Title: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: Jason91 on April 25, 2016, 02:44:03 PM
The old thread has gone so I thought i'd start a new one  :D

Anyway, the league has become quite competitive recently and at this late stage in the season there are many teams who could win the title.

Good luck everyone and I hope the future seasons will be as exciting as this one !

He doesnt mean theres anything wrong with conference 6 mate, he means your team is much too competitive to be wasted so far down the leagues. Buy yourself up to 6-1-2 where there are a few computer teams, or even wait until you see who wins the playoffs for promotion and if its a computer team you can join 6-1-1 on the first day of the new season   8)

Thats IF you want to stay in conference 6  ;)

Congratulations to Im a Blade FC on winning Conference 6 this season. Well Done!

Also we have lost a few teams recently and I hope we can get 611 full again, we have a number of managers who are capable of winning the league and some new teams should make things more exciting.

I would like to say a big thank you(NOT) to Hunt Park Rovers who for the first game of the season in the first minute of the game changed to Psycho and have put three of my players out for 8 weeks, 8 weeks and 1 week.  Perhaps it is Karma that he also injured one of his own players in the process. 😒

Looking forward to joining Conference 6 next season with Mariners Park. I built the team with 10 players over 30 though, so I’m gonna have to win the league within 3 seasons of getting here, otherwise it’ll be a long wait til I get another shot at it!

4 games to go and Conference 6 is separated by 7 points in the top 7 places!

I've won the last 8 in a row, but I'm relying on other results going my way to steal the title!

Thanet Invicta and Exodus will fight this out I reckon though, I'm hoping to break in to the top 4 though to get myself a spot in the TCL next season  ;)

Borg's on for an Easy win tonight.

I have 2 out of 3 of my Central Defenders injured so I have to play an attacking defender out of position tonight.

I looked at changing to 3-5-2 attacking, but realised my other striker is injured.

Yup, somehow got away with it and won 2-1.

Looks like borg got done in by the match engine though, 2 red cards despite playing Pansy, I’m sure it would have been a different result if it was 11 v 11 the whole game  :o
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: The Borg on April 04, 2018, 07:16:30 AM
Well not quite. Not when you get 2 straight reds on pansy in the same min. That randomness could cost me heavily come end of season.
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: shellyboy100 on April 04, 2018, 07:52:49 AM
Yeah, I’m agreeing with you Borg lol.

I had a player out of position the whole game, It’s not like when you get a Striker out of position and can play any other striker there too, I had a play an attacking player in a normal player position (if that makes sense?)

It is harsh to get 2 reds on Pansy regardless of the Ref I reckon.

Congratulations to Exeter City (Borg) on the 6-1-1 Title.

Had such a difficult last 5 game run in and unfortunately fell at the final 2 hurdles after leading the pack.

6-1-1 is a very competitive league now with definitely the Top 10 teams all capable of beating one another.

Anyone is more than welcome to join the party... We have a CPU team getting promoted so there will be a space come Day 1.

Thoroughly enjoyed it all season. I thought I was in with a shot at the title early on but it was not to be. Chuffed with 3rd in my 1st season.

Well played to Arsenal invincibles and Exeter for being a cut above the rest. Fully deserved to be the best 2.

Next season will be excellent. We have a conference to be reckoned with. Let's win the champions league. Maybe for a 4th time in a town MrC

Well with just the 6 games remaining and a hefty 13 point cushion, league leaders ARSENAL INVINCIBLES are cruising to the 6-1-1 crown & will only need to avoid a minor miracle to finish the season as champions. Mr C's men have an impressive defensive record with only 4 goals conceded, which ranks best across the 8 top conferences.

With top spot seemingly set in stone, the race for 2nd place appears a little tougher to predict. Division top scorers KING KENNYS ARMY won again last night & hold on to 2nd place for another night, with MARINERS PARK jumping up to 3rd, taking advantage of a defeat for IM A BLADE FC, who went down 2-1 in a surprising loss to THE KILLERS.

