I know how it works, but I don't know how it works. Does the new FM have a facility whereby you can set up draft leagues like this one? Or does it require a bit more jiggery pokery?

 

I'm effectively building new teams from scratch and then inserting them in to the game by playing with the database.

 

Everybody will have the same stats, facilities, finance, reputation and medical etc, so that's pretty easy to do, but labourious.

 

I will then set up a manager with your tactical preferences and and put him as manager of your team, everybody has the same stats, it's just the choice of tactics that will differentiate.

 

I'm not sombody who copes with boredom well!

Maybe it needs a separate thread to fully explain all the rules and to prompt people along to get picking. I’m itching to get going!

 

Although I already regret my choice in goalkeeper.

How do injuries work? Is it random or does it factor in injury history? Is Naby Keita fucked?

No injuries at the start of the game, but I have no control over them once it's running.

 

It's fair to say that dear Naby might miss a few with his record...

Thats what I mean, do all players start with perfect bodies when in reality they're built of wet cornflakes?

They are how they are in real life as injury prone, but I will change it so at the start you have a full squad of healthy players, if they get injured that's all part of the game.

Could be worse. You could be bottom of the list like me and have to choose two shit goalies.

You’ll have 1 shit goalie but 1 of the best least shit ones.

With all the great attackers in the world left, Mr Holliday has picked Calum Wilson?

 

WTF?

Just spoke to him about this as I was bemused as well, apparently he’s a guaranteed twenty a season player.

 

He loves this shit, so we’ll see.

I think three calls and then you miss, this happens three times your out?

 

Fair to give day though as we have ardja on a different continent.

That got binned as it was unfair, you're creating your own now and I'll make the profile for you.

 

That's the last thing though so don't worry yet.

Oh.

 

John should still hurry up though. 

[Bjornebye]

To be fair to John, Alex tagged the wrong captain last night. That doesn't stop him being a lazy fucking prick though ban the cunt 

[Bruce Spanner]

You'll all be pleased to know you just qualified for the Champions League!

 

Straight to the group stages as well, cause I like ya.

He maybe a 20 goals a season striker but I can state with some degree of certainty that he would have still been available on pick 6.

I doubt it as it wouldn't make sense as you have to trian them and wait for them to be good, so over a season like this it's pointless.

 

Sounds more like MonEyBaLLZ to me.

 

I'm sure he'll explain at some point, he's just logging on to choose ATM.
