Favourite/disliked teams are already implemented, actually, although I think we need to refine the effect a bit. Player relationships are something that'll get developed in the future - what I want to have is a system that handles things a little more flexibly than just listing a few 1-to-1 relationships for brothers, cousins, friends, etc., and can evolve dynamically. It'll probably revolve more around groups of variable size and relationship strength, so the same model could handle different situations like a big extended Sutter-like family, a successful junior line wanting to stay together as pros, or a team's old-boys network that tends to hire each other.
