Match Discussion

[Nedy]

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

Yeah really dude....

[Scarface]

D1/2 Cup games will be taking place on Tuesday, check the Fantasy League 05/06 Schedule to see if you have a match, and update your team lineup in the WCL/D1/D2 Formations thread if you wish to do so.

[Hunter]

What a week in FL. Figo, James and myself all reach that whopping 5 goals, of course I go down in the record as mine was first. cough cough. ;)

Congratulations.

[Scarface]

Week 4 Results

Division 1
The G 0-5 Reyes
Figo 5-1 Charlie
Nikos 3-3 Phat
HP 1-5 Hunter
Ronaldo 3-3 Muad

Division 2
Martin 3-2 Yossi
RoP 4-3 Poffe
David P 2-3 Preki
Barry 2-3 Rangers
Rafa 1-4 Nedy


Without doubt the craziest week in the history of the FL. 56 goals in 10 games.

I'll update the tables in the next hour or so.

[Hansel]

Damn I lost, but jebus there were 33 votes in my game. :ohmy:

[Barry]

I lost? :mellow:

Its the "picnic stool" isnt it? :tongue:

[martin_cranie]

I'll have a new looking table ready for this wednesday at the latest. I'll extend it to cover both divisions and also the cups too.

[Yossi]

Its the "picnic stool" isnt it? :tongue:
The picnic stool is tremendous, no blame can be attached to that.

And after winning my first two games, I'm now without a win in three in all competitions. Squad rotation is doing it's job it seems.

[Nedy]

Wow, amazing votes this week!!! I am very impress with RoP vs Poffe.....4-3!! Incredible......

[Highway Penguin]

Division Cup matches up.

[Barry]

Probably another disaster on my part.....Ill get voting right away ;) :D

[Charlie: 9]

Figo 5-1 Charlie


I got hammered 5-1! But well played Figo, taught me a lesson ;)

[Preki-USA]

yeah u'll be able to turn it around i wouldn't worry about man, just keep it up

[Yossi]

An idea.

Tons of people vote to even the game up. A lot of the while, the team who gets the vote goes on to get more votes than the opponent.

So, people who should vote that way should wait until near the end of the poll before voting, as opposed to saying after an hour or two, "I'm voting for him because he's losing 4-1" or something.

[Preki-USA]

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?


where the fuck were you yossi when i proposed that this idea, i was ripped to shreds by the other guys...haha, i cant believe this :)

[Yossi]

I remember the argument, but I never actually knew what it was what caused them to all go off on one at you.

[Preki-USA]

haha its alright man, i agree with you tho, for the record

[Keyser Soze]

Just had a thought; maybe we should make it compulsary for managers to vote every week. Maybe not every week but if we say some managers not voting week in week out (I could name a few right now) then they could be punished or deducted a vote in they're games, after getting a warning? It's just an idea, as last week we had 5-0's and 5-1's, where-as this week I can't see many scoring much more than one or two.

It's alright, I think they'll get their just rewards sooner or later. Can't see them continuing to get votes if they don't put the effort in.

[Preki-USA]

yep another good idea, this is an ever evolving league so suggestions are welcomed, i still think we need to think of a way to decide who scores the goals :)

[Scarface]

We could judge it on the comments the players receive. For example Luca Toni usually gets a lot of positive comments, so if you score 2, he could be named as the scorer of 1 or 2 of them. Something like that, can't think of anything better at the moment.

[Rangers_Fureva]

Pick random players out a hat?:laugh:

[Scarface]

Great work on the tables, Rich. I'll edit them into the Results/Tables thread in a bit.

[Charlie: 9]

8-7 to The G in our match so far, its a damn sight better than my first game, where I got hammered. Buts its good that this game is close as it could go either way, unlike the landslide defeat in my first game in charge.

not bad there, theres gotta be some way we could do it w/ a number randomizer or something, it just gets really complicated.

It's certainly a very well laid out team that you're fielding so that bodes well for your future games. I think with a few signings in the mid season window, you can make up for the bad start to the season without too much trouble.

@James
No problem mate, I'll have the cup tables done by Friday hopefully.

[Scarface]

Sounds good, Rich. I won't bother doing the tables tonight then.

You were unlucky, Charlie mate. Good game.

[Yossi]

He was unlucky!? I've now been one vote short of the next goal in each of my last four games! :realmad: And they all cost me points!