EXETER CITY F.C. are still in with a shout though and will have improved their chances with a hard fought victory over PYROS. 2 first half goals were enough to see off the Welsh outfit & made sure the trip back down the M5 to Devon was a happy one for the City fans. NAVAL AND MILITARY also picked a slender win over relegation threatened RKS CITY which keeps them in contention with the pack, with CSI-MARGATE consolidating a top 8 finish by smashing bottom club and already relegated PARTACAUSEDECATGAMES 11-1.

TEAMO SUPREMO went down to a narrow defeat to the league leaders last night but manager Jonathon Bernard has instructed his team to "finish strongly" in an attempt to secure qualification for the ICC Cup next season. Same could be said of UNIV. CRAOIVA, who may fall just short but have almost guaranted another season of Conference 6-1-1 Football with a routine 3-0 victory over doomed BROUGHTON ASTLEY FC.

Ironically there may be a "Mass Exodus" at EXODUS should relegation occur, with many high profile players threatening to hand in transfer requests due to the club staring relegation in the face. A 7-0 hammering defeat will mean it most likely will go down to the wire, as they only trail RKS CITY by 3 points. A nailbiting finish to the season is guaranteed for both sets of fans.

This leaves one other team yet to be covered, Gull's very own PARK MY SEAGULL. It was always going to be a tough ask for the team from Devon, a much changed squad built on a shoestring budget and joining very late to the league. The physicality of 6-1-1 has proved to be too much for the youngest squad in the division, but they can take heart from the very much improved performance in the last nights clash with MARINERS PARK. Relegation now a foregone conclusion, the fans have looked ahead to 6-1-2 and will hope they can bounce back up with the first attempt.

ALL THINGS CONFERENCE 6

1st = ARSENAL INVINCIBLES  2nd = IM A BLADE FC 3rd = KING KENNYS ARMY 4th = CSI-MARGATE 5th = PYROS  6th = UNIV. CRAOIVA 7th = THE KILLERS 8th = NAVAL AND MILITARY 9th = FC SIDRAT 10th = THE BLURRED CRUSADE 11th = RKS CITY 12th = MARINERS PARK 13th = RCS UTD 14th = HUNT PARK ROVERS 15th = MARCHING ON UNITED 16th = WE PLAY LIKE GIRLS


CONFERENCE 6 NEWCOMERS - HOW ARE THEY DOING?

9th = FC SIDRAT
10th = THE BLURRED CRUSADE
13th = RCS UTD
14th = HUNT PARK ROVERS


11 games in and on the whole a respectable start for the newcomers to 6-1-1. FC SIDRAT are in 9th, and they will really feel they can push on from a good start. The ICC carrot has been dangled infront of their fans and are hoping they can be in touching distance of the top 8 towards the end of the season. THE BLURRED CRUSADE lie 10th, and will look to their impressive 1-0 win over The Blades early in the season as a particular highlight. The result shows that they care capable of sustaining 6-1-1 football for the forseeable future. RCS UTD & HUNT PARK ROVERS lie 13th & 14th in the relegation spaces, and they will be hoping things improve as a drop back to 6-1-2 is looming.


CONFERENCE 6-1-2 TEAM PROFILE

STEAUA SUDULUI

We take an in-depth look at a team who are on odds on for promotion from 6-1-2 and a side that could make a real impact in their first season in the top flight. Hailing from Romania, Beckham's side have made light work of 6-1-2 and will surely finish as champions. 7th in the managers table and top of the FL4 Season 70 managers should be wary of this dangerous outfit from Bucharest. No real weaknesses either player-wise, Steaua look a well oiled machine. They have already turned down a reported 50,000 credit bid from an unnamed 1-1-1 side for star striker Cosmo Kramer (http://smokey2.sundayleague.com/cgi-bin/sundayleague/playerinfo.pl?playerid=22431&returnurl=oppsquad.pl%3Fpage%3Dbasic%26teamid%3D2651%26tab%3D0%26fixtureid%3D-1), who has smashed a sensational 114 goals in just 24 appearances.


