The World League II

First topic message reminder :

Anyone selling a LW?

What about if all the results are done by one person each week as we currently do it.

But a minor change - we nominate a person in the league (I'd happily do it) to receive the person's results via PM and post them. So only one person in the league knows who did results.

The quality of the feedback would have to be good though if it's anonymous.

So how do you decide who votes when ..

Can I add 2m this week? 1m for my tactics and 1m for Azzy's ?

Doing results publically did keep people in line about doing results. I had a no whinging rule as a result.

To be honest, I really couldn't be arsed to vote weekly, it's a chore.

Yes Bam.

It's more effort but it does give a good insight into what people think in general just more time confusing especially as we are likely to have just one league so there will be more games to vote on.

Can we get rid of the 2 TP's per week rule. I want to sign some players from foreigns.

Yeah sure, as long as we get rid of the rule that means I can't award myself a 5 goal head start a week

I do think 'no whingeing' has to be separated from the JA Style of 'These are the results and if you don't like it then stick it'.

Sometimes people have legitimate complaints against results, the person doing them may have missed something etc. and I would happily clarify any results anyone is unhappy with. I don't know if others would though.

As long as people were prepared to be mature about. Having a strop because you didn't get the result you wanted was the generally behavior it was aimed at.

The thing is, voting is fine when it's accepted as an opinion but some people don't like that at all which i can understand but at the same time football is a game of opinions.

There's no such rule like that on the rules page bam. If you have any complaints let us know and I'm sure we can work something out

Guys, 

Serious question.

How would you all feel if it was someone show wasn't in the league and either stayed anonymous or people can know if they like allowIng that person flexibility on time etc each week doing the votes? If they vote in a neutral way?

I did not understand any of that miky

How about a poll that people can vote on for scores? That makes it uber quick and anonymous!

Ok…
 
Just read that paragraph back…
 
Basically what I meant was, in terms of votes would you guys object to it being a person who isn’t in the league who votes each week? They would be allowed flexibility in terms of timings on voting (nothing is secured im just interested). We can leave it anonymous in terms of who the voter is or we can release it if it happens.

The thing with that is that anyone on the forum can vote on polls can't they? Also I like feedback personally I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Sounds interesting. It could work but I'm sure there will still be gripes about results and there will be no way to concern them.

I can't speak for others, but I can't imagine I'd have ever done boring when I wasn't in this league.

What do you mean GSC?

That should read voting not boring.

10 minutes into his United unveiling and Joses already taking unprovoked shots at Wenger. Wouldve hoped he could stop being a knob for that long but guess not.

I think I can tweak it so that it'd be in an area that only those in the league could see.

Could work, but there'd have to be some reasonable expectation of feedback.

Maybe use Trebs idea and have people PM some general feedback to one person if people are really opposed to knowing who voted.

What would we do about scores and scorers though? I'm guessing we could do an average on what the poll says in terms of the score line but how I don't know.

Goalscorers and scores don't matter imo.

What would be better is replacing goal difference with win difference or something? So 5 votes for a win, 1 to lose would be a plus 4 for instance?

Funny I didn't here anything from you when Pep took shots at United yesterday. Oh well I guess it only makes news when the best manager in the world is talking.

Pep's always dreamed of playing for City though

As far As I'm aware Jose didn't name any names all he said is some managers haven't won the title for 10 years and the media are asking Jose if he has anything to prove despite winning the title just over a year ago.

The truth is Jose is levels above Wenger when it comes to standards and it's unfair to compare Wenger to him when all he does is finish top 4. Jose won't settle for top 4 he is a winner, Wenger.

I can't wait when Jose continues his unbeaten competitive record against the specialist in failure next season.

Don't you worry old senile Wenger will have plenty of comments to say next season about The Special One.

That's largely because I haven't actually read anything Pep said yesterday beyond some pictures of him posing with the shirt.

But I see the United defense force has already sprung into action.

Even if you did read what Pep said you wouldn't have mentioned it because it doesn't suit your anti Jose agenda.

And I see the ABU's in full attack force.

I'm sure your pro Jose agenda is well grounded...

To be fair Viva, you wouldn't be defending Jose if he wasn't at United.

I'm pretty sure you have been quite vocal in your dislike for him.

You're a nice guy Miky so I'll throw in a free warning. Posting anything about United that could be interpreted as even slightly negative is like a red rag to a Bull on here.

Where did Bull go anyway

He returned to 6cw for a day then disappeared again.

I refuse to comment on United, Id probably get banned

10000000% correct I'm not even going to try and disagree but Jose is wearing the Red colours of United now and I'm going to support him.

I've had a go at his behaviour in the past, he was terrible during his last days at Chelsea attacking any and everyone. I don't agree with his comments regarding Wenger and I hope he can keep his trap shut as that's what Costs him. I've never doubted his greatness and if I ever did it was to WUM you and Marky.

Mourinho will bring disharmony and controversy to United. It's only a matter of when.

Valencia have signed Nani from Fenerbache. I signed him from Fenerbache just earlier today Glad to see him back in the bug leagues.

Eid Mubarak everyone! Gonna be overeating big time today

Casemiro
Lemina
Coman
El Ghazi
Iheanacho

Thoughts? Not sure what my strongest side is to be honest, tempted to stick with my flat 4-4-2 from last week with Matuidi and Thiago in the middle.

I'd play Pepe over Blind. Even if he is a twunk. Think you might be better off playing another midfielder over a 3rd CB though.

Pepe over Blind for me too.

Laporte is a quality signing btw. Front 5 is quality so clearly at the back to work on next and Laporte is a really good start at that.

Think you doing my transfers would've been wiser Afro, I show no restraint.

Personally id drop Blind and push one of Payet & Griezmann into AM and put Coman in tbh.

Anyone got a DM for sale

Possibly

Wanyama could be available.

Maybe. Just couldn't be arsed

Cheers for the feedback, I did wonder whether playing Casemiro or Coman would make the side better.

I just rang him. He's not available cos he's staying in to watch the Wales game.
