team.

Sammy Swade-ST(Point de Clu Clash)
Swade would like to get away from the sinking ship that is Point de Clu. Despite his best efforts, the Clash was relegated to Division II. Swade is a starter for the Chiata National Team and has been on the roster since Baptism of Fire 52. Swade is some what of a ball hog but makes up for it with his impressive amount of goals. Signes with Michael's Bay FC, The Icemark, for a fee of 18.5 m NSD

Rob Retob-CFB(Southing Sailors)
Retob is a very talented defender, a position which is taken with pride in Chiata. Retob would like a team that is defensively based, preferable with another good defender he could learn from.

Clubs Seeking Players:

River End Rhinos
River End needs a good Center Midfielder that can step right in a be a leader. The Rhinos lack a strong leader on the pitch and believes that a good midfielder will allow them to find success in Division 1.

Villitova SC
Villitova was recently promoted to Division 1. They will take almost any player and will likely want to sign more than one international. Money is not a problem and Villitova hopes that its additions will give it a fighting chance in not being relegated back to Division II.

Delta City Death
Delta City lacks a good striker. They want to sign a forward who can score in one-on-one situations and lead a strong attack.

Gulf Coast Gold
Gulf Coast made a terrifying drop in the Division 1 standings, going from 2nd in Season 3 to 8th in Season 4. The club believes that this was due to poor goal keeping and will hash out big bucks for any keepers looking for a top team. Signed Reggie Descormolo (Goalkeeper, 19 years old) from St Albans City FC, Greater Watford(GWA), for a fee of 7 m NSD.

[Cosumar]

These members of the Cosumar National Team are still seeking overseas homes!


Most of the starters are quality, talented players and will demand to be on quality top-flight teams from leagues of some repute, and will also fetch higher prices than the subs. This, of course, can vary depending on factors such as age. The subs may be more willing to sign with struggling clubs in well-respected leagues or good clubs from lesser-known leagues.

Please communicate all inquiries via TG.

---

STARTERS - available for transfer

Left Back - Jukka LINDROOS (21)
Lindroos is the latest Cosumarite youngster to be hyped by the media as a key piece of the national team's future. He was a star at collegiate soccer powerhouse Slivelle Academy, leading them a Runners-up finish two years ago. He then signed his first professional contract with the Centus Serpents here in Cosumar and has, quite frankly, dominated. He feels he needs the challenge of foreign talent to continue growing as a player. World Cup 69 Qualifying was his international debut, yet he shined as the most consistent member of the Cosumarite back line despite being the youngest. His boyish face and long, golden locks have charmed the media, but do not be fooled, he is a ruthless player on the field. He is quite mature and seasoned for his aged. Very skilled, brings a jolt of energy whenever he steps on the field. Promising future. Still improving each time he steps out on the pitch.

Center Back - Kirum MORTONSSON (26)
Dashing model/footballer Mortonsson recently completed his second season with Cosumarite defending champions Ramusok United. He and National Team goalkeeper Tomi Koskinen were part of a formidable defensive machine that shut down even the league's top attacking teams. However, as an iconic celebrity here, he wants to try to expand his "brand" overseas. He is sure to become a fan-favorite and sell lots of jerseys. He had a decent showing in World Cup 69. He looked good against most teams but was exposed against top teams like The Archregimancy and Farfadillis. Though his biggest fans are often teenage girls (and as such, he is jokingly heckled by the sports media), he is supremely athletic and finds ways to make big stops when the team needs it the most. He can be hotheaded at times and make poor decisions resulting in yellow or red cards.

Right Back - Tae Woo MIYORI (29)
Miyori possesses great speed, quickness and ability to play both sides of the ball. He is also known as a phenomenal passer. Miyori had a spectacular debut as a youngster in World Cup 67, and fully embraced the limelight in World Cups 68 and 69. Truly in his prime, he is considered by many to be the heir to the likes of William Riley and Alexander Pearce as "the next great Cosumarite defenseman". Miyori spent the past several seasons at Klyde FC in Cosumar, but is looking for a change of scenery. He likes to drift forward more than most right backs and be utilized as part of the attack. Can also play as a defensive midfielder.

