Lukaku definitely. He has taken in Conte's tactics well, while Alcacer's Dortmund look like perpetual bottlers.

So chuffed this has been announced: Patryk Dziczek (21, 78) will join Lazio. I'm surprised if he doesn't get 83 now; only a question of if he goes even higher. http://www.sslazio.it/it/news/press-release-2/54932-comunicato-23-08-2019

AurelioDeLaurentiis (@ADeLaurentiis) Tweeted: Benvenuto al Napoli Eljif #ForzaNapoliSempre https://t.co/F1P3dfZmUb Eljif Elmas (19, 2.4m) joins Napoli in a deal believed to be worth £14.40m. Also worth watching out for is Kastriot Imeri (19, 0.36m) of Servette FC, who will likely replace Elmas.

Not sure if relevant since most of the list are 21 years old (not under 21), but here’s a Top 10 list of bargains for the summer. All cost no more than 1.00M. Players are ranked according to Expected Profit (when moved on immediately after Transfer Ban). Methodology: · 1 October 2019 was used as the Transfer Bans on these players would have expired (should you choose to buy any of them). This helps managers looking to buy and sell them quickly. · Expected Profits are all marked down (less than expected). The data assume the maximum possible wage incurred, which is unlikely. No. Name Age (as of 1 October 2019) Current Rating (Price) Expected Rating (Price) Expected Profit (After Wages) 1 Patryk DZICZEK 21 78 (1.00 M) 83 (2.40 M) 1.12 M (1.4 M – 0.28 M) 2 Bradley DE NOOIJER 21 77 (0.50 M) 82 (1.80 M) 1.06 M (1.30 M – 0.24 M) 3 Enea MIHAJ 21 78 (0.60 M) 82 (1.80 M) 0.96 M (1.2 M – 0.24 M) 4 Tomasz MAKOWSKI 20 73 (0.30 M) 80 (1.40 M) 0.86 M (1.10 M – 0.24 M) 5 Bartosz SLISZ 20 73 (0.30 M) 80 (1.40 M) 0.86 M (1.10 M – 0.24 M) 6 Denis DRAGUS 20 75 (0.34 M) 80 (1.40 M) 0.82 M (1.06 M – 0.24 M) 7 Ivan LEPINJICA 20 76 (0.36 M) 80 (1.40 M) 0.80 M (1.04 M – 0.24 M) 8 Giannis BOUZOUKIS 21 73 (0.38 M) 80 (1.40 M) 0.78 M (1.02 M – 0.24 M) 9 Daiki SUGA 21 77 (0.40 M) 80 (1.40 M) 0.76 M (1.00 M – 0.24 M) 10 Birk RISA 21 75 (0.40 M) 80 (1.40 M) 0.76 M (1.00 M – 0.24 M)

Getafe is overlooked, understandable since the race for Champions League is very tight. Olivera should get a +4 and Djene should get +2.

Keep for sure. He has not missed a minute of action in Ligue 1 and is linked to several big clubs.

Mepham and Kabak.

Havertz is still 89, but should rise soon.

Mamadou Loum stuck on 77.

Actually Itakura went to Man City. Loaned to Groningen instantly.

Calero has been linked to Arsenal. Playing for the joint-6th best defence in La Liga (better than both Barca and Real).

Sell, back to the bench now that Oczipka has returned. BTW, any reason why Mendyl (83) is worth the same as Zeki Celik (85), despite being 2 ratings lower?

