Spartak confirm ownership agreement with Totem Poles, dual signing completed

Spartak captain Tacalabala was today able to confirm the details of the rumoured rescue package for the debt stricken Totem Poles.

Following the announcement of duncancosgrove's appointment as captain of the depleted Totem Poles, the new captain accepted a deal with Tacalabala which sees the Spartak captain assist in the scouting of new players for the Totem Poles, on condition that Spartak have the exclusive option to recruit the top placed Totem Poler at the end of the season for 2012/13.

Tacalabala appeared to waste no time, and has successfully completed the signing of ell-ess-dee for the Totem Poles. Currently ranked 700th in the world (5th in FISO), the Manc represents a major acquisition for both the Totem Poles and, provided he continues his good form, Spartak next seaon.

"This represents a good deal for Spartak, for the players, and of course, for the Totem Poles," said Tacalabala, speaking at a press conference announcing both the ownership agreement and ell-ess-dee's signing.

"People may dismiss this as a cynical attempt to improve a rival team we have already faced this season, but my aim was clear and in line with my earlier commitment not to change the current Spartak squad."

ell-ess-dee's signing adds to duncancosgrove's own signing of the The Dazzler earlier today, and leaves one vacant spot in the side ahead of the GW22 match versus high-flying Campeoes.

Current Totem Poles line-up
duncancosgrove (C) - Moleicester City
Casanovanaut - Casanovanauts
The Dazzler - The Dazzler
ell-ess-dee - ☣ ☢ ☣
ONE SPOT REMAINING

Bloody hell, that joorabchin comparison earlier wasn't too wide of the mark



May I be the first to dismiss that as a cynical attempt to improve a rival team you have already faced this season

organdonor47 becomes third Totem Poles signing in 24 hours

The Totem Poles completed their line-up today with the signing of top Icelandic player organdonor47, the second and final product of the dual agreement between Spartak and Totem Poles in which the Muscovite club have an exclusive option on the Polers top 2011/12 player.

Following the acquisition of ell-ess-dee yesterday, this latest transfer of a player ranked just 74k in the world completes an incredible recovery for the club who began the week with only two players and seemingly destined for ejection from FISO 5AS.

"I'm delighted for the player, who knows he has joined a club that can nurture his talents and, if he does exceptionally well, he could well be joining Spartak next season," said Spartak captain Tacalabala, leaving training ahead of Spartak's home game with Nuts in GW22.

Totem Poles - Comfirmed line-up to face Campeoes in GW22 (listed in points order)
ell-ess-dee - ☣ ☢ ☣ (1,268)
organdonor47 - chunky norwich (1,147)
The Dazzler - The Dazzler (1,132)
Casanovanaut - Casanovanauts (1,109)
duncancosgrove (C) - Moleicester City (1,049)

Nicely done Tacky, it's just a shame your feeder club is in danger of being player-for-player better than Spartak

Well, if you put the two teams side by side in point order, right now we'd win 3-2.... but, yes, it is a bit close!

@Taca.... smart move Boss, like your style

Ok Boss, i really promise to improve my team, , but please dont kick me out into the wilderness, i love my Spartak status, and i would get swallowed up by some new team desperate for my signature.... I will even get rid of MOSES when i do my wildcard.... Well maybe ....

Don't worry, the Spartak 5 will remain as they are until that final day in May, regardless of whether your Moses love-in continues

Sorry i didn't see any messages from you besides the one liner about transfer costs. Are you sure you sent them to me?


No matter, was only pulling your leg anyway

Excellent. Cheers all, and welcome to our new recruits!

Now all i need to do is get rid of bloody chris smalling and we'll be golden....

Reprobates sign mowatson

Leading 5AS team The Reprobates today announced the signing of outstanding teenage talent mowatson, who is expected to go straight into the side for the club's next Champions League match this weekend.

"This is a great signing for us," said Reprobates captain Wyld. "This is exactly the kind of striker I have been pestering the board for funds for. It's going to be good for us and good for the fans.

"Meanwhile we've had to let slowfish go, he's a good player but he clearly wasn't up to the incredibly standards we've come to expect at the Reprobates. Now we just need the rest of the Reprobates to follow my lead." When it was pointed out to Wyld that this transfer now made him the lowest scorer in the team he suddenly left the press conference.

The new Reprobates line up:

FISO 5AS Reprobates - toffeelover, Wyld (c), Taff Murray, mowatson, WFaulks

mowatson swears he's up for the challenge

In his first interview as a Reprobate mowatson lived up to the team name. When asked by BBC's Garth Crooks if he was looking forward to playing for his new team mowatson said "****ing yeah. We're going to kick some ****".

Garth quickly apologised to the nation and was seen wandering away muttering "That was worse than Micah Richards"

Speaking at the training ground Taff Murray welcomed the signing of mowatson to the Reprobates. "I am looking forward to forming a formidible partnership with such a great player. He is the type of player that has the ability to drive the team to the next level. His experience and skill level will hopefully bring us the glory that this great club and fans deserve. The Champions League is our objective for this season and mowatson could help us deliver that goal".

The link above is for a posting I have just made in the main 5AS forum. I am looking to replace one team in my squad. Still not 100% sure how to do this. Do I get team in, then kick out old team? Plus not certain just how long left I have to do this, so some help ASAP would be nice. Thanks guys.

It's astonishing that you still have a member of your team who hasn't touched his team since the start of the season.

Presumably you hadn't noticed this until it was pointed out to you,as you could've numptified him at any time in accordance with the 5AS games rules,without waiting for this January transfer window which closes on Tuesday,as shown in the OP on Page 1 of this thread.

All you need do is supply your chosen replacement with the joining code for your team,and boot the deserter out via your FPL control panel.

Then provide a new team sheet link here like you did on the captain's declaration thread and copy your post to RomynPG ASAP to enable him if possible to change your team before Tuesday night's games and advise Krispy , for which he'll naturally appreciate the maximum possible notice.

yep - just worry about getting someone signed up - post their details here and the rest will egt sorted.

Good Luck in the hunt

Thanks Guys,
As you will see from the post I linked to, I am not the best team captain out there. I have lost the plot a bit and been having enough troubles getting my own team in order without carrying others. That said, I am the captain and it is my fault!

I have contacted Sutter Kane as suggested to me, and await his answer. I'll keep you posted.

Once again, thanks.

Still in Search of a new Club.....

still?

I have not had an answer from Stutter Kane so have sent invite to Gowanyalanger, who was suggested by softcoal. Hope to have news soon

I'm ruthless me!

There goes another one who hasn't made a transfer since GW3. Life's going to get tougher for the rest of us from now on

Forgotten just how to do the fancy stuff, so will just add the basic link.

New player's link is http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/4038/history/ team name is Harraldo Academicals

I hope this is all ok and the powers that be can work out what is going on. Sorry guys for the faffing about, only have a few minutes to spare to get this done.

Let's hope the new Expert will help us climb back up the table.

Looks good ... is that Gowanyalanger?

Aha - I should jump in, for the mystery signing is I.

This represents quite a coup for the experts as I wasn't looking to sign for any team until I was contacted yesterday by a mystery agent, codename Soggy Wasp.

That fellow is well known in these parts - the whole family are the same - always drenched in lemonade. Welcome to the 5AS Stemania

Right I have a bit more time now. I know it has been sorted out. But as Captain, I thought I should make it a bit more official.
