Interesting positive take on it there Kiwi. The thing is, what if you hate the team after 5 games? It happens often enough for me. Now I'll have to trudge thru another 5 before playing the 5 I can judge them on.
20 games later... Yeah, this team is a load of old c
ock.....
BPL manager cards... Hoover them up come the release flood
But yeah, valid points. The no formation thing is great, I had a number of duplicates in my trade pile last year. I do like the manager side of things as well, lessening the demand for position cards is a godsend, but it does bug me that lots of countries will miss that, particularly at bronze level. 5 league/5 nation hybrids are gonna demand the loyalty aspect and that's what annoys me. I
never go with less than full chem but now my only choice is that or boring teams.
