5-1 hammering of 5th place Sh*tzengiggles leaves me in good standing for a second successive promotion, no chance of winning the league again though...

Sitting in third, 3 points off 2nd spot, with the last game of the season coming up against the team in 2nd. My goal difference is ten behind theirs so will need to knock in a good few goals over the next two games or hopefully Kev can take a few points off them

Helix · 13-10-2008 4:07pm

a win on thursday guarantees me 2nd place, i think first is out of reach. im 6 points behind with 3 to play, BUT ive still to play the top placed team so you never know

GuanYin · 13-10-2008 4:11pm

11 wins out of 11 today and will finish in either 1st or second place.

A win next week gives us the division.

eagle eye · 13-10-2008 4:30pm

2-0 away defeat to the Chickens leaves me back in third 3 points behind the joint leaders. Little chance of winning the League now.

Lost 2-1. Still a slim chance of staying up.

4-0 win for me.

Remember with the upcoming cull at the end of the season you have every chance of bumping up a division

11 wins against mediocre opposition isn't it? Pfft. We'll see how you get on in the big leagues....if you ever get there!*

wcarey1975 · 13-10-2008 5:24pm

And he comes back from vacation to inspire a 6-1 away win and move Rafaloution out of the relegation zone... Phew was getting a little worried there for a while.

dfx- · 13-10-2008 5:25pm

Are there any good/reasonably looked after sides available shortly?

I've left one league and am looking for another..

I warn that in the proper Xpert League yesterday, I injured franzie's (no1 ranked manager in the game) 16 skilled goalkeeper for the rest of the season and possibly wrecked his treble hunt and entry to the hall of fame...:o

Rolly United continue their blistering form and are now a whisker away from securing the Div 4 title.

staker · 14-10-2008 10:34pm

3 to play and it looks like div 4 for melchester.
need to win all 3 and even then need other results to go my way.
addictive stuff this reality soccer:rolleyes:

roryc · 16-10-2008 1:53pm

Threw a few of the youngsters out today against minnows Futurechamps... easy 7-0 win see's me sitting pretty in third, three points off Getouttathatgarden.

My goal difference is only 4 less now after todays win, so a good match next week will set up a 2nd place clash vs Getouttathatgarden on the final day of the season.

Second successive promotion all but guaranteed

Xavi6 · 16-10-2008 2:17pm

Relegation confirmed thanks to a 1-0 defeat.

We've only actually lost 1 game by more than a single goal.

eagle eye · 16-10-2008 2:25pm

I relegated Xavi and stay in the hunt for the title, 3 points behind the joint leaders.

KevIRL · 16-10-2008 2:42pm

A 1-0 loss for me today means there's no hope of promotion by conventional means*

*god knows what might happen after the manager cull though

kerash · 16-10-2008 2:46pm

I was being relegated anyway so getting beat 1-0 didn't make much difference. A win in the next match might be some consolation - Hi Xavi6!

staker · 16-10-2008 4:25pm

slim chance of avoiding the drop now,too many draws this season.
roll on the next season

genericgoon · 16-10-2008 4:26pm

Rolly United are now but a point away from confirming their status as Division 4 champions. With their final 2 opponents being the mid-table Devestated II and the relegated Futurechamps, things are looking great for last seasons Div 5 runner-ups.

GuanYin · 16-10-2008 5:11pm

12 straight wins and crowned champions today.

I've 2 games left against 2nd and 3rd place teams.

I'm not sure whether to aim for the "invincibles" title or develop my youth players.

Ste05 2-1 Helix
Possession: 55 - 45 (53-47)

while missing 3 star players...

I'm actually pretty confident of finishing second in the league, finally got my sh1t together.... also I'm the last team to beat GuanYin.

Although I have to play some young lads for the next 2 games so my youths against Guan's, I'd say I'll win, full strength v full strength tougher assuming I get my injured players back... quite a signing I got me... 3 games 7 goals and he's youngish to boot

ThE_IVIAcIVIAIV · 17-10-2008 4:40pm

any chance of an INV to the league? username General69 club name Trouser Snake FC

Xavi6 · 20-10-2008 1:35pm

Another single goal defeat, this time 3-2. Young fellas will be out for the last game.

roryc · 20-10-2008 2:16pm

4-0 win secures second successive promotion for Luck FTW.

