Which is why I just used my starting point as teams I want to keep players from, and then used a site to show predicted lineups, and then if both matched, I bought my squad. Really helped with looking at the Latin teams, as I hardly know players from there and they seem pretty cheap so it's why I sprinkled mine with them.

I also, like Trofo, feel like the big European clubs will do their best, but players will be having end-of-season fatigue and be up against teams prepared to defend and tussle. It's not going to play into their style, I feel.

Real is tempting but I remember the early season lack of chemistry and they're going to dump TAA into the works --  not sure this is going to work out in their favour.


I'll ask you when you've paid your fee to this pool Why not make some money of it anyway? I think it's a nonsense competition -- FIFA has halved ticket prices now they see little interest from fans. But the money's too good for many clubs to ignore. Liverpool would go all out if they were in. Florian's bills need paying haha.
