The Funky Bunch League page

First topic message reminder :

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
Trebs
Olly

Seeing as us 2 are the best fifa players here it would be unfair to trebs and bambino when they'd get rekt by us if we were in the same team.

Bambam could be a sick player, we don't know that until we play him.

Ha, I wouldn't go that far

I can be online most evenings during the week, and weekends are generally free too

I'll probably catch you sometime on the weekend.

Trebs wrote:Whats your name Nadz?

I say we do a 4 team tournament. Play each other twice and have a 1st vs 2nd cup final.

nadeem-2099

I'm up for a tournament. Make it a 4 star team limit and we're all set.

On fifa for a bit now if anyone is around

Olly/GSC/NFL People?

Is the new Madden game any good? My friend bought it and doesn't like it (his often wrong) and told me i could have it for £15. I may take and just sell it on but if decent may keep it despite knowing zero of NFL.

They're usually decent, always one of the best sports games I've thought. I'd buy it for £15, but am a big NFL fan too

Haven't played the latest one, but am sure its a slight improvement on last year, which was very good

So we have teams and budgets as follows as far as I can tell

Hero - West Brom - £15m
Bam - Leicester - £15m
Trebs - Villa - £15m
Viva - Palace - £15m
Miky - Sunderland - £15m
Andy - Watford - £20m
Olly/Soddy - Norwich - £20m
Nando - Bournemouth - £20m

What else do we need to get going? Team pages I assume would be the start, Hero/Miky is there anything else we need?

Looks like it's gonna be hard to play a 2v2 match on fifa 16. There's no match lobbies and the only way I can think of all 4 of us playing at the same time is by using the shareplay feature. I can't believe EA can't implement a simple Frak game mode!

I think we've agreed with 3/4 injuries per week and lawyers will be as normal.

All we need now is everyone to get team pages up, fixtures.

Viva have you used shareplay on your ps4 yet? How good is the connection etc.

Are we doing playing each other once or twice? I'd lean towards twice personally, home and away, make it 14 games

Or is that too long a season

I think one fixture is a good starting point.

Hero make sure you turn the goalkeepers sliders down if you can. They are ridiculously overpowered this year.

I tried it the once, connection is fine as long as your connection is decent.

I agree with Nadeem let's start of with one game for the first season.

Our fixture list is as follows then:

Round 1

Crystal Palace v Bournemouth     
Watford v Aston Villa  
Sunderland v Leicester  
Norwich v West Brom

Round 2

Aston Villa v Crystal Palace  
Leicester v Bournemouth  
West Brom v Watford
Norwich v Sunderland

Round 3

Crystal Palace v Leicester  
Aston Villa v West Brom  
Bournemouth v Norwich  
Watford v Sunderland  

Round 4  

West Brom v Crystal Palace  
Norwich v Leicester
Sunderland v Aston Villa
Watford v Bournemouth

Round 5

Crystal Palace v Norwich  
West Brom v Sunderland
Leicester v Watford
Aston Villa v Bournemouth

Round 6  

Sunderland v Crystal Palace  
Watford v Norwich  
Bournemouth v West Brom  
Aston Villa v Leicester  

Round 7  

Crystal Palace v Watford  
Sunderland v Bournemouth  
Norwich v Aston Villa
West Brom v Leicester

Just need people to get pages up then

Are the squads up to date?

What was the cut off date for the squads?

Presume as of the transfer window closing.
Bam you've got West Ham instead of West Brom on the fixture list

If everyone can start getting their team pages up please.

Are the squads up to date though?

I have NFL now Im truly awful like Viva at Fifa.

Oops, clearly can't read

If you need some tips on NFL watch films like The Waterboy or The longest Yard to get some info. Goldberg, Kevin Nash, SCSA and The Great Khali all star in TLY

Yep, perfect way to learn about the NFL!!!

I prefer the Keanu Reeves film: 'The Replacements'

BamBam wrote:Yep, perfect way to learn about the NFL!!!

