Gaming FM 17 Club Draft | Final update is out

What should we do transferwise?

  • Allow a fixed maximum number of transfers each summer

  • Let in-game managers make transfer each summer

  • Stick with original squad


Results are only viewable after voting.
What the feck, we're selling everyone. Whats going on with this game Macern. First we don't get Europe when we finished 2nd and now all our players are being sold! Fix!


It said similar last season but we finished 12th.

Happy with the signing of Rabiot. With the Egg dude loaned out, maybe Mbappe will play more than one game this season.
 
Wonder if being in the CL effects player ambition/morale?
Unfortunately it does. Fortunately I have the power to remove all unhappiness which I just did with Bikini Bottom FC. Think I did it with your team as well IIRC
 
What the feck. It happened again, you're not in the Champions League. It seems like the teams finishing 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th qualifies to the CL and not 2nd for some reason. Happened with Miranda Rev as well.

I have no idea why it happens.

As you can see here it seems I've set up the rules the way they should be, but for some reason it's not working properly. I'm very sorry but I don't know why this happens and therefore I don't know how to fix it.

It must be said that I was always against CL. The RedCafe cup for instance is far more competitive and more prestigious to win, CL is a bit pointless imo. We'd remove CL if it was up to me but the majority here seems to want it.
Yeah, I figured that something is wrong with the Europe qualification from the league itself (I shouldn't have been in Europe in the first place, for example). It was surprising that I didn't receive a place in the CL after winning the Europa League though. Not to fussed about that anyway, it only adds to the craziness - and my team wasn't created with the goal of dominating the league/Europe
 
We just have to accept this issue as there is nothing I can do. I'll sort out the unhappiness in the teams finishing 2nd to minimize the impact.
 
Busquets has been my best rated player and he got sold off . Dafuq.
 
It's like one of those 18th century laws in US.

- It’s against the law for a woman to drive a car in Main Street unless her husband is walking in front of the car waving a red flag
- You're not playing in Europe if you finished as a runner up

Adds strategic element too. Imagine if you're trailing behind the first place by a few points in April - does the manager play it safe and lose a few games, dropping to the 3rd/4th, or is he trying to catch the leader, risking his Europe place on the way? :wenger::lol:

Alexis won the world golden ball in January 2019 (despite having a lower average rating than his competitors Suarez and Özil.

:lol: that's a worse transfer window than even me!
 
Update 7
--- Update 7 ---

Date: June 24th

As you can see, the league table is posted on the 25th and not the 24th. That's because I messed up the fixture list this season by accidentally removing the 'play games on saturdays and wednesdays' option which resulted in games being played every single day. Hence the season finishes/d in the current date which is june 24th. The league table is posted the following day when the last game has been played. The reason why I took all the screenshots before the final game was because everything resets after the final game has been played. This won't happen again next season.

As you can see in the following screenshot, Klopp moved to Rogues because Mourinho resigned at the 9th of June. I don't know why it doesn't show. Snipes hasn't hired a new manager yet.

Here I was going to post the screenshots for each club, but the issue mentioned in the above post has also resulted in the average ratings etc have been reset on the squad screen. Like I said, this will be sorted out next season.
 
Peter Crouch Society and MF's team lose their managers.

Teams still with original manager:

RedCafe Rogues (Igor Drefljak/Jose Mourinho)
RoundBall Widnes (Damien/Leonardo Jardim)

What the feck, the numbers in grey show the aggregate score from the two matches. For some reason it shows 1-3 instead of 3-4 and somehow you went out of the cup. fecking hell this is pissing me off. First the CL issue, then this shit and the schedule last season got completely messed up. The database always finds a way to mess with me.

That's fecking nuts!
 
With the amount of effort put into this by so many it's a shame that things don't run smoothly. I (or someone else) could try and sort out the database and restart it. Might give all the clubs sugar daddies as well to ensure more realistic transfer windows.
 
I just discovered something. The first round of the cup has 8 participants right, eliminating 4 of them so there are 16 teams in the second round. I thought the teams were selected randomly, but I just discovered that the 8 teams are the teams who finished lowest in the previous league table. With the exception of the 13th placed team which is switched out with the 2nd placed team. That's why Bikini Bottom played the first round of the cup this season instead of AC Calciopoli

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: I hate this game so much

Nah, would be a shame to restart this. The little quirks make it better in my opinion.

I don't mind the quirks but winning a game and going out is quite weird lol!
 
I have some good news; The issue with the 2nd placed team not qualifying for CL has now magically sorted itself out. I think it has something to do with last seasons mess in the fixture list. When the season finished I saw 'EC' next to the 7 or 8 highest teams on the table. Good news @Tuppet :)
 
Let's hope the game has sorted out the cup issues as well, I have a feeling it has since it seems connected to the league

I feel I should have some concerns cleared as I could have won that cup!

Edit: I'll just take Pogba back actually!
 
For some reason Bikini Bottom / @harms is in the CL as well :lol: Apparently the game wants to compensate you for missing out last year.
