    Yeah I reckon we can do 12. 3 matches against each?

    Let's have a few days to compile lists/get thing set up and we'll draft on....Wednesday at midday?

    I'll knock up a thread later. Draft order will be based on league position and everyone gets a euro player this season. Top 4 get one from that point forward, ALL leagues are eligible for Euro players. Domestic leagues remain the same ie England down to national league, Scotland down to league 2

    If that's the consensus then I'm happy with that. I think it has to be all or none though.

    Personal opinion is that it adds a bit more interest and gives a bigger incentive. I think we'd need a different incentive for a top 3/4 finish if we don't do euro players.

    It takes away interest, everyone having one last year was shit

    We already have far less teams with no reduction in leagues.

    Sack off Euro players IMO. Seems a bit like a restart here anyway given a third of the teams are new. Fewer players means squads can be stacked so Euro players are a bit too much and adds a ballache for those doing results. Possibly allow keepers for final round or something as an idea to give bonus for high finishers last year?

They’re almost always on different times for starters, which often means some teams only have a couple of people playing on a Saturday at 3pm. There’s barely any romance on this game anymore, nobody gives a shit about it. If you take Euro players out the majority of players will be on Soccer Saturday and it would keep interest IMO. Also for whoever is doing the scores it’s a bit less of a ball ache too.
    This sums up my exact feelings on them from when it was brought up months ago

    Do it Rosk. We can get a league of 16 again at this rate.

    Personally I don't mind foregoing Euro players this season but sof won the RFF Cup last season and should be rewarded in some way. Me and BBF at least have early draft picks as a reward for Euro qualification.

    Sof won the cup and all of the glory that comes with it.

    You really need people to commit now, and not just a halfarsed “yeah I’ll have a go” from people who don’t know how to play and then get bored after losing their first two games. Then you’re back where you started.

    I'm fine with no euro players and I'm also fine with no keepers and a random draft order as so many teams are new

    If people don't post a team for 4 weeks in a row do we just replace them with a real team? Probably stupid just throwing it out there

    Looks like Euro players are out then.

    - Squads of 7. 5 starters, 2 subs. All 7 count in the RFA & MMH Cup.
    - No Euro Players.
    - England Premier League to National League, Scotland Premier League to League Two.
    - Draft order based on table and then who signed up in the order they signed up in. This is reward enough for the players who played last year so there will be NO KEEPERS.
    - son_of_foley has an extra squad place due to his RFA Cup win. This will be his reward for the entire season, the new RFA Cup winner will receive this for next season.
    - MMH Cup has a total reset. Everyone in, last man standing wins an extra squad place until the next MMH Cup winner is crowned.

    Draft is on Wednesday at 12pm. Anyone can sign up until that point (ROSK) and then I'll sort fixtures based on however many we've got. 12 teams = 33 fixtures, 13 teams = 36 fixtures, 14 teams = 28 fixtures, 15 teams = 30 fixtures, 16 teams = 32 fixtures.

    With fewer teams, shouldn't we continue with squads of 8 to keep in check the mental number of available players / transfers?

    No keepers is also distressing and will ruin the 'available - not available' yearly cycle.

    Otherwise I like it.

    I think me and Badger were the only two left in the MMH Cup. Joint-winners.

    I'd like to keep it to squads of 7 for now. That gives us 85 players in the squads at any time and I HOPE encourage participating with transfers.

    Keepers are a total reset so everyone is available for the draft this year and next year keepers will be active again so if you draft Kane, you can keep Kane but have to put him back in the pool for the following year. Should be fine. Lets give it a go anyway, its effectively a trial season.

    The draft next year would be poorer for it as the top players (Kane, Salah, Lukaku, Dembele etc.) would likely all be kept at the same time. Currently the rotation system means that big name players will always be available in each draft - Kane, Sanchez and Griffiths definitely available this season (as they were kept last season), Salah and Lukaku available next season etc.

    A fairly minor point in the grand scheme of things but worth considering.

    Mate there are like 20 big name players if you consider there are nine leagues to choose from, and Peter Griffin is one of 12 players playing. I think it’ll be alright.

    Jib the MMH cup off, its reward is not really relevant, where it was in the past.

    To reset everyone needs to just let go of their personal feelings, No Euro players, no rewards for last season, no keepers, just a total cold reset.

    Also saying stuff like "playing against teams 3 times just doesn't feel the same", what even is that? What difference does it make? If it needs to be done then it needs to be done.

    Yep agreed. Random order reset and we can decide if we even have keepers next year by January.

