    No on both counts. I'd do it but have too many breaks in my day that I'd annoy the fuck out of everyone.

    I’ll kick myself if I have to watch this from the outside while we are all barricaded in our homes from the coronavirus scourge, so sure. Can’t be worse than Arsenal.

    I’m going to need to be another year removed from my co-championship as I don’t yet want all of you to know that ohhaithur was the brains behind the operation.

    Draft based solely on fifa rankings this year. "Lets draft the best IRL team regardless of fifa rankings" *thread proceeds to mock teams doing poorly during FIFA sim* Hazard, Suarez, Pogba, Sane, Dembele COME ON DOWN

    There are always exceptions to the draft when it comes to injuries.
    I don’t think anyone assumes Sane suddenly sucks because he hasn’t played a match

    My point was people boasting or shitting on people based on the sim without regard for the actual team and how they'd look irl

    as someone whose team sucks every sim, don't let nexus get to you, we all know he sorts on speed before he drafts.

    I'd rather we have a full roster and the draft take longer, than go in with fewer people.

    So I say join us Pasta88

    Any idea why Fifa20 is still over $50 to download? I thought most years it’s like $15 at this point.

    It’s like that, but in video game form.

    Now sitting at 17. Need either 1 or 3 more participants with Owsley currently pending.

    Have been kicking around the idea of starting the draft either later this week or waiting until Monday morning, thoughts?

    Reading comprehension isn’t my strong suit.
    One day I’ll figure out what my strong suit is but I know it’s not that
