Will be following this, I'm pretty intrigued to see how people get on with an empty team to start. Something I might do at a later date too

We have a trade to announce!

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/J8tEhnVMW968txVxOANi8wGbPpxpRaQR2k27fK49.png

New York native Juan Agudelo is my first signing.

And signed properly:

Should be a good rotation option for David Villa. If I get lucky I might even be able to sell him for a handsome profit at some point.

Kagan looks really promising.

Also signed this guy:

Just to put another warm body in the squad.

I must say I didn't even look to see if NYC FC or Orlando City would be playable, or even manageable until 2015 in game, since they are coming in next year. But these teams are available from the off?

His coaching attributes are all terrible, but I just couldn't resist it. Hopefully he'll get decent once he gets himself some coaching badges.

Good luck with this mate. Glad to see somebody else having a go with New York City. Great signing in Agudelo. He is quality for me. Hope that you can get some better results with David Villa then I could.

A word of warning though. Villa and Lampard started to moan about being homesick on my game and while Lampard can be talked around I didn't have much luck with Villa.

Hopefully it will all work out for you though.

Meh, Melbourne were dicks and cut the Villa loan after just two games. They haven't played Agudelo a single time either. Bastards.

Anyway, my last signing before the expansion draft:

Remember how I said I wouldn't sign anyone ahead of the expansion draft? Well I didn't stick to that.

We'll see if any of them last long in my squad. Eguren has the makings of a great MLS player, but if I can fill his position with someone cheaper before the season starts he's gone.

I fucking love expansion drafts. It's been over an hour and I'm still absolutely pumped.

Mostly based by decisions on cap hits and contract lengths, Marco Pappa and Soony Saad are tremendous finds from that perspective. Love that I managed to get Johnson as well, him, Lampard and Eguren are going to form the best central midfield in the entire MLS.

Only disappointment with the expansion draft was that Orlando took the guy I wanted to draft with the 1st overall pick in Matt Hedges, they also took Gale Agbossoumonde who I was interested in drafting, otherwise they didn't take anyone that was on my shortlist.

Anyway, exciting times ahead still, with me holding the 1st overall pick in the SuperDraft!

My first player sale! Shilla may be a model citizen, but he wasn't going to get into my first team and wouldn't have justified his league maximum cap-hit. Pretty pleased to get $700k for him. Gives me some nice allocation money to play with.

In other news the scouting for the SuperDraft is not going too well, unfortunately it doesn't seem like there's any real MLS-ready, slam dunk type prospects in this draft, just a few promising long-term projects.

And here's his replacement:

Squad building is so much fun, isn't it?

I have no great affinity for either NYCFC or Orlando, but I think I'm going to have to do a game with either of them just to build the squad.

And IRL, David Villa's loan ended after four matches, but it was NYC that pulled the plug.

I bring you the New York City FC squad for the inaugural season:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/sePkAEKzrm4oRrUMi464rUi9S3QXEYUWBRPBEAE9.png

Added Reo-Coker and Bernier to provide depth on my otherwise, very, very thin midfield. May need to address that further through trade later on.
