I agree with Afro. No immediate need to panic into Fifa 19.

It does depend also on to what degree EA change what is done tactically and how that then impacts on our league.

I'm happy to stick with a 3rd full season if that's the majority vote

Just wonder if there's a bit of a gap at the bottom of the league, the bottom 3 are looking slightly adrift even though they're making strong transfers, and Miky's team has been neglected all season

I'm one of those bottom three and I'd prefer to carry on.

My position is down to me, and I feel I can bridge that gap (otherwise I wouldn't bother playing if I didn't)

At some point your team is going to absolutely tonk someone, I just hope it's not this week it clicks!

Fair enough, I'm also in the camp of your team being too strong to be down that long

Wouldn't say the same for a couple of others

As others buy Hazard....I buy Zaza

Anyone want Asenjo - 85 rated keeper very cheap lawyer.

Why has the website URL changed to 606v2.forumotion.co.uk

Was this expected?

Also, I've had to reactivate Facebook because irritating family members kept banging on at me about it being the best way for them to share pics with me (in order to keep the peace, I've overlooked the fact I probably couldn't care less about those pics)

Can someone add me to the group? I've got strong privacy settings so can't be searched for, but can message whoever needs to add me

Send away ill try add you

What's your name on FB

It appears to be a global forumotion issue at present.

Can't do that im in the same boat as you just add Marky since we are all Marky

What's Marky's name

Look for me if you want, Richard Hudson, pic is of a guy who looks like a bearded Alan Carr with family.

Right, I'm hoping this is the right Richard Hudson I've just messaged

BamBam wrote:What's Marky's name

It's Marky.

Anyone want Benatia for £20m (his tm price)
Also since offered it to Afro - Vidal £43m in cash dollarz

Hero - just sent you my tactics

Same

I presume you've watched it Afro!

You did talk that one in.

Not sure what shocked me more. The score line or my makeshift defence keeping you without a single shot all game!

Your new signings certainly clicked.
My team was shockingly bad tbf, passing to your players left right and centre. Not sure what to make of it as didn't change anything on mine from last week apart from injuries.

Tbh there is a randomness. You could probably replay that game and my team won’t click, yours will and it would be a completely different result.

Ouch! Would be interested to know what happens if that is played again with no changes

Did it again straight after and was 1-1
It's good to see that results like that though can happen despite me being on the end of it, in the old voting leagues a victory by 2 goals was considered a massacre and often resulted in the losing manager really questioning why.

I'll take the 5-0 please

For me it was just a relief to see that they were able to pass to each other and control it. At half time I was thinking about whether they could hold on for the second half

When FIFA made the call to move Criscito into a RM role of a 343 formation it was going to end badly!

Right, I have tweaked the results page to make it easier to keep up to date, and I have also brought the Top Scorers up to date as at last week's game.

Cheers Afro!

Sent tactics Hero - looking forward to the game against Nadz this week.

Afternoon all.

Just thought I'd pop in to tell you that Januzaj has joined the world class bracket. Told you he would.

I will bite. After one goal that his team wish he hadn't made?

With Januzaj it just shows what players can achieve when they are at a football club rather than a commercial enterprise

Morning folks.

Results, table and top scorers all updated

I'm certainly the Keegan Newcastle of the league, 22 scored, 20 conceded.

This week appeared to be the week of surprises.

You need to go and sign Asprilla and Batty

You had the bumper result but didn't do anything for your league standings. Massive game between me and bam next week. Both teams are not on form at all.

I once swore at Asprilla in a street in Amsterdam.

No. Setting myself the target of a top half finish. Think I am mathematically out of the title race with you and Hero still to play each other

Morning all

My team is utterly w4nk at the moment, need to go back to what was working previously

Isco had an utter shocker, I didn't even bother waiting for the player ratings to tell me that

As I'd mentioned previously it did surprise me when you purchased him, just never found him that great on FIFA.

He was decent when Nadeem played him. Just got to get the system right that gives him time and space between the midfield and attack

Nadz played him as one of two strikers most of the time.

Don't play FIFA enough to know who is good on the game and who isn't, just saw his stats and thought I could make it work .. early days yet anyway

If at any point you want to trial a player in your team or a position etc let me know and I can run a demo match for you.

I may just take you up on that
