You get feedback, the idea is for simplified tactics and voting, (since nobody likes voting) and more talking.

Saying that, 4 games a week is possible, you just end up with 3 games on the last day

Done deal GSC. If we agree the format of the feedback, it should be really easy. I can't wait to see the Week 2 results

I'd say 3 sentences per game, 1 on the flow of the game, 1 comment on each team. If people want further feedback, ask on the homepage.

That system works for me

How many games per week is it? 1?

Yeah.

Everyone needs to agree, and possibly sign in blood, that this league is meant to be fun among friends. If you get seriously put out by someone giving you a loss then you best not take part in this one.

I will required scanned copies of said blood signed contracts.

But yeah, everyone has different opinions, you wouldn't want to be moaned at when you vote either.

I'm signing mine with cum

Bear in mind that it has to be your own.

I'll start saving up then

Did we decide on what teams we are having?

TSJ wants to have a swing at randomising teams for some reason. I'll let him try until he gets bored

Then Scotsmen are crazy bastards

Squad Selection
Enjoy TSJ
Tactics
I think just a lineup and a few lines about how you want the team to play.
Votes
1 Person a week, 1 comment on flow of the game and 1 comment on either team
TP Rules
Think 2 per week, no limit
Lawyers
Think 2 a week, lawyer value

Injuries
Think 2 a week
Social Participation
Don't be benders

That looks good GSC, what about budgets?

I tend to think less money with no TP limit is a better solution. In the last league we started with loads of cash and couldn't spend.

GSC is right, it devalues cash if we have heaps of it and a limit on spending.

Less and no limits makes cash the best commodity again.

Plus it puts an end to the 12pm rush when the limit rises

That was always fun though. Gregers always got burned. Talk of which, where is Gregers?

If you're wanting to get a crack on then don't wait for me.  I won't be here Saturday, Sunday or Monday.

Edit: And by "here", I mean near a computer.

In the interest of you, its probably best to just pick real life teams

Before I go suicidal? It's not massively horrendous but I had to keep selecting the 13/14 season every single time.

Yeah, its just monotonous with the current website

So what real life sides then seeming as TSJ is a failure

I wonder why they changed it. The website looked dated but the ease of use more than made up for that.

Either the bottom 11 sides on TMs Top 100 Valued clubs.

Or everyone picks one side valued between something like 30-50m and they get randomised

Its being added but rather than keep the original site and develop the new one, they've decided to release their alpha and replace the old site.

Go for the bottom 11 sides, randomised, but if the top team is £50m and the bottom team is £45m, that team gets an extra £5m to spend.

What are transfer budgets?

I prefer the second option there myself

The less we use TM the better - if we all choose a team, someone can pick two. No way am I working my way through that site to find a team within that cost bracket.

How about my previous suggestion on social participation, that the person doing the votes also votes for a manager of the week - i.e. the one who has made the most/best contribution to the non-league based banter that week. As cash is such a commodity, the Manager of the Week gets a cash prize (£1m?)

I'd be open to it, but it kinda screws over whomever votes.

Could just have a poll I guess, trusting people not to just vote for themselves.

It all evens itself out as everyone gets a turn

Wanna play mafia Afro?

Montpellier
Borduex
Bremen
Getafe
Granada
Palmero
Verona
Twente
Genk(Belgium)
PAOK
Basel

Good teams there Cherries.

If the TM difference is added to transfer pots, that makes it a fair playing field.

What are normal transfer budgets btw?

It's crazy how far Bremen, Borduex and Montpellier have all fallen off in recent years

And that's Montpellier with Cabella, right? Imagine without him!

What are their values?

Not sure of exact amount but all within 40-50million

How many PAOK players do you know?

what are the TM values?

Turns out that Laurent Blanc is Montpellier's all-time top scorer!

Ninis, Natcho and Stoch are the 3 that spring to mind. Going to take a look now

Not El Pibe? I'm disappointed now

Just 7 haha I could name you starting Xi for each of those teams you mentioned and second team.

And you've probably slept with their mothers too.

Agreed on teams then? Those 11?