[Highway Penguin]

That is quite unlucky Owen.

-I'll have the fixtures for next week and the week after up in the next couple days.

[Preki-USA]

ur pick on maniacs victor

[Nedy]

I was unlucky! I was won 8-6 and Dave get three votes and won the match
2-1.....incredible.....but doesnt matter.....I lost vs a great team......

[Charlie: 9]

I lost vs a great team......

For the 2nd game in a row, I have too.

[Barry]

Someone is after you, it must be a conspiracy :unsure:

'T is strange though, four games in a row.

[nikos24]

Ah, I went to Muad's territory and came out with a draw, hell lot better than defeat. I'm happy with it, good game mon ami Muad, ;)

[Figо10]

For the 2nd game in a row, I have too.
You weren't very far from a draw though, don't be discouraged :)

[Scarface]

Week 5 of the League commences tomorrow, so remember to update your team in the Formations thread if you want to make any changes.

From next week, players who have played 6 consecutive games will be suspended for a match.

I've just noticed in the squad rotation thread some teams have not been updated. How come?

[Scarface]

I couldn't be bothered to do them all again this week, it's not supposed to be my responsibility.

[Rangers_Fureva]

I couldn't be bothered to do them all again this week, it's not supposed to be my responsibility.

Was it not Preki who was to take care of that?
If he's not bothered with it i'll take over doing the D2 teams.

[Preki-USA]

week 4 needs to be done right?


Edit: how bout everyone does there own?

[Preki-USA]

Alright, Nikos' roster is not up to date, he played raul in his past game but he isn't on the roster, i propose a fine

[nikos24]

Not up to date? I'm usually ahead most of the managers when updating my matchdays. Raul is not even near his limits. Fine for? :mellow:

[Scarface]

Raul is on the roster, he's listed as Raul Gonzales Blanco and as a midfielder, not a forward.

Thanks for updating the thread, Preki, i'll try to finish the job later if I have time.

[Preki-USA]

haha, don't confuse me with that real name shit then :)

[Keyser Soze]

I've done all my voting for tonight, lets hope the majority (if not all) do the same. :)

[Usul]

Why do people keep making defender vs. defender comparisons? Or striker vs. striker? They should be thinking of how would a defense cope with the oppositions strikers and support, not their defenders. For example, I could have defenders inferior to my rivals' but that would have no bearing on how well they would perform against his pitiful strikers.

The only comparison that could be made is with midfielders or maybe even fullbacks but i don't see how comparing strikers or centre backs is logical.

Yeah, I agree.

[Charlie: 9]

I do that. I just try to compare everything from the both teams and then decide my winner. I do see how Muads way of making a decision is better too, is does make more sense.

[Scarface]

WCL Cup games posted. Victor, I know you said you'd do them, but as they hadn't been posted yet, I did them myself in the hope that they'll get more votes if they're up post Barca-Chelsea when there'll be a lot of members online.

[Hansel]

I thought I was going to play DavidP today... :unsure:

[Highway Penguin]

@James, no worries. I should've told you I wouldn't be getting home till now. That's that I suppose. ;)

@Poffe, nope you are to play me.

[Scarface]

I thought I was going to play DavidP today... :unsure:

The fixtures are always in the Fantasy League 2005/2006 schedule thread, if you're ever unsure, check that thread, it's what it's there for. I also posted the list of Cup matches yesterday in match discussion.

[Yossi]

That thread is a little confusing though, too much stuff in there I reckon.

[Scarface]

It always has the next fixtures in bold and in red, so it shouldn't be too hard to see once you've scrolled down.

[-Rafa-]

And i've got another bye :crymore:

[Yossi]

True, but it can get harder if you're looking to see who you've got next week or the week after.

Or the week after that :tongue:

I've had that before, just keep trying or try clicking off then coming back to it.

[martin_cranie]

Cheers for the tip G.

I keep on getting this error message saying: The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 1 characters.

And instead of remaining on the same page after pressing edit, i.e. still able to scroll up and down to view the other formations, i'm on a completely different page.

Still no luck, but i'll keep trying.

EDIT: Just in case I can't get it to work, i'm posting my intended formation in my team thread.

[Charlie: 9]

I kept getting that earlier aswell, Martin. I wanted to post a news bit in the Rangers thread but it wouldnt letme so I had to just post the link to the news bit.

