My bad if this isn't really the right spot for this, so if anyone actually knows how to move threads around, please feel free to toss this where it belongs.

So, I’ve been sitting on this idea to run a "Mercato Cup" (that's just my name for it, anyway). I haven't ironed out all the messy details yet, but I wanted to float it here first to see if anyone would actually give a damn or if I'm just talking to myself.

Basically, it’s a game where you try to predict player transfers. Once the transfer window slams shut, whoever nailed the most moves walks away with the most points. Simple enough.

Here’s a quick, rough sketch of how it would work. If people actually show interest, I'll put together something more detailed in a few days.

The plan is to split players into different groups, and each group would carry a different point value.

For instance, one group could have 10 players, and if you nail a transfer from that bunch, you get 10 points. Like, if someone like Dani Olmo moves to AC Milan and you called it, you bag those 10 points. Boom.

That's the gist of it. Hopefully, enough of you are down for this so I can actually bother making a full breakdown and we can decide whether to pull the trigger on this or just let it die.

I’m already in, though I’d probably wait a few more days to see if my buddy from last season reaches out about whether he’s jumping back in or not. Haven't seen him around the boards in forever.

So, are we doing a new season?

Looks like I lost my teammate, so figured I'd jump in early and start hunting for a new 😁
