Who was the one that ran it with San Marino and another small nation, everyone assigned to those nations. That was a great experiment.

To expand on the one pnut is referencing, what about say two avid fm'ers actual play a network game with two lowly clubs or in a low tier nation

Have X people create youth players (maybe lay off the ready made stars that are in most experiments) and do a draft to select 6/8 each

If You've two playing and competing it's at least more likely to keep going, there's plenty of good career stories on various FM boards and they're usually a good read

Also having two people to provide the updates lessens the load

Probably be a bit more interesting for others to read too

Yeah that'd be great, but the time needed would be much longer. Usually they sim through it on holiday, so having to play all the game would take a lot longer.

Yeah you'd need two people who really play FM for sure, but you could have a proper write up every couple of sessions or something maybe

More of a quality over quantity kind of thing

Could also use the touch/classic (or whatever it's called these days) version which would speed it up a bit
