OK so going to spoiler with how long it’ll be but schedule post below.

Last year I could finally make a change whether you’re home or away. In the past it was just home unless it was a forced change (Injury, red card, yellow card accumulation) but it wasn’t permanent so I leave it on my list until next home match when I can make the permanent change. No changes that aren’t due to suspension/injury until after the 10th league match unless it sticks with the same starting XI formula of 2/2/2/2/2/wildcard. Some leniency after that and with injuries/suspensions. This is for league, for the cup/UCL, I’m pretty lenient
FA Cup Round 3 Draw: Home clubs listed first Watford - Bolton St Pauli - Burnley Salford - Blackpool West Brom - Havre AC Spurs - Scunthorpe Man City - Fiorentina Preston - Doncaster Newcastle - Gillingham Leyton Orient - Bristol City Wigan - Wimbledon Millwall - St Pats Barca - Hull City Everton - QPR Man United - Portsmouth SL Benfica - Real Madrid Oxford United - Arsenal Reading - Leeds Norwich - Milan Barnsley - Ipswich Blackburn - Coventry Swansea - Peterboro Stoke City - Sheffield United Middlesbrough - Rotherham MK Dons - Finn Harps Huddersfield - Chelsea Hearts - Luton Town Dynamo Kyiv - Cardiff FC Nantes - Aston Villa Atlanta - Birmingham Fulham - Derby Nottingham Forest - Bournemouth Charlton - Brentford 3 user vs user matches in round 3!
Going live on twitch now for the UCL draw. As usual I will do a random draw until I get so there are no groups with 0 users and no groups with 4 users
Trying to go live but it keeps giving me an error message “This game does not allow live streaming” I’ll still set up UCL now but will try to get that sorted before doing an actual sim. Is there a time frame that would make it easier for people to watch? Was thinking late afternoon most days but tomorrow the UEFA WCQ playoffs start at 3:45 EDT so was thinking earlier on those days
Got lucky and first draw had all groups with 2-3 users and came out with next to no groups with multiple clubs from one country. I did swap cpu PSG and cpu Shakhtar because PSG has been in group with Nantes and Shakhtar had been in group with Dynamo Kyiv
Group A: Scunthorpe United, Bayern Munich, Fiorentina, Atletico Madrid Group B: Olympiacos, St Pats, Galatasaray, Stoke City Group C: Havre AC, Salford City, Club Brugge, Milan Group D: Finn Harps; Napoli, Young Boys, Manchester City Group E: FC Barcelona, Chelsea, FC Porto, Atlanta United Group F: Hearts, Dynamo Kyiv, PSG, PSV Group G: Spurs, SL Benfica, Real Madrid, RB Salzburg Group H: Manchester United, Shakhtar, FC St Pauli, FC Nantes
I got the streaming issue sorted out so I was thinking I’ll try to go live at like 4 EDT today for the first sim. I’ll aim for that or 4-4:30 many week days but will adjust based on what else is happening each day. The WCQ I mentioned tomorrow and Tuesday would mean shooting for earlier or later. Same for UCL/UEL/UECL match days
I’m not positive this is correct but I think the ratings are just based off starters but star rating is the whole roster
I actually like my team, aside from the Zielensky pick. Ready for my team to fail spectacularly and Zielensky be my best player.

For some reason the game doesn’t have the Le. But I just listened to the pronunciation on Wikipedia for you so I can do better. Le Hav-uh
subbing off my 1st round pick at the half is gonna get this manager sacked by week 3 if it happens again
Worse, the Salah sub happened BEFORE half. Didn’t even wait for half, at the 45th minute he yanked him rather than let him get to half. I don’t understand
5 of the 10 matches had a sub at 45’ before halftime. 5 additional subs at 46’ coming out of half. If the trend of non injury related pre half subs continues, it’s going to drive me nuts watching that
Calling shenanigans on some backup from the Chinese league scoring the moment he is subbed into the game
