Realistic Premier League

Please be aware that this week's fixture are as follows:


Stoke City v West Bromwich
Sunderland v Norwich
Aston Villa v Fulham
Newcastle Utd v Crystal Palace
West Ham Utd v Cardiff City

Please PM Hero the following (if you are playing myself then PM Nando) before the end of Friday:

1. A easy to read team sheet eg:


2. A list of 7 substitutes eg: Lindegaard, Fabio, Jones, Young, Hernandez, Welbeck, Cleverley.

3. A list of 3 injuries (not applicable in week 1) eg: Giggs, Smalling, Valencia

4. Clear tactics in a bullet point format, we advise a minimum of five lines and a maximum of ten eg:

   GK - Be vocal, communicate with your defensive line at all times, instruct them at set pieces and look to catch the ball rather than punch it, look to release early onto the flanks for counter attacks.
   FBs - Keep any wingers on the outside, stay on your feet and block crosses, come forward down the flank when available
   CBs - Man mark the strikers, keep goal side and time tackles
   CMs - Look to pressurise early, spread the ball across the pitch and dictate the pace of the game
   WGs - Work with our FBs to double up down the flanks and whip balls into the box, mix it up by coming inside and dribbling into the box, look to go down easy.
   SS - Play between the midfield and the main striker, link up play, hang just outside the box when there's period of pressure and look for loose balls
   ST - Hang on the shoulder of the deepest CB and look to drag them out of position, anticipate the ball and look to burst into the box for crosses or one-twos.



These shall then be posted on the board and results will be posted on Monday.

Hero, are you able to tidy up the section (get rid of old threads etc)
 

Sorted  

Were you after your beloved Toon army btw?

its ok, you picked them first  
Im happy with Villa, i can hold someone hostage for Benteke  

I'll give it a go, Sunderland please!

Who's half decent this season for your lot?

Ben Arfa best player, Cabaye scored some beltas (watch his goal v Liverpool)

Nice one guys. Go to make a choice here, I suppose I'll go for Stoke actually, fancy a bit of a challenge really.

If you guys that are interested can get your links in ASAP that'd be great.

Lets not forget, Newcastle do have other half decent players like Krul, Debuchy, Sissoko that can easily change their form soon enough. Gotta watch out for Newcastle now...

I'll do mine after work tonight

Mine's up

Quality you 2.

Added up a number of sections for you CBK as well

Ok, but can I edit them if I want to/take over some of the pages if I want to as well as the other members as well or is it you that has to do the editing?

Also Hero, how come it says that I am a moderator of the Sports Gaming board? Is that because I've updated something?

Because I've added you to the group to be able to tweak things, can you have a try editing one of the stickies.

Yeah I will. Gonna make a couple of changes to the Rules most likely anyway, I've been in a Realistic League before, I know how they work.

West Brom for me please

Ill take Fulham  

Thanks you 2...

il take west ham...?

Post your side up then CF & put your link in here

Ill have Norwich

He's a hammer himself so I'm sure he'll be here for the longhaul!

Well he usually turns good sides into bad sides, turned a fantastic Swansea side into a side full of Premiership rejects

Ah right. He sounds quite the good Manager. Once you get your link in, and then I'll wait for xviperx and then I'll complete mine and we will get this underway.

chill with CF guys, at least hes taking part  

Good point.......

Back from work, will do my team now...few quick questions just to clear it all up.

1. Where is the best place to find the full first team for Sunderland?
2. Do players I have in on loan this season (eg. Borini) count towards this?

Once I get these answers, I'll get it ready.

Wikipedia
yes they do

I'd also advise to check Transfermarkt for a guide on player values, will certainly assist against getting fleeced.

there you go, it struck me that I don't know many of the players on my team haha

https://www.606v2.com/t49128-norwich-city-fc

Zeb Coutler is going to be on my coaching set up.

I'd certainly advise to read up on your team, if there's a clamour for a player you don't know much about thens probably a reason.
Viper think of Uhaa Nation over in the wrestling version etc.

I've got a set few who I'll be keeping no matter what but most of my team can go, I'm hoping I can scrape by on a mixture of luck and tactical craziness...I plan to be the Mike Bassett for 606v2!

I've been watching the funniest bits of that film this week. Such a poor Manager but a brilliant film.

Right then, so now we've got all the links in, should we say we open Domestics tomorrow? Might be easiest as a lot of people might not be on through today and I feel it always works best to start on a working week. Then open Foreign's up Wednesday/Thursday. That's my idea.

boo  

Start today  

cos im out all morning tomorrow

Shotgun signing Benson and Hedges!

I'd get it off to a start today, domestics are generally quieter than foreigns anyway.

agree, most of the people in this league post on weekends, it would be good to start domestics today to give us something to do  

Can I clarify - players in on loan are yours permanently? Or are they only on loan for the season?
