MINE! Sorry, I never got the alert that I'd been tagged in this. Thanks Zikry for alerting me

What are you guys' thoughts on opening up the star threshold to 4.5 at least?

Historically, leagues have implemented star threshold's to balance the game out a bit and keep scores down. Manual controls, however do this for us however. I think this will also draw more interest as more guys will be able to play with teams/players they have heard of. Just my 2 cents.

I like the idea of 4.5 star teams, but there are a much smaller number of 4.5 teams than 4 star teams. 4 star is much better for balance and they rarely have the ultra superstar players. I say keep the 4 star teams for the league.

Maybe we could do a 4.5 or 5 star team tournament in the future.

I agree - there would likely be an 8-way fight for Liverpool. 4* is a good way to find diamonds in the rough, teams on which to build and teams that play to a certain style.

I hear ya. Although with only 8-10 members, I dont see how number of teams would be an issue.

I just think sometimes its hard to keep interest for even the most hardcore fan, when you are playing with Stoke City week in and week out. Playing with better teams also allows for more creativity on the pitch as far as skill moves and such. Just curious, have you guys played on manual in the past or was this a semi-league?

We've always played on semi. While manual may be more "pure", it also alienates those that are new to the game. We feel the latter is more important than the former, so we've stayed at semi controls

And will return to semi controls if at all possible for FIFA 15 when the league makes the transition, en masse, to the next gen.

There's no way to use true semi-assisted controls in online friendlies, which is the only reason why we're using manual.

Sign up is now closed.

Draft order was done, as the video above shows, by putting y'all into a random list generator and pressing "Go!" I will draft last. For those that don't want to watch the video, the draft order is located in the post below.

The draft will officially start Monday, January 6 at 9:00AM ET, although HAL9100 is on the clock now and can make his selection at any time. Beginning Monday at 9:00AM, each player will have 24 hours to draft. Drafting is done by posting in this thread. The clock will start when the player before has selected; if Zikry makes his selection Tuesday, January 7 at 11:30AM, bandit3324 will have until Wednesday, January 8 at 11:30AM to make his selection. Should a player fail to make his pick within the allotted time, they will be skipped and can make a selection at any time.

For those who will be unavailable and/or would like to move the draft more quickly, you may PM me a list of selections and I will pick for you.

The season will begin Monday, January 13 provided all selections have been made.

Happy drafting.
