    I name the captain after myself, and the rest of my squad after famous players from Hong Kong, where I'm from...

    Thing is, I'm not used to seeing a bunch of Chans, Los, Cheungs, Lees running around (lol) we use initials on the back of the player's shirt as well because some surnames are just way too common. Korea and China use this practice as well....so you see players like K. W. Lee or something like that.

    Once you get to few levels higher, it doesn't seem cool anymore because a lot of people have those names. What I don't see a whole lot are legends. So naming your team based on some players from 80's, 90's is cool. I see Maradona, Pele, etc. but if you go "2nd tier" like Bebeto, Careca, Ceulemans, Scifo, Deschamps, Koeman, Laudrup, Boniek, Milla, Alex McLeish, etc. I don't see those guys

    ooooo that's a thought, probably just keep them as they are then.


    Lol In my noob days, I bidded insanely for a player called Robert Lewandowski not realising there are probably hundereds of those lol


    Also I seem to be adding like 4/5 new players to my first team every season so would be a gross waste of tokens simply renaming every season.

    I've named a few. I had a player named Jose HeadDeBall first season - I love the idea someone in Turkey is using him after buying. Unless they re-re-named him of course. I sold Eddie Vedder [lead singer with Pearl Jam] recently too

    Haven't done it and probably never will - it's a waste of tokens, since I'm not a buyer and I don't get any entertainment from that either. It's even annoying and I avoid even buying renamed players. However I do have an Iker Casillas GK however, got him as a free agent 2 seasons ago when I needed a second GK.
