The Funky Bunch League page

Being that the league is going to be FIFA 16 based its daft that we're still under the FIFA15 umbrella. We also need to have a second confirmation on who's in being that the initial role call was some time ago now.

Please confirm below!

I'll make a start this evening on updating the squad lists that have already been done.

Confirmed


Hero
Viva
Bambam
Marky
Nando
Miky

Well when you're finished in him let us know if you're participating in the league please.

I'm in.

Out.

Spoiler:

If we don't get the full number there was before then there will be clubs spare, not sure what people's thought are on swapping clubs etc, I'm more than happy to keep West Ham (conquerors of City, Arsenal etc)

PM the guys who said they was in and don't replied yet

I reckon the jaers would join to make 20. They have no league at the moment.

They won't come over ain't got the bottle to manage in a decent league...

If we had 20, wouldn't the squads be seriously unbalanced

i suspect would be balanced out wonga wise tbh.

To be honest, if we don't get the 20 then I'm ok with keeping the top teams out of it.

I think the point with 20 would be that it's relative. If you're Watford and finish 10th, you've had a good season. If you're Man Utd and finish 10th, you've had an awful season.

Does this league require less time for putting in tactics and that?

If it's a smaller time commitment then I can join to make up numbers.

Think its going to be just picking from the standard FIFA tactics, so definitely less than writing them up.

Be good to have you!

Soddy,

We are going to have a template for people to stick to each week and have them select how they want their team to play, formation, lineup etc.

These will be only selectable from what is an option on FIFA 16 itself, we went through quite a lot of effort getting the formations out of FIFA 15 so we will have to do similar for FIFA 16 I think and grab them so that people can use them for tactics.

Hero or whoever runs the games for that week will put all the tactics for both teams into play and let the computer play the match out.

So I don't need to have Fifa 16, because I'm going PRO EVO this year, unashamedly?

I also haven't pretend managed forever so you'll all need to be super nice and gentle with me, like the first time you ever made love.

I'll explain what making love is to Olly later.

Same here, my first Pro Evo since 2009.

There's websites like sofifa to help out the uninitiated.

I still haven't preordered 16

Mine arrives on Thursday but I had 10 hours free play early with EA access.

I'll be streaming all the games via Twitch so people can either watch live or whenever they wish.

Olly knows that, its what his Uncle Cleetus showed him that day in the barn

Robert Lewandowski is having a fun day.

Comes on at HT then scores 5 in 8 minutes vs Wolfsburg too.

I saw him score the 2nd goal, watched for a little longer and saw him get 3 and 4.

Then I left the room briefly, came back, and he had 5 goals.

It was like someone was hacking

I watched the second half and thought it was highlights.

I was a goal machine last night, I flicked between three games and saw goals in all of them. Pastore for PSG, some German bloke for Hamburg, and Lewandowski's mad spree.

How good is BT Sport? It's better than Sky for me.

I only have BT Sport and Michael Owen/Owen Hargreaves aside I very much enjoy it, swap them for RedNev and it'd be perfect.

Owen Hargreaves does not STFU when commentating.

At least M. Owen is a bit quieter, but my God does that man make football sound boring. Put Collymore on there, at least he has a bit about him.

Collymore is a c*nt of the highest order

He is, but he's an entertaining c*nt of the highest order.

Michael Owen though manages to drop into the conversation every single game about something he did when he was playing. There will be a young kid like Martial scoring a great goal, and he'll reference it to his goal as a kid saying how great that was.

Olly wrote:Collymore is a c*nt of the highest order

Immediate passion there, that's what we need.

Michael Owen makes me sad and sleepy.

Oh, Collymore's a w**er....

Owen sucks but I could do without Collymore's ridiculous commentary.

I bought pes yesterday. Sorry but it's the best footbatgame I've ever played yes even better than pes 5

Just about to buy a PS4 .. better to get the new model 500gb or the old model 1tb?!

500gb one will cost me £252 with FIFA, 1tb would cost £275

No idea how much space things take up etc, so favouring the 1tb but don't know if the new model is that much better

I'd go 1TB for the difference, you do quickly eat up the space.

I've got the 500gb and I've got around 300gb remaining. If you download games you're better off getting the 1tb.

There's only £23 difference, you're probably better off getting the 1tb.

Cheers guys, went for the 1TB in the end. Now to convince my manager I need to work from home tomorrow

Where did you get that deal Bam?

I'm salivating over consoles at the minute too but they're all 300-350

Here Soddy

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00ZG1TXV0?keywords=ps4&qid=1443094241&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2

Amazon are doing a deal where if you buy £40 of gift cards they send you another £10 free, so did that and added the lot to my account. Then because I know a student with an NUS extra card get an extra 5% off, total £275

Considered this for the Xbox too, Shopto are usually pretty good

If you didn't spend £250 on one night in a hotel you'd have had a PS4.

Xbox are dropping in prices, you can easily find one under £300 with fifa.

You are spot on there. I also spent quite a bit on new golf clubs, but I'm still crap.

I might buy an Xbox/PS4 (don't care which) that comes with Fifa 16 free, then trade Fifa in for Pro Evo or Madden.

I do have one of the old iPod classics that everybody wants on eBay, I could sell that for some scratch.

Going to finish off updating the teams this evening. Did do a load a few nights ago but now have the physical copy of FIFA.

Question for you Xbox folks.

Do I have to have a membership thingy with Microsoft to use the Xbox to get online, or is that solely if I want to play games online?

I don't want to game online because I hate people. But I do want to watch TV and stream via the Xbox.
