pedrooliveira 20,230 Report post Posted December 18, 2015 Hey guys, SM just offered me a free custom GW slot, so I'm gonna create my 1st setup. Here's the concept: - Empty squads; - Starting budget of 300M (it would be between 120 and 150M, but player values have skyrocketed); - 25 player squad cap; - Olympic Games' style GW (you can only have 3 players over 23 yo in your squad); - Once a player reaches 24 yo, you have to get rid of him, as soon as the TB is up and then you won't be able to use him anymore; - If you wish to keep a player who passes 23 yo but you already have 3 other players aged 24 or over, you'll have to get rid of 1 of those 3 other players; - 28 teams, 2 divisions of 14. Club list (only criterium was even real life attendances): No club yet - Andrés, Jamie, Geoffrey Salzburg (me) Palestino (KJ KJ) Empoli (Cookiemonster) Metalist (Gordon) Bloemfontein Celtic Cambuur (Laura) Ingolstadt (Noisy) Trabzonspor (Figu 7) Chapecoense (Tom) Molde (slimey) Montpellier (Altai) CJ Wilstermann (Jonny Red) Mechelen (Olivier) Midtjylland (Rahul) Pune City (Ashraf) Alavés Zurich (Iniestazo) Perth Glory (Huddo) Kuban (Victor) MK Dons ( tg 95) Godoy Cruz Sparta Prague (Cam) Pohang Steelers (Barca Kes) Jagiellonia (hmocc) Hajduk Split (Stipe) Cerro Porteño (Mr Cesar) Ferencvaros (Justin X) Elfsborg (Miki M) I'll be inviting some managers I have in mind, but you're free to show your interest here!

LauraAFCA 3,664 Report post Posted December 18, 2015 Ohh finally, the day we've all been waiting for, Pedro starts a custom! I'm definitely in mate, can I go as far as stating I would like to have Cambuur? Just two questions: Does a club like Cambuur really attract equal attendances as 'big' clubs like Salzburg, Sparta Prague and Trabzonspor?? And so, just to be sure, the only signing cap is age, no rating cap? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pedrooliveira 20,230 Report post Posted December 18, 2015 I was hoping you 3 showed interest! Yes, Laura, I checked the attendances on Soccerway. And yes, the only cap is the age one. For everyone who shows interest, you can choose a club. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pedrooliveira 20,230 Report post Posted December 21, 2015 Hey guys, I've invited a few more people in order to get this full and more said "yes" than what I was expecting. So I'm gonna boost the club number to 20 or 24. I should create the setup on Christmas eve, so the setup will allow us to start bidding from midnight (Friday to Saturday). Since the setup will contain empty squads. This way, noone will be harmed, bidding wise, due to the holidays. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fc Midtjylland !!! fantastic team. You ever heard their story? And how the club follows a math model. Excellent read. You should check up on them. I heard about them around April or so earlier this year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Rahul 4,170 Report post Posted December 22, 2015 I like your pessimism. With the way things are going I do not see why we cannot lose. Fc Midtjylland !!! fantastic team. You ever heard their story? And how the club follows a math model. Excellent read. You should check up on them. I heard about them around April or so earlier this year. I know the spelling I've heard the story, it's actually very interesting as to how a mathematical model is used to run a club. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pedrooliveira 20,230 Report post Posted December 22, 2015 Good new, guys: we're now full! I'll just wait a bit longer for the remaining managers to pick their clubs. Like I said, I'm gonna create the setup on the 24th, so the setup allows us to start bidding at midnight (from the 25th to the 26th). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
