[-Rafa-]

I'll give you one Orig, look a few posts up and mine is there, I have to go now so if you can post it up that's good :)

[Original?]

Yeah sure, didn't notice that, must have been while I was typing my post.

Anyone up for a friendly?

Subs: Kuszczak, Felipe, Rajkovic, Criscito, Demel, Serginho, Cassetti, Curtis Davies, Niko Kovac, Luis Jimenez, Sidwell, Malbranque, Fiore, Benzema, Montella, Djalo, Forestieri

Questions:

1 - Since Luca Toni's departure, would you say that I have stregthened up the all round quality of my team?
2 - I've asked this question many a time in a Friendly, but as my squad has changed, I would like to know again; Has my Team got a decent chance of survival this season?
3 - Rooney, Pizarro - Good partnership up top?
4 - Good enough back four?
5 - Midfield; Would you say I would need to buy another strong central midfielder?
6 - Rank my defenders in order; Michael Salgado, Ze Castro, Ibanez, Fabio Aurelio (Yes, I know he can play midfield, but I would need him at LB most of the season), Felipe, Rajkovic, Criscito, Demel, Serginho, Cassetti and Curtis Davies
7 - Rank my midfielders in order; Benayoun, Costinha, Hizlsperger, Nedved, Luis Jimenez, Niko Kovac, Sidwell, Malbranque and Fiore
8 - Rank my Forwards in order; Rooney, Pizarro, Benzema, Montella, Forestieri and Djalo

Yes, sorry for the amount of questions, but I do need them answered as they really do mean a lot. I also do know I have too many defenders, and will be trying to ship a few away in the near future.

[Dragonfly]

I'll give you one Cali. I'll post it up.

I love my friendlies. :happy:

EDIT: Actually, I think I won't. :mellow:

4) Is the second choice central defence looking okay, or a little shaky?
5) Who is my best DMF: Muntari or Mavuba?
6) In terms of the squad as a whole, are there any areas that stand out as needing improvement, bearing in mind my aim is winning D2?

[Cali]

Cranie, I will give you one. I'll just post it up, mate.

[Keyser Soze]

Pavel Pardo, what are your opinions on him? I'm aware you don't get too much Bundesliga.

[Dragonfly]

Anyone fancy one final friendly?

http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/2237/formationqr8.jpg

Reserves: John O'Shea, Matthieu Delpierre, Marco Senna, Cristian Ledesma, Ivan Rakitic, Carlos Alberto, Matias Fernandez, Peter Odemwingie

Questions:

1 - What do you think about that team and formation?

2 - Would Gudjohnsen be effective there?

3 - Should Palacio and D'Alessandro swap sides? And is Palacio fine playing in that position?

4 - Does Kahn still have it in him to perform well for the whole season?

5 - Is Kobiashvili be a good backup for Senna?

6 - Am I good to go?

[Dragonfly]

I don't really need to have a match posted up. Comments in this thread will be fine. ;)

[Dragonfly]

Scarface,

I noticed you said not to post anything but our formations in the Formations Threads. So, can't I post the fixture lists in my thread, so it's easier for people to keep up with which game it coming up.

[Scarface]

It's no problem posting that there. I copied my post from last season, and it was directed more at not posting any comments in the thread about suspended players, problems with lineups etc, as that obviously all belongs in this thread.

[Dragonfly]

Cool.

Also, CAN PEOPLE PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTIONS.

Thanks.

[greenegg]

Sorry I must have missed this bit but does D3 have squad rotation this year?

[Wan]

I think it has.

[greenegg]

I think it has.

You will forgive me for not taking your view on things as gospel.

[Wan]

Well Rafa said it before to me..

[-Rafa-]

Yes there is Greenegg, all leagues have Squad Rotation.

[Preki-USA]

Are the Squad Rotation threads going up anytime soon?

[Dragonfly]

I know there's one in the Archives section, but I'm assuming there will be an updated one, including the rotation has been applied to D3.

[Wellzy]

Nice one James, but I was sure I won 1-2, oh well, i'll take the 2-3! When will the scorers be posted fella?

[Scarface]

The scores are often changed, as we used to have a list of similar scores each week, generally 1-1 or 2-1, rather than 3-3 or 4-3.

2-1 can be changed to 1-0, 3-2, 4-3 etc, so we'll always keep the goal difference the same.

The scorers and MOTM awards will be posted within the next hour.

