Thanks for the full house for Match 1! I appreciate everyone's help getting preseason finished and the season started.

Schedules for the rest of the group stage have been added, and I have also re-created the league schedules to fix a bug where INT were showing up with the wrong team logo and name on the scoreboards. Match 2 should be the last time we see that bug.

Auctions have also been populated. Taking into account your feedback, all Auctions are now spaced apart by 2 weeks and we will have one fewer auction than last season. I will also run player cash-ins before each of the four auctions, as well as calling for any downgrades of MPPs needed.

We are set to go with season kickoff on Sunday evening. I'll be adding the last few missing fixtures and new youth players around then, as well. First youth match will be matchday 7, so I will announce once all sides are updated (hopefully that's this weekend)

I have allowed youth sides that had leftover CP from the previous season to keep up to 5 each of the past few seasons. So, a youth side could start with up to 10 (5 new + 5 rollover). But, none should be purchased.

I have done this as I see little advantage in not using your CP one season and saving for the next. It allows for new managers to start off with a decent catch-up option should they be taking over a neglected club. However, I am happy to consider a different option for next season if we would like to make proposals.

Nope.

From Andy's post below:

 

Reminders:

-Your youth squad cannot buy additional CP or TP

-Your youth squads do not all yet have the new players added. Know that they will be added, but since they cannot be your captain anyway, they do not matter for your preseason orders.

Have i missed this, can the junior sides gain more than the standard 5 free CP's and purchase these in Preseason? If so is there a maximum that the junior team can have ?

Love it Willy! Totally a fan of the change.

Just like in RL we have the task now to make Inter Miami rise from the bottom!

And a RL note: I went to Foxboro to see New England Revolution play Inter Miami a couple of years ago, there was no large croud and tickets were very cheap!

I went to see them last week and the tickets were outrageously expensive and the croud was huge!!

But it was worth it!  Messi was great and Suarez came in and scored a beauty!  :)

So, back to OASL, look for youngsters Messi and Suarez spend a season with the Jr team...!

Thank you Andy!

By request of Manager Willy, Minnesota Thunder and Minnesota United have now been changed to Inter Miami and Ft Lauderdale FC. This was opened up by the loss of our old Miami team, Miami FC, a few seasons back. The history of MIN will stay with INT, we just will have the new name, abbreviation, and logo for that club.

We'll see if Messi can work his wonders for INT as he does in real life...

Please handle your preseason orders in the 'Transactions' tab for both your senior sides and your youth sides.

Season will start in one week, so please get everythign in place quickly! Only senior sides have matches for the first 6 (I have only scheduled the first two of the six cup group stage matches so far), so no need to worry about the youth sides other than picking your captain for now.
