Coolio, thanks for that Jae!

[J@3]

You'll have to change your pick, Khalid Boulahrouz is technically still a Chelsea player he is just on loan to another club. For some reason in the data update they stuffed that up.

Alright, I will get onto that right away.

EDIT: Updated my picks.

2 Quick question Jae, with the draft round where we are going to select 5 under 17's, can the players be affiliated with EPL at present, and can they be 17 years old or must they be under?

They can be 17-under, but can't be in the EPL. If you can't think of anyone, just go to AC Milan or one of the big Euro teams and take 5 of their guys.

And Nick, don't post in the other thread you dickhead lol.

[JT_55]

I thought Ronaldinho was off-limits? Of course, this gives a little more level playing field.

Who do you guys think have the best team as of now?

[J@3]

Nah he is, Nick was just being "funny"

Who do you guys think have the best team as of now?

Probably Mark... but I'm really interested to see how Drex's team goes, he's made some interesting picks.

[Nick]

Lol sorry Jae.

I can't wait for the draft to be over, so i can pick my team!

[J@3]

From the draft thread:

NOTE: FROM ROUND 13 (DREX HAS GOT THE FIRST PICK) ONWARDS, WE'LL BE SELECTING 4 PLAYERS PER PICK, AND WILL FINISH AFTER ROUND 14

This just speeds things up a bit, after round 14 we'll do the 5 youth players then the manager/assistant.

[Drex]

Sounds good to me.

Who do you guys think have the best team as of now?

I agree that Mark's team is the best right now, but Ty has a great balanced team, too.

[Dean]

Well when you play so much that your FM Status is Sleeping is for Sissies your bound to get a good team

Also

And Nick, don't post in the other thread you dickhead lol.

That made me laugh so hard haha

[J@3]

Almost finished doing the graphics for the updates, I think this one will look cooler than the last one

[J@3]

I simmed about a weeks worth of the game last night, just to test for bugs etc. I'd rank the teams like this based on the friendlies:

Iquique
Solihull
Dunedin
Pirates
Wiltshire

Cristian Chivu somehow scored 4 goals in 2 games for me ... I was controlling Tottenham, so none of our teams had real managers.

I actually beat Drex's team, but ranked him first because they attack like crazy and will win alot of games. Ty-Lands team has a shitload of potential but leaked a few too many goals, Dean's team really struggled. Dunedin were good but not spectacular.

Friendlies don't really mean anything, because for one no one has their full roster, no one has the managers they want, the squads are rotated constantly for friendly games etc. Just thought I would share that

[Drex]

Great Go me.

[Mark.]

Damn Jae, that just got me all excited, cant wait for the start of the season.

EDIT: Damn I just realised that the order for the U17 picks will now be changed I doubt any of my young Gems will be avaliable now.

[Ty-Land]

Done my latest round selection. Looking forward to the youth round. Being procastinating by doing research on who to pick. Hopefully can pull out a diamond in the rough.
