i honestly dont know how i beat the slashers tonight maybe its my new 37k trainee hooker

also beat zagato but with 45 points to 7 in the first half losing the 2nd 7-0 was a bit weird

I was wondering what the reason was...:rolleyes:

In fairness you're a good bit higher rated than me..although I thought I'd sneak it with all the line breaks!:eek:

Oiiy! What's more embarrassing is the way you did kick my ass

Wow, very close match there with FRF, only won it due to the boot. 5 penalties kicked over the bar, those FRF boys must have been bold.

week two:A a full round of games Westmen continued on from last week winning well 56-0 against Tallaght. Alling also won 29-0 against Ponyo. Nenagh ran out winners away from home against Stall it 12-57. And Lawfirm lost 30-53 in an entertaining game J s s b .


To the teams lower down the division dont give up Westmen had to wait until their third season before they won more than two games in one season with good management your team can become compettive and more enjoyable

The blackout leagues are a tougher challenge to the real ones....which I like:p

More surprised Alling allstars beat Ponyo 29-0 in Div 6!!! Although he did leave his best players out...they still shoulda beat me easily!!!

He definitely played week 2 anyway, there's a few teams yet to accept the week 3 to week 8 fixtures. I'll send a reminder tonight so people logging in over the weekend will accept them.

Hmmm. Probably going to have to stop getting my arse kicked at some stage here.

When did you start playing? have a review of the Q&A threads and post if any questions. you can also post looking for advice in the season 17 thread on your league and if you wish you can post players and seek advice as to where they should play or sell them etc.

We all endeavour to help as much as possible, the more humans playing the more fun for all!

i think i'm on my 3rd season possibly (Ponyo), only getting a bit more into it now, buying the odd time when i happen to be near the deadline, started training my team up moreso as i think i may have been paying over the odds for old players, not sure where to place them really, need to really dive into the guides its alot of take in, especially team selection wise

There's a fairly steep learning curve alright, I would encourage you to sign up to the off sight and have a look at the u20's training section. you will see there what goals each position has and will learn what is important for each role quickly.

Can't link to it as it if blocked by work, but if I remember I will do it tonight.

Once the learning curve is mastered it is a very enjoyable game at any level, casual player complete addict who spends days scouting each match!

Zagato

Here's the link to the offsite.

Sign up, introduce yourself and you'll find people are very helpful

Two small bits of advice...

1. Pick a price initially and don't spend over it, until your comfortable with the TM. When I started I got too bogged down thinking that I needed every player I bid on and it got out of control. Now a days I look at a player and pick a max price. If your not sure about a max price, look at similar players on the TM, see what they are going for, and also see what you have in the bank...

2. For the players that you brought and are unsure of their positions, look to see where their last manager played them, look at their ratings in those fixtures.

first thing i'd do is stop buying until i knew what i had and where they should be playing and how to play them

heaviest players in general are forwards
fastest players backs
balanced players back row centres
best handlers kickers the halves
check your match reports and move players that are not playing best in that position
read posts advice in lounges
read game documentation


my team aint flash but if you stick with it you can have great fun ,the thrill of beating a live team that you dont expect to is wow:D

Well, yet again I've missed setting up my team by minutes, mere minutes! Kinda looking at the tactics in a strop, being a bit "well if I didn't get to pick a good team, what's the point in putting effort into tactics... uuughhh!"

Ah bless. Think Gideons are one of my bogey clubs too. Damn. If only there was a simple TNT option on a Thursday.
