Look people RULES IS RULES!

This is a rule in this league. If you break it, prepare to face the consequences, ie. expulsion.

You've made some good points in your last post, but this was not one of them. I don't claim to be Jesus.

Ive seen you unimpressed when your connection droppd a few times and you lost the game over it cos it meant you wont win the league. So you are competitive about it as much as anyone else even though its just a game you want to win too.

Of course, everybody wants to win. All you have said above is true. The difference with me and (some) other people is this...If I'm to win, I'd like to win it fairly and squarely. Do you like to lose? I hope not. If my connection drops (as it has done twice) when I've been winning games, this is frustrating...but its not exactly a life defining moment that I will carry with me forever. Ten mins later it will be forgotten, so games should be decided fairly. This is my point.

Leave the sarcasm out would ya? No need for it. I just want some sound lads to play a few league games against, bit of banter, not childish rubbish.

Definitely, for the most this league has been good craic. One suggestion though for the season ahead. I find most people dont talk on their mics possibly cos of the concentration etc, i know we can play friendlies if we like but maybe e should organise nights of friendlies before the league starts where people can be more talkative and strike up a bit more banter??? I played future guy a few times yesterday and out of everyone in the league hes the only one ive heard on the mic. Possibly create another league just so we dont have to go adding all the people to our friends list where its set to play each team something like 5 times but just play the games as friendlies just to chat and get the banter going.

Y2J, for the most part we are in complete agreement with each other on the tackling issues i just think the likes of what you said about the game with seany where you can make the challenge and win the ball has to be allowed. So lets leave it at that cos as i said we agree 99% and although i didnt get to play you in this league ive actually played against you before on another one and know your a sound player.

Looking forward to season 2 and cheeres to Future Guy for the organisation, really looking forward to the cup matches too which should make things interesting.

To the few people ive left to play ive sent friend invites so posty a message on here or something if you are one of the ones with no box or whatever, ive a post on the gameweek 4 thread. Im already losing out cos i took over from Soby so anyone ive left to play id appeciate to get to play you if possible.

Bubs101

What if it's a legitimate tackle on a man running through on goal who showed you a fair bit of the ball. I came very very close to doing it to Future Guy (I think) a few days ago but I had a decent chance of getting the ball and it was my only option. Presume that's a different kettle of fish?

Oh right, savage, that does sound like me alright. I did spend an awful lot of time on Pro Evo before so this is entirely possible! I don't remember being in any Pro Evo leagues though.

I used to have a gamertag the same as my boards name aswell before the feckin' thing got corrupted which I played Pro Evo....You must have some memory if you remembered my tag! Jesus! Gimme a shout if you want a few friendlies or whatever!

Again, what are you rambling on about? You've never even played me. Your points are as well thought out as a solar detonated explosive strapped to your face. If my connection didn't drop twice when I was odds on to win games in the second half, I'd have a better record and higher win ratio than you do. Your 21-1-1. I would be 21-1-0 (including my Soby win) if Magnet would allow me to stay connected for more than five mins at a time, meaning a game in hand to over take you, so congrats "champ". Hope you enjoy your "victory". Perhaps next time you should think before you made yourself look even more retarded. At least you provide some good laughs though.

Remember, in future, to keep your words short and sweet because some day, someone will make you eat them.

If I beat someone, I don't go around gloating like a jackass afterwards and talking sh!t, both of which you seem to be doing quite a lot of.

FutureGuy

Guys, it's pretty obvious that we will not complete all games this year, and I do have a very good way of differentiating people. It may not be 100% accurate but it'll give noone a reason to be unhappy about the team they are able to choose. The less experienced players will still get the best teams and the best players will have to adapt to playing an unfamiliar team so it should be an excellent league next year.

It will work in your favour to play as many games as you can between now and Friday.

This year really is only a test run to see who is who, and we can get on with all the cool stuff next year.

On Saturday morning, I will be posting the official order for choosing the teams for next year. We need to get everyone assigned to a team within a week so I suggest you look at a few teams that may match your league position.

I have thought hard about what to do with all the new players who are looking to get involved, and while I feel they are all a good bunch, it may be harmful to introduce so many new players into the league without any knowledge of styles/ability etc.

So, I am proposing we run a new qualifying league in tandem with the Season 2 league. This would leave us with approx 24 existing players divided into Premier League and Championship and 8-10 playing in a new qualifying league?

Opinions?

Bubs101

If there's only 8-10 in the new qualifying league you could start that immediately and have the top 3 or 4 join the top league and the reast join the championship. Probably wouldn't take too long and you could even do a cup.

Just a quick question. Do you get first refusal on the team you picked for the league?

I thought about that, but I'm not sure I could get it finished in time. It would probably delay the league for another week. All new players would have to get the games finished in a week and they would probably have to meet up at one or two designated periods. because its Christmas, it'll be tough.

Bubs101 wrote: »

I have been thinking about you and your decision to pick Udinese for season 1 (and the fact you didn't complain and soldiered on regardless). Because of your standing in the league and the relative strength of Udinese (which would probably be a fair match), I'm thinking of allowing you to pick Udinese from the start. I'll look at the exact results, standings and Udinese stats later, but if noone has a problem, I'm going to let you choose Udinese.

