Bump so it’s not buried on the last page below so RiS ups.

I feel like my team is too old to go on. The only thing my team will be getting is worse, I'd suspect. 

[Allan]

If we were to do a multi season event, then it would only be fair to start from scratch. You can see a number of squads for this were picked based on just having one season.

 

I'd be happy to do some database bits to help Bruce out, as I'm more than likely going to have a lot of free time on my hands come the start of March - Find out tomorrow when I'm being made redundant.

That’s what I mean by trading. Select a striker, midfielder & defender to trade (or your best performance rated players are put up for trade) and we keep going.

 

Think of it like the US Drafts.

I think that is fair enough.

[Bruce Spanner]

I have the database saved with all managers, teams and whatnot without Europe, so it's possible to go again and I can figure out and fix Europe, I'm pretty sure I know what I've done wrong.

 

So all the donkey work is done.

 

I'm not averse to it, but I need a week or so not staring at this fucking thing before I do.

[Pidge]

Before we do it would be interesting to just sim a full year to see what happens. Sure some (my) sides would just fall apart.

[Captain Turdseye]

I’d be willing to swap Fernandinho, Javi Martinez and Higuain for absolutely anybody under the age of 30. 

[sir roger]

I wouldn't Captain , the game seems to love decrepit old bastards.

 

My team was built on the ' O'Leary principle ' but keeps getting outrun by teams who have reams of players whose next move will be to Dignitas.

 

I am with the ' keep going with the same squads '  gang.

Definitely. I'd be up for getting my arse handed to me for seasons to come. Right up my alley. I might make a decent fist of it etc. etc.

You're on a winning run stop moaning about it being a bum rap.

I know, can you believe that fukka. Must be my phenomenal managerial influence.

[Scott_M]

So, I’ve downloaded the FM21 for my iPad. One season in and I’m obviously a reincarnation of Paisley with more than a dash of Klopp mixed in:

 

 

I blame Bruce and his bad interpretation of my tactics and the rogue managers for my 13th placed finish and cup final defeats. 

[Scott_M]

Back to back titles with 5 games to spare. 
 

Bruce has kept me down. 
 

[Guest Alex_K]

You don't have me to contend with in that game ;)

[Bruce Spanner]

Scott, that version is made for ten year olds, I’d hold off the celebration dances! 

[Bruce Spanner]

Next run 01/03.

 

Sign up now.

 

After the 25th I’ll open it up to others if there are spaces...

I’m down. Time to go one better. 

[John102]

Not sure, I’ll figure it out.

 

Thinking peoples top defender/wingback/midfielder/attacker need to be sacrificed and open up to a draft system, maybe a little more nuanced, we’ll see.

 

So RB would get first pick and then up then down.

 

That make sense? 

 

[John102]

I'm in however we do it. 

[No2]

In.

[Allan]

Tut, tut, tut... Guess I'll get the list started then...?

 

Bruce

aRdja

Mr. Holliday

John102

No2

Dynamite

 

 

[Scott_M]

Im in.

 

What’s the deal this time? We playing a few seasons or what?

 

Given Anies & my average picks were 14 & 14.5 respectively last time, I think I should go first in every section this time.

[Guest Alex_K]

In - but if we're continuing w/ same squads (which I'd be v happy with) wouldn't support players indiscriminately being taken out of squads and pooled into a draft.
