GFRay's FIFA World Cup 2018 Game

[GFRay]

Hi guys!

Here I am again with another fun idea/format that will involve the coming World Cup! As the Saturn v5 patch has all the correct World Cup groups and fixtures perhaps it could be fun to simulate our own World Cup!

The idea is simple. We can have 16 contestants who will manage 16 of the nations in the World Cup (sadly enough you can only add 16 managers in game. ) You can apply in this thread and you'll be given a nation by random choice (I can't be bribed to give you a top nation ). Oh and no swapping of teams after the draw allowed.

I will make the squad selections for you and those will be the same as the current squad selections IRL. You will need to have access to the Saturn v5 patch to check the save games that I will upload.

You will then need to submit a tactic and a lineup for the first group match to me by PM (to keep the other managers in the dark). Your tactic has to be non wibwob and needs at least 3 at the back and wide players somewhere (so no cheats).

The first group matches IRL will be from 14th June until 19th June so your stuff will need to be submitted before the 19th. I will run the first group matches in game on the 19th of June and post up the results and the save game in here.

Then you'll need to submit for the second group matches with a deadline of 24th of June. Same again with the third group matches with a deadline of 28th of June.

We'll then proceed with round of 16 (3th July), quarterfinals (7th July), semi-finals (11th) and final (15th July) in the same way until we have our own World Champion.


How does this sound? If you're interested post it down below. It will be a first come, first serve principal and we only have 16 slots available!

The 16 nations that will be divided are:

-Russia
-Uruguay
-Spain
-Portugal
-France
-Denmark
-Argentina
-Croatia
-Brazil
-Switzerland
-Germany
-Mexico
-Belgium

[GFRay]

MIKEBARCELONA will probably be up for it.

Well if he confirms in this thread I will add him. I'm not adding people on a 'probably'.

Was just a heads up mate

[GFRay]

I've set the deadline to join for coming Thursday when the World Cup starts.

@JayFlo: could you tell MIKEBARCELONA he's got two more days to join in?

I'll join in myself if there are any spots left Thursday, but for now I'll stick to running and let others participate first.

Thursday I'll post the draw of who gets which team and a save game for you guys to base your squad selection on.