Chester Move On 9 September 2018 21:30 Chester FC showed there was life after Loren Moron, dismantling Accrington Stanley in Sunday's clash. Six different players got on the scoresheet for the Division Five leaders. Chester made just one change to the winning eleven at Crawley and that move immediately reaped rewards. From kickoff, the ball was played wide to Rafał Kurzawa. Some quick passing with captain Fran Beltran saw Kurzawa play the ball to debutant Krzysztof Piątek. Piątek unselfishly played it to compatriot Łukasz Wolsztyński. This left Wolsztyński with an easy tap-in; Chester gained the lead after just 12 seconds. Another foray down the left nearly got Piątek a debut goal, but Adam Maxted in the Stanley goal showed strong hands to save. Indeed, Maxted kept the score respectable with some good goalkeeping. This, combined with Gedson Fernandes unluckily hitting the post, kept Stanley in this derby despite intense Chester pressure. The pressure eventually told as Chester got their second. More intricate passing between Fernandes and Stefan Gartenmann saw the latter play through to Zeki Celik. The right-back kept his calm to make it 2-0; Accrington's game plan was undone. Roused into action, Stanley almost got one back, but the post denied captain Pierre Mingoia. Unfortunately for the visiting fans, the comeback didn't endure. Once again, Chester carved open Stanley's defence with tidy passing and superb off the ball movement. With a number of blue shirts available for the pass, Fran Beltrán surprised the Stanley by shooting from range. From just outside the box, the shot had enough precision and power to give the young captain his second goal in two games. Piątek then searched for his goal, but Maxted denied him for the rest of the half. Following John Coleman's half time team talk, the visitors improved. Apart from young Callum Johnson, Maxted was afforded little protection by his back four. This naivete once again cost the visitors. A lapse in concentration from Seamus Connelly saw Giangiacomo Magnani break free. The Italian continued his superlative start, squaring for Gedson Fernandes to make it 4-0. Indeed, defensive errors began to creep in as the match wore on - a poor throw-in by Hamza Mendyl gave Accrington possession on the right flank. Érico Sousa's cross caused mayhem in the hosts' penalty area. In the ensuing scramble, Callum Johnson was able to play it to veteran Adam Mangan, who made no mistake. Normal service resumed in the 75th minute, as Rafał Kurzawa capitalised on slack Accrington marking to score Chester's fifth. Having assisted Kurzawa's goal, Beltrán continued to thrive late in the match. One of his precise passes played through Giangiacomo Magnani. With the defence in close attendance, Magnani blasted the ball. Maxted never got close to the Correggio native's shot. Chester had a late scare, but Offrande Zanzala's speculative shot rattled the post to conclude a miserable derby for the visitors. Accrington find themselves 15 points behind in the race for a play-off spot, while Chester remain first in Division Five. In Loren Moron, Chester have lost a definite legend, but may gain several more cult heroes from his departure. Nine of the eleven Chester players were involved in a goal. 🐘 says: Loren is gone. The stats speak for themselves - 32 goals and 15 assists in 17 appearances, 9.82 Average Rating, 17 Man of the Match awards. Yet a big cash offer for him was always going to be accepted for the sake of this club. Poor form in real life set this decision in stone. Following the arrivals of Beltrán and Piątek, we can settle down in terms of transfers (Albeit a new AML is needed after Kurzawa's departure). Our team is now full of more reliable big league talents; hopefully these can take us even further.

Giangiacomo Magnani (Sassuolo) - although rated 80 - is still an excellent bargain.

Chester FC Half-Time Report Fluttering Finances Finances are key to a successful football club. While Chester FC has been largely in the black, manager Steven Fox remains unsatisfied with investments in the playing staff. The main issue has been profitability, with the club making scant profit on some fringe players, even taking losses in a few cases. Wonderkids like Tom Van De Looi and Keanan Bennetts came and went, while the Nordic-heavy recruitment was also hit and miss. There were some notable successes, though. Alex Centelles made the LB spot his own, departing for a near 2 million profit. Strong performances also boosted Ross McCrorie and Victor Nelsson's valuations. Last but not least, captain Loren Moron's value has skyrocketed. Suitors from England and Spain are reported to have tabled lucrative offers for the Betis frontman, but Fox has chosen to hang on to his man. Fox has since allayed investor fears, investing in more recognisable talents from bigger leagues. Besting Port Vale to the signature of Porto's Diogo Leite was a notable highlight. Leite is one of many players slated to move Chester forward financially, including the man who is keeping him on the bench - Giangiacomo Magnani. More than an asset, the Italian made an instant impact, scoring a debut goal at Barnet. The first XI now looks like this: 🐘 says: Well, that didn't go as planned. A 0.1 MB media limit has unfortunately reined in the colour, which is rather essential for these posts. We are now firmly into the Top 5 leagues + Portugal/Netherlands part of recruitment. The sheer number of affordable talents breaking through has rejuvenated this team. To that end, a big decision has to be made on Loren Moron. The Spaniard has played every bit like his 86 rating, scoring 26 goals and assisting 15 more. He has been so good, he got a Man of the Match award despite being sent off once! The fun is coming to an end, as Loren has not been able to replicate this rich form in reality. Thus, we have decided to keep him around for now, but will move him on as soon as another prolific No. 9 is identified.
