Brendan Rodgers once described Joe Allen's footballing ability as "frightening".
How would you describe your favourite regen's ability?

by the way, once everyone is signed up the draft will be tomorrow and if you don't make if you get an auto drafted team of highly picked players so you still have a fair chance
>>68174347
This.
We'll have the draft tomorrow night at either 10 pm or 11 pm brit time. I guess you guys know how a draft works: Each of us gets to pick a player, one after another, until we all have a full squad. If you're there when the draft happens, you'll be able to choose the player you pick - if you don't then you'll just get the next player in line that is assigned to you (and it is set up in a way that you always get the most highly regarded player that is still undrafted). So really, you dont have to be there to have a competitive team, but of course everyone disagrees with the ranking of the players so it might happen that you'd prefer players that are not as high on the list.

just woke up from my siesta lads
>>68176326
i do for a while, sometimes keep them if i have the space and an adequate coach who can cover up their shortcomings.
>>68176284
Have the best coaches and facilities
If you loan them out, make sure it'll be to teams where they'll play, but it won't be too low a level and give them 3 months tops so you can see how they're doing. If they're away for a season not playing, or playing shit, you've just ruined a prospect
I had a kid in my yoof team I bought from Brazil as he looked promising but looked like he would take a while to develop, so I kind of just ignored. Then one day when I was renewing contracts I looked at him and he'd turned into a GOAT completed under the radar.
tl;dr: get the best coaches and the game will do the rest

I'll hire them as a coach or scout at most. I like to rotate assistant managers so I never really keep a single one for more than 3 years

Just wanted to remind you guys that we will hold the draft tomorrow between 10 pm and 11 pm bong time.
If you can't make it, you can set up a auto pick order (which takes an autistic amount of work, so I'd just only make some minor changes to the usual auto pick list if I were you).
I'll remind you in the thread before actually holding the draft tomorrow.

Having one of those seasons where we're winning the league at a canter but my team isn't performing particularly well and it isn't satisfying in the slightest.

>>68188681

>>68188709
so you could just say ic is balkan?
>>68188650
>>68188709
you could also just say Yugoslavian, though it also appears in Slovakia for some reason.
Main concentration is Yugoslavian though.
>>68188761
balkan includes Greece, Albania and Bulgaria.
Which are quite different from EX-Yu (former Yugoslavia)
>>68188761
albania, bulgaria, macedonia, greece etc dont follow it so thats somewhat a sweeping statement
>>68188907
you mean slovenia who are yugo. it isn't slovakia. but yes, yugoslavic countries use ic names, ek and ec are more czech.
>>68189021
no I mean ic appears in Slovakia on occasion, despite not being related to Yugoslavs. Though its not nearly as common.
I only know that because I have an ic surname that appears yugoslavian but ancestry traces back to a village in Northern Slovakia near Poland.

Don't do this. Small clubs invest terribly. If they get a lot of money they will only buy players who are 3-4.5* CA for the team on horribly inflated wages for the division and go bankrupt again. You'd need to give them consistent care packages every year and hope they promote. Ask the bard for a feeder club and pick Bolton and send as many people as you can there of quality. Give them small financial boosts from time to time.
