I’ve got 2 players in mind but not sure of their comparative potential on the game.

So in the end I went for neither ;D

It was good you picked Abidal since Toprak got injured in a go-kart accident and was out until 1 January 2010 in the game after that. Absurdly though, even though he had a broken leg in real life is was just a "medical absence" so he'll be in full training the whole time so he'll still be developing  :P Lucky break, huh?

I've only a couple of more squads to add future transfer dates on to protect them from being shipped out on a free transfer during the seven year sim, so I'm almost good to go. Will definitely be before I go to bed tonight  :wave

I will take cellphone photos of the squads so people can see I've put the right players in tomorrow and will report on a month-to-month basis in each season thread :)

Our teams are so arrogant in Europe that I don't even know where to begin  :butt :butt :butt :butt :butt

Given this was supposed to be the World Domination draft and everyone seems unhappy after two seasons with five to go my suggestion is that we do like this:

We keep all points from the first two seasons and then each and every drafter gets five more picks, we begin from 2009 again and do six seasons rather than seven. We need to properly ransack the other clubs to do world domination. We can't have Didier Fucking Drogba playing against our teams in Europe, because these managers are too inept to take such a player out even with a better team.

So, sincerely I believe we should do five extra picks with this one. To do a world domination draft and see Real, Chelsea and Inter piss all over us with their remnants and oldies isn't okay FFS.

Also, our players have knocked the shit out of one another, making our poor depths stick out like sore thumbs. Fucking sucks. We have the best players in the world but they pretend like they're NFL 300-pounders and destroy all sorts of body parts on each opposition team all the fucking time.

So everyone, up for it or not, five more picks, back to 2009, Didier Drogba to the SPL and six more seasons?

Yeah i figured it was lack of depth that was killing the European performances but I do think we will see an SPL team win CL at some point. We have already had an EL win. I think we should just let this carry on. If Dynamo Kyiv can do it, then so can Hamilton Academical.

We need to improve our coeficent a bit though, so we get more spots, so we have more chances to do better in european competitions.

Offline deFacto please, you bastards