Defensive Midfielder - Dean Harold MCSAUNDERS (27)
Once an obscure reserve for a few obscure teams, McSaunders rose up out of nowhere four years ago without breakout performances in the Harlighet Ligan for Kaldukosic FC after several of their midfielders went down injured and they loaned him out of desperation. It became a viral story in Cosumar: the story of the relatively unknown player exploding into fame out of seemingly nowhere. Since his ascension, McSaunders has maintained his great play as a consistent starter with Kaldukosic FC, earning recognition as one of our best midfielders in this generation. He can play any midfielder position (he was a substitute as Center Attacking Midfielder in WC68), though he fits best as a Defensive Midfielder our 4-2-3-1 regime. Despite lackluster speed/strength, and seemingly average ball skills, McSaunders is simply a winner, frequently finding creative ways to outwit and outmaneuver supposedly "superior" opponents. He just has some sort of unidentifiable "it" factor and proved in World Cups 68 and 69 that he can hold his own against the World's top talent. Wants to move to one of the top leagues to "prove himself".
Signed with Vijallu of Estenia ($12 million)

Defensive Midfielder - Vareza NA'NONI (24)
The sole Vloo (homo cosumarensis, blue-skinned human-like species native to Cosumar) member of the Starting XI, Na'Noni can play almost any midfield position due to his ability to read the game, strong ball skills, and imposing physique (tall, muscular, fast). He made a name for himself as a CAM for Cosumar's U-21 team, which catapulted him into the Harlighet Ligan, where he converted to defensive midfielder with FC Samotath. He is looking to leave FC Samotath due to the club's unwillingness to invest in becoming a serious contender. Na'Noni is known for his tattoos, including a detailed patterns of constellations across his arms, a roaring dragon on his neck, and an elaborate sunset on his forehead. He was highly impressive in World Cup 69 and figures to be a cornerstone of Cosumar's future.
Signed with Red Star Severny of Polar Islandstates for an undisclosed fee

Right Attacking Midfielder - Francois RENAULT (32) (CAPTAIN)
Renault debuted in Cosumar's domestic league (Harlighet Ligan) eight seasons ago with Cassandra City, which has made a few Globe Cup appearances in large part due to him, and remained there since as longtime Team Captain. He recently announced he has played his final season with Cassandra City, and will sign with a foreign club for a new challenge "before he's too senile" after World Cup 69. He was a vital part of the Dragons' campaigns in the last two World Cups, and was the second-leading goal scorer in WC68 Qualifying and CoH 60. He had two goals and seven assists in World Cup 69 and will captain the team in Cup of Harmony 61 due to Sur Arora breaking his leg in the playoff. Though he has struggled with aging and some injuries recently, Renault is still a valuable veteran presence and team leader. He's slowed a bit but is still quite fast, and he's still savvy around the goal and has enough left in the tank for a few more seasons at a high level.
Signed with Molsbik Arkjet of Semarland

Forward - Sergio VILAR (25)
Vilar was a breakout star last season for Harlighet Ligan club Olask Islanders. The Islanders had been on the brink of relegation for several seasons running, but an exceptional 30-goal season from Vilar rocketed them to the top half of the table for the first time in almost three decades. Vilar was not a starter for most of WC69 qualifying, but when starting forward and leading goal-scorer Sur Arora broke his leg in the playoff, Sergio Vilar replaced him and will continue as starting forward in the Cup of Harmony. He looked good against Farfadillis in his only full game as a starter. Provided he has a strong performance in the CoH, Vilar has a great shot at being named the Dragons' starting Forward for WC 70. Though Vilar is inexperienced, he clearly has a ton of skill (the ball is basically tied to his sock!) and is passionate about the game - a man possessed on the pitch. He's just now hitting his prime and has a ton of potential waiting to be tapped. He wants to play in a top league with a Manager known for developing young talent.
Signed with Levadia Narkiv of Estenia ($7 million)


SUBSTITUTES - available for transfer

Center Back - Jon-Perohlin NODTVEIT (26)
If there was ever an enigmatic and controversial footballer, it's Nodtveit. He is bald-headed but bears a thick black beard. Off the pitch he is almost always gruff and silent, hardly uttering more than a word or two in interviews. He is known to be a member of the Luciferian Satanist Order and was a suspect in a well-publicized murder case three years ago (though he was ultimately found innocent due to lack of evidence). Some despise him, but even more Cosumarites love his dark & dangerous allure. Though divisive off the pitch, he is universally recognized for his value on the pitch. When the match begins, everyone watching him forgets all that other stuff about him - that's how good he is. Nodtveit is the Dragons' "hard man", a defensive enforcer and ruthless tackler. Though he is not particularly skilled with the ball or particularly fast, he plays his role well. He was a frequent substitute at Center Back in World Cup 69 and is likely to be a starter in World Cup 70.