[martin_cranie]

This is ridiculous, I can't even post it in a NEW post in my team thread. Maybe the text is ballsed up or something... meh, like that's possible.

EDIT: When I strip all the unnecessary text away it lets me do it. 0_o

[Keyser Soze]

This is ridiculous, I can't even post it in a NEW post in my team thread. Maybe the text is ballsed up or something... meh, like that's possible.
Send it to me via PM or MSN and I'll post it up if you like, for the time-being anyway.

[Scarface]

I've never had that problem before when editing posts :unsure: I've edited your formation into the D2 formations thread.

Is it league games this weekend or are we following the schedule and playing cup games?

It's supposed to be a Cup weekend. Still says that in the Schedule thread, so I assume that's what we are doing.

[martin_cranie]

Cheers James :)

[Highway Penguin]

Cup weekend? League games are only held on the weekends, cups are on Tuesdays....:erm:

[Scarface]

Cup weekend? League games are only held on the weekends, cups are on Tuesdays....:erm:

There are too many cup games for that to work.

[Highway Penguin]

When was that worked out?

[Scarface]

When I spent hours doing the Fantasy League Schedule 2005/06 thread a month or two ago, and told you about it after.

4 WCL Group Game
4 D1/D2 Cup Game

1 Set of WCL Quarter Finals

1 set of WCL Semi Finals
2 leg D1/D2 Cup Semi Final Games

1 WCL 3rd Place Playoff
1 D1/2 Cup 3rd Place Playoff

1 WCL Final
1 D1/D2 Final

It's also unhealthy to have so many cup games midweek, they are becoming less and less active, and I can understand why. After posting in the threads all throughout the weekend, it can become a bore a couple of days after it aswell.

[Figо10]

There 9 league matchdays and 10 cup matchdays in the first half, so is it possible we shift some group games over to the second half of the season?

The league weekends will be able to continue normally then.

[Scarface]

We'd then be in a rush to fit the rest of the Cup games schedule into it.

[Figо10]

There'll be 6 cup matchdays in the second half so it should fit nicely between the league matchdays if we were to bring one or two cup or the 10 matchdays across.

[Scarface]

There's a lot more than 6 Cup matchdays scheduled for the 2nd part of the season already (see the cup information I posted a couple of posts up), so I don't think adding even more Cup games onto the second part of the season is a good idea. You've also got to take into account possible penalty shootouts which took an extra week to do last season.

[Figо10]

The third-place playoffs could be done together, and the finals done together couldn't they?

We could start the resumption of this season with cup games too.

[Highway Penguin]

Ok. I don't remember that, but sounds good.

[Scarface]

It's better to have them as separate midweek games since they are completely different competitions and have a considerable bearing on prize winnings. It just shows that we are trying to cram everything in.

I feel it would be more beneficial for us in terms of both enjoyment and activity, to not have so many midweek games and have some Cup games over the weekend.

I think the second half of the season is already scheduled to start with Cup games.

[Highway Penguin]

I'm posting the matches now.

[Nedy]

I dont understand why we play the Cup today and now the League like every week......

[Highway Penguin]

The season isn't long enough to do it the other way, apparently.

:)

[Nedy]

Oh ok......

The next league games are on Saturday,

[Figо10]

No matches in midweek? Perhaps we could try playing a cup game then?

[nikos24]

Good idea. To keep us occupied. But ofcourse, we don't want James or Vic to avoid their schedules, so we can make this, if possible.

[Figо10]

I remember there was mention that there were too many cup games for weekdays, so why shouldn't we have one now :)

[Scarface]

Games are up. On several occasions, managers (myself included) have voted and then said they voted for the wrong one, from now on, the vote from Fantasy League Managers will not be changed, as people are looking at the polls seeing what the score is, and their vote is dependant on that, so try to make sure you all vote correctly.

[Rasheed Sharq]

Games up? Lovely.

[Scarface]

Some agonisingly tight games this week.

Nice work, Preki. ;) It's appreciated.

[Scarface]

Thanks for the squad rotation templates, Rich. I'm transferring all the updated D1 stats to those. Once completed, do you print screen them all and then save them?

