Ross. Let's go. You and me. Mano a mano. Best eleven. Are you game?

EDIT:Well, it seems that the celtic tribes have heard of the might of the Uruks and do not dread face me (he doesnt have a formation ready). So does anyone else have the balls to meet my challenge?

James isn't playing Henry or Reyes in his first game

something is not right here :)

[Top Gun]

He is probably saving them for the harder games that he has to make sure that he wins those games.

[Keyser Soze]

Thats what squad rotation is all about really. Its not like James doesn't have adequate cover for them anyway.

[Usul]

What makes you think he wont change that formation before the game.

[Keyser Soze]

What makes you think he wont change that formation before the game.
:mellow: Because he posted it in the thread, is that allowed?

[Rangers_Fureva]

I doubt he'll change it, not sure if it's allowed though. But even without Henry his strikeforce is still one of the most lethal in the fl.

[Preki-USA]

i don't see any reason why you can't change it right before the deadline

a bit of gamesmanship if you ask me,

just pointing it out to spark a little fantasy league convo

[Highway Penguin]

There are no rules against changing your formation as you wish. :)

[Yossi]

If you have any sense, it is probably best to rest 2 of your strongest 11 in each game. So maybe that's what he's doing.

EDIT: I probably shouldn't be giving advice out like that. Oh well.

[Keyser Soze]

i don't see any reason why you can't change it right before the deadline

True true.

Spices up the Fantasy League a bit I suppose. :)

We should get an idea of the specific time the games will be posted, so we'll know when's the latest we could change formations.

I'll do it. He asked me to do it, I just forgot.

He is on tour or something like that.

Yep Roonie.......GOOD LUCK to all managers in this new season!

Good Luck to all aswell! :)

I posted my formation on time, 1-0 for me. Yay!

[Ronaldo 9]

Yeah good luck to you guyz

Division One managers - Hope you all have a good season lads.

Division Two managers - I hope I beat you all, but good luck all the same :)

[Preki-USA]

Division Two managers - I hope I beat you all, but good luck all the same :)


haha :)

well I wish all the D2 managers a season of misery and dispare, if we ever have a Division 3 i hope you all get relegated to it.

[Yossi]

I hope that D2 managers beat anyone near me in the table. If not, die.

[Preki-USA]

jeez, i was only hoping they had a bad season now yossi goes and wants us to go and die...its getting personal

[Scarface]

Not long till kick-off now, good luck everyone (in D2 and myself), hope we have an exciting opening week with lots of votes :cool:

[Rangers_Fureva]

I hope that D2 managers beat anyone near me in the table. If not, die.

:mellow: Screw that, i hope you finish last:tongue:Nah mate only joking, Good Luck

D1 teams - All the best, i hope to see you their next season.:cool:

D2 teams - Let's rock 'n' roll, good luck.

[Barry]

G'luck everyone really. Say, is it possible to poison the opposite players or bribe the ref? Say if things dont work out the way I plan?

*nasty grin appears*

[Preki-USA]

bribe the ref!

now that would be realistic

[Barry]

bribe the ref!

now that would be realistic

Thats the idea :tongue:

Everybody: may your season be filled with rare player diseases, green grass allergies and sudden player strikes :mellow:

[Scarface]

Just a quick recap for those who don't know/can't remember, the votes to goal ratio is as follows:

0-4 = 0 goals
5-8 = 1 goal
9-12 = 2 goals
13-16 = 3 goals
17-20 = 4 goals

[Highway Penguin]

As if you knew... :happy:

Good luck to everyone and happy voting.

[Barry]

So.......can I still bribe the ref? :tongue:

[Highway Penguin]

Of course... :happy:

It doesn't make any difference to the final scoreline, 1-1. ;)

ahhhh, my bad, i thought every 4 votes mean a goal

[Scarface]

The next matches are going up tomorrow, so make sure to update your team lineup in D1/D2 formations if you want to make some changes.