Trust me it won't help My record is awful can't attack or a throw a ball can defend well though think the most ive conceded is 20

Are you playing online mainly? Its pretty tough, some of the Yanks are insanely good

I'd start with franchise mode, that usually keeps me going for a while and will let you build up your skills!

Yeah pretty much online I intend to trade it in tbh

Anyone fancy joining me for the v2 fancast?

no

No worries nando, already spoken to an Arsenal fan anyway so it would be pointless having YOU on.

I hope it was SoCal.

Good games on Fifa yesterday Nadz, played two games, both won one each. The first I won with 10 men after opening the scoring with a dodgy penalty. The second Nadz won, scoring direct from a free kick.

Viva how is life watching United being dull & lifeless despite having the likes of Mata/Depay/Martial & Herrera

I saw a stat earlier saying Ozil & Cazorla have the same amount of created chances as the whole of Utd

He's sorted out the dodgy defence but now can't hit a barndoor.

It's awful, we've got some really talented players that can make us play decent Football but LVG has some obsession with not losing the ball.

Rooney must get dropped, LVG is supposed to be a ruthless no Poopie taking manager but hasn't got the balls to drop Rooney. Possession is good when you're playing a faster tempo in the opposition half but with LVG tactics we allow the opposition to get back in shape.

I rate Cazorla massively and has made the CM role his own despite being a 5ft something dwarf. Ozil has always been good but is only getting appreciated because your strikers are taking the countless chances he creates, if he had Aguero in front of him he'd be hitting 20+ assists a season.

This is your best chance of winning the title, Chelsea are way way behind, United are not realistically title challengers and City I can only see winning the title if Arsenal mess up (I never really rated the 12 and 14 season City championships)

Looking at the positives we are in the top 4, LVG has made us harder to beat, hopefully he lays the foundations for our next manager.

Some of our fans are still stuck in the SAF era and expect us to continue the domination we had. They need to face the fact that period is over and it's going to be increasingly harder for one team to dominate.

Yeah that sending off was brutal.You nearly broke my players leg in half. I could tell it was you playing and not some professional you hired or summat like that.

I also played bambino last night. First game he won 3-1 as I was getting a feel of his play style. Second game I chose Belgium and it was a close one. My second half Subs worked with Lukaku and Miralles earning a 2 all draw for me. 3rd match was a clear indication that England are Poopie.

So you've lost to me Mighty and Bam Bam, that leaves you bottom of the ps4 ranking.

In nads own words .. he got rekt



Lol it was good games tbf, I have no idea how he came back in the 2nd game (think i missed 2 pens?!) then once he had a man sent off in the 3rd it was over

Yeah in the 3rd game Clyne got sent off and the stupid game wouldn't let me pause it to make a substitution. You scored your first goal from the side I had Clyne sent off. Then I had to put Milner on at RB and drop Rooney to CM and put on Welbeck for Wilshere. But what I did notice about you bambino is that you play for penalties Everytime you dribble into the box i "foul" you and I give the stupidest penalties away.

Haha, I don't play for pens because I'm rubbish at them! I do try and dribble a lot though , used to play more of a passing game but not as good at it this year

If can dribble your beat Marky with ease

Marky is still playing fifa 15 on ps4 Hurry up and upgrade to 16 marky I need someone to win against!

I don't want to spend my money on Fifa 16 when I'm happy with Fifa 15, I just bought F1 2015 and also buying Fallout 4.

I wish I hadn't brought 16 - it's not very good

Fifa 16 is so good I won't be buying 17. It's the best Fifa game since 99, and the best footy game since Pro Evo in about 2001. It suits me perfectly - zero pace abusing.

I'm waiting for backwards compatibility to be honest. Nothing really jumps out at me right now I want to buy.

Yeah you can bet that FIFA 17 will be back to pace abuse, too many people complaining about the lack of it this year

Is Fallout 4 worth a go considering I've never played any of the others? I like most open world type games

Do you like Skyrim/Morrowind etc?

If yes then it's the same as that but with guns.
