1FF Football Management Game (Main Thread)

[LiverpoolFan1]

Here are the rules:

The aim of the game is to get your team as high in the league as possible and achieve your objectives.

These are the minimum objectives for each of the teams:
Arsenal - Win the title
Aston Villa - Avoid relegation
Bournemouth - Avoid relegation
Chelsea - Top seven
Crystal Palace - Top half
Everton - Top half
Leicester - Top four
Liverpool - Top six
Man City - Win the title
Man Utd - Top four
Newcastle - Avoid relegation
Norwich - Avoid relegation
Southampton - Top half
Stoke - Top half
Sunderland - Avoid relegation
Swansea - Avoid relegation
Tottenham - Top four
Watford - Top twelve
West Brom - Top twelve
West Ham - Top eight

We will start with the current squads as of 18/01/16 and use the same fixture lists from real-life.

The game will take place in real time, and we will start from the position after the Swansea v Watford match.

There will be various threads for the game, one for squads, one for transfers, one for injuries, one for stats, one for matchday overview and one for each week of matches. Feel free to create a thread specifically for your club if you want.

Ooooh, what is this here game?

I have to say that I disagree with the board's expectations. Looking at the Liverpool squad I have inherited I think Premier League survival would be a fairer ask.

Probably true but I don't think the board would be too happy with that.

So everyone needs to pick their side before games commence on Saturday?

Arsenal vs Chelsea opener for me on Sunday?

Yep, that's right.

 

[Christian Slater]

Yep, that's right.

Are you simulating this on FM or something? Do I get a squad list?

I still have no idea what we're supposed to do. The rules didn't consist of any actual rules, point scoring system or explanation of what we're supposed to do. You've asked for us to put our squad choices up but what's the point? Surely we'd get attributed points for the players that play, not the ones we might choose that don't actually get game time so the point would be just to choose the squad that the actual manager comes up with.

Not got the fuckng foggiest what we're doing here tbh.

I'm using an online simulator to generate the results. You need to create your own squad list from the players available at your club and then post it in the squads thread, and then you pick your starting XI and subs from this squad.

The aim is to get your team as high as possible in the league and match or better your expectations. You need to choose your squad so that you can pick your team from it. You want to pick the team that you think will you give you the best chance of winning. You could go for the same as the team picked in real life, or make changes that you think will boost your chances.

But how do the players score points if theyre not actually selected?

I don't understand what you mean. What points?

 

[JimJams]

I didn't see the bit before about you using an online simulator. So basically we have no real input do we?

You do have input based on the teams you pick, the transfers you make and your substitutions and tactics.