[Yossi]

Most importantly of all, Poffeman needs to post a line up.

[Hansel]

I will but I'm not to sure of what to do, just a simple line-up?

In the D2 Formations thread, post your team for your next match. Use mine as a guide if you wish, or if you have time you can do one like Preki or someone.

[Preki-USA]

yea but mine sucks, i can't get that pretty pitch like rangers has

[Barry]

Shite, I totally forgot about posting my formation :shocking:

Hmm, Ill have to be early for next fixture's formation,so I dont forget.

[Preki-USA]

in regards to reyesofpenguin, what are you two doing as far as voting for your team, two automatic votes is unfair

[Scarface]

in regards to reyesofpenguin, what are you two doing as far as voting for your team, two automatic votes is unfair

I voted for Rafa last week, costing RoP 2 points, so i'm not biased.

[Preki-USA]

ah, i shouldve checked, thanks for the verification sweetie, thats all i needed

[Highway Penguin]

Hey now, I said it's a draw. When that happens I just see who's doing worse and vote that way.

I also don't think it's two automatic votes. I'll be sure to vote the other way next week.

[Preki-USA]

real funny

[Scarface]

Hey now, I said it's a draw. When that happens I just see who's doing worse and vote that way.


Me too, I would've voted for Preki had he been trailing 4-0, but I understand Preki's concerns.

Btw, Victor, can you come on msn at the moment?

[Highway Penguin]

Same and sure.

Preki, I was only giving you shit. :)

[Hansel]

When you guys put up the games, how long does it take until the game is over?

[-Rafa-]

its about 2 or 3 days i think

[Scarface]

When you guys put up the games, how long does it take until the game is over?

48 hours from the moment it's posted.

[Preki-USA]

my game was 2-0 as muad voted for the wrong team

and james are you gonna do those fun write ups again?

[Scarface]

I counted Muad's vote, but that makes it 10-5, which is still 2-1.

I can't be bothered at the moment, I might do later if I can find the effort.

[Hansel]

This ReyesOfPenguin team, is it you Reyes and HP together?

[Scarface]

This ReyesOfPenguin team, is it you Reyes and HP together?

Yeah, it was Dundons' team, but he quit, so we're taking over for now and waiting for a suitable manager to come along and then hopefully they'll take it.

This' getting real scary man, if I didn't get a draw then it'll be five teams with perfect records and the other five with the opposite.

[Hansel]

Maybe this has been suggested before I don't know but here goes, I think all of this would be more fair if someone hosted the games instead, but the game would have to be a default optionfile except for the teams players and and team names etc...
Sure it would be alot of work but this thing is soo easy to cheat on..

Just a suggestion.. :blush:

[Preki-USA]

poffy how long have you been a manager?

things are great, i wouldn't worry about it man, has anyone cheated you?

[Hansel]

Well let me just say (I ain't saying any names) that when I wasn't a managar people on msn used to ask me to vote for em' all the time..;) :angry: :ohmy: :realmad:

[Preki-USA]

thats fucked up then, it becomes obvious over the season tho, and you will get caught and fined

[Hansel]

Good, I think we should only count the votes from the managers though..

[Preki-USA]

wrong again, there are plenty of great members that vote, it keeps us as part of the community, there is a rule that you need to have at least a certain number of posts to vote tho

[Hansel]

Oh, well how many?
And what if a bunch a' newbies decide to ruin the whole shit and spam up the whole poll?

EDIT: On second thought, the latter isn't going to happen.. :laugh:

[Barry]

Shit is fine this way. I lose some, others win some; a status quo :mellow:

[-Rafa-]

why do we want to change the system, its fine the way it is

Name em' and shame em'.

[Barry]

I was told by someone to vote once, but that was because cheating was involved, so I voted against the one who cheated.

Apparently.

[Scarface]

Maybe this has been suggested before I don't know but here goes, I think all of this would be more fair if someone hosted the games instead, but the game would have to be a default optionfile except for the teams players and and team names etc...

