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.
Sure! I'll duplicate him straight away ;)

Haha I'll take anything at the moment. Midtable obscurity is crap! Seems like I hut decent form towards the end of that season though.
 
Why the feck did we sell Weigl!
 
fecking Pochettino got his commupance for only signing Adam fecking Lallana in the transfer window. Good riddance.

I hope we poach Damiens manager.
 
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.
Agree with @Damien. All those quirks adds unpredictability and fun.

I guess I'm in the CL now, since I finished 5th? Balances out with last season's unfair missing out :lol:
And they predicted that I'll finish 13th! Tevez's age is an issue though.
 
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
I guess we've found the reason behind the 2nd place issue. Bribe much, @oneniltothearsenal ?
 
Mediocrity. Every season i end up as one of the highest scoring teams, guess my defence is letting me down.
 
@Macern - I don't think the CL thing has magically fixed itself :lol: LBFC finished second but also won the CL so get their spot that way.

Also, Damien said I lost my manager but I couldn't see. Any reason for the sacking?
Striker wise, do I now have Suarez, Bacca, Morata and Benzema all playing for one spot?
Gutted I sold Semedo :(

The secret is, forget about the cups and concentrate on the league Fecking Real Madrid knocking me out on the CL again!
 
Oh boy, we sell Ox and buy Wilshere from Arsenal. Also, why is Lucho continuously loaning out Timo Werner? Is he really struggling to fit him in even after 3 seasons?!

It'd be nice if someone could take over this. I'm really busy in the next couple of weeks, I could post a few updates later in august but it's not going to move rapidly unless someone takes over
 
Sent the file to Tuppet so he can continue this experiment for a while. I don't mind getting it back and continuing on it in a few weeks time but right now I simply don't have time :(
 
Update 8
Cheers @Macern, let me know when you are ready to take it back. In the meantime following with Macern's template.

Thanks for the update. Where are United in terms of richest clubs or are they not in the database at all?
We're all United. Literally, all of our clubs are based on Manchester United (so there is none in the game)
