The setup

This blog will tell the story as it unfolds during a long multiplayer Football Manager 2010 game.

The setup is ambutious, 4 to 7 players will each pick up a team in the Scottish Third Division, where 10 teams play. The idea is to have fun together and enjoy discovering what FM2010 can do in a long, detailed game with lots of human players.

After the inital setting up these were the chosen teams:

- Gameon took East Stirlingshire, a good solid top of the table team with reasonable resources.

- Labchimp took Forfar, again a top 5 team.

- Daniel took Montrose, a team with good past results but in a clear decadence.

- Tokey took Berwick, a little worse team, should struggle to get in the top 4.

- Dimmiy took Stanraer, similar to Berwick.

- Johnny Spent took Livinstone, the top of the league and way better funded team.

- Me (Joe Duck) I had the huge privilege of being given the reigns of the most awesome team of all, Queen's Park, the oldest team in Scotland and based on the by far best stadium of the lot. I can sit 55000 people in my stadium, and that allows me to receive plenty of top teams for profitable friendlies. Also, my training facilities are better than the rest. It looks good...

For comparison, I'll also post one of my rival's stadium photo. It's not the worse in the league, by a long shot...

However, there's a catch. Many catches, in fact, that I will reveal as the blog goes along.

My personal objective is a top 4 finish and it should be doable if all goes according to plan. The rest have other objectives, but they are not telling...
