MD made his pick at 10:07CET. Fury should have about 2 and a half hours.

So is the consensus that we are doing pure discussion for the games? I would be down to do a mix of sim/discussion if anyone wanted to, but I'm new here, what do the vet posters here think? Just an idea.

I'd love the idea of having a sim also but I don't see how we could.

We could weight the two. Maybe sim a matchup a few times and give that a 1/3 weight against the discussion vote.

I vote against simulations. I don't want to be at the mercy of FIFA or FM's player ratings.
