Ok, I had a look at the soccer wiki ...

the lowest avg rated team(included subs) in my list of maybe's is @ 75, the rest are @81-84,
considering Barca are @ 86, how big is a 5-10 gap in avg rating?

Are we talking 3/4/5-0 hiding week in week out?

you shouldn't really look at the avg. team rating as it's for the whole squad

I can't see where you seen the 86 avg. for Barca but i'd say it includes youth players loaned out to Barca B, but they're not rated 86...

from here http://en.soccerwiki.org/squad.php?clubid=140 if you take their squad not including players on loan it's total is 2204, 24 players = avg. squad rating of 92

their starting line up of this for example:
............................valdes-93
Alves-94.......puyol-95....Pique-95.....Alba-92
...........................Busquets-95........................
.......Fabregas-95.........Xavi-97.......Iniesta-97........
.......................Messi-99........Villa-94

it's got a rating of 95

That line up would destroy teams with a rating of 81-84, even up to the high 80's probably, though the difference the gap in average rating makes the closer it is isn't as noticeable & also when the teams are managed by someone instead of the game itself

like if you start as a div. 4 club & get your line up rating to 85/86 you'll walk the division as the others will have high 70's & low 80's ratings, hammering teams a lot of the time

Anzhi Makhachkala please

GT_TDI_150

My 'shortlist' consisted of the following:

• Swindon - very low player ratings - im a dreamer - club means a lot to me but just not enough to make a fool out of me here
• Club Brugge - team i followed growing up in Belgium
• Newcastle - 'my team' but picked b4 me
• Anderlecht
• Celtic
• PSV
• AJAX
• Feyenoord
• Santos
• Corithians
• Gremio
• Boca
• River
• Zenit
• Porto
• Benfic
• Besiktas
• Galatasaray

I did lean toward some Brazilian teams till i spotted some of their good players are on loan from other picks in our gw here ... I just see loan recalls there

Any way, porto i went for, happy with my choice ... I think

you don't have to, you can manage two clubs.

If you pay - Gold Manager, i think it's called - you can manage more + do other stuff

Maldjd23

Will a code be posted here so we can join the league or what way does it work?

Daemos

Plus, how to ensure the person requesting a team on SM is actually the boardsie who requested it, and not just someone on SM who saw a team available and went for it?

wnolan1992

I assume there's a link or a code to use to join the custom GW. Easiest way to do it would be if when MrMac sets up the GW, if he PM'd everyone on the list the code. Then it'd just be down to the honour system for everyone to choose the teams they're down as. If you try to steal another players team, you get crossed off the list and can't play at all.

Then if more people want to join, they post on the thread, MrMac or someone else PM's them the code/link, and they select one of the managerless teams in the divisions.

Yup Gold managers can manage 10 clubs and international teams and also certain competitions only gold managers can select tactics but thats just one cup
