Cheers Dynamite, have added Immobile  - seemed apt in view of my performance so far 

I've updated the attackers selection thread to add Immobile to the list.

I'm heading off for a couple hours kip in about 10 minutes - Any volunteers to take a defender pick from me, just in case it swings back round to me on that thread before I wake up?

If you’re still here I’ll take it.

I set preferred formations in the database, you have four to choose from dozens, and these are placed in to the game along with tactical instructions etc, so they are stuck to as a team ‘philosophy’. I’ll get this from you at the end. I’m effectively creating your wishes in manager form and they will stick to it as they’re ‘you’. That make sense? 

 

The managers will have your ‘names’, unless you want that changed? 
 

You’ll not be sacked as I’ve set season expectations to ‘avoid relegation’ so theta the chairman’s requirements. All fan data has been set to loyalty overload, so, I think, we’re pretty much safe for the season. If it does happen though I can just reinsert you. 

Fair enough. Tempted by the idea of giving them a hateable name so I can slag off Johnson Rees-Mogg, the useless prick, for the next month or so.

Yes

Changed. Can all the managers be called rb14 so I win, yet have a reason to complain bitterly about systemic homophobia?

Gayeeeeeee. 

 

Seriously though Mr S, you're doing a fabby job here. I've no idea what any of it means, and never have I played FM so it's all a bit like "huh?" but I'm enjoying it so far and appreciate the effort you're putting in. Proper that.

Will there be a possibility for the Stig v Stronts grudge match to be live streamed?

 

I’m fully expected a 1970’s Leeds v Chelsea kicking match. 

[aRdja]

I’m going to bed. 

[Guest Alex_K]

@aRdja ping me your GK choice I'll add it for you

I’m pretty sure you can watch the key games, I’m sure I could figure a system to watch the big ones collectively if people want that?

I don't hold a grudge over SD. It's more pity, like Liverpool v Everton. 

[Street Preacher]

There should be a twitch channel or something. Could be the start of something big.

As if you're as good as Everton.

[Captain Turdseye]

Where the fuck is McGonical? Been waiting for hours for him to steal my next forward pick. 

[Strontium]

More to the point, why did @rb14 supply his midfield picks but not his defender pick at the same time.

[Scott_M]

If somebody picks a player thats already been picked, whats the state of play? Wait for them to come back and correct or plow on & tough shit?

I’d say plow through, set a precedent!

I'd agree. Especially when the duplicate was only picked 2 picks previous.

[Guest Alex_K]

Yeah majority of participants are mowing through selections, blockages are around the same points. Can we firm up the timings before next selection passes on? If a participant then comes back into the game once their turn has moved up through the chain they can just add their choice there and then (like I think Sir Roger did with his earlier). What is fair? 12 hours?

12 hrs seems fair, especially as ardja is in upsidesownland and he’s on a different time zone so will have obvious difficulties keeping up.

Bruce - I'm really struggling to keep track already, particularly on my phone. Not wanting to piss on your incredible effort so far, is there some online spreadsheet type thing we can use and search? After 6 picks it's going to become a nightmare.

I don't know how anyone else is doing it, but I have a long list of potential picks and cross them off whenever anyone chooses one of them. That way I shouldn't pick any duplicates by mistake.

No, but there could be, continue as you are for now and I’ll knock one up and share it online.

 

Shouldn’t take too long.

 

A quicker way would be to C&P in to word then con f this will search for you?

Cheers amigo. Yeah, that is a good way to do it but only when I'm at a computer, it's too much to manage on a phone.
