I had a similar thought about Kyle Walker 

[Allan]

As I'm on nights tonight, I'll happily take picks for people via PM if they want to leave them with someone.

I'm happy with my squad in the end. I may not have the strongest first eleven - although I don't think I'm far off - but I've got good depth, players that suit the formations I've picked and players that play multiple positions.

 

GK - Handanovic / Meslier / Raya

LB - Alaba / Bertrand

CB - Hernandez / Lopez

CB - Martinez / Dunk

RB - Jonny / Pereira

 

CM - Henderson / Olmo

CM - Wijanldum / Van de Beek

CM - Paredes / Maddison 

 

LW - Felix / Pedri

ST - Lukaku / Paulinho

RW - Ziyech / Richarlison

 

[Pidge]

GK - Oblak, Ospina, Grabara

DR - AWB, Semedo

DC - Zouma, Tah

DC - Varane, Mings

DL - Sandro, Davies

MC - Witsel, Allan

MC - Koke, Kondogbia

AM - Rakitic, Lo Celso

WR - Salah, Neres

WL - Bale, Bailey

CF - Vardy, Dzeko

 

Pretty pleased with that. Wouldn't even be surprised to see the AI deviate from that in places (Zouma/Tah and possibly Allan coming in).  Pace and finishing, with a solid base that can play and defend.

 

Just hope Bale comes good really. But Bailey will be a good understudy if not.

First XI

 

Second XI

 

Optimistic for a top 8 finish.

[The Golden Eel]

GK - Navas, Gulacsi, Hradecky

RB - Carvajal, Florenzi

LB - Digne, Max

CB - Pique, Blind

CB - Manolas, Evans

MC - Casemiro, Can

MC - Brozovic, McKennie

AM - Silva, Lllorente

LW - Ronaldo, Rebic

CF - Mertens, Ben Yedder

RW - Di Maria, Lozano

 

Happy with the look of my squad but I'm concerned that my players might score three OGs every game after hearing my tactics. 

[Allan]

 

[sir roger]

As mentioned earlier I thought it was a fantasy type thing and was about halfway through before realising they had to function as an actual team and ended up with too many central strikers. Is there a transfer type function in the game ? 

 

[John102]

Given that i missed last weekend, which turned out to be the busiest period of the draft, ill be happy to avoid the bottom 3.

I'm sure Bruce mentioned the possibility of a January window with trades between us. Is this still something that is being considered, @Bruce Spanner?

Yeah, that’s pretty easy to sort out.

 

Maybe capped at two swaps though per person though or it becomes laborious.

Fuck me mate it’s still July 

[Bruce Spanner]

just a quick question for @rb14 & @Scott_M

 

Whch Bono and which Ricardo Pereira, as I get a few options?

 

[Karl_b]

If it's Leicester's R Pereira then I picked him as my third choice in the defender draft!

 

Edit - unless you mean me as I can't see that anyone else has picked someone with the same name?

Sorry, I'm stacked at work. I'm not sure I follow.

 

If it's the Bender, I got Lars. The better of the two players.

No, Ricardo Pereira, which one/where does he play?

 

There's loads of them.

Who's Bono then? 

 

I got the Atletico Madrid centre back.

[John102]

Are we likely to have a Friday night season opener.

 

The hope for this is the only thing getting me through work.

rb14 has Bono and I've no idea who he is or where he plays.

Once the defenders are finished we're good to go.

 

So, plan is I'll release the teams later today once I'm sure everything work, I'll then release the fixtures tomorrow morning with results following in the afternoon.

 

Once we've got the first lot out of the way we'll sirt out frequency and whatnot.

Bono appears to be a GK, however, he also appears to have picked the same GK with his first pick too.