[Dragonfly]

What's going to happen to Wan? I had a feeling he'd do something stupid, but I never thought he'd cheat.

[Barry]

I'd say award Rangers the victory (already happened), give Wan a warning and a fine or something, be it points of money.

[Scarface]

After what happened towards the end of last season, we had to consider taking his team away, but he has apologized and promised to never do it again, and as it was his first game, we're giving him a second chance. He's received a hefty points deduction and Rangers Fureva is awarded a 2-0 win.

[Scarface]

Could Bammers, The G, Lorenzinho & Wellzy post their formations (or at least reserve a post and edit later) ASAP, so that the squad rotation stats thread stays above all the formation threads throughout the season.

[Preki-USA]

Sorry guys, I was on vacation this past weekend in the lovely white mountains of New Hampshire and I was only able to log on for a bit from a cafe while i was doing some work for a website I work for. I will do a better job voting next time around.

[martin_cranie]

A reminder to everyone that the first round of WCL games will be posted later tonight. There are still 8 managers that haven't posted line-ups in the Cup Formations thread.

Updated tables and scorers for the last league fixtures will also be posted up tonight.

[Barry]

Sully you animal, post it up.

Guys, my apoligies for not voting this week.

My computer of course, decided to conk out. Apparently someone had changed the password on the router, so we couldn't connect. Which was a bugger as I know that it wasn't me, I didn't even know how to get to the router settings. It's now obviously up and running again, which is all good.

A 1-1 draw with Viper. Pretty decent although I hoped to take the three points (No offence to you Viper, mate). Time to prepare my match preview then :cool:.

I would just like to say sorry for not getting around to voting in the last set of fixtures. I have been snowed under with work and been pretty busy with a lot of things.

I'll give my full attention this coming weekend.

[Preki-USA]

hey guys,

I've had trouble devoting my full attention to voting during our weekend matches because of my job and travels. Every weekend I am usually traveling to see friends (girlfriends) or family and hardly have a second to check my email, never mind vote in the Fantasy League.

During the week however I do have ample time to vote on the matches have my say because I am in front of a computer all day at work or while doing school work.

I guess I will try to do better but I was wondering exactly what time voting usually ends on Monday and if anyone has suggestions...

[nath_scfc]

Is there any cup games this week?

I ask as I'm working tomorrow evening and night so I won't be able to submit a formation at the last minute, so I'll need to prepare one in advance if there are fixtures.

Cheers.

We all have our inactive periods, so don't worry about it guys.

League games are usually posted between 8pm Friday and 1am Saturday mornings BST. So matches are usually over by the early hours of Monday mornings at the latest. You should therefore aim to have voted no later than Sunday night BST.

I believe we're going with the first round of Division Cup matches this Tuesday. The full draw can be found in the Cup Info thread.

[nath_scfc]

Ok, thanks. Cheers for the quick response.

[martin_cranie]

No problem.

I've now fully updated the Fantasy League Fixtures thread to include the running order of all the seasons matches, so it's now a perfectly reliable schedule. If there are any deviations, notification will be posted in this thread. Otherwise, prepare your teams according to the gospel that is the aforementioned thread.

[Viperized]

I don't have the time to manage my FL team. I think its important that a replacement is found quickly. Sadly I simply do not have the time to be active in the FL section.

[Hunter]

I don't have the time to manage my FL team. I think its important that a replacement is found quickly. Sadly I simply do not have the time to be active in the FL section.

Unfortunately I'm in the same boat. I'm getting heaps of work to do, and I therefore want to squeeze whatever social life I'll have left into the equation too so I have very little time to get on. I've found myself missing dates in the last week or so too, so as Viperized has said, I think it's important a replacement is found soon enough.

Thanks though, I've enjoyed the ups and downs of the League and it's been a good laugh. Well done to all the heavyweights involved to help keep the League running such as Highway, James, Martin, Colt (RIP) and to anyone who I've forgot, danke.

[Dragonfly]

That's a real shame mate. You were a good manager, and I thought you had the best chance of beating Scarface to the title this season as well. Good luck with whatever it is taking you away from us.

[Phatmann]

A quick question regarding squad rotation, is it only for league games or cup games too?

[Keyser Soze]

This is bad news, I can safely say there won't be a manager to fill the boots of a manager like Hunter nowadays. Shame.

[Keyser Soze]

A quick question regarding squad rotation, is it only for league games or cup games too?
Just league games.