[martin_cranie]

When they're done I:

- Highlight the whole table, copy and paste it into Paint.Net
- Shrink the canvas size to about 300w 500h (This fits one squad rotation table well).
- Touch up any lines/borders that are missing. (There's always some, usually down the left hand side as you look at it)
- Then colour the background to match Insight, the colour code on Paint.Net is DFDFDF, and then save it.
- Then I imageshack the saved image.

If you want to just email the lists back to me, then I'll do the presentation stuff and PM you the results.

[Scarface]

That sounds far too complicated for my delicate little brain ;)

I think i'll just stick to print screening them, like I have for Charlie9's team http://www.pesinsight.com/showpost.php?p=577361&postcount=2

[martin_cranie]

Looks good mate, I think you've chosen the right path ;)

[Scarface]

Looks good mate, I think you've chosen the right path ;)

Cheers. Could you send me the League table template when you get the chance please?

A few D1 managers (off the top of my head - Figo, Muad, Hunter, myself and perhaps 1 or 2 others) have players suspended for the next League match, so be sure to check the Squad rotation thread and make the necessary changes to your lineup.

[Rasheed Sharq]

That's a very good job Reyes. It looks much more organized now.

What else? Good game Barry, Charlie I have noticed is on a great run and good to see that Cup games are to be held once again soon.

[Figо10]

Cheers. Could you send me the League table template when you get the chance please?

A few D1 managers (off the top of my head - Figo, Muad, Hunter, myself and perhaps 1 or 2 others) have players suspended for the next League match, so be sure to check the Squad rotation thread and make the necessary changes to your lineup.
Del Horno, Ferdinand, Lampard, Robben, Ronaldo, Shevchenko :mellow:

[martin_cranie]

Cheers. Could you send me the League table template when you get the chance please?

Not trying to kick me out of a job are you? :( :laugh:

Yeah, i'll email them to you now mate.

[Preki-USA]

every from D2 please check the squad rotation thread :)

[Scarface]

That's a very good job Reyes. It looks much more organized now.


No worries mate, glad it's appreciated. I've now updated your squad rotation stats using the template. I'll probably start using the template for all D1 teams after the next round of League matches, I think Preki is doing the same for D2. Martin Cranie is to thank for creating the template.

Thanks for the league tables, Rich. Love the new colour scheme :cool:

[martin_cranie]

Thanks for the league tables, Rich. Love the new colour scheme :cool:

Cheers mate, I figured the turqoise was pretty rank and there was too much white. Not any more though :)

[Barry]

Due to private reasons, I might be unable to give comments for all matches, but I will try to vote on as much matches as possible.

My head is somewhere else, sorry.

[Scarface]

No worries.

This reminds me, due to the matchday 3 and 4 fixtures for the D1 and 2 cup not being posted, we will have the WCL Cup this weekend instead. You can see the changes in the 05/06 schedule thread.

[Keyser Soze]

So there's no League games tommorow?

[martin_cranie]

No mate, just WCL fixture 3.

[Nedy]

Nop I think :(

[Keyser Soze]

Ok, cool. Thanks.

[Rasheed Sharq]

When you want to vote for a draw, is there a way to do so during games? I've seen some voters say I'll vote for a draw, how exactly do I do that? I'd need to some of those after all the close games I've voted in. Sometimes, I want to vote for a draw but don't know how, so I just do the hard analysis and vote for someone. Is it waiting till the end? And how long does a game stay on for?

It's usually by voting for the team that is trailing. Same as if I feel the score would be 2-1 to a certain team, I might vote for the team that I feel would lose to help them score a goal and to make the result more realistic. The polls are open for 48 hours, at the top of the poll it tells you the exact time the poll will close.

[martin_cranie]

The only way of voting for a draw is to vote for the team with less votes. Doing this will help to even up the votes/scores. If you have the time, it's best to do this late on, quite close to when the poll closes, so you get a better idea of how the games are shaping up.

EDIT: Too late, James gets it.

Ah, now I know what the meaning of the times on top of the poll are. Thanks for that, I'll be using this method for those close games (I'm sure of that) that will be coming in the next few weeks. ;)

[-Rafa-]

Bah, another loss for me, while on the bloody transfer window

[martin_cranie]

I'd like to apologise to everyone for my poor voting turn out this weekend. I think I only voted in two games, and not even my own team was among them. I'm not going to make excuses, i'd just like to assure you all that it won't happen again.

Martin you dont have nothin to worry about. IMO you give the best comments everyweek when voting.

