Accrington Stanley plz

You're not choosing Norwich?

Can I have MK Dons please as they are local to me.

Yeah it does work like that, I chose Crawley

Marky wrote:You're not choosing Norwich?

I want to be successful

Macc Town for me!

Once everyone chooses their team name (an easy way to make sure people are still interested) we can begin the drafting.

Liaoning Whowin for me please!

Trebs wrote:Liaoning Whowin for me please!

Surprised they weren't snapped up sooner

Who win the league? Me

Based on your usual transfers unlikely.

I just like that in theory Crawley Town, Accrington Stanley and/or Macclesfield Town may have an away fixture in Hong Kong

Lol.

Vancouver Whitecaps for me. First signing, Peter Beardsley.

Calling it the World League. Seeing as we now span at least 3 continents.

Macc Town will go into liquidation with those away trips, they can barely afford a coach to Accrington.

That's mine and Trebs' plan, you all start the season with -10pts and we duke it out for the title.

Ill be Chesham Utd

Must resist urge to choose stupid team name! Soooooo I guess I'll just choose LOS GALACTICOS

Los Galacticos isn't a real team name

Please marky let me have them It's either that or I'll choose this one instead.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botswana_Meat_Commission_F.C.

Knowing Nadz's previous teams then it's more likely he'll get together the original Galacticos.

Just choose Real Madrid

Just do what i did and edit it everytime he changed it to something awful

I only changed it because I got Atletico nando Only fair I took the urine out of them.

Fine my team will be called Real Madrid Club de Fútbol

I'll have the mighty Ebbsfleet United

Only viva left to choose a name.

Just give him Salford City and let's get cracking.

Or Valencia since he's on Gary Neville's level.

I'd like to call my team Manchester United.

If you play free flowing football you will be sacked & sent to Valencia.

All in now?

indeed

How's the draft going down then Marky?

like a cheap hooker on viva's Winkle.

Just vom'd a little in my mouth at that.

^ viva's hooker

Excited to have a league going again

Note to all though, I have a newborn coming any time in the next six weeks.

I've got a certain way I want to play, wouldn't call it free flowing football but it's definitely not restrictive Football.

All the best! Get some sleep in now!

Azzy wrote:Note to all though, I have a newborn coming any time in the next six weeks.

Congrats!

Nice one Azzy.

Will get on with the draft tomorrow morning at work, if everyone could PM me their one star player bid, high bid wins the player, minimum bid of their TM value. Any part of their £150m budget can be spent but obviously you will need a squad of between 20-25 so spend wisely. No budget boosts here.

I'll send mine to BamBam before I open any PM's.

Also time to sort the two leagues of five.

Azzy - Vancouver Whitecaps
BamBam - Ebbsfleet United
Holymiky - MK Dons
Marky - Crawley Town
Nadeem - Real Madrid
Olly - Accrington Stanley
Trebs - Liaoning Whowin
Viva - Manchester United
Hero - Macclesfield Town
Nando - Chesham United

If someone trustworthy can randomise this list on random.org please, the clubs will alternate so every odd number is in the Premier League and every even number is in the Championship.

No price restriction, up to you if you want Messi and cheap players or a better balance.
