Realistic Premier League

First topic message reminder :

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.

LSTD maybe?

AVFC. For reals.

Trebs, why not PM Tooze and ask him if he wants to join?

And if we were to add teams, who would it be? Cardiff + Swansea?

Cardiff and Hull, Southampton and Swansea are perhaps a bit too decent (although I have Newcastle).

Hull and Cardiff are out best bets if we are to get anymore members to join. Unless we find them soon, then it might have to be a no. Foreign's will begin Wednesday 9AM, there is no leeway on that date/time.

How are foreigns going to work CBK - two bids per day? Per week? How realistic is it, does a move have to be backed up by a rumour link or just a very good pitch?

5 Transfers per day, you can only bid for 1 at a time. First come first served. Once you've had your bid accepted, you can immediately confirm. It's all in the Rules I think anyway. But it's got to be something that can be backed up. You need good hard evidence for the most optimistic targets that they either want to leave to your club/their current club and they have a good chance of starting for you. If there is no evidence of this, I can't accept the transfer.

CBK: do you want me to do injuries?

What stats will you be looking at ?

That'd be helpful yes CF.

Nickis, Top Goalscorers, Assists, Yellow Cards, Red Cards, and MOTM players. Would this be ok for you?

Yeah that's fine mate  

ok mate il get a thread up for injuries, either later on today or tomorrow

whats happening with releases? I wish to release some players

CF wrote:whats happening with releases? I wish to release some players

This

Releases were open with Domestics. There should be a page I presume?

So, got CF on injury duty and Nickis doing stats, that's cool.

Just need someone to handle Media now and anyone who wants to be the Transfer Manager after my stint this week. The position is available from next Monday onwards.

Guys we're just looking at a few funky ideas for the league to make it a bit more enjoyable for everyone that partakes in it, if you have any suggestions please let us know and we'll give it some thought.

CBK, could you have a look on the admin section.

1) Dont allow Hero any foreign transfers is my suggestion  

Do Financial Fair play Rules apply in this league?

what happened to Azzy?

He requested his account be deleted.

okey cokey

I'd be interested in bringing Cardiff into the league

only wba available atm Olly

Ah right only going off the homepage, yeah sure WBA why not

Tell me what I gotta do, will endevour to do it

Just take a copy of azzy's page and ill sort the rest out  

If there is a vacancy then I'd be willing to fill it

I will let you know if there is but currently we are full

Thanks, just drop me a PM if ever there's an opportunity

still havent signed anybody

I now have £93m to spend, i need to sign some players!

Why has Azzy decided to leave the site? Is it possible for me to be able to talk to him or email him some how?

Also guys, Lubo isn't having a spot in the league. Let me make that clear to you. I don't care what's vacant and whose available but he is not coming into this league, that's a guarantee. I just want to make that perfectly clear.

when is the first game boss?

A week on Saturday so I feel once we get to the end of Foreign's by the weekend time, people will more or less have their squads up to date by Monday without doubt so we can start then and open tactics and then I'll announce the results over the weekend.

coolio, i think once foreigns begin and people can get a taste of who they can likely get the game will take off. People are hesitant (myself included) to sell good players at the moment without knowing if we can replace them in foreigns.

It's always a risk selling your best players to clubs within the league anyway.

1) Because as you say, you don't know if you'll be able to replace them with a player at the same quality/better
2) They might be players that you won't be able to get easily in Foreign's if at all so it'd be risky.

My advice to start with, maybe ask for a couple of big name players and see what response you get from me and that might give a good look in to what kind of quality players are available and who aren't. Another tip would be I'd look at quality players for the league at smaller clubs and in smaller leagues i.e. Russia, Holland. You might have a chance of getting some players there.

its ok, im going for a player that Villa are linked with in real life, and villa are having discussions with the club involved  

As long as I think it;s a reliable source and it's good hard evidence, you've got a chance.

so why isnt Lubo ever going to join the league mate?

Read through this article and plenty of others before hand and even ask Hero/Fernando who may have seen it and you'll know why. Not repeating the story.

CBK can you come on the admin section?

Just going to football now Hero, be back by about 8:10/15 so I'll reply then.

Lubo is LRF?
  Don't let him join ever!!! He was promoting sites last time.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHHAA BRILLIANT!!

CBK is LRF.

And Lubo is welcome to join if a place becomes available.

All foreign bids that are submitted tomorrow will be answered and decided upon tomorrow evening.
I advise to provide links to help your cause and reasons for the player to join your club.

Hero, I seriously do not recommend it. People have been moaning at CF about his lack of commitment, trust me, you don't want this guy. He's the one who plays Gio Van Bronkhorst at LB, says it was a 'joke' to try and 'catch me out' and then when I get rid of him he accuses me of a fixing a result when he was was predicted a relatively heavy defeat in the first place, I think I know this guy isn't the person I'm wanting in my league.

I am LRF guys. Sorry to break that to you. However, I've changed my ways and I know I'll put you back on my side, trust me, I won't let you guys down.

i hate politics, cant we just play for fun?

Well exactly. I don't really know what this league is about tbh? People are saying it's run by the members, others say I run it and others want to get on with the game I'm very much confused. You want me to be honest, I can't make out what the idea of the league is even though I run it.

CBK that's the thing you don't run it, you just tried to take control of it and railroad it. It's not for you to be making all these calls and deciding on things without consulting everyone else. You're welcome to discuss ideas with us all but can you stop from this point laying down the law.