[nikos24]

Martin you dont have nothin to worry about. IMO you give the best comments everyweek when voting.

True, one of the finest voters around. Love your posting, no need to worry. ;)

[martin_cranie]

Thank you for your comments guys, glad you aren't too mad with me. Like I say, i'll be back on track next time around.

[Preki-USA]

martin i can't believe you!

:)

[Scarface]

Right, it's about time this is mentioned. A member named Edgar Davids hasn't posted for 2 years, yet conveniently manages to come online and vote whenever matches are up, and seemingly always votes for the same group of people, rather suspicious to say the least.

[Keyser Soze]

It's not me.... :ninja::erm:

[Scarface]

It might not be any Fantasy League manager, but if members with less than 10 posts votes shouldn't count, then surely a member who hasn't posted in 2 years, yet always manages to log-on and vote when Fantasy League matches are up, needs to be looked into.

[martin_cranie]

martin i can't believe you!

:)

I guess it worked out quite nicely for you mate. :laugh:

Next time your ass is mine.

[Hunter]

I've seen that too James, it really is a strange affair. Its probably best to get the account of Edgar Davids IP checked by Hitman or an alternative Admin. Because I think there is more than one or two have noticed this but have failed to say anything for one reason or another. Maybe seeing what pans out the next few weeks etc and myabe forgot about it.

PS: Don't even worry about it Martin, I have been off the boil with voting lately. I've just got my mind on other things at the moment unfortunately, but I plan you get back on track too.

[Rangers_Fureva]

Right, it's about time this is mentioned. A member named Edgar Davids hasn't posted for 2 years, yet conveniently manages to come online and vote whenever matches are up, and seemingly always votes for the same group of people, rather suspicious to say the least.

Wonder who it could be.:erm:

Get one of the admins to check the ip then. If it's any fl manager that has created another account just for voting in matches, then that will be damnright sad and disgracefull. Until then though.:unsure:

[Scarface]

Nah, they won't have created another account, mate. Davids registered in 2004, but hasn't posted since early 2004, around 25 or so months ago. It could be a FL manager's old account, although i'm hoping that's not the case. An IP check may not even be conclusive, as some IP's change each time you go online. Worth a try, though.

Even if it's not, they never come online at any other time. Can anyone actually remember seeing Edgar Davids in the currently online list? They come on for 5 minutes when the matches are posted to vote and then log-off, not exactly subtle. If they were that interested in the League, surely they'd have posted a message over the past 1 and a half seasons?

[nikos24]

Yeah, seen that too. I'm not hoping it's any one of us to be honest, but to take into account Davids has voted for me today, I can't be too suspicious. It's not me, hope this gets sorted out asap.

[Preki-USA]

he always seems to vote for me too :ninja:

[Usul]

I have noticed Davids in the past and comented to someone about him but we concluded that even though he has a low post count he has been registered longer than some of us here and there are many users out there that visit the site frequently and seldom post and in some cases never have, believe it or not.
Maybe he stumbled upon the league once and enjoys voting...

Ask someone to check his I.P anyway.

[Preki-USA]

i'd like to meet him if he is this mysetrious non-poster who just loves voting in the league, maybe he could give me some pointers for my team :laugh:

[Rasheed Sharq]

Who is this Edgar Davids? Muad's reply is good, maybe he just is a person who loves voting?

[Barry]

T'is suspicious yes, but I doubt it's an FL manager. The idea to check his IP is the best solution, I guess.

[Phatmann]

When looking at edgar davids' profile, he doesn't have a last activity bit, suggesting that he uses invisible mode, so therefore he could be online 24/7 for all we now :ninja:

[nikos24]

I'd be able to see him if he was. Being able to see people when they're hiding makes the £5 I spent a bargain. :D :erm:

I don't recall seeing him online much but i'll keep a look out for him. If I do catch him, i'll PM him and say hello.

Muad's made a very good point, so while I think we should proceed with an IP check as a precaution, I don't think we should start making presumptions about anything.

[Keyser Soze]

I suppose, but surely if he visits the Fantasy League section he'd see this, and should at least have the decency to clear it up for us.

[Scarface]

I suppose, but surely if he visits the Fantasy League section he'd see this, and should at least have the decency to clear it up for us.

