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.

Would be good to get N21 over here as well as there, great poster.

Fulham have no goalkeeper in their tactics

My bad!
Cut n paste on the iPad is never my friend.

Sorry boys I'm gonna have to quit the leagues I'm in.

Dad has dropped the bombshell that he's moving to Australia before Christmas so I got a lot of sh!t to sort out.

So so sorry

Before Christmas is the worst time

How's he going to get the presents over

No worries Olly   Are you off to Australia or staying here?

I ain't going Frak that

Fair enough id be off if had a choice between Norwich and Australia   Sunshine & Nude Beaches > Norwich

Anywhere > Norwich

hope everything is ok Olly  

Sorry to hear about your dad Olly, the one plus point is in this day and age with Skype it's easier to keep in regular contact etc.

Anyone know of anyone wishing to join up that isn't an alias of LRF?

regarding Foreigns, can we bid for anyone with the hope it might sneek through, or is it only players linked to the club we can get?

anyone YI

Just helps your case if been linked.

A number of clubs in the league get a loss less press links so as long as you justify the transfer and that the move makes sense it will probably go through.

coolio, time to spend some money me thinks

For example Xavi is at the tail end of his career, he's worth prob 10m tops in RL but is he going to join a Premier League club that isn't in Europe despite a silly offer etc, prob not.

Anyone here fancy taking over Olly's team in the Euro Division? He has left behind the current league champions Ajax, a very nice job for someone.

Hey from someone who has probably had the most run ins with LRF

Howdi Wilshere  
Fancy taking over West Brom here, got a team spare.

week 3 injuries are up.

Hero

Just ignore Leffy regarding this site, I think it's great and you run it really well it must be really hard work and I wouldn't be able to manage it.

He's as bitter as a lemon but it's understandable, we worked out yesterday that he fathered a child at the age of 11

Just my opinion, thanks for the hard work

Lubo xx

jesus christ, are we going to have an LRF update every day?!  Let's get over it!

I'm just saying because he has just said that this site is rubbish and that Hero is inept

That bit's true  

LRF is just a simpleton at the end of the day, I think the vast majority of people over on Ja are well verse to his idiocies. Azzy though is one I'm disappointed in, he has a falling out here that he was as just as much to blame for yet spits his dummy out of the pram and then mouths off there despite through reading through his comments has a number of people already calling him an idiot there.

When will results be up?

More importantly when do I find out I've missed out on Mané :grr:

Dont have time to take WBA im afraid Hero. maybe if my league on ja doesnt work out.

I never liked Azzy #JustSayin

To echo what Lupo was saying Hero, keep up the fine work mate  Never seen the Realistic League ran so well!

Also LRF a dad at 11          

Both results and transfers will be up this evening  

Week 2 Results - Sorry their not as long as Trebs

Stoke City 2-0 West Bromich Albion

Stoke City run out winners against WBA with an easy 2-0 win after Finnbogson & Ireland score in a easy win.

Tactical Analysis - Stoke won today but against better sides the diamond formation may see them exposed.

Sunderland 1-3 Norwich City

A goal fest at the stadium of light with Norwich coming back from 1-0 down to win 1-3

Tactical Analysis - Sunderland playing a retired Owen Hargreaves was a terrible move as was Adam Johnson in the centre of the park, Norwich were well drilled and kept them at bay with ease

Aston Villa 1-1 Fulham

A close affair at Villa Park with both sides going away with a point.

Tactical Analysis
Both sides tactically tried to out do each other with both managers getting it terribly wrong. Villa control the game but Fulham look more like scoring.

Newcastle Utd 3-1 Crystal Palace

Comfortable result at St James' Park today as a rampant Newcastle take Palace apart and looked every inch the title contender as most expect.

Tactical Analysis: The quality of the Newcastle side were a class above the newly promoted side, Palace need to sort out the side quickly or risk relegation yet again

West Ham Utd 4-3 Cardiff City - Game of the day

A goal fest at Upton Park with the Hammers just edging a stubborn Cardiff side out.

Tactical Analysis: Both managers seemed to go with the we're score 1 more then you ploy but this eventually fell into West Ham's favor with the late winner. Both sides need to take a look at their leaky defenses and could use more firepower up front.

I Need new FBs but can't think of anybody

Hero you can take Dis side on my ja league. shes left

Nando can we have some goalscorers please mate so i can update league table and top scorers 

I can see how I messed up and in hindsight should have seen a trashing on the card, hopefully get back on track in the next game.

Also im chuffed about beating a superb Sunderland side away from home!

However im not getting carried away i usually start well in the Realistic leagues and end up cocking it all up.

Scorers added for you Nicholas  

Cheers Hero mate

League Table has been updated  Think im going to hit the bed now, so top scorers will be updated tomorrow

up and running with that 3 points

Has anyone found a replacement for Ollie yet?

No so if you have anyone in mind it'd be appreciated  

I could ask Chris Johnson....

He's busy with his 9th league I've heard.
Any ja guys you could tempt here Lubo?

Don't think so, sorry hero

Tooze was intrested at the start wasn't he? Maybe someone could get hold of him

Chris Wilko, GSC, Marky?

tactics sent

Tactics getting done now.

Sorry its late.

NP, remember to send yours to Nando as I'm your opponent this week.
Going to do the backpage from now on a Sunday if that's okay, usually a fair but more goss that day in the papers.

2nd vs 1st clash this week, should be the big game on MOTD
