- Spoiler:
Would anybody be up for a realistic league using the premier league? Have 16 teams, cut the three promoted sides and one other team out as it makes cup running easier and easier to get all the managers in. Different teams would have different targets for the managers. Some of the teams like Man United and Man City would want a title win, whilst some of the lower teams like Norwich would see it as an achievement to avoid relegation. Each season would last fifteen weeks, with tactics due by Friday night and match results announced on a Monday morning, so we have a Premier League weekend.
Tactics and the team played would both be taken into account when deciding on a result, so shocks can happen, if a small side is set up much better than they can draw or even win games despite playing a better side on paper, just like what would happen in real life. At the end of each season the bottom three are relegated, top four get into a Champions League with four foreign teams, the next four into the Europa League and the bottom eight into FA Cup. But for the first season everyone takes part in an FA Cup, which would be easy to run with 16 teams.
The teams would be done via a random draw, but if managers both agree then swaps are allowed, and also any manager can swap their side for one of the promoted sides if they would prefer a challenge with a lower team.

My squad is only at the size of 22 players as I decided to leave out Korey Smith, Chris Martin, Simon Lappin (King of Spain) and obviously can't have Wilbs or Whitbread

Re: Realistic Premier League
Rickie Lambert is a beast, he's the best player to have ever come from Macc Town (though in fairness his rivals for that acclaim are Jon Parkin and Tyrone Barnett).

Re: Realistic Premier League
I have decided my strategy. I will sign players from the lower leagues, or youngsters from the top teams. I don't want overpaid journeymen *cough* QPR *cough*

Re: Realistic Premier League
How long between foriegns and the league actually starting?
As with one per day (and that's even if it is then accepted) it may strangle the market as no-one will be able to sell too many in order to replace them.

I'm really waiting for foreigns to open as that is where I aim to make most of my signings.
Set up a releases page but waiting for Trebs to confirm how they will work, and then I will fill it in properly

--------------------------Krul-------------
--------?------Collocini-----?----BAE---
Decent basis for a defence, and Sandro is a very good replacement for Tiote.

He was probably 1st or second best LB in the Prem last season, and I can't see me getting better in Foreigns, all things considering.

Re: Realistic Premier League
Baines, Jose Enrique, Clichy, A.Cole were all better than BAE last season IMO. But considering foreigns and stuff he is a good signing I agree

Re: Realistic Premier League
I think Enrique was good for first half of season, then did nothing - with the opposite way round being true for A.Cole.
Maybe Baines was slightly better, but throughout season I thought he impressed.
Sandro also did well, and I'm not a great fan of Tiote so not overly disappointed to lose him.
AMC, CB and RB my main areas to improve.