    I think it has the opposite effect tbh and agree with Blue, 7 man squads were shit, you have barely any flexibility to deal with injuries, you dont make moves as your squad is stacked, and there are shit loads of players hanging around free agency. This game in its PRIME always had 8 man squads right. 7 man was the start of the downfall.

    33 fixtures is also sounds shit just play each other 4 times and go to 44

    Sofs real team replacement idea is QUITE CREATIVE

    On the fixture thing we had 30 last year and that was really shit. 33 isn't much more. I think we should be playing as many times as we can and it doesn't matter who you play, all that is luck based shit anyway. And have 8 man squads for flexibility for all the weeks!!!

    Could we delay the draft and start next week rather than this? Could give us time to get 2 more players which means 6 more game weeks

    I'll fucking shit on your spam you shit.

    This is why I wanted a couple of people to help with these decisions as whatever I decided wouldn't be ok.

    Lets do 8 man squads then. MMH Cup is DONE. I'd like as many fixtures as possible but I think 44 is excessive, I doubt we've got that many weeks available but I'll check today when I've finished work and see whats workable.

    The season will start on the weekend of the 4th August (PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT THE PREMIER LEAGUE DOESN'T START UNTIL THE TENTH BUT THIS IS THE ONLY LEAGUE THAT STARTS THAT LATE) so we need to have the draft done by the 2nd really. That means we can't push it back too much. Lets say a 9am start on Saturday 28th which leaves us almost a week to get it done. I can't see us getting 2 more people but I'm willing to move the draft to a later date to try.

    Understood mate, I am now actually committed to playing if you want to enlist my help, UK Blue is here, sof is here, The Rosk isn't even probably maybe not playing but knows what will help the game, just give us a shout, well if you don't you know we will shout our opinions across with accompanying abuse anyway so there's that too

    Yeah you are probably right in that 44 is pushing it, I was thinking with FA Cup and double weeks at Xmas and Easter and shit it might work but I didn't think it through very much tbh

    Can't wait to take Chris Scott's money AGAIN both in this and the Rajah Cash league. The lad is like a bloody ATM

    Well if there are any big decisions to be made the 4 of us can try and make them as level headedly as possible and do the best for the game. I think for now we're sorted though. I've updated the new thread to reflect the changes and @Reech is starting to work on the spreadsheet because he's a sexy helpful motherfucker.

    Whilst I'm on a brilliant run of success of getting my own way I'll try and think of another way I can stop UK Blue getting Harry Kane, I've been disappointingly unsuccessful so far

    The SPL has 12 teams and plays 38 games by playing three times (33) then splitting the league in half and playing once (5). We don't have to split the league, just the fixtures. 38 games

    Not sure if I would go for Kane seeing as EVERYONE is available.

    To be honest we might as well randomise the draft order at this stage.

    I think sof will probably agree that the RFA Cup extra place thing should probably not be a thing for this year now we're in RESET MODE

    Why is he not doing a full reset? I could come back and start v early in the draft but even I would be pushing for a hard reset. Interesting.

    £20 entry. Winner gets £150, second gets £75, rest goes to Rajah Charity depending on how many sign up by Wednesday.

    I literally would be second in the draft with no keepers after I binned mine off last year because I couldn't be arsed with the bollocks rules, mindless Euro player bullshit and the insane amount of pathetic cuntery going on. So now I would be in there with arguably the best position in the league because there's obviously absolutely zero chance that UK Blue can fluke it again.

    Total reset it is. I'll do a random draw on video once we've got confirmed numbers.

    Rosk, will you play with a total reset and no euro players? If so then MMH would have to play too to balance out the numbers!

    I'm happy to wire some cash as well if we want a SPICY cash prize but don't think it should be mandatory for league entry just a secondary pot for anyone who wants in and only those who put in before gameweek 1 or 2 are eligible type thing

    Since when mate? First I've heard.

    Maybe next time you throw my name around, you actually fucking check? I've got a wife, a kid, a job and organic quinoa to eat mate.

    So my pitch would be:

    - Seven Man squads (because we never should have changed that).

    - Play every week for 37 weeks no matter how many fixtures are played.

    - After second round of fixtures, split the league up into the top half and bottom half and the final seven games are played against the teams in those bands (assuming 16 players) - basically the SPL system.

    - I'm not sure why we wouldn't allow keepers and use the draft order from the end of the season - people may well have kept players on their squads because they were potential keepers and whoever did well last year deserves to be rewarded just like every other year they would have been.