I'll get back to you on this.

I'm down near the bottom of the league (21st I think). So I should among the first to chose my team I think. And if it's ok with you, and no one has any objections I'd like to stay with Milan please.

FutureGuy

Hi Moz, We will see...i'm sure you will get to choose Milan based on your standing as there are arguably 4-5 better teams.


I can't guarantee anyone a team but I don't think you or Bubs will have any problems, as in essence, ye would be choosing a weaker team than ye could do, given your league standing.

Think this is a good idea! I dunno about setting up a separate league though, you never know whether you would actually be invited to a game in the proper league unless you picked different teams and stuff.

Theres loads of times I just want to arse around and play a few quick unranked games rather than dive into a 14min long battle

I was thinking more along the lines that this would run for a week or two before the league started and only on certain nights so that we could have a bit of banter pre season. Then when the real league starts just shut the friendly one

Sorry for not replying...I agree 100%. I like having a chat, but my game goes to the dogs when I do, so a friendly night would be a laugh!

Playing & talking is usually a big distraction for me, I get confused between the music coming from the pc, the persons voice, thinking of an answer and playing the game.

I might break out the mighty Sheffield Wednesday or Reading for this friendly league for the laugh :D:D:D:D

endakenny (Bonkers) lives!!!!! Please feel free to PM Endakenny if you haven't played him yet!

Axwell

Is he still in the league at this stage, ie can we play our games against him?

EDIT:

I see you posted elsewhere hes not in the league nor is Lenigma and Stevo so do we get walkovers against them?

FutureGuy

I'll decide everything on Friday. I'm considering giving everyone a walkover against Enda, but not with other two.

Have some people got to play the other 2 tho? That would be a bit unfair to those of us that havent got to play them since its not our fault we cant play them.

I know, and I am doing the best I can. EndaKenny was useless and would probably finish last. This is why I'm thinking of giving everyone a walkover. The other two were good players and it would be unfair to the people who beat them to give everyone a win.

Axwell, I consider you a special situation and I will be fair when dealing with you and your results. What is your current record?

Y2J_MUFC

Enda Kenny was missing and doing absolutely feck all for the past while, but now he's back, eh? Seems familiar. Must be an election on the horizon.

Good question, i tried to keep track of most of my results so its something along the lines of

P W D L F A
15 7 5 3 32 36 (god damn that 11-0 beating)

With 6 people i cant play cos i replaced Soby and 4 games left to play.
3 of which are no longer possible so i have just Batesy left to play

Pretty sure I played against you in the Championship only clubs, boards league for Fifa 08.

They count as unranked matches and Addias live season isn't enabled as far as I know.

Ye I was Sheffield United but that league fell apart quickly! That's why I was a bit reluctant to join a 09 league.

Futureguy, dont know if you got my pm because i sent it from my phone and they only send about half of the time. If you didnt get it, count me in for season 2 please, GT is greenhawk 88.

If you are not on the list, you have either not applied or have been omitted due to poor spotsmanship. The people that have been omitted due to sportsmanship issues have been told of this fact, so if your name is still missing, let me know asap. I'm pretty sure I have everyone listed.

I will send the password via PM soon. This password is private and is not to be given to anyone else.

New players, I will be running a mini-league starting very soon, so please keep an eye-out for announcements on this thread.

Axwell

Nice one Futureguy, looking forward to getting back into this. Any update on picking teams etc?

FutureGuy

I'm working on it tonight. Obviously, the league table is not 100% accurate so I have to be a small bit flexible with people.

The current plan is as follows.

Assign the 19 players a ranking based on performance in Season 1 (we may get 1 or 2 more returning players).

Divide the 19 into groups of 4. The first group will consist of the bottom 4 players. I will ask them to pick their top 3 team choices and PM them back to me. The bottom player on the list will get their first pick, and I will work back to the fourth player on the list. Once the teams are assigned, I will post the team selections on this boards, and we will do the same for the next group of 4 players. This will continue until all teams have been assigned. This will speed up the process.

The teams will be assigned in the following order...

Season 1 players assigned to Championship
New players assigned to Championship
Season 1 players assigned to Premiership
New players assigned to Premiership

Spider_Baby!

Hey, i was wondering - if its not too late can i join the mini-league to try and get into the championship and hopefully work my way up to the Premier League?? I only saw this thread now

My GT is SuperChambo if anyone wants a friendly or anything!!

I'll be creating a mini-league tonight for all NEW PLAYERS and will be posting the password Friday. The minileague will last for 1 week. Players will be assigned to one of the main divisions, subject to the usual fair play rules.

FutureGuy

By the way, if we have an odd number of returning players, more players will be assigned to the Premier League. At the moment, the top 10 will go to the Premiership and the remaining 9 will be in the Championship.

Yeah well done Futureguy.

I must admit I'm a little confused about how you're setting up the leagues but I'm sure it will work out alright.

Am looking forward to getting back into it in the new year.
