Well I don't really need to do anything else and I want to get this started quickly so I'm going to choose the captains for the teams that haven't picked.


Wigan Pathetic FC - Captain (Michael Ballack), Vice Captain (William Gallas)

Liverpool Leg Ends - Captain (Jamie Carragher), Vice Captain (Esteban Cambiasso)

West Country FC - Captain (Frank Lampard), Vice Captain (Darijo Srna)


I'm going to be loading up the game now and will hope to have this started later today.

 

[hedger_14]

Everybodys Season Expectations have been set to "Top Half Finish".

Transfer Budgets have been set for all teams to 100M pounds while Wage Budgets have been set to 1M pounds above what your club is already spending so current wages doesn't mean much


Also as a surprise, the top Team qualifies for the European Champions Cup (UEFA Champions League) and Teams placed 2nd-4th qualify for the EURO Cup (UEFA Cup). That is all for the moment.

 

[shantanu_rooney]

Cant wait for the season to start, hopefully my team can finish in the top 4 atleast.

 

[hedger_14]

Got the big local derby first up, so lets hope I got my tactics just right and The Cove are out in full voice to support The Cove

 

[hedger_14]

I was wondering whether to allow Advanced Tactics as it's a league but if you want to, I guess you can. I have said any amount of U19 on the bench. If MaD posts his lineup in the next few minutes, I can play the first game tonight, maybe.