CAM/RM - Thomas TEVERRIDGE (33)
Teverridge is the leading assist man and longtime field general for Cosumar's Samaj FC, and has perpetually been a vastly underrated player due to his humble demeanor and tenure with a club in a remote area of Cosumar. However, Teverridge has quietly been one of the most productive players in the Harlighet Ligan for years and finally began to reap the rewards of his hard work in World Cup 68, which was his first World Cup after being excluded from the team at the last minute in the previous two. He wants to cash in on his WC68/69 success by signing with an overseas team where he might be more appreciated. Teverridge loves to snake his way through opposing defenses and is a sly player, with a knack for breaking through creases and getting open looks (or passes) out of nowhere. He is also a set-piece specialist. In World Cup 68, one of the highlights of Qualifying was his beautiful arching "olympic goal" on a corner kick. He also had another goal as a sub in World Cup 69.

Left-side attacking midfielder - Ole ÖHMAN (22)
Though his surname is a bit comical (Oh man... it's Öhman!), Ole is a well-known around Cosumar as the flashy young attack-minded midfielder for recently promoted Sekundar Ligan side Treftadaeth Alliance. Wants to prove himself in a highly-competitive league somewhere. Producing goals is what he does, and he does it well. Was very successful for the Cosumarite U-18 and U-21 teams and recently completed his first World Cup donning the colors for the senior team, though he did not get to play much. His only downside is that he lacks great speed/acceleration, although he's fantastic at most everything else. Could content for a starting spot when WC 70 comes around.
Signed with Lauerton FC of Florganian Standard League ($9.3 million)


CDM/CM - Eido NOLDOR (23)
69 was Noldor's first World Cup. He did not play much, only making a few appearances. However, when he did play, he made quite the impression with some flashes of brilliance (even scoring a goal). These impressive flashes in WC69 have resulted in swirling transfer rumors around his name. Noldor was an unheralded prospect coming out of the Cosumarite collegiate league from a small school. But in just three seasons in the Harlighet Ligan he has steadily improved his game and developed into one of the brightest young prospects in Cosumar. He is currently with Sekundar Ligan side Pelethas United, which is being promoted to the top flight next season, but is not happy there. Likely to have an increased role in World Cup 70, perhaps a starter by WC 71.
Signed with Frostmarris F.C of The Icemark ($6.4 million)

FW - Bruce SANCHEZ (22)
Young Mr. Sanchez will get his first international cap in this Cup of Harmony, thanks to Sur Arora's gruesome injury at the end of Qualifying. Bruce has a ton of potential, but has not yet realized it. He is a firey player with more than his fair share of natural skill and athleticism, but he relies too heavily on these things. He has not learned the finer points of the game and is not a great team player at this point in his career. He'll pull off some of the most brilliant goals you've ever seen, but he also takes way too many bad shots and you'll rarely hear an announcer praising him for a great defensive play or assist. Though he has been a fantastic player for Cassandra City in Cosumar, many think he needs to go overseas to develop into the player he could be.
Signed with Fairbanks Royals FC of Darvale ($7 million)

'tis the season to be transferring ... names are in surname-last name order, just switch 'em around if you use the Western style. All offers should be made via telegram or IRC.

---

Natsume Rin - Starfall - LB - 16

---

A regular starter for the Mizuyukian senior team at the tender age of sixteen, and the jewel in the dazzling crown that is the Starfall defence, who conceded the least goals in the entire league pyramid throughout their stellar campaign last cycle, a crucial cog in their ultimately successful push for promotion to the Arcadia Spirit League.

A pacy inverted wing back schooled the Mizuyukian way, Natsume's game is geared towards relentless attacking, something which she does very well - she was the second-highest contributor of key passes in the Ifrit Spirit League last cycle, and created a total of 17 clear cut chances over 2380 minutes. Strength and pace are two key weapons in her armoury, but she can be found wanting positionally, even though she does make up for her lack of positional awareness with her tireless running and bulldog-like attitude.

