    Nope, though you should go buy one anyway to make it through this quarantine without losing what’s left of your mind

    We draft teams, snake fashion pretty sure confined to Europe. Fill team with subs and Shaun simulates the season with stats, injuries and banter.

    It’s a FIFA sim draft + season. You draft a starting 11 based on the following criteria:

    2 players from each of the following leagues:

    EPL
    La Liga
    Bundesliga
    Serie A
    Ligue 1

    And one wildcard. Bench picks are open to all leagues with no player minimums. The point is to build a team you like and not one built on simply selecting the highest ranked option every time. The commissioner sims a season and cups, and the computer does things that make zero sense, so be prepared for Lucas Vasquez (wasn’t that who it was?) to be the best player in the world.

    That is correct Lucas Vázquez >>>

    I think I even reentered the teams into the next FIFA to see if it came out different and simmed the season and he still won POTY. It wasn’t close either.

    Also TheFreak55 we draft a full 23 so we have 5 extras beyond starters and bench because of red cards, card accumulation and injuries.

    Unfortunately Chile is still locked away in a prison on the outskirts of Santiago and won't be available to participate. As such we need 1 more to fill out the league...

    Nexus will start that as I won’t be able to keep it updated and run the draft.

    He may have been waiting to know our participants. I’ll run a randomizer as soon as we fill the last spot

    I'll start the draft thread once we finalize the the last spot and as Shaun mentioned he'll randomly generate the draft order. The plan is to begin Monday morning unless there are any objections. 3 hour limit per pick for the first 11 rounds and then we'll reduce it. The clock runs 10a-10p EST Monday through Friday though picks can be made at any time. Between texting, tagging, the discord and PMs here most people make their picks (or give them to myself or Shaun to make for them) in a fairly timely manner. If you'd like the discord link or my number feel free to PM me and I'll include SugarShaun personal info too for the hell of it.

    Banter is encouraged.

    We have 20 so I’ll plan to run with the EPL schedule and FA Cup then. I also won’t fuck up UCL now that I know it forces a roster update in UCL mode so I need to do a custom tournament

    I am in a TMB gaming discord and a TMBSB discord. Is it one of those? I’ll join another if needed.

    I also have groupme, WhatsApp and fine with people texting or PMing me as well. Like half the people probably have my number and I don’t care if the rest do as well.

    I used the order that Nexus had the list in, which I’m guessing was the order people signed up.

    Snake rules. Once Nexus starts the draft thread this one will be about done

    23 rounds. I’ll also start up a lineup/tactics thread and then a 2020 sim thread.
    In one of those, please make sure to list which club you want to use in the sim (no International teams)

    Sorry to new guys but I’ll give first dibs to returnees on the club they used last year
