Season 26 Week 20 processing...

I think the bonus system needs a slight tweak, most people seem to know how the current system works and understand that the amount you assign to each bonus is paid out to first team players under certain circumstances.

Except where the NG next game bonus is concerned, people still forget that bonus is shared between your first18, so I am changing the way NG bonus works and bringing it into line with the other bonuses.

As from next week the amount you assign to NG bonus will be paid to EACH player in your first18. It will still be reset to zero at the start of each week.

NG now applies to league games only and NC will be used for cup games.

Congratulations Rob, well deserved!!

Commiserations Ben, but what an achievement to win the Europa so soon with Roma.

Well I'm gutted to lose such a close game but congratulations to Rob - I nicked a close World Cup final so  it's swings and roundabouts. Pleased with plans for next season at Plymouth though - a year of massive changes at the club so things hopefully should settle down next season and bring the club back where it needs to be.

Fantastic for Roma though - fitting in what could be Zlatan's final season at the club...

A move to Plymouth looks inevitable.....

Partly relieved, partly delighted, partly surprised  to have won. Ben has been incredible this season in Cup competitions being outstanding in both club and international tournaments. He is the true Cup King. I also think his Plymouth team will be one of the best in the game next season and Roma's Europa triumph is the first step on what I think will be a trophy leaden era too. Zlatan to Plymouth, who'll replace the big man in the Eternal City?

As for Inter it's time to refresh and switch things up. I'll be changing things a bit for next season around a midfield axis of Busquets and Verratti and exploiting some flair on the wings with Griezmann,Coman, Candreva and Mkhitaryan so a few departures on the cards from Inter.

The big game this week is in the Bundesliga where leaders Schalke have to visit second placed Bayern and the outcome of this could decide the destiny of this season's crown, we shall see, best of luck to both Andy and Matt.

A couple of six pointers in the Premiership where cup finalists Man City visit Watford and the other cup-finalists Arsenal play host to Fulham, with all four sides still in the title race it could be delight or heartbreak for two or more this week, best of luck to you guys as well.

the big kickoff is on us and we are off...good luck to everybody...