Given that she is first choice for both club and country, Natsume is looking to be assured of regular playing time at a title-challenging top-flight club, preferably in a top 30 association. Starfall do not need to sell, and with more than three years on Natsume's contract, they will be looking to get top dollar in exchange for her services. They could be persuaded to let Natsume go for a fee in the ballpark of $25 million.

Sold to Ayeville Pikachus of Northern Sunrise Islands for I$15 million.

---

Samejima Kira - Yukikawa Glaceons - CF - 19

---

A rugged, strong striker with no shortage of physical talent, Samejima was originally the darling of Mizuyukian football - at fourteen, he was scouted by national team scouts and a host of salivating agents after several promising showings with his local club's U15 side.

However, he declined several lucrative moves abroad in order to complete his education, although he did make his debut for the U15 side soon after and subsequently included in shortlists for the Di Bradini Cup. Snapped up at the age of seventeen by Yukikawa, Samejima played brilliantly for two seasons, and then suffered a drastic decline in form and fitness; which ensured that he has since been relegated to sparse appearances off the bench. Ever since Shirakiin Kurumi came along, he has found it difficult to make his mark on the national team, and he looks set to be on the fringes for some time to come.

A rotation option for Yukikawa, who play a single striker formation and can call upon the services of the more experienced Mitsui Akihiko. Is a top-notch finisher despite the fact that his style of play is largely underappreciated within Mizuyuki. Heads the ball strongly, and has that yard of pace which takes him past a covering defender, but his attitude and consistency may prove to be a problem. Going for a fee in the range of $9 million, and would be open to offers from mid-table top-flight clubs in a top 75 association.

Sold to Learton FC, the Icemark, for $9 million.

---

Ishibashi Tomoe - Horizon - CM - 17

---

Mizuyuki's answer to parked buses. The Horizon central midfielder, plucked from the ranks of her contemporaries by a particularly astute scout, has been one of the first names on the teamsheet for Shirakiin Kurumi for the past two cycles. Ever-present in midfield, she is a living metronome with superb vision and unparalleled distribution skills. Her on-the-ball attributes make for good reading, too - she's competent at dribbling and has a silky first touch. The only blot on her copybook would be her less-than-satisfactory energy levels and her inability to play for extended periods in a high-tempo game.

Her playing style is relaxed; languid, even. Versatility is something she has in bundles, being able to play all across the midfield, including in a creative role or on the flanks in a pinch. She is not afraid to shoot, and is even surprisingly decent at it; last cycle she mustered 10 goals from 52 attempts, finding her target 42.4% of the time. Defensively speaking, Ishibashi's strength and positioning leaves a lot to be desired, and she can be prone to errors when under pressure. When given the space and time to pick out a pass, however, she flourishes. Would prefer to make the move to a title-challenging top-flight club which suits her playing style in a top 20 association, and Horizon will be looking to recoup at least $35 million for the talented deep-lying playmaker.

---

Izawa Airi - Asuzono - FW - 17

---

The regular 20-goal-a-cycle striker that has been such an asset for Asuzono over the last two seasons, Izawa is capable of putting the ball in the net with astonishing regularity. She does not particularly stand out in any department in terms of attributes or traits, but she is more than competent enough to do the job - twenty-three goals last cycle with Asuzono in the top flight despite a lengthy period of injury proves her goalscoring pedigree. She was the first-choice striker for the Nova until Shirakiin swapped her out in favour of Kurugaya Miki this cycle; still plays as an impact sub from time to time, and is definitely the go-to player whenever Kurugaya is absent from the team.

Izawa has made it clear that she will not be renewing her contract with Asuzono despite their title ambitions, and will definitely be leaving - whether she will be departing when her contract expires or right now is still a question up for debate. Given that she only has eighteen months on her contract, Izawa could be going for a fee in the region of $20 million - but only to a title-challenging, top-flight club in a top 50 association where she will be guaranteed regular playing time.

---

Miyashiro Saki - Mikunimon Linebreakers - RW - 27

---

A squad player who has seen many appearances in recent cycles, Miyashiro is a medium-sized fish in a ... medium-sized pool. She has been plying her trade with the Linebreakers for the past eight seasons now, and is looking for a change of scenery.

A direct wide midfielder who loves to run at her opponents, Miyashiro plays a role that is so crucial to the Linebreaker's game - countering and delivering the ball into the box. With her team's use of a burly target man, Miyashiro has reveled in her role as provider and supplier, regularly crossing the ball from out wide for her striker to attack. She racked up an impressive number of assists - 14 - last cycle, thanks to the route one approach, and would like to play for a team which can accommodate her skillset.

