1.0 The Draft

It's time to whip a batch of lunatics and trolls into a fit fighting force. Taking volunteers now for a season that is sure to be full of hilarity, ejections and injuries.



We're going to be playing a 3-6-1 possession based aggressive tactic.

As such, I'm looking for...

POSITIONS

Starting Keeper
Starting Striker
Starting Winger Left
Starting Attacking Midfielder
Starting Winger Right

Starting Defensive Midfielder

I figure I'll be extremely lucky to get 20 volunteers anyway.

So, onto character creation.

Football Manager rolls it stats from 1 (abysmal) to 20 (astounding). However, I think it will work better if I allocate the majority of the stats stats, to be appropriate for the positions.
However, some stats are based around a players temperament, and have little to do with football itself. These I'll let you decide.

What I need any prospective volunteers to fill out is:

PREFERRED MOVES LIST

We will start playing in the German Third League as soon as I have volunteers, and hopefully we'll eventually work our way up.
They have very simple request for legal registrations (Teamsize 15<x<99) which makes it easy for you to pick whatever you'd like.

Spoiler

Now, as you have volunteered in other FM LPs, I'm going to page
Kashmir Slippers Ulminati Azira a bear named spigot tindrli
Horus Jagged Appliance yeye treave sea stabby raw
Menckenstein Jvegi Jim the Dinosaur shiteatingnippledick Irenaeus

Hopefully at least some of you are interested.

At least your Danish strikers seems to be sporting.

 

[Ulminati]

I was going to go 20 dirtiness, but i didn't want to be mistaken for Robben :3

Also, it's more fun to have high dirtiness on defense and perform illegal tackles than being dirty on offense and diving like an italian.

Also, here's the last player we're missing:

[disk failure]

We sure are a bunch of healthy players with some questionable moral outlooks.

Codexia squad mugshots from the Panini sticker album:

While the Codexians may not be the most professional team in the world, they are the most pleasant one to hang around with. They may argue with the refs here and there, but you won't hear any swearing or foul language uttered from these boys. These are always legitimate complaints, delivered with arguments in a civilized manner. On top of their self-restraint at all times, these are some of the greatest temperaments that ever walked the football pitch.

1.2 Introductions

Coach KemBlain here to help guide the newly formed FC Codexia to the first league and beyond.

Given that we're a bunch of overvalued upstarts, we're worth the most in the league, but are almost completely broke and aren't predicted to finish very well. It's my job to help guide you to success.

Not too shabby. 180k for a third league team is nice.

Two quick conversations later...

Spoiler

And it's on to real decision making time.

I honestly think we have a shot of getting promoted into the second league this season, so I adjust our season expectations accordingly.

Set up the lineup and the primary tactic (Look at all of those subs we have!).

Adjusted your training schedules...

And that about ended the day.

The press conference the next day went well, if quiet. Certainly we will soon make a splash in the Football World.
