Enjoy Scotland!

Are we sticking to Friday night being the deadline for tactics to avoid losing the bonus?

Yes. The way I am thinking about it is FIFA replaces the voting, and nothing else changes

Although the one question is that half the bonus was for tactics and half was for voting - is it now £1.5m for tactics or just £750k

1.5m is ok. 750k is too less. Maybe a figure in between them like 1m?

I would keep it to 1.5m

As another suggestion though, replacing or with the Press Conference's, we could give feedback on the games and offer a cash value?

I mean we have pretty much done that already on the first one - jokingly I know. But at least this time you aren't providing feedback to back up the result you put forward. This time you are just commenting on a game you witnessed.

Easier and more enjoyable

I'd be happy to get feedback on the games from everyone else's point of view

lads

still 75% releases?

How do you define 'feedback' tho. Say I'm playing olly and I win him 1 nil thanks to a debatable penalty. Olly goes off on one about the ref being corrupt etc. Would that be feedback?

BamBam wrote:I'd be happy to get feedback on the games from everyone else's point of view

I will only be watching my matches tbh. It will take way too long if you want me to give feedback on other people's matches unless it's 1 match per week, I don't mind watching that but II'm not gonna spend nearly 2 hours thoroughly watching all the other people's matches per week.

Tino - yes 75% of value for releases

On the bonus, I would keep it as £1.5m for tactics on time. Watching and feeding back on the games is enjoyable, so people are going to do it anyway.

I'm not going to share too much on what I viewed as strengths and weaknesses of teams, as I would want to try and use that in my tactics when I play those teams.

My game was 15 mins, I plan to find an hour a week to watch the other games

Could just be one particular game I guess

75's is ok, gotta go for a meeting with the head of walsall council so i'll tart my squad up later, might make a dabble in the market

I just don't have the attention span to watch fifa for that long tbh. I already get my fifa fix from playing ultimate team I don't want to OD on it

But I don't mind giving expert feedback on 1 game per week. No more than that.

Doesn't need to be a formal thing unless there's bonuses behind it

You'll probably get my inane ramblings regardless

I've sent my tactics to Hero, seeing as he's already sent his to Miky. Not expecting much anyway

is feedback really needed? unless we do a MOTD style analysis

BamBam wrote:Doesn't need to be a formal thing unless there's bonuses behind it

If it were a formal thing, eg. I only had to give feedback to 1 game per week. The feedback had to well written not just 1 sentence. There was a small bonus. I would be up for that. Between us I'm sure we could each give feedback to at least one game.

I wouldn't bother formalising it and attaching a bonus to it. Becomes too subjective.

Just do what we did for the first game and keep the bonus to submitting tactics

Yeah you are right. Still the Press Conferences will be a lot more interesting now. "What did you make of that penalty miss?"

As someone that plays Fifa i knew soon as the stuttering started what was happening and fell out my chair laughing

Tbf, I didn't actually see what the penalty was for and assumed it was a handball rather than a foul

Me neither. I thought it was a push

Anyone doing a sheep?

Well volunteered there Trebs

How are you now Marky? You all good?

Tactics sent to Hero, goodluck Nadz.

Yes cheers mate. Still on antibiotics but basically over it.

what a mare of a week, gonna finally do tactics

Yeah back at ya Will be looking forward to see how my yolo team will do on fifa. I'm expecting at least 1 goal!

Ederson
Pepe Sule Vertonghen
Brandt Casemiro Valencia Bailey
Silva Bats Lemar

Interested to see how Silva does in that formation

Same. It is a very attacking formation but I'm just experimenting the first couple of weeks to see which formation I can fit in all the players I want to play.

I went;


Even though Rooney will only have decent ratings until Fifa 19 comes out

I went with this, could be risky with 3 at the back in FIFA.

Robben----------Immobile----------Thauvin
Alba------Fernandinho--Tolisso-----Zappacosta
---Azpilicueta--Chalobah----Christensen
------------------Berisha-----------------

I have so many targets I am hating the 2x foreign limit

Remember BT Sport at 12:15 lads. It will be a better game than the Merseyside derby.

If you lot watched Merseyside derby then you are idiots. What a game!

I played crazy golf instead. Definitely got the better deal.

Game 2 done - Melbourne City v Central Coast

http://www.twitch.tv/hero606v2/v/248087160?sr=a&t=0s

Slight issue discovered during Olly's game in that due to his small squad size I had to put one of his injured players on the bench, FIFA then decided to bring him on halfway through the 2nd half. Fortunately he didn't have any impact but I'd suggest going forward we implement a rule of minimum squad size (21) so that the 3 injured players never can be in the subs.
So to get teams up to 21 that currently aren't I'd say they can have extra transfers that are required but these additional players have to be of £0 value.

Lads

Evening fella, I'll be doing your game in a bit once the Mrs has gone to bed.

Yea sound. No rush. How was your weekend

All good, always enjoy going to Edinburgh, stunning city. Only issue was I took a new pair of shoes with me that seem to be fitted with razor blades inside as my feet were shredded come the end of the trip, was bleeding from three different places on my feet! How about yourself?

All good, strange one yesterday, sorting virgin media, tending my allotment, buying a new cooker standard adult things
Today went to the zoo was alright to be fair

Wife and kids did the zoo whilst in Edinburgh too, got to see the pandas etc.

Hadn't the panda given birth recently