She is willing to fill the role of a squad player - it is well worth noting that she can also fill in at right back if required - and will be allowed to leave for $10.25 million.

---

Shirane Luna - Mikan Wave - FW - 14

---

The bargain of the lot, Shirane is a promising young striker with a predilection for the spectacular. Only fourteen years of age, Mizuyukian football regulations prevent her from officially signing with a team until she reaches her fifteenth birthday, and as a result she is currently being assiduously courted by a host of Mizuyukian clubs with a view to signing a precontract.

A hungry, exciting striker with bags of technical talent and potential, Shirane looks set to become Mizuyuki's striker of choice in the future. Blessed with a delightful eye for goal and a wide variety of attributes that have allowed her to plunder 31 goals over the course of 38 matches in amateur leagues, the petite striker is undoubtedly the single most talented academy product that Mikan Wave's expensively assembled youth academy has produced. A weakness is her inability to challenge for the ball in the air, which, given her height, is understandable, while she can be found wanting in terms of physicality and athleticism at times.

Already being touted as a star of the future by pro scouts, Shirane was recently given her senior debut by Shirakiin during the Nova's final WCQ69 match against Evraim, where she provided a sublime assist for Ishibashi to score the winning goal. She is available to sign on a pre-contract right now - the compensation due to Mikan Wave can either be settled with or without a tribunal, but is expected to be in the ballpark of a measly $2.5 million.

Question: What is limit of different nations you allowed to do leagues for?

Question: What is limit of different nations you allowed to do leagues for?

Two leagues per user under UICA rules. But if you want to do leagues for a bunch of puppets and a multi-national league isn't interesting for you, you can always have a domestic newswire restricted to yourself and post the results of the leagues that shouldn't go under UICA regulations there.

For those of you who used the transfer spreadsheet for the transfer window, your feedback would be appreciated as to what you liked/didn't like, used/didn't use and ideas for what additions you'd like to see for the next transfer window. I've also added a stats sheet to the above link so you can see which clubs spent the most/least money etc, if that kind of thing floats your boat.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Some of us just came up with a proposal to augment the transfer window slightly now we have the big, fancy sheet, and I thought I should post it here so that everyone can see it and to open it up to a more formal, recorded discussion.

So, there had been discussions to lengthen the window slightly with the old sheet which hadn't really got anywhere, especially with the old sheet, the transfer window was more of an IRC based thing, with rumours and that going in IRC instead of the sheet.

However, with the new sheet being more of an all-encompassing document, in the most recent draw, IRC was mainly a haggling place over PM, with very little activity happening on IRC itself.

What I'm proposing, is perhaps extending the window to about three/four days long and have it being continuous. However, instead of having it focussed around IRC, it would be focussed more around doing transfers the old fashioned way; by TG. However, it would be better than the old fashioned way, as it would record all the transfers in one place, and also rumours and players who would be looking to transfer - as in the pre-window days, it was hard to find players to transfer between leagues.

In addition, to still add some of the excitement of the transfer window, there could perhaps by a short, one/two hour window at the end, where users TG the user running the window key players they might like to sell. Then, much like at the end of the last window, where Eura flogged off a past NT legend, a grand auction of sorts could occur. I don't know, I'm just spitballing.

The benefits of this window are though:
- Less of an intense window, allows people to think through transfers more.
- Less of the frivolous transfers (such as the transfers of various poultry to Baudelaire Tulips and the sales of players for rocks, fun as they were).
- More time for more transfers!
- More inclusive, as under the current system, if you miss a three-hour window, you'll feel like you'll miss out on the bulk of transfers for that window. Under this system everyone could take part.
- Removes the difficulty of trying to schedule a window that's convenient for people in many different timezones.

All righty then, have at it! Feel free to discuss whatever needs discussing.

Bar the last section to which I quite frankly do not have the power for, though I believe I could suggest people to save a major player for those last moments; I believe I'm all for it.

I'd say extending the window is a must anyways. Even to just 24 hours, it'd give everybody a chance to participate regardless of time zones.

Those of you with a certain propensity for coming up with new teams might want to take a gander at some of the team names and suffixes on show here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/fa-cup/results

A marvellous compendium of the weird and wonderful that far down the English league pyramid.
