I think it's a great idea

[Challenges / Sign-Ups / Holiday Games ideas thread.]

I like that sort of thing

Can you create a team where all the players have no 'natural' position? That would be interesting.

[Challenges / Sign-Ups / Holiday Games ideas thread.]

Thinking about it, there is a ton of potential for that idea.

Would be a great addition to the forum.

[Challenges / Sign-Ups / Holiday Games ideas thread.]

James.

Was brilliant fun when Bambi () ran it.

[Challenges / Sign-Ups / Holiday Games ideas thread.]

Sounds like a good idea. Will be interesting to see what happens to the teams in top/bottom divisions.

[Challenges / Sign-Ups / Holiday Games ideas thread.]

The problem is, most people take part in sign-ups to see their player succeed, and do well.

For a lot of people, all the fun is in how many goals they score in a season, how well the team does, etc. If you remove this element, then people would be less inclined to sign up.

[Challenges / Sign-Ups / Holiday Games ideas thread.]

Pretty high. You have to get the right balance of a team that has a good enough reputation to have good youth players, but a team not predicted to do too well in competitions.

A lot is based on tactics as well to cope with such a young side.

[Challenges / Sign-Ups / Holiday Games ideas thread.]

Just hoping for some feedback on my idea.

[Challenges / Sign-Ups / Holiday Games ideas thread.]

Shameless bump.

[Challenges / Sign-Ups / Holiday Games ideas thread.]

Something like this may exist... But I can't recall seeing it.

U21 International Challenge

Basically, you take control of any international nation you want, and, using players that are 21 or under when you take over, win as many competitions as you can. Points will be on offer for certain competition wins.

That's a really rough idea of what I am thinking of, but I think you can get the jist of it.

Any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Leeds United Challenge

Thought this would be interesting because of the points deduction.

There would be a points system involved, with points awarded for final league position, goals scored, rounds reached in each cup, and anything else I may have missed. It's a vague idea in this stage, but I hope to make this a successful one-season challenge.

God I'm not the only one, but my idea is similar to this (see 2 season challenge thread)

Come on people sign up and see who can manage the same team the best </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I posted this on the 3rd of November. 8 days before you signed up to the forums. How is my idea similar to yours? If anything your idea is similar to mine.

In all niceness ofc

Hello everyone,

On FMDiscussion I am currently running a sign-up/user action game. It is basically where I will manage a team of the sign-ups choice and they will make the crucial decisions. Players suggest to buy, what the expectations should be, what to offer youth players and if I should scrap the reserves. It would be like the MyFootballClub.com thing going on but based in FM. The thing is over there it is a small community so now many people want to do it. I am currently using the PM system which obviously can't be used on here. So any ideas/suggestion/helpers would be appreciated.

Also I am contemplating whether or not I should upload the save game every week. People will go through the database looking for players and the such or improving the tactics and training, like coaches and scouts. I feel this isn't like a sign-up or a challenge or a holiday game but a good addition to this forum.

So once again any advice, suggestion and helpers would be appreciated.

I quite like the idea of having voting for players to sign/the starting XI, etc.

Would be interesting if someone wanted to run it.

[Challenges / Sign-Ups / Holiday Games ideas thread.]

Double post? :/

Didn't think you could do that any more.

[Challenges / Sign-Ups / Holiday Games ideas thread.]

Got this idea just now while looking to join a challenge.

How about a thread like "What challenge should I join?".

This would be for people who want to start a challenge, but don't know which one to choose (of course). In here people can say something like:

I want to manage LLM, but not in England

or something; and other users can then post ideas to what challenge would be best for them.

What do you think?

[Challenges / Sign-Ups / Holiday Games ideas thread.]

Had a good idea. (Even if I do say so myself )

[Challenges / Sign-Ups / Holiday Games ideas thread.]

That's a shame. Would have been a real difficult challenge.

Cultural Durango

Are they playable in FM08?

[Challenges / Sign-Ups / Holiday Games ideas thread.]

Team of 11, with a captain that gets double points, imo.

I'm here to help, mate, don't hesitate to ask.

[Challenges / Sign-Ups / Holiday Games ideas thread.]

An Off-topic forum in here would mean less off-topic banter in sign-up/challenge threads. Not me to judge whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. Might be worth starting one up for a trial of say, a month, and see how it affects the forum.

Also, I think the Records thread should be "mirrored" over here, such as Kipfizh's thread, so it is in GQ and this forum. (As James said)

Yeah, don't know how much interest there would be in a Goalkeeper sign-up tbf.

Although, if you want, I think this forum is crying out for another manager sign-up. Hasn't been one for ages.

I was thinking about starting one but then thought about Walcott's Wonderkids one and I don't think I could do one anywhere near that standard </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Don't be disheartened by that. If you provide regular updates, then it is just what this forum needs, lots of good sign-ups

It should be relatively easy to do as well, with less work than other types of sign-up.

Definitely.

What about limits on signing players, like my challenge has? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I don't think that should matter, as you've said before the more rules the more people might be put off. The only two I think are necessary are that you start unemployed with an automatic reputation. Other than that I think it should be completely open. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

But obviously only use official updates and no use of third party editors or use of the official editor. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

That goes without saying.

Don't think it needs any limits tbf.

[Challenges / Sign-Ups / Holiday Games ideas thread.]

Perhaps we could just have one completely open free for all career thread with no rules, where people can discuss their careers?

That's a good idea. I can make up a thread now if you'd like?
