I know there's a really good player named Yaya Toure and that's about it for me.

TheFlyingLlama posted:what would you be running this in anyways? I'd assume FM, but who knows FM2012 because a) I already covered a lot of the database modding work last time. b) It has less off the pitch bullshit to deal with and c) I have like 400 hours in it so I can work out kinks as they show. Also, this time, instead of a player draft, I'm coming up with a team buy system á la SL, so bear with me whilst I type up 75 or so short team reviews so you guys don't have to do too much prep work. Edit: I sorted based on team reputation, so there will be some dark horses in there...

tatankatonk posted:Are we picking historical players? Or are we just picking modern teams? Just picking teams atm, though if people want me to add in some specific players I may be tempted to do them (though it would be at an "x per team" basis obviously) Anyways, here's the (provisional) teams list, I'm still rooting around in the database for balance issues This is being simmed in FM2012, so these teams are the 2011 vintage 6 points to spend each 5 point Barcelona - Strengths: Formidable attack, focussed around Messi, arguably the best player in the world. Weaknesses: A focus on attack can lead to gaps in defence Real Madrid - Strengths: Formidable attack, focussed around Ronaldo, arguably the best player in the world Weaknesses: Can be caught out on the counter-attack Manchester United - Strengths: Well-disciplined and experienced throughout the team Weaknesses: Ageing team, some players passing their peak. MLS All-Stars (Not a historic team, but a curious one, methinks) - Strengths: The best players in the MLS Weaknesses: The best players in the MLS are usually about a year from retirement at this point. 4 point Chelsea - Strengths: Strong defence, Good offence Weaknesses: No real great players, ageing defence and strikeforce FC Bayern - Strengths: Great midfield and goalkeeper Weaknesses: Lack a truly great defence Inter Milan - Strengths: Solid in all areas Weaknesses: Old A.C. Milan - Strengths: Solid in all areas Weaknesses: Old Juventus - Strengths: Solid in all areas Weaknesses: Old (This is a pattern with Italian teams) Manchester City - Strengths: Very good defence and midfield Weaknesses: Less good strikeforce Porto - Strengths: Good midfield Weaknesses: Mediocre defence Arsenal - Strengths: Good offence Weaknesses: So-so defence Roma - Strengths: Solid in all areas Weaknesses: Old Liverpool - Strengths: Good defence and midfield Weaknesses: Mediocre strikeforce 3 point SLB (Benfica) O. Lyon Valencia At. Madrid Sporting Lisbon Schalke Paris Saint-Germain Olympic Marseilles Dortmund Napoli Internacional Tottenham 2 point Werder Bremen Zenit St. Petersberg Sevilla Santos Leverkusen Fiorentina Fluminese Shakhtar Donetsk CSKA Moscow Stuttgart Málaga HSV Vasco Fenerbahche Villareal Ajax Wolfsburg PSV Lazio 1 point Corinthians Sao Paulo Boca Rubin Palermo Spartak Moscow Dinamo Moscow Chivas Mexico Gremio Flamengo Galatasaray Besiktas Athletic Bilbao América (MEX) Dynamo Kyiv Braga Genoa Olympiakos LOSC Lille Palmeiras Espanyol Lokomotiv Moscow Cruz Azul Udinese Metalist Getafe Pumas FC Twente Prague Cruzeiro ForeverBWFC fucked around with this message at 02:38 on Nov 7, 2015 |

So just to note, we're not picking teams yet, right? You're still fiddling with things. Just wanted that to be clarified so people don't start going nuts. Also, add Eintracht Frankfurt please. I need to pick them.

Yeah, I'm currently paging around and making a shortlist of teams I would find interesting, and even constraining myself to the Bundesliga teams, there is very little information beyond goalscorers and poo poo. This is where you'll just have to take a shot in the dark with the information you get. Whatever ForeverBWFC writes up will probably be your best bet.

Added quick and dirty summaries for the 4 and 5 point teams, need to sleep before I do the others (if you're planning on building a squad with 1 and 2 point teams, you're more interested in combing through for good individuals anyway, I assume)

I may just pick my team based on which team names amuse me the most. e: Is the team called Pumas actually comprised of a bunch of pumas? If not, could I please pick a team consisting of 12 pumas? Mornacale fucked around with this message at 04:20 on Nov 7, 2015 |

excuse you, that's kw's gimmick --- also, oldskool, what happened to your 2010 Felix Hernandez? He threw 6.2 innings for you in SLXVI, but I can't find him on your roster this season or on the trade spreadsheet. What kinda lottery ticket would you be looking for for him, assuming you still have his rights? Just for ease, assuming you sent him back to your feeders or "cut" him or w/e because you don't value him, I'll go ahead and offer: Florida Oranges get any player off Genoa Janus feeders Genoa Janus get 2010 Felix Hernandez e: Alternately, I'd love to talk to you about a deal centered on my Ty Cobb + something (maybe a 3B?) for your Tris Speaker + Felix.

I think whoever gets Barcelona would only really be competing against whoever gets Real Madrid.

I'd join the Premiership again as well but as Milt said, 5 points for getting basically the Midfield and Attack of Barcelona will run havoc on things. and even their defense isn't horrible either. the main problem is that depth is not quite as improtant unless we simulate all 3 contests because changes don't happen as often in football. But hey maybe I'm wrong.
