Gaming FM 17 Club Draft | Final update is out

[Damien]

Conte @Damien

Will pick player in a bit.

Cool. My manager: Jardim

@Igor Drefljak to pick manager only.

 

[Damien]

How much impact does the manager have in this game?

No idea. Guessing it is fairly important with the way a certain manager hasn't been picked in the first eight, and some of the teams with a penchant for youth going for youth oriented managers. Though that said, I've got no idea. Just went for Jardim because of what he's done with their team in real life with a young squad. He's only 42 too, so if they are tied down to a long contract he won't die (if there is death in FM, probably just retirement).

[JTW95]

How much impact does the manager have in this game?

I think the players is probably more important but I am sure a good manager will make some sort of difference.

I went for Pochettino cause on all my FM saves I have done on this year's game Spurs seem to dominate so I am glad I have managed to get the combo of him and Kane.

 

[ADJUDICATOR]

@2mufc0 Managers have their own managerial tendencies, tactical preferences and relative abilities. It would be good to choose one that aligns with yours, I guess.

@oneniltothearsenal Pretty much confined me to a mediocre midfield, excellent pick.

 

[anant]

@Macern managers can get sacked like they do in normal FM saves, right? As in, you won't be handing them a 20 year contract with clubs having infinite patience and all that, I'm assuming

[limerickcitykid]

Pick in a few mins. Shit is popping off in my house. Roommates going off. Swear one of them might stab one. Over a kettle too. Ducking hell lads.

 

[limerickcitykid]

Am I picking manager and player?

feck one them hit the other with the door and now the others punched him. feck sakes lads.

I'm in my room pretending I'm not here. Not getting involved in this shit.

 

[Damien]

Yeah you're picking both. Stay safe.

 

[limerickcitykid]

feck they knocked on my door.

 

[limerickcitykid]

K I'll take Kovacic and Wenger.

Is Sir Alex still in the game?

 

[Igor Drefljak]

K I'll take Kovacic and Wenger.

Should have taken Joey Barton and Roy Keane and sent them to sort your room mates out

 

[Igor Drefljak]

PNut has gone for Tüchel as manager. Player is a bit more complicated but Sterling is the result for that

I take it he wanted Stones or Goretzka?

 

[Damien]

I take it he wanted Stones or Goretzka?

Won't say who but his first choice was someone who had already been picked. He realised this a bit later then changed his first choice to someone else who had already been picked before he sent the PM.

[Damien]

Lot of good managers around. Spont might not be left with Pardew after all.

 

[2mufc0]

No one taking Big Sam yet.

 

[JTW95]

Schteve McClaren is still available.

 

[Igor Drefljak]

I'm predicting Giggs and Brenton in the next two slots

 

[JTW95]

Anyone who takes longer than 2 hours to pick should get Moyes.

 

[Macern]

@Macern managers can get sacked like they do in normal FM saves, right? As in, you won't be handing them a 20 year contract with clubs having infinite patience and all that, I'm assuming

Correct

 

[Muffled funk]

what about coaches at the clubs for training?

 

[Igor Drefljak]

what about coaches at the clubs for training?

Lets draft em'

 

[Samid]

what about coaches at the clubs for training?

Here you go:

 

[anant]

And what about continental qualification and the Home grown quota rule? @Macern

 

[2mufc0]

If we are going to have quotas etc it should have been at the start of the draft.

 

[Macern]

And what about continental qualification and the Home grown quota rule? @Macern

Not even sure if there will be any continental play at all for you guys, it depends on me managing to duplicate 500 players within a reasonable amount of time. Anyway you shouldn't worry about home grown quota. Haven't even decided on what country to put the league in.

what about coaches at the clubs for training?

I think I'll just duplicate a club 20 times, United for instance, and use their board and coaches etc.

 

[Damien]

Haven't even decided on what country to put the league in.

Gibraltar.

 

[Macern]

Gibraltar.

No way, got mugged by a monkey once when I was there. Took my plastic bag. I was thinking Pitcairn Islands

Smart monkey. Plastic is bad for the environment.
