Maybe anyone who is 20 and under when squads are submitted are eligible for the duration of this next gen series. Due to no injuries and suspensions for friendlies everyone can name there starting 11 and bench b4 the tournament starts Quote Link to post Share on other sites

York City NextGen Team. Subs, K.ARI, H.MUKHTAR, A.NABBOUT, N.CLARK, G.ETOCK, J.BRYAN, C.MANÉ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-JMH- 8,575 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Re: 7777 NextGen Cup Thread ok, just to clarify, if you cant put an 11 of U20s out, as i said you fielded your worst squad members in the vacant positions. also if you win with a 'patched up' side, your docked a point as a penalty. seems fair to me in the 1st edition. benches can be overage, you just cant use your subs... also, submitting squads, nice idea. when the new fixtures come out we will know how long the season lasts, so any players whose birthdays falls in the season and will turn 21 CANNOT take part - much like the real tourney, there is a Jan 1993 cut off.

-JMH- 8,575 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Re: 7777 NextGen Cup Thread Ok so the seasons fixtures are out. Here is the bad/good news. Any 20 year old player whos birthday falls between now and 19th June (last league game of season) is NOT ELIGIBLE to play. this is to mirror the real life birthday registration rules. So check your 20 year olds your thinking of playing folks. Therefore i cannot play: MUSTAFI, Shkodran D(RC) 20 78 (17 April ) DABO, Bryan D,DM© 20 75 (18 February) AZEMI, Ilir F© 20 78 (21 February) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EdMoses 12,881 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Re: 7777 NextGen Cup Thread Awesome. This birthday qualification thingy has thoroughly picked up my side by the collars, bent them over the table and. as the french might (not) say "F'artd" in their face. Thomson Flanagan Maguire Pauschek Appiah - OUT Miyaichi Shelvey - OUT Thomas Lopez Neymar - OUT Thy – OUT What a purchase Appiah was. Basically I’ve spent almost £4m him specifically for a competition he now can’t play in. The worst part is that I was gonna bid on KURZAWA who is arguably the better talent but I missed out on him cos Leicester sneaked in whilst the Appiah deal was completing – lovely! Looks like my lads are gonna take a beating in the ratings stakes now – Neymars 91 replaced by Saibou’s 70 as the main example. The team go from 80 to 75 and I have to spend more cash to find a forward to partner Saibou. Awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
