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

All looks good so far marky.

Only thing i will ask is how the results are decided. Personally i think it should be down to the results people give rather than dividing goals.

So 3 people giving 1-0 wins carries more weight than one person giving 0-4 win.

1 goal per win predicted? Might make for some 4-3 type results, but seems fairer than weighting per the scoreline predicted

It's alright for middleground results but if someone loses 7-0 you never making that GD up ever.

If you lose 7-0 you don't deserve to make up the goal difference

Not really it could all be closed 1-0,2-1,3-2 scores to punish that with -7 is harsh.

Come up with a good way of generating results, I might be tempted.

FIFA league definitely a no go, coz that I would be up for

Happy with the rules above .. think FIFA league was dependent on Hero!

We've got 9 including Afro .. Nando are you in?

depends when everything needs doing tbh as work Friday/Saturday & some sunday's. i literally wont be online them days at all since 2-10pm

Would it be worth using Football Manager 2016 to create custom teams and simulate games?

Personally prefer tactics and standard league myself with either one person deciding or group decisions

Afternoon ladies.

Afternoon Transsexual

Just refer to me as Caitlyn from now on thank you.

Marky you just tell me what to do and I'll do it. Unless it's super-kinky that is. I'd presumably need to sign a waiver form for that.

no problem Bruce

So what's the shizzle with a new league then?

Looks like people want to revert back to a much simpler league which i'm down for.

Short, sharp and simple. Best methodology I say

I'm more up for the FIFA league TBH.

I'm after something different.

On a tangent, had a conversation tonight that went from from what's you England xi for the euros to best premier league xi to black v white, best teams, both prem and world xi

Any thoughts?

The fifa league depends on hero tbh. I don't think he has the time to stream the matches. And regarding your second question I would have Rio Ferdinand in both black and white teams. MixedRaceFTW

Something is better than nothing (as sodhat would say)

Rio and Sol v Terry and Adams, Rio wouldn't keep either Terry or Adams out of the team.

Rio is best defender in PL history for me. Close between Sol and JT to partner him

Or Vidic.

Ferdinand is the best English centre back of all time!

Terry spent all his career playing in a very very defensive minded side, with one DM who was instructed to protect Terry. Whenever they lost the DM or played slightly adventurous Football, Terry was exposed. Good defender I won't deny that but didn't look as good when he did not have 6 players in front defending.

So what's occurring here then, gonna make a go of a league?

Seemingly so once everyone figures out what kind of league.

Just go with Marky's rules, it's his league after all.

Moore
Wright (Billy, not Mark)
Adams
Campbell
Terry
Butcher
Ferdinand

Yeah lets go with Marky's rules and get this going

Azzy
BamBam
Holymiky
Marky
Nadeem
Olly
Trebs
Viva
Hero

Afro and Nando to confirm whether in or out

I'm in

ill take part

That's 10 of us, let's get it on like Donkey Kong.

I've already got my first signing eyed up #Naimar #Nassi #Naibrahimovic

Nando, I went along to watch Arsenal u21 at the weekend (they were playing at Macc's ground v Stoke), Crowley, Willock and Reine-Adelaide absolutely bossed the game.

That's because Jeff is quality He never appears to be moving that fast but seems to leave people behind anyway.

Just need Marky to come up with the plan then .. time to start planning my signings

Azzy
BamBam
Holymiky
Marky
Nadeem
Olly
Trebs
Viva
Hero
Nando

Afro said he would be in if we came up with a new way of doing results, which we're not

Just to remind everyone;

Draft system
A budget (to be determined) to be spent on anybody based on their value on TM.
Tactics short, teamsheet, substitutes, 100 words of tactics, few sentences for substitutions.
Everybody votes or lose a goal from their score, just scores and scorers acceptable although feedback is encouraged.
Choose your own real life team name although this will have no bearing on the players you can or can't sign.


Need to decide, 1 league of 10 teams or 2 leagues of 5 teams, the smaller leagues would have home and away fixtures (everyone plays 8 games), the larger league would have neutral venues (everyone plays 9 games).

In the case of the leagues of 5 teams, whoever is not playing could compile and decide the results for the other league potentially?

Would also have it as a Premier League and Championship if two leagues, 2 up from Championship, 2 down from Premier League, 3rd place in both leagues have a playoff.

I'd go for 2 leagues of 5, but fine with 1 league too .. although not sure how you would decide which is the Prem/Champ for first season

I've not looked at TM in months, did the prices get sorted out as I recall it all went a bit odd?

Luck of the draw. Unless people have a preference.

Works for me!

TM looks fine now

Would you like me to draw 2 leagues?

Also im assuming someone gets the week off then if 2 leagues of 5

I guess for the first season there could be no difference in league? The top two in each league are in the premier league for season two, then the third place teams have a playoff game?

Two leagues of five with the people off doing results for the other league is the way to go i think

If Afro wants in he can be my transfer man and I do tactics etc

All sounding good thus far lads xx

Afro can't join your club I'm afraid.  He's still under contract for me from the last league where he was my assistant manager. But I'm sure we can come to some sort of deal for his very pleasurable services olly.