Just a suggestion.. :blush:

Poffeman, if you don't like the Fantasy League, why were you so eager to join? This is based on real life and our own opinions of players, not how Konami decide to rate players. You knew how this worked, if you want to go create some PES5 simulator with little or no interaction whatsoever from managers, in a format which could open up a greater chance of cheating, then do so, but we've been doing it this way for long enough and with enough entertainment to not think about changing now.

[Hansel]

I do like it it was just a suggestion...

[Keyser Soze]

Everythings running smoothly, why would we want to change anything? :mellow:

[Barry]

Because I keep losing?

:tongue:

Nah, kidding. The sytem is well thought out as it is.

[Hansel]

Yes enough about the changing now, I suggested it, it was denied, now it's over.

[Keyser Soze]

Because I keep losing?

:tongue:

Nah, kidding. The sytem is well thought out as it is.
Haha, you'll get back to winning ways with a few minor changes, don't worry. ;)

JUST REMEMBER TO UPDATE YOUR FORMATION!!!

Anyone good with Microsoft Excel? I'm sure there would be a way of presenting the Squad rotation stats nice and clearly using that.

[Highway Penguin]

Good idea.

I've got it, but I don't ever use it. Couldn't be that hard though...
I'll check it out over the weekend or something, as I haven't got the time right now.

[Scarface]

I use it quite a lot at work, so tomorrow i'll check the database and try and figure the best way of doing it.

It could work as a tally and have a total that automatically updates each time you update the table, so we can easily see how many appearances each player has made.

[Highway Penguin]

Sounds good. Though I'm quite content with how we are doing it now, so it's not a huge priority, unless you can find the time tomorrow don't worry about it.

We should look into it though. :)

yea i was looking into a way to do that, then you could take a screen shot i guess, i don't know how you'd put it in so it would be viewable, unless you put it on the site to upload, which would be a pain

[-Rafa-]

i'm ok at using excel, but i don't got much time atm

[Scarface]

We could have it as an attachment and post it as a thumbnail (when clicked it enlarges to proper size). I was thinking of starting to post the League table using Excel so it's nicely presented. They should also be small enough to take screenshots.

[Figо10]

Sorry guys but I've been really busy at junior college at the moment and just came down with a fever, could someone help me do the squad rotation updating for the time being?

Edit: Thanks James for doing the first two matches.

[Keyser Soze]

Not many voters so far this week.

Come on, where are you? Lets be 'aving you! :tongue:

[Highway Penguin]

I'm sure it'll hit big tomorrow. At least I hope so.

[Scarface]

I'm sure it'll hit big tomorrow. At least I hope so.

Unfortunately not. This has been a pathetic out-turn, just over 24 hours left and several games are still 0-0 :mellow: Maybe the managers who take the time to vote often should be rewarded, and then I wonder if we'd see an improvement by other managers in terms of voting. It's not as if it takes more than 5 minutes. :erm:

[Phatmann]

I haven't voted in any matches yet, so I'll do so now ;)

[Highway Penguin]

Not too happy about this. If we didn't get many votes yesterday or today, it's unlikely we'll get many more in the coming hours.

-We'll talk about some sort of reward system on MSN later today. I'm off to a VW show. :happy:

I try to vote on every game, but I ain't really so good at commenting on their formations and stuff, so my posts will be short...

Sorry..

Im on a typing frenzy! Well I was, now my fingers hurt and bleed and I have to change my plasters.

[Scarface]

Sorry..

You don't have to comment in all the matches, although it's very appreciated if you do, but if you don't want to or don't have the time to comment, just voting in all the matches is fine and appreciated. Little comments saying that Team A's attack is stronger than Team B's is better than nothing.

[Barry]

You could just go like this too:

Midfield: Team X grabs it here because of....etc.

[Hansel]

Yeah I'll try to do that. :)

[Keyser Soze]

I've voted on half, just come back from football so I'll finish off.

