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.

Will we have transfer news up today

Should do pretty soon  

I want to know if I got my Wes

Ba - No, Chelsea are believed to wish to sell him overseas and currently a deal to Valencia in January is looking likely.

Morgan -No, Leicester are reluctant to lose their captain whilst they are fighting for automatic promotion this season, the player too is looking to sign a new contract and feels he can help them get into the Premier League.

Johnny Evans - No, he's getting game time and knows both Rio & Vidic's time is running out.

Ryan Bertrand - No, The latest interview with him a few months ago stated he was happy to wait on the bench and bide his time.

Lescott - Yes, most press are speculating he's leaving in January including the City writer for the MEN.

Batth - Yes, his contract runs out at the end of the season and he's not signed despite being offered one for the past 6 months, fellow players think he'll sign but a Premier League showing interest is going to tempt him to move up 2 divisions, Wolves want 1m though.

Morrison - Yes if agree to 15% sell on fee.

Forster - Yes, has stated in press he'd like to return to Newcastle at some point but must be 1st choice keeper.

Would anyone be averse to the league starting this Friday tactics wise?

Fine by me. Shall we say no injuries gameweek 1?

Sorry for my recent inactivity, I should be better now.

Will my young side be ready by then?

Could we do the following Friday? But lets maybe have a little vote to see what the majority want

We need something to kick start the league, i say this week.

Sanchez, yes but player wants a £10 million release fee to go to a bigger club if Norwich don't qualify for Europe in this league

Dier - yes

Guidetti - no, city won't sell. 3 million for a season loan

All that's required tactics wise are a few brief bullet points if that, it's little effort to put together and you still have a possible 8 transfers you can bring in from foreigns if need be, I'm sure everyone can make this week for it to start.

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

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

Hero - thanks for the post.

Is it okay if the tactics over run the maximum and also will we still receive some sort of feedback on the matches through the results system?

Whilst we don't wish to penalise those that wish to put a bit more effort in we at the same respect don't want to turn this into a battle of attrition with essay like tactics, I don't want to spend my weekend wading through reams of instructions of set pieces and training ground routines that people have wrote, therefore we do want people to respect the 10 bullet point cap and keep within it, if it's being flagarantly broken then this will be taken into account on results and possibly default losses given if it continues.
Feedback will be provided with the results.

Ok that's fair enough and I understand mate.

Thanks a lot for the reply.

We don't also want to put off those that time is of a premium and they don't want to feel they have no chance against the Alex Ferguson's of the league.

That's fair enough mate, I was just interested that's all I haven't got a problem with it.

How's everyone finding it so far btw, anything that we can improve upon or clarify?

I'm really enjoying it mate, it's fantastic.

One question though out of interest, is the transfer deciding done on like a voting number system between the judges?

Yes it's basically those that are about that day decide and it goes with a majority decision. I usually google the player in question and see what transfer speculation has occured recently whilst weighing up the current position of the team he's in and if a move to the club in question he'd think of as a progression in his career to make my call.

Okay thanks mate, I appreciate it.

I also don't vote on my own btw just to clarify!  

Oh ok fair enough, thanks mate.

am i still doing injuries?

If that is okay with you?

I also requested the other day for someone if possible to collate all the foreign transfers (both accepted and failed) and make a page of them, would be great if someone could volunteer for this!

yeah im happy to do injuries  They start next week yeah?

Yes please, 3 random from each team.

ok will put them up every monday

Would do Hero but I'm very busy with my own league

guys what is the main area my squad needs strengthening in? I know there's a lot, but if you was to pick the biggest area to strengthen, what would it be?!

Well you shouldn't of got rid of Andy Carroll and Ravel Morrison to start.

Carroll's over-rated and Morrison is unproven and i got a good offer for him considering he's done next to nothing.

I can't believe you got rid of Morrison, what a talent

Just a quick question but due to Connor Wickham being sent on loan, does that mean I can't use him or sell him now even though he was part of my team when we started? I'd understand if he was loaned out before the league started but it seems unfair to not be able to do something with a player I had at one point even if his real life situation changed.

No you keep him as you had him at the start of the league. Any transfer or loan in RL involving one of your players doesn't mean you lose that player

It's just that you said you would have done a deal involving Wickham but then he got loaned out so it got me confused.

Yeah I meant just that because he's gone there in RL my interest in him has dissipated sorry.

Booooo!

I'm sorry to those who have made offers on my page, I haven't had the time to respond or do anything.

----------Speroni
Hunt--Batth--Mariappa--Parr
----------Jedinak
------Hughes--???
Puncheon-------Mingazov
---------Chamakh

Why didn't CBK want Lubo to be in this league again?

Because he was a twonk!

Agreed, Lubo has been a great addition and has a tough old job to sort out the mess of a palace team and he is doing a good job in doing that!

CBK has also today closed the league he was running on Ja.

Yeah and the admins put an unseperable filter on me and him

Young and strong that's my motto

Is CBK/LRF going to be allowed back on here?

Hell no, I can just about put up with you guys never mind that fruitloop
