Weston Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Why am I being forced to choose a captain both on June 30 and July 1? I don't know what the transfer window will hold, so I'd rather wait and make my selection closer to the start of the season, rather than pick someone now and risk upsetting them if I get a much better captain coming in later, or waste the selection if I sell the player. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
right_winger Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Upvoted. Captaincy should be decided a few days before the season, maybe before last one or two friendlies. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Kyle Brown Posted May 6, 2020 Administrators Share Posted May 6, 2020 Can you think of many examples where the captaincy process is as drawn out as that though? Can you think of teams that have held off naming a captain to give it a potential signing? Only one that springs to mind is possibly Rooney at Derby, but that situation was influenced heavily by Keogh/drink driving incident. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weston Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 I'm not saying it needs to be drawn out to a few days before the season, but I'm not saying it should be decided the literal day the season switches over, either. I'm speaking mainly from the perspective of a club that is climbing the league ladder and experiencing a lot of turnover. If my captain is leaving, much of my previous squad consisted of loaned players that are leaving, and I will be bringing in like 10 new players, it would be absurd to choose the captain from the small random assortment existing on July 1 instead of waiting until the appropriate player is ready over the coming month or so.
