[Guest Alex_K]

It’s .. nice. But Neymar, De Bruyne, Lautaro Martinez & Di Maria it ain’t.

[Pidge]

Could still do with boosting my midfield or even full backs.

 

Maxi Gomez (been a useful goalscorer - 11 in the season off the bench), Pepe (picked up some important goals) and Neres (high potential, hasn't featured enough for me) available.

[John102]

Looking forward to seeing the Kroos Modric partnership at the 102 stadium next year. Should be a title winning midfield.

Particuarly if they are lined up against Gini and Keita.

You're probably right, know wfanes MI, they will probably get dominated by central midfield pairings which include Mount, McKennie and Brandt.

Keita is winning the league this year. Wijnaldum tried to join him by forcing his way out of AC NO DEFG or whatever the fuck they’re called but their owner is a blert.

@Bruce Spanner Can I change my name to Mid-Table Mediocrity please?

[Bruce Spanner]

Just floating an idea, so let me know what you think.

 

I can create players and some nerd cunt has done historical players data profiles, so they’d be pretty accurate.

 

So, for the last season we could have an historical great draft, one per team, running from last to first again.

 

What’s the opinion?

 

For the next draft we could, potentially, do a best ever draft and have them play out a season/seasons.

Got a link to the data so we can take a look?

It’s the 2020 version, but I could adapt it in game without much hassle.

He’s not doing one this year, so I’d have to create it based I’m around this.

Historical "Best Ever" draft sounds a lot of fun

[Lee909]

I'd save it for another draft

Same. If it was run as a new game, I'd be in. 

 

I'll download the database and give it a look tomorrow.

 

EDIT: As it happens, I've just noticed that I did download the FM19 version of this. Think I loaded it once, had a look around, and decided it wasn't for me.

[Guest Alex_K]

Yeah agreed - different game sounds good

[Pidge]

Agree, I'd hate to ruin my carefully laid plans at this stage since they're working out so well so far.

[John102]

I could probably find a place for these legends in goal? Fully booked elsewhere.

[sir roger]

I'd have been a lot higher than 14th with Nat Lofthouse leading the line.

Ask me again in the summer.

[aRdja]

Yeah, that’d be good for the next draft.

[Street Preacher]

I'd love a fully classic player database, it was something I was going to mention so I'm glad it's a possibility. 

[Allan]

Been waiting to see if I received any offers before doing this, but as the deadline is fast approaching, I'm going to pull the trigger on this raid of Ajax for a couple of wonderkids in exchange for a couple of my own young guns.

 

So, @Bruce Spanner, I'm doing the below and will update the spreadsheet accordingly.

 

Deportivo Explosivo (Dynamite)

 

In: Ryan Gravenberch (18 - Free Agent) & Antony (20 - Free Agent)

Out: Sebastiano Esposito (18 - Released) & Sander Berge (22 - Released)

 

Just because Antony caused a few issues in the last draft, this is the Antony from Ajax that I'm bringing in.

Are we on Season 2 tomorrow? Should soften the blow of tonight’s exit ..

Yeah, transfers end at 8am tomorrow.

 

I’ll sort the teams out as there’s been a lot of transfer activity I don’t control and need to clean up.

 

I’ll get the season odds up around lunch, then charity shield should kick off late afternoon.
