If it's one or the other, wage cap. Player cap won't do bugger all if someone has 25 superstars amassed.

I think a player cap is a good idea. Stockpiling 80+ players and sending them on loan is fine for Chelsea in real life but gets silly in this game.
Most top clubs have around £1m in wages. Chelsea have £1.2m and then £430k in loan wages.
Trouble is wages are harder to monitor with player rises and drops.
Player cap to 40 max, I'd say. Agreed on the draw being at 5pm - I saw your post saying league would be done in the afternoon so had no idea you were getting people to join teams at like 5-9am which is a bit unfair on those who were not on at the time.
Draw will take place some time between 5 PM and 8 PM. Everyone will have 30 minutes to pick before they are skipped. If you won't be around, then PM me a list of 12 teams in the order that you want them in.
Aye, I created the league last night and it said I was 4th in queue and that they were only created between 9 and 20.00. It was created in the early morning though.
@Damien if I resign from Liverpool will I lose the GW?
40 players is a little high? I'd of thought 30 would be enough. 18 for the first team squad and then 12 prospects or however people want to amass players.
Three people have listed Chelsea as their first choice. You can see why, their loanees alone are like a lower PL side.Can I join?
Couldn't get into it after a while the last time I was in but with a new one I am hopeful of lasting the distance

Glory hunters the lot of them. I'll PM you my list just in case I'm not on later.
Are you using a random number generator to sort the picking?
Gonna PM a neutral a list of our names and have him use random.org/lists. Whoever is first in the list picks first and so on.
Who is him? I'm intrigued.
I don't know, to be honest.
Well, for some people like those who get Chelsea and have tonnes in the squad, they'll be fine, but for those who take over, say Hull or Cardiff, they could do with the extra squad space for players likely to rise in near future to amass more money as they'll find it a lot more difficult to bring in players. I don't think 30 would be enough for those.
No idea. Will PM someone online and ask them to screenshot the results and post in here.
Meet in the middle and say 35?
40 is fair. 30 cap is too low imo. Ideally the magic number is 37 and 47, so 40 is on the button. It covers first XI, ressies and long term prospects. Most teams still make a profit with that amount of players.
Not buying from unmanaged clubs. In the future that will feck up. People lose interest and leave, so players will be locked at these clubs. Once they have a profit then fair enough, but eventually the attraction won't be there. Shit happens like the original league. It is something you have to consider.
I think the random draw is a must. Can't believe ye were going to role with "I'll have that team please". Get enough of an interest first, do ye even have div1 filled yet?? Rushing it a bit.
People in Div2 should get an extra couple of mill when signing up if ye get enough signed up. There is an imbalance there once teams start doing swap deals and selling off their decent squad players in the better teams.
My 2 cents on it. New leagues have come and gone, so ye might aswell do it right to begin with.

Let's say 36, 18 first team squad and 18 prospects.
Buying from unmanaged clubs is off. I've selected the feature to prevent it from ever happening.
In hindsight it was a bad idea to not do a lottery.
Can't give people extra money or I would have. I either leave the balances default or I give everyone the same. I chose the same. Everyone has £50m.
You could cap players in div1 to 35, div2 at 40. More leg room and teams top have to manage their squad more.
I like this idea. You in then, I take it mate?
IIRC you can change league rules at the start of each season.
Yeah, I can edit any rules now. Unmanaged clubs has always been off though so no changes are necessary.
Agreed but in future it may become a possibility if we get a large amount of unmanaged teams.
So we doing a player cap then? Should be at 40. 30 is too low. 40 gives the chance to have a nice mix of everything. And like it or not, the big pull of the game is the transfers. That's why the draft league is dead. 40 will allow people to have their transfer fix.
I'm liking the 35 D1, 40 D2.
I'm fine with giving Div 2 teams 5 more but then it should be 40 and 45. There are so many talents out there. Why not have them in the GW rather than at external leagues? As I said, transfers are a big part of what makes the game interesting specially with the shite match engine. Its not as if there's a dearth of talent.
Cause the div2 teams have to build a starting 11 first, let alone the big teams just deciding to keep their squads and snap up most of the talent. If top 4 done that, that's 80 players off the talent list already.
Most div 1 teams have reasonable squads already. Div2 need something to keep them interested, as it can be a long wait. Div2 will need to spend big, div1 can swap players with higher value.
We dont even have 20 managers as yet Ando. Even if interest suddenly pours in, we'l barely end up filling 5 clubs in Div 2.
And those 5 may lose interest. It is more to do with the long term rather than immediate impact. It stops the bigger teams using their existing players as make weights, so they could use the 50mil in other ways. As I said, quiet a few times league were tried, and most have gone.
There is no rush to start it either. Wait until transfer window closes....especially for whoever takes united

Okay, I'l go with the majority but I doubt we'l end up with clubs in Div 2 long term. People may take it at the start but those who get relegated from Div 1 are unlikely to stay on playing against the comp managed teams.
And yeah, Barney should have waited but he's created the GW so squads are set now, cant change them.
This was to start at 5 right?
feck sake Varun, got me excited.
Bump
Prick.
So... what is Sergio Canales up to these days?