MANAGER GULL TO DEPART PARK MY SEAGULL?

Surprising news coming from Devon as Gull looks set to depart Park My Seagull, just days after announcing his 1 year plan to get to the FL3. Rumour has it the financial backer has pulled out, leaving the immediate future of the club in doubt. There will be no shortage of offers for the highly rated manager Gull, with new team FREMINGTON looking like a likely destination.

CONFERENCE 6-1-2 TEAM PROFILE

FREMINGTON

Another team joining STEAUA SUDULUI in 6-1-1 next season are Devon outfit FREMINGTON. In charge of the club is high profile manager Gull, who swapped the South coast of Devon for the North following his departure from ex-6-1-1 team PARK MY SEAGULL. FREMINGTON have been relatively untroubled in 6-1-2 with just three defeats this season being enough to all but secure them 2nd place. With some eye-catching results in recent private leagues and a rumoured Starting XI combined rating of 689, many people tip FREMINGTON to challenge for a Top 8 place but manager Gull says just finishing above the relegation places would be an acceptable achievement. FREMINGTON will most likely line up with their favoured 4-5-1ATT formation but have also had success in with a more solid 5-4-1ATT -  One thing for sure Gull doesn't like sitting back and his attacking side have received many plaudits.

NEW LOOK CONFERENCE 6-1-1 UNDERWAY SOON . . . . ....
. . . . . .... AS ARSENAL INVINCIBLES MOVE ON TO PASTURES NEW

Well, the rumours were indeed true. Danny Cobra's title winning side first flirted with the idea of a Conference switch a few weeks ago, and has made the switch permanent popping up in 4-1-1 just in time for the new campaign. The Invincibles have been an unstoppable force in recent times in Conference 6-1-1 and he may felt a tougher challenge was required. With many teams licking their lips at a potential wide open Championship, they of course should remain cautious, with another team from the Invincible franchise LONDON HEAT COLTS coming in as a seemingly equal quality replacement.

It will be a emotional first day for newcomers FREMINGTON, STEAUA SUDULUI, EXODUS and BROUGHTON ASTLEY FC who set foot in 6-1-1 following their promotion from 6-1-2.

Thanks Becks... Predictions? Well I think Im a Blade FC look in pretty decent nick. Can't see why you can't challenge for the title either. Of course King Kennys Army will be up there, my team has a few injuries and are low on gelling at the moment so not looking forward to tonights game with Mr Parker. I'm aiming for a Top 8 finish but will be happy to end the season above those pesky relegation places.

Univ.Craoiva celebrate after Thursday evenings game

UNIV. CRAOIVA WIN BATTLE OF ROMANIA

UNIV. CRAOIVA 1 vs 0 STEAUA SUDULUI

Steaua Suduluis blistering unbeaten start in 6-1-1 came to an end on Thursday evening as the fell to defeat to Romanian league rivals Uni.Craoiva. In all fairness, this was always going to be a tricky fixture on paper as Uni.Craoiva themselves have had a great start to the season. A 60th minute strike from Justin Credible was enough to seal the deal, with an inspired defensive performance from MOM Chanda Lear helping to thwart any Steaua comeback. Steaua will look to bounce back when they travel to Newcastle to take on The Killers, whilst it doesn't get any easier for Uni as they travel to new league leaders King Kennys Army.



ELITE CUP REPRESENTATIVES

There was a break from 6-1-1 action last night as the Elite Cup got underway.
The results from the teams that were representing the 6-1-1 Conference are below:

KRAKOV 0 vs 3 KING KENNYS ARMY

WITH THE HALLOWEEN PERIOD FAST APPROACHING STEAUA ARE SHOW SOME FRIGHTENING FORM

6 wins a row and 2 points clear, new league leaders STEAUA SUDULUI are certainly showing some scary form as their rapid rise from 6-1-2 to top place in 6-1-1 continues to catch the eye. The cliched saying of winning games despite not being at your best especially rang true yesterday evening, as FREMINGTON pushed Steaua all the way before narrowly losing 1-0. Steaua hitman Cosmo Kramer continues to hit the headlines, as not only does he lead the goalscoring chart in 6-1-1 but also the entire x-1-1 conferences.