[Highway Penguin]

Volkswagen? :shocking:

Yes sir. ;)

My dad and I are restoring a '64. Here's a picture of it:

I'll post more later if you'd like. :tongue:

[Scarface]

Nice pussy. Is it yours?

[Guillermo]

Post me a picture of the man that is Victor. And your famous pussy.

[Hansel]

Victor, make it a thumbnail next time I beg you...
Have you guys noticed that mattythewhite and dragonfly have been very active in the FL? I think they could get a team, colt's and top guns are availible right?

[Highway Penguin]

Yikes, I didn't realize it got so big. My bad guys.

That's my baby. We're putting primer on the doors and fenders tomorrow then the whole body next weekend.

Back on topic.
Poffe, yeah, I've noticed that. I'll keep watching them and maybe in the spring transfer window they'll pick up a squad. Thanks for bringing it to our attention though. :)

[Barry]

I think I voted on most, and commented on a fair few as well. Ill try to get on the ones I havent voted on yet.

Plasters changed, fingers rested, new keyboard; ready to go.

[Preki-USA]

yeah very busy with a soccer tourney this weekend guys so i just got around to voting in the matches, i commented in a few, just a bit busy getting my work done for tomorrow after being gone all weekend

looks like the vote totals did turn around...

victor my dad restored a GTO a few years back, the things was amazing, if i can find some picks ill post em up

[Scarface]

The first round of WCL Cup games will be played tomorrow night, so if you haven't submitted your formation yet, there's not long left.

[martin_cranie]

Ok guys, here is a table I made in Excel. It's still a bit rough, but I think it's a lot better looking than previous incarnations. I'm working on a better looking version at the moment.

What do you think?

[Nedy]

Yeah looks great martin......great work there......

[-Rafa-]

that is class, martin

well done great work

[Preki-USA]

I think this would be a Draw, therefore with RoP losing I voted for the team.



why do people vote like this?
aren't you supposed to vote for who you think will win?
the score always changes sooo much that when the votes are final your vote doesn't count like you think...

two people voted against me b/c they wanted a tie in the match against barry, i ended up losing by 4, those two votes going my way wouldve caused a tie

i guess i don't get the rules

[Keyser Soze]

I know what you mean, but if we didn't do this there would be no upsets, making the league a lot more predictable and a loss less fun(imo).

[Hunter]

From now on I won't vote in matches which I deem to hard to call. Fair enough.

PS: By me voting to equal the score, doesn't it make it more likely the outcome will be a Draw ? Think about what you say.

[Preki-USA]

yea i certainly wasnt calling you out, i don't think its fair thats all...

what if the next person votes for RoP for a draw, and then 2 more come along and think RoP will win

then RoP is up by 4, so its not that predictable


I know what you mean, but if we didn't do this there would be no upsets, making the league a lot more predictable and a loss less fun(imo).


D2 is close enough as it is, we don't need excitement

[Keyser Soze]

D2 is close enough as it is, we don't need excitement

Some people take this league too seriously, especially since its only meant to be a bit of fun.

[Preki-USA]

are you fucking kidding me Mat, im just having a discussion here, i didn't realize that wasn't allowed

things that are fun should still be fair, im just questioning the fairness of something

if this kind of discussion is ruining your fun I don't know what to tell you, you've obviously never read one of Muad's posts

[Rangers_Fureva]

Some people take this league too seriously, especially since its only meant to be a bit of fun. :angry:

What Maty boy said. No need to get in a hissy fit over votes, at the end of the day it's the voters choice, he votes how he wants to, he shouldn't be persuaded in anyway.

[Preki-USA]

so im going to vote against mat from now on b/c he didn't like what i said

[Rangers_Fureva]

so im going to vote against mat from now on b/c he didn't like what i said

That's your choice.

