How about creating two clubs in the PL and putting all of us in those? Create a rivalry between the two clubs and post updates on the clubs rather than individual progress.

Within a few seasons most of the players will be at different clubs so though it might work for a season or two it ends up being more work as Burrow would then have to post updates on those two clubs as well as the individuals who aren't there anymore.

I'll do @Burrow a favour and say for now sign ups are closed. When he comes on he can say whether he's accepting more or culling some.
I'd say 16 players is a good number.

Can't you stop that with favoured club, disliked club, personal plans, loyalty 20 etc?

Surely it isn't worse than tinkering with the budget in the editor and give them insane long-term contracts that can't be matched elsewhere?

Would be a good idea for a future one.

I'll make a fullback if you want to do the teams thing, no problem. Didn't realize there were 23 signups before me so i'm cool as a cucumber being chopped and throw into the salad.

Are you planning on doing the post-playing career thing with this one as well or is that asking a bit too much? I wasn't in your original one and it looked great.

Yeah, if the players end up going into management I'll keep going until noone bothers to reply.
