I've come to the conclusion that SI want to create a game for the casual LLM manager and I'm not one of them. Perhaps that is too exact, lets say whilst it's difficult to put everyone in a box, I'm not really in that box much.
But, it's what FML is so why bother whining about it:)
Anyway with FML on the back burner we're two days away from the World Cup so I'm going to focus on that now.

And the problem is (as you've pointed out before) that there really is no discernible demographic of casual LLM types. It's kind of an oxymoron.
LLM style FM players typically are *extremely* hardcore with their playing habits and love spending hours upon hours working on their bringing their small club up to prominence.
Those that play FM casually typically are the ones who choose big clubs in big leagues and don't take the game as seriously in a time-consuming way.
You're looking at a very small subset that overlaps both groups, don't you think?
I think the problem with FML is say 150-200 managers are your hard core 8-16 hours per day, while the rest 800 or so are 3 hours per day or less.
If SI aimed the game at the people who dont have jobs etc, and more at the hardcore gamer the more casuel user wouldnt have a chance, say "screw this" and leave.

Agreed
@Anon
3 Hours a day is very hardcore.
My point is if your pitching the game at a user who plays for 3 hours a week he's not likely to be finding value at £5 a month.
As they do that we can only get 3 hours a week value from the game. Then in turn it's not worth it to anyone.
