Don't like soccer? DOESN'T MATTER, THIS IS STILL FUN. Just play along and see what happens, it's something for the whole forum.

Basically, Football Manager has an editor. You can make people up and put them in the game. Then you can simulate and see what happens over the next however many years.

That's where you guys come in. I'm going to add everybody in, and then we can all see how amazing we'd be as professional footballers, or if we just end up kicking it in the Singapore pro league.

So, let's get started.

This is a list of stats. The max is 20 (world class). Messi is world class, and that's why he's joining Reading.

We're going to take an asset/flaw idea on this. We'll take say, 5 or so stats both ways in which you think you'd be good at/bad at, and voila!

CODE

Name (First/Last, or nickname): Date of Birth: City of Birth: Nation: Height: Weight: Position: Dominant foot: Weak foot ability: 5 'Assets': 5 'Flaws': Personality: Extra:

Notes:
You can have more than one nation, and yes, you can pick a 'declared nation'.

The first 2-3 assets/flaws will be the major ones. Alternatively, give a description of how you want to be, ie. 'pacey winger with skills, not the best defender'.

Scary picture of all the positions.
You can have more than one position if it makes sense, but pick the main position first. You can be a GK, just say and I'll get the stats for that up.

Personality is what it says on the tin - are you ambitious? A good sport? Able to deal with pressure? Loyal? A firestarter?

Extra is for things like say, your favourite clubs or player, or anything else that is relevant. If you want to flesh out the physical stats , or other things here instead, go for it. Languages? Useful. If you play, tell me a bit about how you play, or at least, how you'd like to play (cutting in for LONGSHOTS).

Here's an example:

Name (First/Last, or nickname): bblues - your username is fine for this.
Date of Birth: 30/01/1992
City of Birth: Guelph
Nation: Canada/England
Height: 1.77m (use whatever system you want)
Weight: 64kgs (again, whatever system you want)
Position: CM/CDM/CAM
Dominant foot: Right
Weak foot ability: Not great (A solid 7/20)
5 'Assets': Work Rate, Stamina, Tackling, Agility, Determination.
5 'Flaws': Long Throws, Positioning, Concentration, Teamwork, Free Kicks
Personality: Unambitious, quiet, dedicated.
Extra: READING FC bitches, Sunderland and Malaga as secondaries, I hate Fergie. Decent at Spanish, rusty French.



I know it looks a bit daunting, but ask if you have any questions or suggestions.

I hope to see you on the virtual field!

Name (First/Last, or nickname): Fire Blazer
Date of Birth: 07/10/94
City of Birth: Cleveland
Nation: U.S.A.
Height: 5"8 actual, 6"0 on bullshit scale everyone uses
Weight: ~157 lbs
Position: Midfielder
Dominant foot: Right
Weak foot ability: Decent (I tend to train both parts of my body when I can)
5 'Assets': Acceleration, Stamina, Determination, Anticipation, Bravery
5 'Flaws': Strength, Field Awareness (what'd be the best "replacement" for this?), Teamwork, Decisions, Long Shots
Personality: Friendly, Unambitious, prefers to follow but is willing to take charge when others can't or suck, very easily injured/weak body in general leads to sort of reserved mindset
Extra: Always flexible... throw in Turkish for extra language/Turkey for background I guess


Name (First/Last, or nickname): Bobryk
Date of Birth: 14/1/1991 (January 14th, 1991- tried to put it in your standard across the pond)
City of Birth: Boston
Nation: U.S (You can put Greece if you want diversity since I'm 100% Greek but was not born there)
Height: 6'0 exactly
Weight: 175 lb
Position: CB/CM
Dominant foot: Right
Weak foot ability: Not good at all, really. Maybe a solid 3/10
5 'Assets': Speed/sprinting, long kicks, strength, tackling, scoring Bobryk always scores
5 'Flaws': accuracy, free kicks, ball handling (sadly), headers (I always hurt my head doing these things), stamina
Personality: Energetic, loud, fun. Will give pep talks for no reason
Extra: Not really sure what to put here tbh

