    i'd say try and time it to have the season start on the 4/5th of december, so open it around the 29/30th of november to allow the 5 friendlies. that way your league will be 30 games in, PPPP's will be 10 and these connect leagues should be 4/5 games in

    If we're going with the earlier suggestion people just nominating teams to be entered in, but have the teams still assigned at random, then I want to nominate Southend United and Cork City. I think I remember you saying that you might allow League of Ireland clubs anyway, seeming as, at most, they're the same standard as League Two clubs!

    ...And if we're going with "small" clubs....then all the clubs will have to be small. For purposes of equalisation, revenue is going to be tricky if it's going to be a team of small clubs I presume? Small club = small stadium =small revenue = losing money if your paying Ronaldo 200k a week!:(

    I've just taken over Cork City in the Irish Championship 2 and it's crazy the amount of players that are still at externals. Only 10 teams in the league, each with 22 players on average means there's only (approximately) 220 players actually signed. It's weird seeing 90+ players at external clubs in such an old league.

    It's a completely different challenge!!

    So as I said yesterday I'm going too start a league soon (next few weeks) with NO teams from any premier division around Europe (well maybe irish prem) they'll be teams from the second tier ie championship or lower. No manager will get too choose his team or division too start off with ill just do a random generator too decide this. Has anyone any suggestions for this world? Squad cap won't be needed as the best players in the world will all be at externals so it will just be a matter of affording them.

    How much cash are you assigning per club on start up?

    Is that your choice or is it not an option? The last league I created (THE LEAGUIO DE LA OBSCURIA - similar theme to this it seems) I assigned £300m to each start up manager ...

    If I get the option too decide how much ill give each team a nice chunk but doubt itll be 300m that will defeat the purpose imo

    Hey - I wouldn't be tellin anyone how to set up their league - just askin some questions and offering some feedback. The way it worked out was a bit mental to be honest. We had a mad scramble to bring the world's best to our little clubs. There were epic struggles to sign Messi and Ronaldo, who then refused to sign for the winning clubs! Then we all spent all our £300m (or most of us did) only to find out that our poxy 5,000 seater stadia were not bringing in the bucks to pay the wages. So we all ended up finishing Season 1 with minus £15m in the bank. Or at least I did. Ahem.

    Some lessons perhaps!

    Sorry if I seemed harsh there. Ya the whole point of this world is that managers will build a team. The avg team rateing will be around 70-75 so managers will have too do some Harry style wheeling and dealing. Giving them 300 million kinda defeats that IMO

    I'd let the computer decide transfer budgets. No point having small teams with 200/300m, I thought the point was to be a wheeler dealer and make the most of your small budget? Obviously it's your league though, so do what you want :)

    Yeah go with small budget. Makes everyone work harder to succeed and we all start at the same level, both of which should ensure that everyone has a greater connection with their team hence league lasts longer.

    Im in a GW with a few leagues of 10 teams, would strongly push that idea as it limits/prevents the midseason slump

    Oh and small budgets please

    No probs. I have some class leagues and always need good managers so keep in touch.

    That one I told yous about - where I took the obscure clubs and gave them £300m each to start? For some reason that was all taken away after about half a season - what I mean is all the Unmanaged Clubs lost their £300m. Which was a bit annoying. And funny.