It's double double toil and trouble just beneath the league leaders, as IM A BLADE FC and KING KENNYS ARMY are tied up on 31 points. The Blades surrended top spot as they were held to a tightly contested 0-0 draw to improving CSI-MARGATE, whereas league kingpins KKA put 10 past dead and buried LONDON HEAT COLTS. Relegated from 6-1-1 2 years ago, EXODUS appear to be resurrected from the dead as they lie an impressive 4th. It was just the 16 for them without a reply last night, as The Grim Reaper is sharpening his scythe down at BROUGHTON ASTLEY FC where they lie rock bottom after another heavy defeat.

There's some eerie goings-on down at the bottom, as MARINERS PARK and NAVAL AND MILITARY have star-studded teams, yet there appears to be a complete lack of tactical approach play which mean there's a lot of easy pickings for the majority of 6-1-1. They lie 14th and 15th respectively and are staring in the face of relegation.

It's a case of trick or treat as there are many teams eyeing up the final spot for an Inter-Conference Cup place. With a good run of form any one of UNIV. CRAOIVA, THE BLURRED CRUSADE, THE KILLERS, PYROS or FREMINGTON could stake a claim. FC SIDRAT and RKS CITY lie comfortably in the Top 8 and are having solid seasons.

BIG GAME TONIGHT AT THE TOP OF 6-1-1...

3am KO: STEAUA SUDULUI vs IM A BLADE FC

With STEAUA SUDULUI suffering a demoralising 0-1 defeat last evening, they host league leaders  IM A BLADE FC in a huge 6 pointer. They don't come any bigger, and a win for the Blades would see them open a 6 point gap with 12 games to play. Steaua won't argue with the fact that they need nothing other than 3 points should they want to keep in the hunt for their first 6-1-1 title.

Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: Gull on November 08, 2018, 11:26:37 AM
Congrats to Steaua on the title win! Infact 3 of the 4 promoted teams finished well, Exodus in 3rd and myself in 5th. On a personal level went the 2nd half of the season on a 15 game unbeaten streak. Shame I had such a poor first half, although the majority of my games were away.

STEAUA SUDULUI's wish came true as they stormed to the 6-1-1 title with a convincing 10 point cushion. The key to their success was their effectiveness at both ends of the pitch, with their strikeforce amassing 101 goals and their watertight defence only leaking 7. They didn't have it all their own way though, and IM A BLADE FC pushed them all the way before ultimately falling short along the finishing straight. EXODUS had a very decent season, coming up from 6-1-2 and clinching 3rd place on the final day of the campaign. A final day defeat meant CSI-MARGATE of the CSI franchise fell to 4th, whereas FREMINGTON finished the 2nd half of the season strong with a 15 game unbeaten run. Resillent and hard to beat FC SIDRAT came in 6th place and may feel they can push for the title next season if they can turn some of their draws into wins. There's more questions than answers about KING KENNYS ARMY downfall as they've fell like a stone this season into 7th. UNIV. CRAOIVA picked up a couple of good wins and cemented their place in the top 8, qualifying for the ICC next season.

THE KILLERS, RKS CITY, THE BLURRED CRUSADE and PYROS all end up in no mans land, but all survive relegation comfortably.

But KLIPPERTY KLOPP, FC PINGWING, NAVAL AND MILITARY and BROUGHTON ASTLEY FC all suffer relegation.

6-1-1 starts off tonight, as brilliantly put on another Conference thread "The chance to be the Xmas No1" with the season of course ending around the Christmas Day mark.

I've had a reality check in pre-season and have had a set of poor results, losing convincingly a number of times. That being said hopefully an increase of gelling and a week of no injuries can improve things!

