    He only supports MLS because of P&Gs sponsorship.

    Also assume he will take Bobby Chompers in a hot minute.

    what is it exactly? An FC24 fantasy draft that is played out how?

    We each pick a club and then do a snake draft 23 rounds.

    First 11 rounds have to be your starters and format for selecting is: 2 each from Prem, Bundesliga, LaLiga, Serie A and then 2 other from any other leagues. 1 wildcard for a 3rd from one of those.

    No one else but me is required to have FC 24.

    Everyone gives me their formation, tactics, player instructions and I update the rosters and put those in then create a league with all our squads and run a simulation with a Matchday per day. Then will tag posters for any forced changes due to injuries, cards, etc.

    I don’t think we’ve ever had an Arsenal fan participate so this would be a first

    Cool. You can also make changes to formation/tactics/instructions throughout the season. There will likely be some sort of forced change that alters your lineup but if not, I tend to be flexible once we get past Matchday 10 with maybe swapping out guys but still keeping the format.

    I also typically run a Champions League and cup where I’m very lenient on lineups

    I’d do it but don’t want to twist Shaun’s arm into simming if he’s not into it; this year’s game really sucks and I wouldn’t even want nexus to play it

    Anyone know if it’s available free on Game Pass/EA Play yet? I didn’t buy it this year.

    If so and we have a full group and someone can run the draft thread then I’d be happy to run the sim

    It’s one of my favorite things about the board and I missed it last year

    It’s not on EA Play/Game Pass yet but apparently last year it went up in June

    Plus there’s a 10 hour trial I never used and it’s only $13.99 so I can run the sim if we get numbers
