The Lotion League Locker Room

First topic message reminder :

Bada boom realist guys in the room, how you doin?

Yes I got a poopie team!

How many times did you have to randomise it Nando so you got Bournemouth?

Boro I'd have thought were one of the bests to get?

Surprisingly zero times That being said was hoping for WBA/Watford even Middlesborough fairly decent with Negredo.

Watford or Boro I was hoping for, Hull or Burnley the least.

Yeah boro got a decent team. Valdes, Fischer and Adama Traore to name a few. Stewart Downing to a lesser extent.

Wow just looked through the Hull squad, they are beyond gash.

Sorry, I'm not in on old school voting.

I was trying to come up with an idea to avoid it tbh

Why not just all other people involved just provide scores?

I think it could work with Afro's system as most people are fairly busy so less games to vote on the better really.

The better leagues are the ones where games don't get in the way.

So 7 managers, 2 matches each week with the other 3 voting on the winner?

What about predictions made with a final decision from the results doer? So there would be five opinions on each game. I'm sure there could be a system applied to say how each result is decided based on the number

I really don't mind the format, I just want to buy a load of wonderkids again!

We just need to get this going, otherwise we are going to be here for weeks.

My suggestion was trying to simplify it to the max.

Three people vote and each picks a winner (no draws).

A unanimous win gets a +2 "GD", a split win gets a +1 "GD".

League is decided on number of wins first and then "GD" points.

No scores, no goalscorers.

It was driven by my thinking of "what form of results calculation could come from me just looking at the tactics and saying, 'they'll win that' ".

Team in. Please for the love of god let's get this started before the next England manager is sacked!

I'm thinking that two games and three teams not playing isn't the best way to do it personally.

Can always have 2 people vote and give 1 a week off.

I didn't to start with but have come around to the thinking that in our leagues the matches always became secondary and got in the way of transfers and banter.

This dilutes the impact of matches by spreading them out a bit.

Trying not to make this sound like a ransom demand, just trying to be completely open. how we determine results will influence whether I play or not.

I don't mean it's my way or I'm off. I mean it needs to be minimal
time and effort, whilst remaining equitable.

Making the team and then improving upon it is what drives me.

Building a team with players I like or think are good drives me, and challenging for league positions.

Pretty much the same, I do love how the team I built at the start of last season had so many knockers in the league for getting kids etc, yet come the end of the real life season they were getting snapped up by all the top clubs in Europe.

I play to make all my clubs fans happy. Azzy I'm looking at you up there in the stands our kid. Come by after the first league match and I'll get you a free Berahino signed shirt

I will play irrespective of what happens. But i see it in a different way - I want to win.

I've already got Januzaj - no transfers are necessary

I don't think you understand how much restraint it took to stop me from getting Cleverley in the previous iteration.

One of the many things I will give Trebs in these games is that he isn't afraid to shake up his team even when in a title race, I on the other hand probably wouldn't even think of it.

If you get any vacancies some drop me a PM????

Ah CF! Welcome mate

We need to find an extra person to allow CF to join. Also no d*cking about this time CF cos last time you barely did anything.

*Quickly checks on TM how much Chiellini is nowadays...

yeah im in, and im in for the long haul if there's space for me

anyone around?? Im around tomorrow afternoon, for team page etc, if im part of this league, wont be around much this arvo though

We need to find a 9th to let you in CF.

Out of interest where did you guys paste your teams from? TransferMarkt?

Are you really still letting CF into these leagues.

To be fair, he can't join unless we get another one anyway.

I understand your sceptical GSC, but ive turned over new leaf, i used to enjoy being in these leagues, and want another crack, im in it for the long haul..

Is CF and LRF the same person?

Probably.

CF you can have my team if you are being serious about joining. I doubt yiur gonna find another manager so it's best if CF takes my place so you lot can get cracking. Hero, transfer my WBA page over to CF if you can please.

Trebs wrote:Is CF and LRF the same person?

Haha no im not LRF lol, nads thats very kind of you mate, but make sure your 100% certain first

TBH I don't think we are actually going to get it moving. There's just not the desire for it.

I've got my list of about 200 Serbian u14s ready to go!

Ok Jimmy. You might want to keep that more discrete

We could have both Nadeem & CF in if did 3 matches a week and just 2 vote.

Why not just go with the 7 and if anyone ends up not having time or whatever then CF can be a backup?

i don't mind aslong as it gets started tbh

Same here

need someone to draw fixtures since a generator wont work for this.

Oh yeah that's a bit of a mindf**k working out fixture lists!