Towards the back end of last season I went 15 games unbeaten, and 12 games at the start of this season = 27 games in total. Had a great run! But congrats to Steaua Sudului, just can't seem to get a win against my bogey team. Can't expect to get a positive result with 0mins of TA. Hoping to bounce back tonight.

I agree Gull. Quite a few managers have turned into CPU's in 4-1-1 as well. In fact, there has been a number of great managers leaving the game which makes me worry about the pyramid league structure. Do we really need 8 conferences with so many leagues when most of them are taken up by computer teams?  :(

6-1-1:  END OF SEASON REVIEW

STEAUA SUDULUI
POSITION: 1st
END OF SEASON FORM: W W W W W -
SUMMARY: With one game to go, Steaua look to go the whole season undefeated as they've powered to the 6-1-1 title. A formidable record of 26 wins in 29 games and only 10 goals conceded, they are worthy winners and have left very good teams In their wake. All on eyes are on the showpiece event tomorrow, as they take on the side that knocked them out of the Champions Shield in the Elite Cup Final. Win or lose, it's been a very successful season for the Romanians.

IM A BLADE FC
POSITION: 2nd
END OF SEASON FORM: W W W W W -
SUMMARY: Im a Blade FC have had a solid season and are runners up to Steaua Sudului. The Blades went on a memorable Elite Cup run, narrowly missing out on a SF spot losing to Super Imps. With only 2 defeats, Chris will probably rue the 4 draws throughout the season meaning he fell short of pushing for top spot. Will come back stronger next campaign.

CSI-MARGATE
POSITION: 3rd or 4th
END OF SEASON FORM: W W W W D -
SUMMARY: Brian's Margate again finishing in a familiar position of 3rd or 4th, probably just pipping Fremfurt to a podium place. Despite only dropping points in 7 games out of 29, this wasn't good enough to mount a serious title challenge. New signing Jaime Lyn Sigler was a particular highlight, the young striker having the 4th highest rating in the division and firing in 16 goals in just 19 appearances.

EINTRACHT FREMFURT
POSITION: 3rd or 4th
END OF SEASON FORM: W D W W W -
SUMMARY:  Gull's Eintracht Fremfurt hinted at a title challenge this season but were blown away by Steaua Sudului and also couldn't compete with the well oiled machines of CSI-Margate and Im A Blade FC. With a rumoured high playing budget, Fremfurt fans will be expecting a genuine title challenge next time around. Early exits in major cups and a disappointing campaign in FL2, the only shining light of the season was a shock 2-1 victory over Super Imps in the Server Cup Round 1. With recent improvement in PL results, Fremfurt will need a vast improvement in consistency should they want to claim a trophy.

FC SIDRA T
POSITION: 5th
END OF SEASON FORM: L L W W W -
SUMMARY: Experienced manager Ag's Fc Sidra T lie in 5th. With a strong squad and very hard to break down in their favoured 2-5-3 formation, Sidra T aren't an easy side to take points off. That being said, Ag may feel a little disappointed finishing 12pts off the top 4 despite the quality of the starting XI. SidraT unfortunately went out in the 1st round of the Elite Cup & ICC cup, going down to narrow victories. A win tonight could sneak them an Elite Cup spot next year.

PYROS
POSITION: 6th or 7th
END OF SEASON FORM: W W D W D -
SUMMARY: Flying the flag for Wales Pyros come in at either 6th or 7th and have had a much improved campaign. Have given a few of the top teams in a 6-1-1 a scare and sides have been made to work hard to take any points off Leighs outfit. With a relatively young squad there's still time for improvement and development. Could be one to watch in the future.

THE KILLERS
POSITION: 6th or 7th
END OF SEASON FORM: L W L W W -
SUMMARY: Newcastle based side The Killers have had a respectable season and look to be finishing in either 6th or 7th. Like may other 6-1-1 sides, their ICC Cup run was over before it started, bowing out of the first round in a crushing defeat to Lucys Wanderers. They will of course try again next season with ICC qualification under their belt. Colin Browns side endured a great end to January as they went unbeaten from 20th January to the 3rd February, picking up an impressive 7 wins and 3 draws. Their end of season form has been mixed, but have picked up some notable results - the pick of the bunch being a 2-1 victory over division big hitters, CSI-Margate.