    - I've no strong opinion on Euro players but it might be nice to see what the league looks like without them.

    If you need a player this reset has peaked my interest again. I'm fine enough taking over a team when someone drops out as well if 12 ends up being the number.

    The reset has come as a result of my domination last season. People want the title race to be competitive - it may not be if I am afforded the same perks enjoyed/earned by previous champions.

    I'm happy to take the compliment and roll with whatever is decided, but let's be honest about the reasons for it.

    And how does a reset make it more attractive to them?

    Maybe those lot shouldn't have fucking sucked last year?

    I just feel like you're punishing the half a dozen people who actually continued to post teams every week last year and who made transfer decisions with keepers in mind.

    But then Torn and MMH decide at the last second they will bother this season and suddenly it's a reset.

    Rosk you knew you weren't playing this year so rightly made trades all about winning there and then, which was obviously the right thing to do, but you see how and why that could be seen as unfair when you then say at the last second that you'll come back if there's a reset.

    I can see that, but I want a reset because there are so many ballaches carrying on as we were. MMH became a bit of a dull bastard as a manager of the game and he hated it.

    But I’m not the only one saying it, most others are too who would have kept keepers. Remember I am losing the second draft pick potentially by saying a reset too and also most likely the top Euro player with the draft structure.

    The only thing that’s exciting me about returning is that it might go back to the RFF of old.

    From my side of things, and the reason I've tried to do what the consensus says, is to keep the game going this season. I think this place would be a lot worse of for not having this game and no one else really seemed keen to pick up the ball and run with it or willing to play without considerable changes.

    Personally if someone wants to 'run' things they certainly can. Equally I'm happy to do it but it's fucking hard when any decision I make means someone is annoyed. I asked gor help, got no offer but then got moaned at when I decided things. Would anyone like to run the game this season? If not then let's just bloody play and I'll do the best I can.

    third draft pick...

    Beefy stop fucking moaning and get on with it one way or another. As I said above sod peoples feelings about things being unfair etc. It's dying on its arse like a lot of things around here so just keeping going was not the best option seeing as nobody seemed to want to sign up.

    Oh you're playing now are you you fucking whinging little bitch pussy MMH?

    Sorry keyboard got away from me a little bit there.

    I truly believe in BBF. He watches videos of football and gets paid for it. MMH still goes off the Liverpool Echo for his gossip and will likely pick Andy Cook for his first draft pick anyway, and still concede only three goals all season.

    I personally don't think we should let tons and tons of people come in right near the draft as one of the absolute biggest issues IMO was watching multiple teams with only two players playing each week. It literally drove the soul out of the game.

    Personally if someone wants to 'run' things they certainly can. Equally I'm happy to do it but it's fucking hard when any decision I make means someone is annoyed. I asked gor help, got no offer but then got moaned at when I decided things. Would anyone like to run the game this season? If not then let's just bloody play and I'll do the best I can.
    I BELIEVE IN YOU BBF

    Fuck no, for all the reasons you are seeing!

    Honestly another "incident" would drive me over the edge. I just want to play and maybe cheat the system so that someone else can deal with the shit. For this season at least. Honestly over than RFF (and only because I feel obliged to at least play) I wouldn't be back.

    Sorry keyboard got away from me a little bit there.

    I believe in BBF. I don't think we should let tons of people come in as one of the biggest issues for me was watching teams with two players playing each week. It literally drove the soul out of the game.
    I never said I wasn't playing...

    BBF will deal with incidents swiftly and fairly. The big lad is up for this. I believe in him.

    IMO there should be a definitive deadline for everyone who can commit to playing a squad every week, then BBF can get on with doing some bollocks about a pretend random draft order.

    I'm still debating in my head whether to return but as a seasoned glorious player of this game it is worth sorting fully because people found the same issues again and again.

    I think stuff like the MMH cup, Europe, Euro players, extra squad players etc made it a bit too cumbersome.

    Back to basics, straight up league and cup, jumpers for goalposts etc.

    Let's not pretend we're talking about some radical shakeup of the game. We're talking about the draft order and at most one player out of seven being kept from last year. Those are tiny issues and nothing that is going to make people stick with the game instead of dropping out after a few weeks.

    I don't see any argument for resetting that makes any sense.

    Yeah this should be good. Genuine credit to BBF here tbh. I really did think this game was dead and he's just powered through the abuse from myself and all sides and look at that sign up list suddenly.

    Imagine if BBF somehow worked his way into being a mod here the place would be thriving
