Wondering what would happen if I still had Bony and say 3 other city players when he was transferred, what would happen with the game?
Surely someone had to have something like Aguero, Bony, Silva, and Yaya all on the same team?

It only applies next time you make a transfer. So you can keep them if you don't make any more changes.

Yeah I've been tinkering weekly, but last week over half my team was out injured. Had to use an emergency wildcard to fix it. I think since most had Fabregas, Sanchez and a Newcastle defender we all struggled with injury.

Bertrand, Costa, Siggy, all suspended. Fabregas injured, Yaya at ACN.. There were a few others that weren't terribly notable. Some other players playing weakly. Hanging on to Fabregas and Bertrand, hoping the former can play soon and no more than 1 of Fonte, Clyne, Ashley Williams, and Cresswell get injured/suspended.
It killed me to have to take off Chadli though. I wanted him and Eriksen, but Kane is so red hot and taking out Lloris would be stupid. Swapped him for Downing who is also doing well.

If a player is transferred to another team in the Barclays Premier League, and this transfer takes you over the 3 players per team limit, then you will need to go back under the limit when making your next transfers.

I assume that means that they'll be fine and accrue points until the next time you make a transfer, and then you'd be forced to take one of them out.

God I hope Emre Can has a small dick. Some kind of redeeming feature, anyway.

Also well done to Côte d’Ivoire. A final between them and Ghana would be the best to hope for, really.

I really wanted Gudjohnsen to knock Liverpool out. That would have been hilarious.

The power of Gerrard's birthday is unstoppable. It can even make Coutinho able to score.

I wonder, who has the best birthday record in the EPL?

Gerrard's birthday is on FA Cup Final day.

Oh yeah it is.
But even then, you get a lot of comments about key players winning/scoring on their birthdays (and managers as well for that matter), so it's a valid question.

I guess so. Be a nightmare to factcheck though.

AFCON semi-final between Ghana and Equatorial Guinea suspended for 30 minutes, Ghanaian fans evacuated from the ground, match finally underway again.

EDIT: And despite the match being suspended on 82 minutes, they only played three minutes of stoppage time and ended the game. Meaning a major semi-final lasted all of 85 minutes.

That's ... pretty poor tbh.

That's the story of the ACoN so far, at least as far as Equatorial Guinea is concerned. Their last match was a debacle, too.

More than poor. That's appalling.

That Merseyside derby was the worst one I can remember. Drab and lifeless, 1 small brawl aside.

And yet it'll still be second or third on MOTD.
Also, I bring in Cahill to get what seem like 9 assured clean sheet points against Villa, and then Villa just had to go on and end their drought.

Took my captaincy off Kane and gave it to Oscar because I assumed Chelsea would flattened Villa (sorry Os) and Arsenal would twat Spurs but not keep a clean sheet.

Same here (Kane to Aguero).

I went Cazorla to Aguero which is an improvement on scores, but should of gone Kane, just didn't think he'd do too much against Arsenal.

[Forsher]

Arsenal are obviously going to beat Chelsea when they play them again. They lost by less to Spurs and beat Villa more convincingly.

Seriously, though, I wasn't expecting Arsenal to lose (I thought, perhaps, 2-2) but, luckily, I don't do fantasy or put money on sporting outcomes so I only get the indignity of being wrong.

Leicester have sacked Nigel Pearson. Perhaps related to his bizarre behaviour towards James MacArthur yesterday?

Someone wasn't paying attention to the narrative, clearly

Bloody narrative spoiled our Derby day.