[Preki-USA]

the game is your supposed to vote for who you think will win, not vote however the wind blows, thats the premise this whole idea is built on

[Hunter]

yea i certainly wasnt calling you out, i don't think its fair thats all...

what if the next person votes for RoP for a draw, and then 2 more come along and think RoP will win

D2 is close enough as it is, we don't need excitement

You may not have been calling me out but your still acting silly. The next person who thinks it will be a Draw clearly won't vote as its already tied. Then the next 2 people will vote for RoP as they think it will be a win so thats that.

And to take this FL too seriously is pathetic I'm afraid. Take it serious 'enough' yes but don't go over board with it, have fun and try not to take a strop over other peoples opinions.

So im going to vote against mat from now on b/c he didn't like what i said

One word: Pathetic.

[Keyser Soze]

the game is your supposed to vote for who you think will win, not vote however the wind blows, thats the premise this whole idea is built on
Yes, and if you think it is a draw and player A is leading by 3 votes or so, I don't see why you shouldn't vote for player B to make it a draw. So going by you're logic if we think its a draw we shouldn't vote. Ok... lets look forward to the boring 0-0's and 1-0's then.

EDIT: Agreed, Hunter.

[Preki-USA]

fuck off i clearly wasn't being serious, i was making a point, i don't know how starting a discussion on a certain subject in the match discussion thread is taking this too seriously

just b/c you don't want to be wrong doesn't mean you need to squash my idea, its no gonna die until everyone has a say on it, then when its all said and done and my idea isn't in favor i won't cause a big deal, i just want to my opinion heard, if you can't handle it block my account

[Hunter]

So now your not being serious ?

You may have been making a point, but it was clearly a silly one, obviously if a team is trailing and you think they deserve a Draw you will vote for them. It is common sense, and more in the interest of fairness.

Its not about being right or wrong, its about matter of opinions which you seem to be having problems accepting at this moment. What idea is this ? Nobody vote if they think its too hard to call ?

PS: How do you block accounts ?

[Rangers_Fureva]

PS: How do you block accounts ?

Add them to your ignore list.

the idea is wait until the end if you wanna make the match a tie...because voting for a tie early on could wind up making a team win...does that make sense to you?

[Hunter]

the idea is wait until the end if you wanna make the match a tie...because voting for a tie early on could wind up making a team win...does that make sense to you?

It does now yes, thank you for explaining it nicely.

But often I forget when matches finish and I'm probably not the only one, and I'm not going to put myself through un-needed effort to try and remember the time that it finishes. So in turn, I will vote at the time I see fit and for who I see fit.

[Preki-USA]

i explained it nicely the first too times until i got jumped by a gang of disagreers

explain to me how that isn't nice?

[Keyser Soze]

I didn't say it wasn't nice, but you didn't explain it.

[Highway Penguin]

@Rich, brilliant work. Looks great, if you could give me a quick lesson in Excel that'd be great, unless you are willing/interested in doing it. :) We'll talk about it later.

As I've learned in the past, it's no good forming grudges in the FL. Take a walk around the block or go kick the ball around and you'll realize how silly arguing with each other is about the league. :)

[Preki-USA]

so ur not gonna comment on the issue...i just went to dinner, and studied, and watched everybody loves raymond and i still wanna discuss this...

[martin_cranie]

@Victor:

I'm happy to do the tables full time if you and James are cool with it. Me and my flatmate are currently trying to create a macro that will enable the tables to pretty much auto-update, but it'll take a little while. If that doesn't work then i'll just make it look pretty and fill it out by hand/simple formulae. She (flatmate) does computer science so there's a good chance we can get it nailed. Of course when I say we, what I mean is she'll do the hard work while I work out a colour scheme :laugh:

I have a big assignment due in on monday so that may push things back a few days, but hopefully we'll have a fancier BETA version ready for next weekends games.