~Rebel~ · 20-10-2008 4:10pm

Division 3 is going right to the wire. Only 1 point seperates the top 4 teams with 1 game to go.

GuanYin · 20-10-2008 4:11pm

That looks unlikely now.

In fact, there is a chance you may not even make promotion unless you win.

eagle eye · 20-10-2008 4:43pm

All over for me. Lags somehow held out for a draw to leave me 5 behind the Chickens. Can't do any better than third and prob no worse either.

Clondalkin the only team guaranteed promotion. I fear for your safety though, Rebel. My prediction is that the current top three will go up. I can't see Rebel Ath. beating Kautos Stars no matter how much I would like to see it. Kautos have been our main rivals for the past 2 seasons. ITT-Pat has also been manager of the season twice in a row now (Judging by who has the most manager of the weeks).

Have to beat Kirkby, who are fighting for survival to survive, to guarantee the title. and TBH I would love it if we beat them, love it. Dr. Lego's press releases are quite annoying.

Through plays << Offence >> Varied
Normal << Defence >> Normal
No << Prepared >> Yes
Bruise << Aggression >> Normal

I know, I was far too complacent against Killinaskully, both my 7 rated strikers played a 1 and a 2 each... chances of me getting up now are pretty slim to none.

Emmo · 21-10-2008 4:36pm

Here NiallK you know its me I am talking about.

I will give you those tactics though, if you want them.

Classic self loating and the desire to be in a league befitting my mediocre players compels me.

So I guess 3-5-2

Play maker going to be Cook. Make him the captain too so that he is easier to mark.

Gonna tighten up the centre and then attack via through balls myself.

No win bonus, cheating on.

anything else I can dish on myself?

Ohh anything could happen, I wouldn't count on the other two teams winning, you could pull off an upset against me.

KevIRL and Helix? What happens with the manager cull? If players drop out of the higher divisions, do the new managers start at the bottom and the teams below get bumped up or do you just switch the new players in for the ones leaving/inactive?

If teams get culled then the rest of the teams get shuffled up. Any new teams go in at the end in whatever is then the lowest division.

You'll get promoted to division 4, which will still be the bottom division

Seriously though. Any new managers will take the place of inctive managers. Any remaining inactive teams will be booted out and the leagues realigned.

KevIRL · 23-10-2008 1:37pm

Final results are in..

KevIRL · 23-10-2008 2:01pm

All of the managers below are in danger of being culled next week. If you are on the list and want to continue in the league, either drop me a line or log onto xpert11 and go in and check your team

Reganio
FutureChamps
Denfitz
Roadsweeper
Kryogen
ImNoSuperman
SantryRed
Fitzkids
Tusky88
UP-D-SHOCKS
PepeLeFrits
DesF

Anyone who would like to join the league, now is the time to do so....

Well done on getting your 14 wins out of 14 but you do know that none of your youth players will improve now in the Change Report as they didnt play ?

wardie · 23-10-2008 2:13pm

The Chickens are Champions of the Premier Division after getting the better of the Yolks 4-2.

:D

With 7 players 21 or underwith at least 15 Average Form we should have a decent CR too

:)

~Rebel~ · 23-10-2008 2:21pm

Gutted. Another season in division 3 next year after finishing only 3 points off top.

Ste05 · 23-10-2008 2:33pm

Fair play to Bhoys of 69 and Stanley Victor for pipping me to the promotion places in Division 5...

And also congrats to GuanYin on his 100% record, the final match was quite immense, it seemed pretty even looking at the stats, but he deserves the 1-0 victory, at least I'm happy my lads didn't leave anything on the pitch... next year my team should be alot stronger again, with my youth developing well although I will be losing one of my top defenders to retirement...

all 3 teams for the original division 2 getback to back promotions although the final positions are slightly changed this time out. One of them for the premier league title next season?
