I am just waiting to see if I get who I want in the marquee round. :P

Neill and Matsui are the only two who will be of any use in the league IMO. Maybe Grafite.

Actually, he'll definitely be down there. Though Ponce, Convey and Viduka will all be useful.

gervinho...

He's pretty average in FM. Actually, he's pretty average in general. Had a good WC but that's about all.

I'm pretty sure both my squads will be very competitive - one in the A-League, and one in the B-League. But I'm pretty sure whichever one ends up in the B-League will win that...

Unless someone like doc or avy forgets to submit a marquee player and lucks out, I'd say so.

I'm leaning towards putting Christchurch there just because it has a shittier goalkeeper.

I'm almost tempted to put Sunshine Coast Sunshine there because they have a fucking shit name.

But they're the better squad, I'd say they'll be top flight.

Come on, I love that name. :D

Why'd buddha get relegated?

Dioh Williams will be the signing of the season, you watch

I reckon, injuries permitting, I'll go top 3.

People keep asking about the deadlines, scouse #-o

There are about half a dozen teams that I expect to be competing for the play-off. At least.

Deadline is in the fucking title, hmkay?

Hoping to be a darkhorse here..

You'll definitely be pushing for the play-offs.

It looks like a lot of teams want strikers as their first pick marquees. I may have to add more strikers to the list for the second round.

well, they are pretty useful.

you should add a goalkeeper or two for the second round marquees, too.

I'm thinking my team will go ok.

Most of the keepers that were listed were as good as they should be in the league. Guys like Casillas, Cech, Buffon are too good. I'll think about it but it probably won't happen.

I'm a little curious as to how the actual divisions with be anyway.

Two divisions of 14 teams, with playoffs from the second division into the first Afro? 3 teams up, 3 down?

What about champions, will it be as simple as whoever comes in first place or?

The divisions will be 14 teams in each.

The top four teams in the A-League compete for the play-off title. The main prize money is for winning the league though. 20m for winning the league, an additional 5m for winning the play-offs.

The bottom two teams are automatically relegated.

In the B-League, first place auto-promotes while places 2nd-5th play off for the second spot.

There is also a cup competition with a winners prize of 15m.

Television rights are 10m each.

So if you win everything, you'll be making 50m a season minimum.

Pretty happy with my team especially my keepers tbh. Got a feeling it may be a bit to on the attacking side in midfield :lol:

Your'e fairly balanced there. But you're lacking a defensive midfielder.

Yeah that's my main worry. Probably gonna regret not picking up one before :lol:

There are a couple available in the marquee list...and most people are picking strikers. So you're a good chance of getting one.

Is it ok if I send you a revised list tomorrow with the DMs higher up the list:lol:

You'll probably want to do it ASAP rather tahn putting it off until tomorrow. But yes.

Guys just re-ordering the list: it would be great if you could jsut pick the half a dozen or so players you ACTUALLY want.

i think my team can challenge, just need a solid striker now.

Went for a strong centre back in this round to partner Mathijsen, will look for another sriker or wide player next round if all goes to plan.
If my team makes top division I think my team will be title contenders, barring injuries ofcourse.

glad everyone's picking strikers, means i'll probably get my number 1 pick

*looks at gooner's squad* If you're going for Lahm to fill that LB position, no. No you're not.

:cry: :cry: :cry:

bastard, may i ask who got him? :evil:

edit: i guess everyone is pretty weak at left back, i shouldn't really have expected too much