Exactly. He had posted 72 times, if he liked the Fantasy League that match i'm sure he'd have posted a message in one of the many matches he has voted in. Call me a sceptic, but I don't buy into the possiblity that he loves voting so much, he always decides to log-on when Fantasy League matches are put up, just to get his dose of clicking on a button and seeing a score change. I've also noticed he always seems to vote once the polls are getting to a crucial stage, and/or when his vote would change a scoreline. It's almost as if he's called upon when needed. He might not be a Fantasy League manager, but he could be a friend or online buddy of one. Either way, I don't think his votes should count. Having less than 100 posts, and not posting since February 2004 is as bad, if not worse than having 9 posts since late 2005 in my opinion.

[Nedy]

Today we play D1/D2 Cup?

[Highway Penguin]

Yeah, I'll put them up real quick.

[Highway Penguin]

Argh, my internet is acting up, so I could only get D1 Cup games up, I've got an appointment in about 20 minutes, so I gotta go, but I'll post the other games when I get back.

Or you can do the other James.

[Usul]

Edgar Davids could be one of these people whose English isn't so good and could indeed be someone's friend. We can do a couple of investigative efforts to at least narrow this down. It'll be fun. :happy:

One, have his I.P checked.
Two, and this is the tedious bit, check all games in which he has voted, at least since this season started, and see which managers' votes coincide with his. I suspect we would get only a couple of names. This could be narrowed down even further by checking registration dates, meaning that if i and Figo, for instance, are the only ones that have always voted for the same teams Davids has then it would obviously be Figo because i hadn't even heard of insight before 2005. :tongue:
If on the other hand Davids is an acquaintance of someone here, we will never know but any coincidence might still point towards who David's friend might be.

It could also be someone from this site that has two accounts and enjoys sentencing games.

I think that he has almost always voted against me...:angry:

Just out of curiousity, who was it that picked Edgar Davids (player) when the league first started..?

[Charlie: 9]

Looking at my match against Ronnie two weeks ago, Davids voted for me aswell & there are a few more fella's about who are voting too, I might not know them but maybe you fellas do. Is he (Davids) going to have his IP checked or sometime?

I found this little exchange in the Press Room thread from 23-03-2005:

no , no one is gonna buy davids , im gonna choose davids in round 7 , maybe if everything goes to plan . i choose valdez cuz i realised that i didnt have a quality gk , so i was quite surprised that no one chose valdez , so i chose him first

I was thinking of playing a 4-3-3 formation with this midfield:

Davids - Ballack - Maniche

But it loos like now I have to look elsewhere :(

so you're gonna take edgar davids?

Nevermind, you can have him :)

Guess I'll have to look elsewhere then... :(


we all know who Pier is and that he had a falling out with several members.

EdgarDavids voted for the following people in the last WCL:
Charlie
Figo
Yossi
NIkos
Muad
HP
Preki
Reyes

(nothing all of the ordinary and in the most part he voted for the winner)

EdgarDavids voted for the following people in Matchday 6:
he didn't vote for anyone,

and i'd do more research but I'm dog-ass tired...if anyone wants to continue where i left off, go ahead, if not, ill get back to it tomorrow.

Edit: actually i did a little more research but i checked and he does seem to like to vote for Figo, like every time he votes in Figo's match...

[Charlie: 9]

We have our own Columbo here. Good sluthing, Prekster...

[Preki-USA]

I couldn't of gotten here without Muads direction, I think he was kind of hinting at it. But we can't conclude anything until we look through all the matches and I can't be bothered. But I can tell you that Figo and Pier were/may still be good buddies.

Let's not go all salem witch trial on Figo tho, give him a chance to defend himself before we start burning people at the stake

[-Rafa-]

I say just burn him for fun :)

[nikos24]

Damn, what an investigation!

[Barry]

Sherlock Preki in tense horror investigation; leaving Fantasy League members in shock!

I should be making movies :tongue:

[Charlie: 9]

What had happened that Pier fell out with some people ?

[Preki-USA]

I dont remember paticulars, i remember James hated him for something

[Keyser Soze]

Wasn't it because he got relegated and tried selling all of his players when he heard that there will be bids held for them?

[Preki-USA]

yeah and then james gave his team to someone else

[Charlie: 9]

Inspector Preki blows the case wide open...

[Preki-USA]

i don't know why if it is pier, he would just vote with his name...