[Hansel]

Sounds good. :cool:

No rush bro. Do it when you get a chance. Give a big thanks to you're girl too. ;)

Preki,
This is the way it's worked and it helps you sometimes and hurts you others. Kind of like a bad ref, they can help you a lot in a game or hurt you. Semi-Ok analogy. I think I spelt that right.. meh whatever. :unsure:

[Preki-USA]

yea i had a bad day, i was quick to throw the F bombs around

i hope hunter and everyone else can find it in their sweet little hearts to forgive me

@marty
way to be, we'll all be proud to have u in the FL if you can pull that off

[Hansel]

What did you do? :unsure:


PS. I love you. :wub:

Its alright man, was more of a debate than an argument. Nothing wrong with some suggestions, but as you said the "f" word was a bit over-used. Its all good though, done and dusted.

PS: Martin, thanks a lot. This will help make the FL look more official if that is the right word to use.

[Hansel]

Rafa, here I found your sense of humour, use it.

[-Rafa-]

getting a bit to witty for your own good sonny....

know your role

anyway, i was just joking

[Hansel]

Me too...

[-Rafa-]

i know you were, but you replyed sourly

[Usul]

I meant to vote in the WCL matches but i left it until the very end and something came up today so i completely forgot about it. I've never missed the polls before. :(

[Keyser Soze]

yea i had a bad day, i was quick to throw the F bombs around

i hope hunter and everyone else can find it in their sweet little hearts to forgive me

Bit late and I don't know if it was directed at me, but no grudges held.

As Hunter said, it's done and dusted.

[Highway Penguin]

@Muad, meh, no worries. Haha. :happy:

Games this Saturday again, so make sure your formations are ready. ;)
Next Tuesday there are Division cups.

[Yossi]

How is it that some games have only 9 votes, whereas some have 17? That makes no sense whatsoever, I don't know why so many people vote in one particular game but not others.

[Phatmann]

How is it that some games have only 9 votes, whereas some have 17? That makes no sense whatsoever, I don't know why so many people vote in one particular game but not others.
Maybe in some games people feel that the match is too close to call so abstain from voting.

[Yossi]

Yeah, but half the games?

[Phatmann]

Well, I dunno, cos I voted in all the games this week. Maybe people just can't be bothered to vote in all of them, and just vote in the first 5 or so which are there?

[Nedy]

Look Poffe vs RoF......18 votes!! Incredible......but if you look the others D2 matches, anyone pass the 12/13 votes.....

[Charlie: 9]

Im getting hammered 10-2 at the minute, a disapointing debut. Ah well.

[-Rafa-]

don't worry mate, just hang in there charlie

i hope thats just 10 votes to 2

[Highway Penguin]

Im getting hammered 10-2 at the minute, a disapointing debut. Ah well.

No worries bro. I had a hell of a time even getting a goal for that team when I was caretaker. :shocking:

Just make due and in the transfer window beef up your subs and what not. Good luck though. ;)

[Preki-USA]

yea they were my pick for relegation, along with someone else, but I wont say who :ninja:

[Scarface]

Im getting hammered 10-2 at the minute, a disapointing debut. Ah well.

You're playing almost a B team, while Figo is playing arguably his strongest XI, so you shouldn't be too disheartened. Once you put out your strongest XI, i'm sure it'll be a very different story.

[-Rafa-]

what james said

[Hansel]

:mellow:


Anyways, the rest of us are going to play the cup games on tuesday right?

PS. James, your avatar sucks.:tongue: :w00t



Just messin' amigo, it's cool, but what's it from, a TV show?

[Highway Penguin]

Yeah, you are. Both divisions.

[Scarface]

:mellow:

What?

Sorry Charlie but I didn't wanted to use that formation actually, didn't remember the match was starting then so I'd forgotten to update my formation for it.

It's the scoreline that matters, tied at 13 all now anyway, and there's 24 hours left.

3-3, possibly the highest scoring game ever.

[Hansel]

I remember some people saying that Zidan couldn't score up on his own, haha.
Hat-trick. :tongue:

Whoa, just finished voting. Lots of good games this weekend. Thanks to anyone who took the time to vote too.

I agree, this week has been astonishing for votes. Extremely popular, imagine if its like this every week from now on. Would be excellent. :w00t
