I'm happy to update all the tables and so on for team of the week / season and check it all works, but people should be able to input the data pretty easily

I am happy to enter all the scorers and assists - I have been doing it in order to get the table updated anyway. I'd probably prefer to do them all then be waiting for someone else before I can do the table

In which case its just entering the lineups and player ratings. I'm sure the other 8 of us can manage that

Are the images of the ratings at the end of matches okay to gather that off btw. I try to leave it on long enough for people to be able to pause etc

Yep, that's where I get the scorers/assists from. I imagine the same for ratings

Yep, easy to screenshot (into paint is enough!)

I think we need unanimous agreement to get Week 4 underway tomorrow.

So far I think the following have given their nod:
Me
Bam
Hero

How about:

Week 3
- current lawyers are open until midday tomorrow

Week 4
- new lawyers and injuries up after midday tomorrow
- tactics submitted by COB Monday

Week 5
- new lawyers and injuries up Wednesday midday
- tactics submitted by COB Friday



The enthusiasm at the moment may even mean we can get to regularly doing two games a week!

Fine with this schedule

Bit confused. What day would be the squad cut off day now then? Because I'm out for most of the weekend doing London Marathon stuff and would like some time to do some research for possible foreigns on Monday before buying. Plus my working week is going to be bedlam because I'm off on holiday to Mexico for 2 weeks on the 29th.

I like the schedule but I'm asking for bit of leeway if I can submit tactics at the latest of COB Tuesday please.

I don’t see why we couldn’t do squad cut off end of Monday and tactics end of Tuesday

It’s not set in stone yet though. Just floating an idea out there

Gotta say the enthusiasm for the FIFA league is something else.
I'm happy with shizzle moving forwards. At this rate we'll be having weekend league games and midweek cups

In regards to the spreadsheets where are we upto with them, I possibly have an hour or two free today to do this weeks but don't want to if the formats being amended at present etc.

I’m finished with what I was doing, so no problems on my part.

I'll do mine and Tino's game this morning, and make sure the weekly tables are working

Done

Would be great if people could do their own games, literally took me 5 mins

i'll be on it next week

I’ll have a look at mine and Twists later

Personally think we should leave the league games where they are, and introduce an optional midweek cup competition if people feel that urge to have more than one game per week.

We'd only be muddying the waters otherwise.

I’m happy either way. With games being done this week even before the squad cut off had passed, was trying to fill the thumb twiddling time

I think I agree with Marky. I like the set structure and things on a certain day.

If we say cup games have no injuries and it's best team against best team, then I think doing tactics for it is literally a 5min job.

Maybe have a friendlies page, and if we have time on our side, and Hero does too, arrange the extra games for people to see what works and what doesn't. Almost like how real life clubs have behind closed doors friendlies during the season when they have a break.

Could try new formations, fringe players, etc

They wouldn't count towards young players getting their 2 games for their TM value obviously

Whenever I do have spare time I'm happy to run friendlies for people, did a couple last weekend for Afro just to check he can actually score! (he won both 2-0)

Wingers, do we count them in regards to TOTW as midfielders or forwards as there's 4 midfielder slots and 2 forward ones?

I'm thinking we should have gone with a 433 formation with wingers counted as forwards

Anyone doing sheep today?

Loads of them here in Wales

Anyone doing lemmings today?

Easy to change if thats the consensus

Morning guys. Are we keeping the usual structure for the week for this week? Just so I know if I got a bit of time for tactics

Morning, yeah may as well stick to usual structure now

lads

Should we get underway with a cup competition as well?

Team of Week 3

-----------Heaton

Alves Umtiti Bonucci Bailly

Marchisio Banega Alena Dembele

-------Werner Higuain

Happy to change this to 4-3-3 going forwards if that's the consensus

Hero wrote:Should we get underway with a cup competition as well?

I'm indifferent, will put tactics in if the majority want it

do you have the time to do it?

I've also put in drop down lists for positions on the weekly tabs .. may speed things up very slightly, but more importantly makes sure my tables work

The TOTW does seem to like my team which I'm taking as a positive that my tactics are crowd pleasing at least *cough Mourinho Afro/Miky

I reckon so, usually get an hour or two free at the end of each night once the Mrs has gone to bed.

It'll be interesting to see if Suarez makes TOTW, he got 8.2 and MOTM but he probably had the fewest touches of any of my attackers

Posted above, but not this week

Top 5 forwards were

Timo Werner 9.1
Gonzalo Higuain 8.9
Yannick Carrasco8.6
Iago Aspas 8.6
Inaki Williams 8.5

On the Google Docs it's not showing the Sydney/Brisbane player ratings for me?

You're right, they haven't been filled in

I just looked at the weekly summary and assumed that was all the teams done, didn't check

Ill have a look at it now

Position Player Team Rating

Goalkeepers Tom Heaton Wellington Phoenix 7.7

Defenders Andreas Christensen Brisbane Roar 8.2
Defenders Samuel Umtiti Wellington Phoenix 8.0
Defenders Leonardo Bonucci Western Sydney Wanderers 8.0
Defenders Dani Alves Western Sydney Wanderers 7.9

Midfielders Claudio Marchisio Western Sydney Wanderers 8.6
Midfielders Ever Banega Western Sydney Wanderers 8.4
Midfielders Carles Alena Adelaide United 8.3
Midfielders Moussa Dembele Adelaide United 8.1

Forwards Timo Werner Adelaide United 9.1
Forwards Gonzalo Higuain Wellington Phoenix 8.9

Only difference was Christensen in place of Bailly (grrr)
Tino certainly had his best week players wise with 4 in there.