[Phatmann]

Just league games.

Why do some people have 4 separate played or not played symbols when there's only been 3 league games? :mellow:

[Dragonfly]

Why do some people have 4 separate played or not played symbols when there's only been 3 league games? :mellow:

Maybe it's a trick. Make people think they're going to play certain players, but change it last minute. :ninja:

[Nedy]

Some people have 4 symbols because they already post his formation for Matchday 4, so they decided to put 4 symbols. I do sometimes.

[Barry]

Shame to see you both leave, we hope to see you back one day.

I've just been voting in all the matches and noticed that both Sully and Figo have Ronaldo as a centre forward, so was wondering which one is Cristiano Ronaldo and which is Ronaldo of Milan?

[Calzone]

Sully has the ronaldo of milan.

[Phatmann]

How come I beat Cali 5-3 in the cup game when on votes I only won 10-3? Is there a different scoring system for the cups?

[Dragonfly]

How come I beat Cali 5-3 in the cup game when on votes I only won 10-3? Is there a different scoring system for the cups?

No. I think the voting system is just a guideline for the goal difference. Scarface and Martin will give the match what they feel is a more realistic scoreline. Cup games don't seem to get as much attention, so instead of having 1-0 or 2-1 wins all the time, they create more exciting and reasonable score lines based on the voting guideline. So, 10-3 would be 2-0, so with 5-3 you still get win by a 2 goal margin.

You bastard. :angry:

[Dragonfly]

What happened to the matches this weekend? I noticed the formation threads are closed.

[Original?]

I imagine... that Martin and Scarface were busy with their respective freshers' week, and that the formation threads are locked to prevent people editting their formations.

[Dragonfly]

Ah, I forgot about uni, especially now I am no longer a student. :smug:

[Original?]

Ah, I forgot about uni, especially now I am no longer a student. :smug:

How is that a good thing mate? ;)

[martin_cranie]

Yeah, Original? hit the nail on the head there. I also have no internet at my house yet, so don't really have much chance to post things this week. Scarface is also a tad busy.

If a couple of you guys would be able to step up to the plate and post some games, it would be a real help. I remember The G and Original? saying that they might be able to do some shizz, so if that offer still stands it would be a real help. No problem if you guys can't, but if someone could do so just for a couple of rounds it would be appreciated.

Here is the framework I use for posting matches, so just pop stuff in it from the division formation and FL schedule threads:

{center]{size=4]name[/size]

formation

{size=4]vs

name{/size]

formation{/center]

That offer still stands, I rarely go out on a Friday as I work early on the Saturday so I can post matches on the night if you like? For this round I can do all the matches from the weekend now, and then post up the cup matches on Wednesday instead of Tuesday, that way we can have next weekend's game posted on time?

That sound fine?

[Scarface]

Nice one getting the games up Scott, but don't worry about the cup games tomorrow. They can take place at the weekend, as we're well ahead of schedule having played several midweek games, and we'll end up starting our mid-season break in November, rather than Christmas time, unless we have some of the cup games at weekends.

I'll be around on Friday to post games, but if you would like to help out doing half of them, it'd be appreciated again.

That suits me as I am actually going to be playing football tomorrow afternoon and then I'm off out on the night so it was going to be tight. That's fine, just PM me the ones you want me to do.

[Wellzy]

As I have already said, James, If you are in need of a hand on the scorers/Man of the match's, I'll gladly help.

You and Cranie are doing a great job, a credit to the Fantasy League ;)

[Scarface]

Cheers mate, i'll let you know if i'm going to struggle to get them done.

Thanks to Original? for posting up the last set of matches, it really is a great help. I won't be connected to the internet until Wednesday/Thursday next week so I'll be pretty much non-existant until then. My life without internet is almost devoid of meaning. Thank God that I have alcohol to fall back on.

Unlucky Cranie. You'll be missed till then.

Is tonights games league or cup matches?

[Dragonfly]

The cup matches. League Cups, I believe.

Is the next round of league matches going to be posted up during the week or next weekend?

Also, when are the results and scorers from the latest round of the WCL going to be posted up?

[Preki-USA]

I thought that league matches were supposed to run until monday night?

[Dragonfly]

The last batch of matches were cup matches, not league matches.

They are open for 48 hours from the moment the poll is created, if they're created at Friday 23.55 BST they will finish Sunday 23.55 BST.

