    I'll take Club America in Mexico if that's OK?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,099 ✭✭✭tonic wine


    Ok so with 14 players already, how would ye like the league to be set up? One mega division or two divisions of 7, it might give something to play for with promotion and relegation?

    I'd go with two division's, i like the idea of promotion/relegation, adds a little more to the league.

    Maybe split it up in order of FIFA rankings, top teams in division 2?

    Yeah that seems fair enough to me, any objections?

    I'd be happy to :) Sure we can leave it til around this time tmw and if there's no more, we'll go ahead.

    I reckon I'll add these as filler teams in case later on: Turkey, Croatia, Serbia, Denmark, Sweden, Bosnia & Herzegovina. That would give 22 and two divisions of 11, or else drop Sweden & Denmark for two divisions of 10?

    With Mexico being latest addition at 17 that would make 23.

    Right that's what we have so far above, 17 players and I've thrown in 6 fillers, surely that's plenty. I went with that six as they seem to have the higher rated players compared to most other nations and most likely more popular players. If ye want it trimmed down let me know.

    Does the above seem ok? Two divisions of 12?


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,917 ✭✭✭✭GT_TDI_150


    How will ya do the divisions?

    There was a good suggestion above to use FIFA rankings and put the top tier teams into division 2 and lower into div 1. However, with the filler teams, that could end up with one division packed with unmanaged...

    A quick look at the rankings would give:

    Division 1:

    Holland
    France
    Poland
    Russia
    Mexico
    Ireland

    (Unmanaged)

    Turkey
    Croatia
    Bosnia & Herzegovina
    Serbia
    Denmark
    Sweden




    Division 2

    Spain
    Germany
    Brazil
    Portugal
    Argentina
    Switzerland
    Uruguay
    Colombia
    Italy
    England
    Belgium
    Chile

    So if it doesn't bother lads we can do it, or else random generation maybe.

    I'd prefer to start in Div 2 regardless.

    guys ...

    even though we haven't even started yet ... what do you make of this idea:

    How about after season one or two completes(depending how many GW are in a season) every team is allowed to buy one 'ringer'?

    ie. you can buy ONE player that isn't native to your country?

    We will all have a 300m budget, so we should be able to buy the vast majority of the players we want to get.

    I just though that it might be a good idea that you could pick up ONE outsider ... if a country is struggling to produce a decent DL, and you know of a half decent DL not picked up by its native team ... or if there is a youth player with potential that was ignored by a manager ... you could pick up ONE such player...

    Lets call it the grandparent rule ;)

    What do you think?

    The game won't let you... You'd have to not set it as an 'own nations league' and hope that no one acts the maggot

    Nice try would have helped me a lot, although it might be good to suggest that to soccer manager as they tend to only give people one nationality but there is many with duel nationality.

    Duel can play for both nations. I'll be fighting it out with Brazil for Costa :)

    no you want cause he's spanish in the eyes of fifa


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,952 ✭✭✭JamboMac


    Yeah I think if you search by Spanish or Brazilian he'll only come up as one nationality like everybody else with duel nationalities.

    Kersplat I know what duel means but I don't think it's implemented.

    Ah Swoody...

    Take a look at my Real Zaragoza team in another gameworld. Have a look at ASA in that league, yes the Brazilian ASA. Now tell me who their top striker is? Is it Costa by any chance? FIFA can do what they want, I'm saying that in SM, in cases like Costas, they can play for both.

    Apology accepted :)

    Actually, I'm pretty certain you'll just be ably to buy him yourself.

    I grabbed this from the world's most reliable source (:P)

    Internationally, Costa played twice with Brazil in 2013, but later declared his desire to represent Spain, having been granted Spanish citizenship in September 2013. He made his debut for his adopted nation in March 2014.

    In the league you're talking about, he was bought in March 2013, when he only qualified for Brazil. But then, as you can see, in September 2013 he was declared a Spanish citizen, after which he went on to make his debut for Spain which essentially has tied him to that one nation.

    Yeah! Consider yourself told Wilberto!!

    Apology accepted...

    :cool:

    Edit: this is great news for me, don't need to compete with anyone for him :)
