    Once you've made your round 18 pick just make sure you have your formation and tactics updated (if you want someone set to make runs in behind, to stay back when attacking, not worry about getting back to defend, etc let me know or I'll leave it to default) then there's nothing left to do but let me know about any changes you want in the lineup each week and talk shit

    Right, a season with 2 matches against each other team. I'm plenty willing to do more than 1 week per day, just depends on what the people want. If we do 1 week per day then we're looking at 34 days

    So we still have 2 guys to add for cas but as it stands right now all the squads show up as 5* teams. Except Arsenal for cas and Juve for wallcock. They are both 4 1/2

    Also once I get the picks for cas I'll get it updated and set up the league.

    Figure unless there are injuries or red cards we shouldn't really see any major changes for the first few weeks so tomorrow we may be able to do a few weeks and then give more time for changes moving forward.
    To me I was going to ask about 3 because I certainly wouldn't be making changes at that point.

    Let me know what you think

    You have your bench but there's no way of deciding who gets subbed each match, CPU will decide that during sim.
    For the tactics make sure to check the tactics thread as I've got in the OP instructions you can give people and just posted on page 3 the options for custom team tactics as well for anyone wanting to go in depth.

    Post in there and I aim to like posts once I've updated their changes so we both know its done.

    Once we get going you can probably tell me any changes in here or there and won't matter

    why can't we add a player if our guys goes down for a long period of time? Wouldn't that affect the sim?

    Even if so I will probably be home tomorrow and run week 1 in the morning. I figure those people (or heaven forbid, that one person) can make post their changes at some point during the day and we can do another week in the afternoon and if we're feeling frisky another at night

    Getting the league set up now.

    Even though we didn't draft based on FIFA ratings figured I'd throw in what it rates our squads. Ratings are Attack/Midfield/Defense. I believe it only takes into account starting XI for this

    1860 Munich/Zeberdee 83/79/80
    Arsenal/Weedlord420 79/78/79
    Atletico/514 81/80/81
    Chelsea/Clemsontyger04 84/81/79
    DC United/bwi2 85/81/83
    Barca/Druce 82/81/81
    Bayern/tne 81/81/81
    Inter/Owsley 82/82/80
    Juventus/Wallcock 85/77/78
    Liverpool/Quick 83/82/80
    Man City/Sugarshaun 80/82/79
    Orlando City/TheWampa 81/81/81
    Real Madrid/Nexus 82/83/80
    Roma/Gaknight 82/81/79
    Spurs/broxcore 81/82/79
    Swansea/h/t 83/82/80
    Valencia/delapthrows 83/80/81
    Werder Bremen/MA 84/81/78

    bwi2 has the highest rated attack and defense and best overall

    Wampa and tne have the most balanced teams

    Nexus has the best midfield

    Weedlord420 has the lowest rating overall

    Wallcock had the lowest individual rating with his midfield a 77

    DelapThrows I have all teams set to user but don't see any way to allow myself to swap back and forth between the clubs to make changes. Any idea?

    Edit: I setup another tournament to test and looks like itlll change me to another team after I sim the match I will only be able to make changes for half the squads each week and won't know until I'm doing as a heads up to everyone.
    ***If you give me changes during the season and see it not changed in your next match that is because I couldn't and will at my next chance***

    I don't remember that happening last year but you have to fill it in. I'm guessing he just filled it with someone from the roster of whatever club you chose

    I would say fill it with the lowest ranked player on the roster. hopefully they don't get subbed in, could be a significant advantage for teams using the Bayern/Madrid/Barcas. I really don't remember players not drafted ever getting subbed in though so not sure how he handled it, we can see what he says when he gets on.

    I tried to dump any high rated players from the rosters so I believe no one has anyone rated above their lowest rates selected player and get a few low rates guys just in case

    Our first match to fill up the sheet.
    YC, RC, Subs, Injury and Goals.

    Atletico captain Diego Godin shown the red in the 22nd minute and manager 514 elects to never sub in another defender despite already playing a 3 man back line.

    Dries Mertens unable to continue in the 60th minute with a broken tibia and will miss 5 months

    So I always set it up with 5 subs instead of 7.... that way when injuries occurred I just moved one of the 2 bench guys from out the bench into the bench.

    And if a non-drafted player had to fill out the bench, I always tried to put low rated GKs as the subs.

    Also... could you format a little bit differently for the games? Spaces between each game?

    That's all.

    You are great.

    7 clubs sitting on 3 points, 4 sitting on 1 after 1 week.

    It has a full week between so that's 1 week off those injuries at least
