What other 2 leagues were you thinking? Germany and France/Holland?

Personally i'd like 3 teams in 5 leagues.

\o/ yay.

Regarding the leagues I wouldn't mind tbh.

With 5 leagues there'd be more scope for Europe but with 3 leagues you'd get a more competitive league.
Either way would be fine imo, so I'll leave it to the rest of them. :thup:

And if no decision can be reached then I'd say just go with the original plan of the random teams, that way it's 100% fair so no-one can complain.

I wasn't in your last game but I regretted missing it tbh. If it's k with you, I want to be a part of it this time. And for the leagues my vote goes to 3 teams in 5 leagues.

i wasnt in your last game either, but really thought it was interesting. problem is i dont have 08, so 07 tac files wont be valid right? cant i just show you a screen of what i want? im sorry. if this makes me ineligible then just my luck. or some other user could help me. really sorry.

If you can't send .tac files screenies will be fine.

Me being me, I couldn't wait until Monday to get the game and have got it today.

I was thinking of downloading the BETA patch, but looking at the "flaws" that it adds to the game I think I'll start a game without it and wait for the "official" 1st patch to come out.

If everyone could email me at:-

chrisbamb@googlemail.com

I will start adding people and let you know which team you have. I've decided to go with 5 Leagues with 3 teams in each. The Leagues will be:-

England
Italy
Spain
Germany
Holland

I will also leave my team selection until last so I'll end up with whatever League is left. The draw will be random as I thought last years game was much more entertaining with people doing lesser teams as well.

My thoughts on Squad/Transfer restrictions are not going to go ahead after all (so no announcement from FIFA, I'm afraid!! ). I was going to restrict 1st Team Squads to 25 players maximum and restrict transfers to 5 1st team players (Squad size permitting) and 5 U18's players per transfer window just to speed up processing time for myself as time will be restricted on updates this time around. However, that would actually give the PC teams the edge so I've decided against it.

By my reckoning we have 10 players at the moment. So I'll start loading names up and issuing teams that way you can get working on your tactics/team sheets/transfers/coaching over the weekend.

Also would like the following point to be raised as well:-

TRANSFERS BETWEEN HUMAN TEAMS

Like last years effort, PLEASE do these via Email/MSN between yourselves. DO NOT clog up the Thread or try and use me as a go between. The more time I get to process the game the better the Thread will go. Once a deal is struck, I will need BOTH parties to confirm the deal to me for it to get processed. Also, if any trade is deemed to be unfair or one team gets an edge (I.E. Collusion) I will veto the deal or pass the deal open to the rest of the Group to pass judgement as to whether or not it goes ahead.

I may also extend it past 15 players if I do get more interest, but no more than 20 so we may end up with 4 players in each League. :thup:

All that remains to say is roll on people getting info to me and starting this off as I'm raring to go.

retired_kg20

Right, just spent last couple of hours getting my version of the game up to date as possible.

I've added the following:-

Logos for all 5 nations
Kits and facepacks for English Premier League

Only thing I'm missing (I think) are:-

Facepacks for Italian, German and Dutch League. Had a good search around but couldn't really find anything for those in one complete pack. Can pick up the odd team here and there but that's about it.

retired_kg20

Here we go so far, I'll just post everyone's teams on here, will save time that way.

Once you know what your team is, please send the following:-

Tactics - preferably a .TAC file which I can just download straight away or a screenie of how you would like your tactics to look like, or even a written version. I.E. move attacking 3 clicks right, etc. Include any Captains, Penalty takers, etc.

Coaching - Do you want to set your coaching up or leave it to the auto button. I.E. Which coach do you want to coach each section.

Transfer Bids, etc. - Who do you want to bid for, who do you want to sell, etc. REMEMBER ANY PLAYER ON A HUMAN TEAM HAS TO BE DONE VIA THEM NOT ME.

Team sheet - Let me know who you would like to play. Do it in this format:-

GK
---
1st choice -
2nd choice -
3rd choice -

LB
---
1st choice -
2nd choice -

You get the picture, I need this for EACH AND EVERY position. This way if your first choice isn't playing then I can put your 2nd choice in and then your 3rd choice after that. Makes life easier.

TRANSFER BIDS

I would like these to be sent to me via email and not posted on here and done as such:-

Example
--------
Dirk Kuyt - Please bid 5 million. I would like to go as high as 8.5 million as my maximum. Please increase my bid by 0.5 million each time it gets rejected until they accept. If they don't accept at 8.5 million then please wait further instructions. Another way would be:-

Dirk Kuyt - Start 5 mill, increase by 0.5 up to max of 8.5 mill.


SPECIAL NOTE

Any body who doesn't provide me with the information required will go onto the Assistant manager running the team. If after 2 weeks I still haven't had anything then that player will be removed from the game. Same goes with regular season play once we get under way. Please try to at least have a post every 2 weeks or contact me in some way or another to let me know you can't post (I.E. Holiday, family time, etc) then I can at least make exceptions for you. If no word is heard then removal from the game after 2 weeks will follow.


I think that's all I need to do for now. Will still wait until Monday and see what other takers we get and will then also issue my team. Cheers.

retired_kg20

Damn!! It would help if I added who got who wouldn't it!!

Neoc - Athletic - Spain
Alexdodo - AZ - Holland
Mark Cator - Blackburn - England
Aaberdeenn - Cottbus - Germany
Abceded - Roma - Italy
Wiss - Heerenveen - Holland
Jonny - AC Milan - Italy
5ergio - Spurs - England
Milanfan - FC Utrecht - Holland
Walcotts - Inter Milan - Italy

That's all 3 Italian and Dutch teams out already and very surprising that 3 of the big Italian names came out.
