Thinking of doing a draft. First pick is the manager you want to start off this beginning for your club, second pick to be one player to join the project.
I would exclude all the top-top names of managers and players to keep it a bit sensible. Thoughts?

Of course we have high fan affluence. Everybody loves Game Pass.
Top youth coaching will no doubt end with Starfield becoming the Balon D'or

Sounds good. I've never played FM so will most likely end up with worst option for both.
Whoop-de-doo. Training facilities better than United women's.
Sounds good. Are they real managers/players?
Yep!
Liked the idea of the boosts - but those are massively different levels. Stadium size being the biggest.
What you think would be fairer?
Region populations maybe? Maybe we could draft a boost from a set list, during the player/manager draft.
DRAFT - Pick a manager first (think of the style of play you want, what players they might go for, etc..) and then second pick is a player. One pick per turn, two turns.

Ok will change the stadium ones to have an attractive region with a bigger population.
I also think everyone would trade mine for 20/20 training facilities or 20/20 youth facilities, as you can get recruitment way easier and cheaper than those, but I accept I may have just picked the shortest straw.
Also, since our island is an own country presumably, what did you put the country settings to?
Bala Rios will split away from Fatherlandia after no response from RT.
I edited Croatia. I've made it popular though.
So the same youth settings, economy ratings, population etc. as Croatia?
@Solius is there a place I can find the CA for players?
Changed.
Possibly if you search Google but you can suggest a player to me and I'll tell you if he's over. For an example, Camavinga is 136.
Yeesh. I'll look on Google then, but be prepared for my second pick in the draft to take 10 posts.
Do the manager/player we pick have special contracts so it's harder for them to get poached immediately?
I'll give them a 3 year deal but can't promise no poaching.
I've just woken up solius, sorry. I'll be happy with Bala Rios as the name of the district within Fatherland region.
Let me ok it with the other 2.
All good, you have your own region.
Forget my previous offer of the district naming rights, this is much more amicable and correct.Bala Rios will split away from Fatherlandia after no response from RT.
Shall I make my manager pick now? @Solius
This is the FM-21, right? Looking for a database.
And an additional question — do we pay for the players from our transfer budget? Or is it something reserved for an AI for future transfer windows?
Please. You may pm me a player if you want in case you're not online when it comes back around to you.
No these are freebies.
Ah balls.
feck it - Mourinho. I know who I should go for from those available but I'll just go for the toxic one instead.

@oneniltothearsenal Is Vineland a Pynchon nod?
@Green_Red your turn
Mourinho's stats are probably better in the database anyways.
Much less likely to stick around though.
Both managers aren't at their clubs from the FM database anymore, so I'd say that's a draw. Our clubs have 6500 reputation, 9000 would be elite.