[-Rafa-]

The league games starting up on Friday then?

[Wellzy]

I hope so, I need some time to plan my formy! Good Game Cranie ;)

[Scarface]

Is the next round of league matches going to be posted up during the week or next weekend?

Matchday 6 this Friday.

I'll have both the outstanding results/scorers posted tomorrow and update the top scorers list soon after.

[Barry]

Get in there ;)

[Viperized]

5-4 votes?

How does that give a 2-1 result, if you don't mind me asking? :erm:

2 votes = 1 goal?
3 votes = 1 goal?

Either way it would give a draw. <_<

[Dragonfly]

0-4 votes = 0 goals.
5-8 votes = 1 goal.

[Original?]

Perhaps it would be useful if everyone voted for themselves in their matches, that way we won't have to keep clicking to view results, which me being a lazy cunt annoys me greatly.

[Dragonfly]

:laugh: I'm the same, but I stand by my principle that I won't vote for myself unless the other manager votes for himself. (unless my vote will gain me extra points)

[Original?]

:laugh: I'm the same, but I stand by my principle that I won't vote for myself unless the other manager votes for himself. (unless my vote will gain me extra points)

I agree, but that's why I want to set it as a precedent that we all vote for ourselves, until then I will only vote for myself if my opponent does.

[Dragonfly]

Are there any cup games on tonight?

[Original?]

I think they'll be at the weekend to slow down the schedule.

[Dragonfly]

Slow down the schedule? :(

[Wan]

So that it will not end too early.

The next Cup games will be on Friday. We'll only have 1 set of games each week for the time being, as we're ahead of schedule and would end up starting our mid-season break well before Christmas if we keep having cup games in midweek.

[Barry]

I haven't voted for myself for at least a year.

*corrects halo*

[McGregor]

Sorry for neglecting this recently but I've been quite busy doing some stuff like coaching and I had a couple of job interviews.

I'll get back on track though and try and post more in here.

Cheers

[Scarface]

If anyone still needs to update their team for Matchday 7, make sure it's done within the next half an hour, as I need to have the games posted by 8.30 tonight.

A few teams seem to have not been changed for a while, so may have players suspended. Make sure you're following the squad rotation policy.

[Keyser Soze]

I'll post them up later for you if need-be, James.

[Scarface]

Cheers mate, but I don't mind posting some up in the next hour, although if you (or anyone else) could help out by posting half of them for around 8.30, it'd be appreciated.

[Dragonfly]

I don't mind helping out either.

[Keyser Soze]

Sweet. Me and/or Dragonfly can clear up what you've missed after you've done what you can.

[Scarface]

Shall we each post up our own league then; 5 games each?

[Keyser Soze]

Sounds good. I'll start now.

[Dragonfly]

Fine by me. 8.30 right?

[Scarface]

Cool, cheers for the help guys.

[Dragonfly]

Is it alright if I give D3 managers until 8.30, since it appears some haven't updated their formations, and it will also give me time to see if any rotations need to be made.

[Wan]

Nice!

[Scarface]

Yeah, that's fine.

If they haven't updated by then, if necessary, they'll just have to field a second string team for the final 2 League games before the mid-season, while their players serve a 2 game suspension.

[Dragonfly]

I think it'll actually take longer than "until 8.30" to check if the rotations are up to scratch.

Also, Wan! You're reserved a post in the rotations thread, but not even posted any rotation in it once. Sort it out mate.

[Top Gun]

Just realised I haven't done my squad rotation stats since taking over from Martin Cranie. I made sure my team didn't have any suspensions and I will post the stats up in a bit.

[Wan]

Sorry!
But I do remember the rotation (I think?)
I'll do it later.

[Keyser Soze]

Done. That was long.Sorry!
But I do remember the rotation (I think?)
I'll do it later.
You better hope players haven't played 6/7 (which one, guys?) consecutively or you'll be in trouble! :redcard:

By the way, what is the punishment for evading Squad Rotation?

[Dragonfly]

By the way, what is the punishment for evading Squad Rotation?

I was going to ask that too. Rangers_Fureva will be playing Nakamura 7 games in a row, so am I allowed to change the team for him, or does he just get punished for breaking the rules?

