FM Online Challenge - The Gauntlet has been thrown down
Since we all keep saying "I really want to play an online game of FM2005".. I figured I'd better take the initative and lay the challenge down formally.
I'm not looking for a big game, maybe 5 people tops.. I'd like to give current non-dynasty writers priority for two reasons: A) I don't want to take away from their current dynasties (I read em at work all the time) and B) I was figuring to write it up. Also: I'm willing for lower level game, or all as fairly big teams, but I'd like to keep it in the same division, whichever we decide, that way we get lots of PvP action ![]()

i'm in.. but i can only really play on weekends, and upper division teams would be better for a 3+ person game..
I wouldn't mind doing a lower league game in the future though Last edited by Ragone : 01-01-2005 at 03:41 PM. |

Ok.. obvious divisions then to run for an Online Game
English Premier League (come on, who doesn't know of it ![]() Pros: Lots of good teams (ManYoo, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, etc) Cons: Everybody plays England, Work Permits Italian Serie A Pros: Several good teams, several RICH teams Cons: Variable # of non-EU players La Liga (Spanish top league) Pros: Some of the richest teams in the world are here. And even scarier, some of em aren't named Real Madrid. Cons: Limited EU policy, Real Madrid. ![]() German Bundesliga Pros: Pretty well balanced Cons: Not a lot of super cash teams here Dutch Eredivisie Pros: Very Liberal policy with regards to Non-EU Players Cons: Limited # of good teams (4 giants, rest dwarves) Scottish Premier League Pros: The Old Firm Cons: Everybody else PLUS Work permits MLS Pros: We can take local teams Cons: We can only buy local players ![]()

Italy sounds interesting. Same with France. How are you thinking of assigning teams?

What I was figuring on:
Everybody picks a team from the league we choose, and then draw randomly for team selection. That way we get the top teams from the league, but we don't have a problem with the great teams being taken by someone who got in first ![]() Italy would be best for high level, France is mid to high level (about Holland/Portugal level talent)

If you have room for another player, I would like to give multiplayer FM a try.
Leagues: Germany English LLM (Conference N/S) Maybe something nobody plays like Israel or Korea? Availability: late week nights and weekends (eastern timezone) |

I'm interested.
Italy Seria A is my top choice, but I'd take part anywhere. I'd prefer to play in the top league though. |

Looks like Italy is the #1 choice.
Here's a list of pretty good teams from the Serie A: AC Milan Inter Milan (or Internazionale) Parma (although they won't have much money to start, their parent company, Parmalat, is bankrupt) Udinese Roma Juventus Fiorentina (although, they are expected to battle relegation) Lazio I'll be the first to add a team into the pool of player controlled teams: AC MILAN

we're not "claiming teams" per se.. we're building the pool of teams available, once everybody's chosen a team, a random draw will decide what team you get (fairest way)

Ah.. in that case I would put the priority list by strength (IMHO of course) as:
Milan Juve Inter Roma Lazio Parma Fiorentina Udinese So if we have 4 players then draw from the teams down to Roma, if we have 6 then down to Parma etc. |

do we have a better idea of when gaming sessions would be? because that will determine whether or not I can participate...

hmmmn. well weekend evenings I am (generally) free after 9pm EST. and it's pretty doubtful that's negotiable on my part (I'd have to jigger my work schedule and be willing to work at 5am which I don't see happening for anything or anyone). So I don't know...depends on how that fits.
