What a tough start to my Premiership Season...:(

......... SCHALKE 04 (y2j_mufc) v OLYMPIC LYONNAIS (futureguy) .........
......... OLYMPIC LYONNAIS (futureguy) v TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR (mister robinson)
......... OLYMPIC LYONNAIS (futureguy) v UDINESE (bubs101) .........

A LYon are a better team than ours. I got Celtic first which is probably the easiest start in terms of team quality but I'm setting myself up for a fall

You think?
I've Got Liverpool (A), Chelsea (A) and Arsenal (H) as my first 3 fixtures :rolleyes:

Y2J_MUFC · 16-01-2009 11:29pm

Well lads, I don't think I'm gonna play any game until Monday at the earliest when I can get onto Magnet and get them to sort my connection out. Don't want it costing me any more games.

Just had some match there with Mr. Moon as a warm up, using my experimental formation. Some game. We're very evenly matched! Got a 2-0 win with a goal in the last min, some match. Both hit the crossbar once. I hope Schalke don't lose Lovenkrands, he's actually good! We're going to have some unreal league matches here I'd say. I know Schalke aren't great, but they are competitive, you can't bang in the goals like you can with United, but I don't feel majorly, majorly disadvantaged like I would have been with someone like Newcastle or Lazio.

I think he might of meant the quality of the opposing player not the teams

Yeah, I was referring to the quality of opponent I have to face, but I don't envy your fixtures either Moz!

Played an lost to Mister Robinson 5-2 last night, and I can't remember being so dissapointed after a game. I was expecting a very tough game and was hoping to get a point out of it. In the first 20 minutes, I had the better of the possession, and came close on a number of occasions. Finally, I went 1-0 up at half-time thanks to Benzema, but fell 2-1 behind thanks to some truely clinical finishing. With about 25 minutes to go, I equalized through Govou. However, the lead didn't last too long after he punsihed some hopeless defenfing. Mister Robinson scored 2 more in the last 2 minutes to make it 5-2. He thoroughly deserved the win, but I didn't deserve to lose by 5

.

I had nerves all though the game, which make it all the more enjoyable. if I can pick any point from my next two games, I'd be delighted!

It's ok FG, you didn't loose by 5 it was only 3 in the end

I really enjoyed that game....Didnt mean to smash 5 by ya

.
Couldnt get the ball of you at in the the first half and after you scored i had to change formation and tactic's.....I honestly though I was going to lose the game when you scored. I was jumping off my seat after I scored 3,4 and 5....Good game in all

Mister Robinson · 17-01-2009 3:18pm

......... TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR (mister robinson) v PLACEHOLDER FC (skippy65) .........

Anyone heard from him yet?

Hes my last game of this round

Mr Moon · 17-01-2009 3:22pm

I have to play him too in this round!! Where is he???

Axwell · 17-01-2009 3:27pm

Its day 1 of the league lads im sure he will be on at some point..there are 6 more days left in the week

FutureGuy · 17-01-2009 4:34pm

Don't worry, he'll join soon.

Yeah i know.....I just wanna play

Y2J_MUFC · 18-01-2009 8:13pm

Thank ****ing God this league is running. I'm sick of these retards and their custom sides. Every team I play against has Torres, Ronaldo, Eto'o, Gerrard, Ronaldinho.

**** sake. The same retard then wouldn't even give you a chance to setup your own side by hammering the ready button to be an annoying prick.

Any time I play against a custom side I'm filing a complaint under tampering. Its a joke. FIFA is becoming unplayable online because of it.

I know what you mean!! I played a 5* Leeds teams last night, come on, leeds will never have a 5* team

I beat him 2-0 with Everton and sent him a message to get real and stop dreaming that it'll never happen!!!

Y2J_MUFC · 19-01-2009 10:18am

I don't mind it, as long as they do it with a non-five star team. That way I can quit at the team selection. Its annoying though, Played some fella who had a super Roma, I was thinking there is no way Totti is this fast....he made up a 15 yard head start on a center back, and oh look, theres Ronaldo.

Insta-quit. Insta-report for cheating.

Hmm how is this happening exactly? Is this in ranked matches?

Y2J_MUFC · 19-01-2009 10:30am

They can do it in either. Apparently, that check for default squads actually does nothing. If you change your squad offline, then you can use it online. So they put all the good players with some side and think they are great if they can beat someone with the best 11 players in the game playing all together.

Pointless.

bennyc · 19-01-2009 10:52am

I think this is as much a fault in the game rather than cheating. I know people who have imported their be a pro player into their team in manager mode now the player is there all the time. My son was messing about the other day and somehow managed to put Ronaldo into the Milan squad. I had to reset the default squads to get it sorted out.

Y2J_MUFC · 19-01-2009 11:33am

I don't mind people using their Be A Pro player at all... thats fair enough, but when you've got a team of Ronaldo's...against Schalke, ya know? Thats fairly well taking the whiz...

It is a fault with the game, just like theres a fault with COD where people get under the map and shoot others, and can't be shot themselves. Its there, but taking advantage of it is cheating, in my book anyways.

Mr Moon · 19-01-2009 11:53am

So no word form this Skippy fella yet??

FutureGuy · 19-01-2009 11:57am

Yep, got a message late last night. Playing as Villareal so we are all set!

Guys, remember to PM your opponents or add them as friends on Live to make sure you get your matches played before the end of the week. Once I have all gameweek results, I will be updating the tables!

Y2J_MUFC · 19-01-2009 1:14pm

So seeing as the tables are kept updated here, we could realistically allow rematches for dropped connections? Now, before we dismiss it completely....

I was playing a friendly match against Besty69, he knocked out his ethernet cable from his laptop after about 2 mins into the game. It would be a little harsh to take a 3-0 for this on my part when we could set up a 14 mins unranked game and play as the two teams...

We could make it completely up to the winners descression with no obligation. Just a thought. Hopefully Magnet are sorting out my connection today anyways.

Samurai · 19-01-2009 1:18pm

So there I was scanning the championship post seeing if I was included and then it dawned on me, I forgot to apply, doh! Anywho is there a league 1 being setup or a conference?!

I'd love to competitive games rather than playing hobos who'll leave!

I agree, we could do this and it would work very well most of the time. However, there are just too many ways to take advantage of this. For example, 2 players almost finishing a game as a scoreless draw which does nothing for both of their chances to win the league/get promoted etc-they agree to disconnect so they can play for a win. Also an excellent player looking like getting a draw against a weaker player disconects and asks for a rematch.

And it also leaves the door open for fighting. What if one player asks for a rematch and the other player doesn't want to.

I have to let this stand guys!
