English Premier League|1 Season wonder: The End.

[Sulaiman7]

Noway damn it's not happening! So, the trio has finally fall for just 107. Good to see Davies finally taking responsibility by sensing the early collapse of the great trio.

Now, all the hard-work's payoff depends on the 6 bowlers that I've got, whose leader is the spin master, the unpredictable, Saeed Ajmal. I hope to see a victory, with only just 5 runs at most considering their batters' quality.

What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. Tottenham Hotspurs will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The pitch was a bowler's graveyard and did not offer much assistance in the way of swing, seam or spin. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Tottenham Hotspurs proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory. MATCH NOTES ----------- Tottenham Hotspurs 251/7 50 overs Liverpool 242/8 50 overs Tottenham Hotspurs .

And it's Tottenham who clinch the title this season!

Ab de Villiers gets hold on the hefty looking silverware.

Once you buy a player or even a free agent, you can't sell him straight away, you can only sell him in the next transfer window.
There will be no lineup restrictions for season 2, as I want to end the league section with a kind of league I always wanted to do. So no 4 overseas rule anymore.
Your budget is listed in the team index - Bid wisely!

How am I supposed to buy a player? Should I bet for a player who's in someone else's team or what?

It's like football leagues, you just go to one of the managers profile and put up a bid on one of their players through VM. Deals must be agreed in thread.[DOUBLEPOST=1412511189][/DOUBLEPOST]And because there is squad restriction of 25, you can just sign free agents that won't cost you any money.
