Work is happening for season 7 although no massive changes are planned, here is what is being worked on/considered for you to discuss during the last few days of the season, and the update weekend.

First of all, the team sheet page will be shrunk hopefully. A few people have commented on this and each season I've tried to bring down the size of it, so hopefully again it will become smaller. Also, will have a slightly different look, which may help make it easier to view compared to the background colouring.

Looking at expanding the tactical side a little. Nothing huge, but a couple of extra options for managers to get a little bit more into their team and the way they want them to play, but with options just to leave it as standard if you so wish. These aren't guarenteed although the first is pretty much uploaded to the engine for next season already:

Philosophy
     - Rigid
     - Balanced
     - Fluid

Marking
     - Zonal
     - Default
     - Man Marking

Pressure
     - High Pressure: All over pitch
     - Medium Pressure: Own half
     - Low Pressure: Own area

Something which had been discussed is an extra scouting area which everyone can bid in, that includes spare English based players who aren't already in the game. This is something very likely to come in, although the only point for debate there is whether ALL clubs will be able to bid, or just all teams playing outside the top flights - to avoid the big clubs picking up squad players on the cheap as this wouldn't much benefit the small clubs.

Another thing previously discussed, is the club facilities such as club shop. Obviously only 1 team has bought an upgrade who will benefit this season, but it was suggested to give people the full option at the start of the season along with stadium expansion - rather than to have them as random bidding wars on the message board. This will hopefully change for the start of next season, giving you a bigger form to apply for stadium expansions and large club shops etc.

And finally, someone has offered the idea of a new side game next season. Are people interested in a prediction league? Similar to betting, but without the money and odds, and instead you simply guess the score lines of selected games each week and get points for right result, or exact score etc?

Any comments, declarations of interest, or anything else, please stick here as you lot can debate stuff while I'm updating this weekend, and I will also make regular checks back here to see what people think.

Richard.
