Band of Brothers P03: Jost-ein Time | @KingOfTheRooks
Welcome back to a world at war. At least that’s the mentality we’d whipped up our siblings into. The rules make it tough, so we have to keep them hungry. If you missed last week, you can catch up here.
Band of Brothers P02: How Flo Can You Go? | @KingOfTheRooks
Welcome back to the next instalment of BoBs. That’s right, that’s what I’m calling it. Get used to it! Last time out We kept close enough to the early leaders and endured a torrid first mission in Europe. You can catch-up on what happened and the rules of this save here.
Band of Brothers P01: Happy Families | @KingOfTheRooks
Hello and welcome to the latest CM9798 experiment! I’ve been banging on about this one for a while so thought it best that I get to it.
German management brothers Wolfgang and Friedhelm (aka me) are tasked with taking on The Premier League and Champions League with a team of siblings. There will be rules:
- Any starting XI must have 5 pairs of brothers
- Substitutes are a free for all
- If one sibling is injured, the other cannot make the match day squad
Fergie’s Nineties: Which Vintage Was the Best Man United Team? | @KingOfTheRooks
Hello and welcome to the latest wacky idea I’ve cooked up in my head to throw at CM9798. What the f*** has happened here you ask? Well…Fergie’s success at Man Utd was built in the 1990’s. But which of his carefully crafted teams was the pinnacle? Many will say the treble winners of 98-99. But is that true?
We have carefully recreated the teams of each season from 1990-91 to 1999-00. Ten sides, pitched against each other.
The Keegan-Burger P12: The Last Burger | @KingOfTheRooks
Willkommen! This is the final part in our Keegan-Burger experiment, if you missed the last one, you can catch up here. Brown’s morale has been at a low ebb and as ever, he’s had niggling injuries disrupting his time in Hamburg. However, we’ve clawed our way back up with a silly formation that seems to be doing the trick.

Merry Easter Monday! Here’s Andrew with an Easter egg for you all…
Willkommen! If you missed us last time out, you can catch up here. If you just want to read on, then its fairly obvious we are having an absolute stinker in the league.
We decide it’s time to bring an old head in to sit alongside our younger forwards. Welcome the crocodile man at an absolute snip.
Playable Northern Irish League – Season 1997/98 | @KingOfTheRooks
Good morning! We’ve got a treat for you this bank holiday weekend – Andrew has been hard at work building a new league for you to enjoy…
Well, hello there! It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. And having recruited the assistance of @CharleMagne9798 and @ManagerOld I’ve been able to take things a little step further. Also, big nod to the ‘Northern Ireland Football Players Directory 1998/99’ which was a comprehensive list of players, positions, dates of birth and histories of c. 600 players.

Happy Monday! As Covid ravages through CM9798 Towers, here’s Andrew with some good food for the soul.
Willkommen! Here we are again. Last time out the Champions League kept us off the pace at the top of the table and we can get close by winning games in hand. If you missed the last episode, you can catch up here.

Saturday night is alright for fighting but it’s 9.30am, so here’s Andrew with the culmination of World Cup 98.