[martin_cranie]

Is it just me or have the poll's for the following games closed:

Figo v Reyes
Charlie v Ronnie
Nikos v Phat

???

If the games have uneven voting time, then surely either the ones that are still open should be closed, or those that are currently closed should be opened again, right?

I am amazingly tired right now, but i'm pretty sure that i'm right about this, and so in the interests of fairness all polls should have equal lifetimes.

EDIT: Ignore me, i'm an exhausted idiot that's fudged up the voting times again.

[Charlie: 9]

Aye Ive noticed that Nikos/Phat aswell as my won games poll has been closed, Martin... I think the closing time for my game was half 11.

[martin_cranie]

Yeah, the gaps between the games were quite large. And the fact that they spread across two days confused the hell out of me. Not much of an excuse though, as I should've read the time as well as the date. Ooopsy.

[Highway Penguin]

Yeah, when I was posting the games I was having trouble with the internet, plus I had an appointment. All the games were open for the same amount of time, they just started and ended differently. :)

It won't happen again.

[martin_cranie]

No problem Vic. As I said, I should have looked closer.

[Charlie: 9]

Well done :happy:

Just keep trying, mate. It'll come. Took me 3 games before I started to get somewhere.

[martin_cranie]

Yeah Rafa, you've got a talented squad mate, just keep at it and do some good business in the transfer window and you'll pick up. As Charlie said when he first joined, the only way is up; and he's done very well since. ;)

[Scarface]

Urgent reminder to all Fantasy League managers that if you have any suspended players, they must not be in your lineups or on the subs bench. If this rule is broken, you face the possibility of points deductions and/or a fine. Looking through the D1/2 formations, I can see a couple of teams that are breaking the squad rotation rule at the moment, so I urge you to update them as soon as possible, as the League Matchday 7 fixtures will be up in the next 24 hours.

[Keyser Soze]

Yeah, I think points deduction is more suitable to be honest. Most managers won't mind a couple million odd fine, but dropping 3 points in the league could drop them a fair few places, which could determine their position for the season. I'm sure this would encourage managers to update they're formations, knowing the consequences if they don't.

[-Rafa-]

I've updated my squad and I agree with G, points deduction rather then fines

[Scarface]

I'm afraid the Matchday 7 fixtures are going to be a slight mess, folks. Two matches have been postponed due to incorrect line-ups posted, while two D1 matches have been delayed due to no line-ups being posted.

[Keyser Soze]

Ah, thats a shame. :( I guess one of them games happens to be mine.

[martin_cranie]

No probs mate, not your fault.

[Preki-USA]

so are we still voting or what?

[martin_cranie]

Of course, just avoid matches that are postponed.

[Usul]

My formation is up. Aplogies for the delay.

[Keyser Soze]

By the way HP and Reyes, Hunter's formation is up, so you can post our game when you are ready. Cheers.

[Rasheed Sharq]

Sorry for my short votes this week, I'm sorry and next time I will vote much more, just in a big hurry now. Apologies. :(

[Barry]

No worries, its just a game ;) As long as you vote, really. You don't have to post comments par se.

[Rangers_Fureva]

What's happening with my game with Yossi? He hasn't been on in a while actually.:erm:

[Nedy]

I think that the problem was his formation. He cant use Forlan and he put on his first team vs you John...

[nikos24]

What's happening with me and Figo? Postpone till next week? I'm not even sure if Figo has been online lately, I hope he does come back soon.

[Nedy]

The same with Rangers and Yossi......Figo put a lot of players suspend in his first team vs you Nikos....

[Keyser Soze]

To be honest, I don't think thats fair. Why should Nikos and John get punished through others' carelessness? I mean, fair enough if the formation is slightly late like Muad and Hunter, but this takes the piss a bit. I'm not saying it's their fault, but in future I think we should hand out punishments, which would encourage them to at least tell someone to do they're formation for them.

[Nedy]

Agree with you Mat...

[Scarface]

What's not fair? I sympathise with Nikos and Rangers for having their matches delayed, but the matches can't be played with incorrect lineups, so there's nothing that can be done, and unfortunately, this probably isn't the last time this will happen. There's been no announcement over punishments, when the games will be re-arranged to or anything else as Victor and myself haven't had a chance to discuss it yet.

[Yossi]

Hmm, I didn't realise players who needed restng couldn't be on the bench, and I didn't see this as I was in Germany. My bad.