[Keyser Soze]

I was going to ask that too. Rangers_Fureva will be playing Nakamura 7 games in a row, so am I allowed to change the team for him, or does he just get punished for breaking the rules?
Punished. :banplz:

[Scarface]

If most of his players are suspended, i'd say to change it for him, but as it's only one player, it's probably best to leave it and he'll have to be left out for the next two games.

You better hope players haven't played 6/7 (which one, guys?) consecutively or you'll be in trouble!

By the way, what is the punishment for evading Squad Rotation?

6 consecutive games are allowed, but if they play that amount in a row, they'll automatically be suspended for the next game. If they play 7 in a row, they'll be suspended for 2 games and receive a fine.

The punishments at the end of the season could be a fine and/or points deduction, depending on the severity. For mid-season, it would most likely be a fine, but it'd depend on how much the rules have been broken. If they've been neglected badly, a points deduction would be considered then too.

[Dragonfly]

I could just put Gallardo in place for Nakamura, but since it's such a minor offence, I don't know if Rangers would be alright with a fine.

EDIT: Mark has the same problem. Since this will hopefully be a one off, minor incident, I'll just leave the formations as they are.

[Dragonfly]

I just noticed some of the D3 managers just came on line.

I'll give you guys until 9pm to have a chance to change formations if needed.

[Calzone]

I just noticed some of the D3 managers just came on line.

[Joel]

I didn't realise that the some polls were finishing early today, so I couldn't vote in some games.

So apologies to the teams that were involved in those games, I'll try and not let it happen again.

[Keyser Soze]

I missed one game too, I've just came in and found I had 10 minutes to vote. The number of voters are slowly decreasing every week though anyway.

[Wellzy]

All we need is new blood in and the voting should increase. It is annoying that there are some inactive people letting the side down :(.

[Dragonfly]

Aargh!!! Once again I miss out on two points by one vote.

I should have won all my matches by at least 23 goal margins, but Rob Lewis seems to be the linesman in every single match.

[Scarface]

I've gotta head out now and won't be back until late, so could someone else post up the rest of the games? There's only six remaining, from "The Midnight Riders" vs Pique to Nathegg vs Dragonfly.

[Phatmann]

Well done for putting up the matches Rambo :)

[Rambo]

Cheers.

[Scarface]

Thanks for that, John.

[Scarface]

As we're heading towards Matchday 8, managers need to be fully aware of their squad rotation situation, as some players may need to be rested now, or more importantly, selected for the next two games, if they haven't featured already.

Try to get your squad rotation stats updated before the next set of games, or at least know who needs to play and who needs to be rested, if any.

[Calzone]

Just checking in. I'm up to date with my Squad Rotation. ;)

[Barry]

Hm I've only done two rounds but not to worry; I'll get on it after my driving lessons.

[Wellzy]

Mine is up to date, but I havent posted it... Will do soon ;)

[Bammers05]

Mine is up to date :smug:

[Preki-USA]

mine is, as well as my old squads up til i left them.

[Bammers05]

Will the next round of cup matches be mid-week or during the weekend?

[Scarface]

Might aswell put them up tomorrow.

6th November - Division Cup Round 4
9th November - Matchday 9
13th November - WCL Round 4
16th November - Transfer Window Opens

[Keyser Soze]

Just to clarify, if two teams finish a league with the same amount of points; SURELY it can't be decided by goal difference if they are being changed to make it more realistic?!

Are the WCL Round 4 happening this week?

[Scarface]

No, I couldn't come online yesterday to post them, and by the time I could have posted them today, they would have overlapped with the transfer window, so they'll be the first fixture when the season restarts instead.

[Wellzy]

Sorry for being a pest... but when will the tables, results go up and of course the Top Scorers and mid-season awards be up... I enjoy reading your write ups on these James :D

[Scarface]

I'm going to do the tables and results/scorers later, after i've replied to some PM's.

I've made a note of the top scorers, but will post them up during the next week or so, in a better format.

Not sure about a mid-season awards thread, it's more likely to be next month if I do one, as most of my time on here will likely be spent on the transfer window during the next couple of weeks.

[Wellzy]

Fair do's, good to hear boss ;)

2. How do you rate Pablo Zabaleta?

4. Seydou Keita or Kim Kallstrom?

5. Does any part of my team need to be strengthened?

Or this front three:

----Wilhemson----------------Altintop----
------------------Crespo----------------

I'd love to start Rakitic, but I doubt he'd get me too many votes. Also, if I were to play that formation, Ambrosini would start ahead of Zabaleta.