Name (First/Last, or nickname): kirant. Really, just pick whatever the hell you want.
Date of Birth: 15/11/91
City of Birth: Weyburn (If not possible, pick Regina or something)
Nation: Canada
Height: 167 cm
Weight: 72 kg
Position: Defensive Midfield/Defensive Centre/Pick a third if you want
Dominant foot: Right
Weak foot ability: Fairly good for defence, useless offensively. Stupid arbitrary ambidexterity.
5 'Assets': Composure, Decisions, Positioning, Anticipation, Off the Ball
5 'Flaws': Balance, Influence, Creativity, Technique, Long Throws
Personality: Calm, perfectionist, technician (on the technician/performer scale http://tvtropes.org/...VersusPerformer ). Is perfectly fine accepting a blank statistic sheet if the team result is there. Owns ice water for blood; isn't rattled in the least by most things (which, if you're posting results, should come with great humorous results when compared to Bobryk's posted character above). Highly competitive; the more important the game is, the better the resulting plays are. Very dedicated to a team that owns his rights...would be fine signing for less than market value if it saves the team money.
Extra: Depends what extra languages are possible. I've learned English, French, Latin, Japanese, and Chinese at different points of life. Check off English as primary and possibly broken knowledge of the rest? No favourite club. If the above isn't a sign, the play is at a more "cerebral" level - know where to go, how to act, and what to do. Almost viewing the game as a chess match, if the motif works. On the same level, it makes sense that movements likely end up more simplistic with no sense of flash or drama. "Consummate professional" seems like an appropriate term there.

Name (First/Last, or nickname): Fish
Date of Birth: 02/24/1995
City of Birth: Boston is close enough, it was somewhere in Massachusetts probably
Nation: USA
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 180 lb
Position: Striker? Someone who knows anything about soccer should recommend me one
Dominant foot: Right
Weak foot ability: 4/10 sounds good, if we call my right 10/10
5 'Assets': tackling, aggression, long throws, agility, flair
5 'Flaws': pace, free kick taking, dribbling, technique, decisions
Personality: "wait what is this who is kicking a round ball at me I thought I signed up for actual football"
Dedicated to the sport, but somewhat clueless.
Extra: The chosen QB of legend or something. Joined wrong sport by accident, found it fun, and stayed. Probably had anime hair but was told at knife-point by rest of team to get it cut.

Blazer: Cool, it's pretty good.

Field Awareness (what'd be the best "replacement" for this?)

It'd probably be a spread of off the ball, positioning and concentration stats. No, I won't screw you over, don't worry

QUOTE

Midfielder

Should've gone into this a little more.

Scary picture of all the positions.

Are you in the middle, or on the wings?

Going on what you've got for stats, I'd say the wings.

EDIT: Man, I should've reloaded before I posted.

Gonna chuck CDM in there as well.

It's all good otherwise!

I'm a goalie in most of the sports I play...how could you tell?

[Fire Blazer]

Haha I trust you bblues, do whatcha gotta. Not like I know much about soccer anyhow.

[bblues]

@Kirant
Yeah, I'll try my best to get the numbers in the editor to match up to that description. You might well end up with the longest career.

@Blazer
Well, it's just a suggestion. Low teamwork and quick off the mark? It got Nani a job at United haha.
-

Just doing a few routine checks/first window while I'm waiting for any further interest, I'll get the actual thing started in the coming week.

Positive signs:
Kirant is a 'model professional'
Bobryk is an 'Explosive centre-back', the first time I have ever seen said description. If he can get a David Luiz haircut, I'll be delighted.

I have to admit, that's the best description ever.

[bblues]

Isn't it just?


Small post just to say I'll start this all up on Wednesday, 12th of February. So if you want in, try to get something posted to me by 12pm GMT on that day.

If you feel like you need an extension or something, do say.

Are you putting us all on the same team to see how we'd do?

[bblues]

Striker is a position

I haven't seen a good defensive forward on FM yet.

The plan is to have everyone start unattached, and see what happens. It could happen later on, never doubt the powers of Real Madrid.

Early checking sims have had Blazer in Turkey, or waiting for permits to go to Russia.

[Bobryk]

...Explosive centre back? I think I just found my new pick-up line

I love it. You can do whatever you want/need with mine-- I haven't played soccer in years so my memory and position knowledge is a bit foggy.

....Can I just say that explosive centre back is the best description ever? And I'm so glad I have it?
