World Cup League Empty World Cup League

Post by Trebs Sun 18 May 2014, 6:15 pm

Hello all, new and old.

I am looking at setting up a world cup league using sides competing in the world cup, in a game which includes transfers and tactics in matches. The format will depend on the number of managers interested, it will either be a league or group and knockout. But I am hoping to make the game have some longevity if possible, using the world cup as the starting season.

To try to keep things as even as possible, all teams will be allocated using a random draw, with swaps permitted should both managers agree to it. All squads will be the 23 men taken to the world cup. The pool of teams will be Uruguay, Switzerland, Colombia, Chile, Russia, Ivory Coast, Croatia, Holland as the starting eight, but this is subject to change and more teams could be added if the interest is sufficient. The top teams are to be avoided to ensure that foreigns are as competitive as possible.

My plan is to try and stagger the foreign transfers to keep things interesting. This will be in three stages:
1. Only players from countries not in the world cup, so the likes of Bale and Ibrahimovic become available.
2. Any player not involved in the world cup, so the likes of Carrick and Cole become available.
3. Any player from teams not in the game are available, so Neymar and Rooney become available.

On a matchday, predictions will be asked for, and a reason MUST be provided for the scoreline, otherwise it will be discounted. A method of deciding the scores will be produced and made clear before the first games. Tactics will also be asked for, with approximately 250 words (10 lines).

Each week, three offers will come in for your players from other countries, using the transfermarkt website to determine the prices. At least one offer must be accepted. The transfer window will run for half of the week, with the second half of the week all transfers locked (any transfers agreed cannot go through until the following week) and four injuries announced. The purpose of locking transfers is to prevent signing players purely because of an injury and to promote general squad depth. The only transfer allowed will be an emergency goalkeeper which must be under the value of £1m.

That's the general plan, I'm sure more rules will come into it and ideas are always allowed to change. But this is my framework of the league.
Please comment below if interested, It would be good to get lots of numbers in.

Sounds good but I'm not convinced by National teams making transfers, even in fantasy form.

My thinking is that there'll be more extreme strengths and weaknesses in national teams, and that this could be made into a league like the euro division, i think the starting point is different and would make a change.

England will not be involved in the game, they have a big advantage over the foreign teams due to the knowledge of the players. Nobody is getting any team, it will be a random draw and swapsies will be allowed if wanted.

Potentially interested in this. Gonna wait and see on the numbers and see who's signed up before I officially confirm or not but the World Cup league sounds interesting. Good basis on having world-class players already involved with a good platform to build on...

I'll tentatively put my name down, but I think it works better without transfers.

I am also advertising the league on a certain other 606 website, as I'm not sure how much interest there will be on here and I'm wondering if there is more there. My preference is to set up the league here though.

Needing a few more managers, unless there's more by the end of tomorrow that confirm interest I'm sorry to say that this won't be going ahead.