[Scarface]

It was because the suspended Forlan was in the first XI.

[Phatmann]

Maybe in the future we could use the substitutes, e.g. if I had Owen in the side but was suspended, he could be swapped with the first striker who comes up in my subs. Could stop delays like this happening, but maybe if someone has a whole load of suspensions it wouldn't work.

[Yossi]

It was because the suspended Forlan was in the first XI.
Whoops. I meant to leave him out, I guess I kinda forgot to when I put up my formation.

EDIT: I've changed it now, obviously.

[Scarface]

I've put the game up now.

Looks like Figo is unfortunately going to try to hide from the issue or not come back, so i'll talk to Victor about one of us choosing a lineup for Figo's team without the suspended players, as it's unfair to keep Nikos a game behind everyone else.

[Highway Penguin]

I was on now and then today and didn't catch you James. Hopefully tomorrow.

I'll also throw up the Division Cup games.

[-Rafa-]

You putting the division cups up now?

[Highway Penguin]

No, tomorrow.

[martin_cranie]

Updated league tables will be up when the Yossi v Rangers game closes.

[Nedy]

Somebody know when we play the league?

[Preki-USA]

soon i hope

:)

[-Rafa-]

When do we play in the cup?

[Scarface]

I'm not sure it's possible for the League games to be played this weekend, as the D2 squad rotation stats haven't been updated, so if the games were put up, half the games might have to be cancelled later on due to players suspensions.

The Cup games will be the played after the League games, as it says in the schedule thread. Depends when the League games are played, but either mid-week or next weekend.

[Preki-USA]

:( sakes

i don't have time to do it every week and i don't have the tables...if anyone wants to update the squad rotation go for it

[Rangers_Fureva]

:( sakes

i don't have time to do it every week and i don't have the tables...if anyone wants to update the squad rotation go for it

I'll have a bash at them mate. If it means getting the games up earlier then alls good and well.:happy:

[Preki-USA]

alright john, i love you.

[Highway Penguin]

About the squad rotation stuff; each manager should pay attention to their own rotation needs. Following some sort of honor code, if you know what I mean. Obviously we'll try to update the Squad Rotation thread as much as possible, but we have all got other obligations outside the board which take time away from running the league. So basically, be responsible and mature about it so we haven't got to hold up the league. :)

Everything is going to be pushed back a weekend then. Cup games this week as usual.

[-Rafa-]

Are they this Wednesday?

[Highway Penguin]

Tuesday.

[Highway Penguin]

I can't make those fancy little tables for the Squad Rotation, so either someone can do them and they'll get a big pat on the back or I can just update who is not eligible to play. Either way, they need to be done as soon as possible, as we've got games this weekend.

[martin_cranie]

Apologies for the hold up with the updated WCL Tables, they will be up later today (Sunday).

6-0 Barry, thats a record isnt it? Very nice Barry...

Yeah good stuff Barry, after a poor start to the season you could well be the darkhorse of D2 this year. And well done to Muad for getting his first league win of the season (sorry Charlie ;)).

[Barry]

I still can't believe it, I mean Poffeman's team isn't that bad. I guess it's the amount of voters overall, but yay anyway ;)

[Charlie: 9]

Yeah good stuff Barry, after a poor start to the season you could well be the darkhorse of D2 this year. And well done to Muad for getting his first league win of the season (sorry Charlie ;)).

As Martin said, there came a time when a large number of votes were being cast 'incorrectly', so to try to address the issue, I said that all votes should remain the same, whether the votes were mistakenly cast, or not, and I was getting tired of having to go through all the posts and reading that the vote should be for the other team, but the rule wasn't made completely official, so you'll have to talk to Victor about that, and see what he says.

[Usul]

And well done to Muad for getting his first league win of the season.
Thanks, man. I really needed that victory. Though i'm not too happy that it was against Charlie.
[/B]Well done Muad, bout time that great team you have has won...
My thoughts precisely.

[Charlie: 9]

Thanks, man. I really needed that victory. Though i'm not too happy that it was against Charlie.

Believe you me Im not happy either :tongue:

The formation you have used was just spot on, maybe this will you see that team of yours shoot up the table, Id be shocked if you stay in the bottom half of the table, at least.

[-Rafa-]

I'll play anyone in a friendly please
