6 groups of 4 sounds good!

If you read what I said a few posts back, it won't work out in the later stages of the tournament.

Brazil 2 - France 3

Better to lose now than in the real thing :P

What f'ed up formation did you use? Seemed like 5 up front! haha

Was 2 down after 15 mins or so. Got back to 2-2 but anelka scored in 86th or so immediately following gourcuffs introduction in place of Henry

yeah dont think ill be playing henry again lol, he did nothing.

But my formation wasn't a glitch one or anything. It is custom though. Its 4 in defence like normal, holding midfielder, 2 very wide wingers, one second striker, and 2 centre forwards.

Good game though.

Whats the story with formations? Can we use any we want? As I have a good formation that I use in ranked games thats very hard to break down most of the time, but great at attacking.

Sound, I'll more than likely get on for that.

There's jobs goin alright, only through an employment agency though, so they can (and do) get rid of you whenever they want.

I'll see when I get home. I think I'll do 6 groups of 4 anyway with each team playing once. It works out better that way (I think) if someone drops out or doesn't play their games.

Töpher

Was it not already mooted that the numbers don't work for 6 groups once you get past that stage, the number of groups surely has to be 2, 4 or 8?

gooch2k9

4 groups of 6: top 4 qualify?
2 groups of 12; top 8 qualify?
8 groups of 3; top 2 qualify?

thewools

I agree - 8 groups of 3. Top 2 go through

Otherwise it wont work...

If people quit then their fixtures are void and we continue without them - easy!!

+1 means everyone has a chance. Groups with 12 and 8 could get a bit tedious.

colly54

yea 8 groups of 3 for me...and do the same as world cup lay out...
so winner group A plays runner up group B... etc..
Easier to follow!!

L'prof

Whatever ye want lads, 6 groups of 4 with top 2 qualifying and the 4 best 3rd placed teams was how I saw it, that way if 1 teams drops out of your group you still have to qualify, but whatever.

No, it wouldn't seem like a world cup that way...keep it at 8 groups

gooch2k9

Hold your horse lad. I threw this together and it was a bit rushed, so hopefully it's been done correctly, otherwise it's null and void.

Please don't play any games until I've put the league together. It'll be later on as I'm going for a few beers

I thought the quality would have been much better, I must have done something wrong :rolleyes:
