@Honda, so many gun CAMs already in it. Big fan but no IMO. All the rest are in though. Plus Ettiene Capoue, Moussa Sissoko.
Missed off Wilshere, jesus. Cheers. Not keen on Yilmaz or Martinez but if you're keen for them to be in the auction then reply to this and I'll put them in.
Guess there should be enough forwards as it is. Is there a limit for number of players per team ? Or a Certain minimum requirement of a squad ? Should add in Luke Shaw, imo.
You'll get £350m to spend on 22-25 players, and a manager. There will be injuries and suspensions, so take that into consideration. There may or may not be a second season so it'd be wise to prepare for both eventualities.
I'm gonna go with a list of Goalkeepers (20) Right backs (20) Left backs (20) Centre backs (40) Central midfielders (DM/MC) (60) AMLs (20) AMRs (20) AMCs (30) STs (40) That gives 270 players to split between the 9 teams, gives a bit of leeway with extra people signing up, allows flexibility in formations etc. I'm also going to ignore high PA former guns like Roberto Carlos and Rivaldo.
GKs (30) Fernando Muslera Petr Cech Joe Hart Wojciech Szczęsny Júlio César Anders Lindegaard Thibaut Courtois Pepe Reina Manuel Neuer Bernd Leno Rene Adler Hugo Lloris Morgan De Sanctis Maarten Stekelenburg Gianluigi Buffon Iker Casillas Victor Valdes David De Gea Brad Friedel Asmir Begovic Marc-Andre ter Stegen Roman Weidenfeller Igor Akinfeev Salvatore Sirigu Wilfredo Caballero Samir Handanovic Steve Mandanda Tim Krul Christian Abbiati Stephane Ruffier Jefferson Cedric Carrasso Volkan Demirel Tim Wiese Diego Cavalieri Diego Alves Victor Fabio Tim Howard Bolded in 13.3 top 30 goalkeepers based on CA, as are italicized. I'd consider Carrasso in but that's about it. Thoughts? Will do the rest another time.
People who have expressed an interest but don't have a partner yet: Skippos Verigoat Speirz Alex chris sports fan Get on it.
Get Lindegaard out of that keeper's list. Can't have someone whose last club where he was first choice was Aalesund.
Lovely new subbie and we have 10 pairs. Nice. Wiese in for Lindegaard it is. Will do the other positions now and give it 24 hours or so before releasing the player lists by day. Do we think we should auction off managers first so that you can recruit players based on your manager?
