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

I’m not paying £40 when I can get it for £8.
 

I’m literally on fire. Won the double double and both Charity Shields. CL has been disappointing though with 2 last 16 exits (PSG & Real Madrid). 
 

Jérémy Doku is sensational.

I think we should do a manager draft first this time & then build our teams round the manager.

 

All the managers last time were like deranged versions of Ultron.

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.

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.

My goodness. There's a list, you know... 

 

I mean, seriously...

No Surrender is embracing life-after-Messi for the coming season. He's on the way out.

[rb14]

Yes please.

 

I think it should be the same spec of manager as last time. And new squads. Dependent on your good nature Bruce, look to do it over a few "seasons". Bringing up the rear is familiar territory for me.

5 spots left. How do we decide how this game is played (i.e. continuation of current squads w/ transfer window vs. fresh start)? Already decided, or poll it?

[sir roger]

Bruce does practically all the work , he can decide what is most reasonable time wise.

Current thinking is three seasons, you can only have two players of the same nationality to strat with in the draft, but you can exchange them in a transfer window, or swap them out for a player who has not been taken already on the data base.

 

I'll try and figure Europe out so we're all involved every season, but can't make guarentees yet.

 

You'll all get to change you manager stats and data obvioulsy.

 

That work?

[rb14]

Works for me boss. And to clarify, your mention of "draft" implies it's completely new teams? Happy days. 

 

And as it's my birthday coming up (25 since you're asking), as a gift to you all, I'm offering free consultations for anyone who'd like to benefit from my managerial strategy. This is a time-limited offer so get your requests in ASAP. 

[Guest Alex_K]

Sounds good. The nationality rule may be cumbersome: 20 participants, 2 player max from any country .. that’s quite tight. But if others can play to it let’s go.

Yeah, maybe you can only hve two players from one team migt work better?

[Strontium]

I'm happy to play another round. Always good to finish above Stig.

Yeah it was clear that the European ties didn't matter anyway. Nobody cared. Anyone who won anything in Europe should be embarrassed quite frankly.

I'm totally easy. I'll play whichever way configured, simply thinking of reducing barriers for others playing / risk of draft taking a long time & removing some of the fun from it for others (I think the draft took 2 weeks as it was without any kind of rules?).

Also agree Europe isn't really necessary if it eases burden on your game management overheads?