HUNT PARK ROVERS
POSITION: 8th
END OF SEASON FORM: W D W L W -
SUMMARY: Self proclaimed "yo-yo" club Hunt Park Rovers have proved their manager wrong by not only staying in 6-1-1 for another year, but finishing in a solid 8th place and qualifying for the ICC Cup. Shorterpearson must be happy with 15 wins on their record, as the American side look to be slowly improving game by game. Hunt Park Rovers will be looking to push on next season in the league and the FL3.

RAVENS OF ENGLAND
POSITION: 9th
END OF SEASON FORM: L D D W W -
SUMMARY: Ravens of England who are part of the Munkeespuzz franchise didn't get off to the best of starts, picking up 10pts out of a possible 30 in a slow start to the season. They didn't fare too much better in the ICC 1st round, going down 4-0 in a disappointing collapse to Corinthian Casuals. Things just haven't quite clicked this year and will be hoping a vast improvement next time around.

THE BLURRED CRUSADE
POSITION: 10th
END OF SEASON FORM: W L L L L -
SUMMARY: Always a tricky side to play against, Steve Kilbey will probably be slightly disappointed with a 10th place finish this season. Despite finishing in a lowly position, strangely The Blurred Crusade have fared well against the unbeaten champions Steaua Sudului. Only an inspired performance from Steaua GK Lara Croft meant they went down to a 1-0 defeat yesterday, however they did manage a 1-1 draw against the same opponents back in January. Only a 11th place finish in FL3 suggest consistency may be an issue though - should this improve, there's no reason why The Blurred Crusade can't push towards a top 6 place in the future.

UNIV.CRAOIVA
POSITION: 11th
END OF SEASON FORM: W D W L L  -
SUMMARY: Comfortably finishing above the relegation zone yet never really troubling the Top 8, caretaker manager Steve's team will be guaranteed 6-1-1 Football for the next campaign. With no Friendlies or PL's, it was a hassle free schedule for UNIV. CRAOIVA, who were probably concentrating on survival from the top flight before worrying about anything else. Didn't fare too well against the better sides of the division and only claimed 5 away wins all season.

EXODUS
POSITION: 12th
END OF SEASON FORM: L W L L L -
SUMMARY: Survive relegation.

NAVAL AND MILITARY
POSITION: 13th
END OF SEASON FORM: L L L L L -
SUMMARY: Relegated.

DECKHEAD UNITED
POSITION: 14th
END OF SEASON FORM: L L L L L -
SUMMARY: Relegated.

ICC UPDATE

The ICC got underway today with two 6-1-1 sides gaining the edge over their 7-1-1 counterparts. EINTRACHT FREMFURT continued their good recent form with a 2-0 away victory over 7-1-1 champions, THE KC SHUFFLE, with goals either side of HT enough to secure victory. STEAUA SUDULUI claimed a win too, striker Rick Kleiner netting an 87th minute winner to dispatch OGRES. HUNT PARK ROVERS mind games proved futile as they were overpowered 5-0 by CORINTHIAN CLOWNS. FC SIDRAT and THE KILLERS suffered narrow defeats exiting the cup to HH BETICOS and THE COCKNEY REJECTS respectively. IM A BLADE FC thrashed THE POMPEY CHIMES 6-1 to ease through to the 2nd round, whilst CSI-MARGATE smashed 14 without reply in an easy run out against BALLYNAFEIGH BADGERS. Result of the day surely comes from Wales where PYROS dumped SURREAL MADRID out of the competition thanks to a 50th minute Kent Cook strike.

"THRILLING THURSDAY" ENDS WITH HONOURS SHARED


STEAUA SUDULUI 1 vs 1 IM A BLADE FC

With the 6-1-1 fixture computer throwing up a set of mouth watering clashes early into the season, THE SL TIMES labelled the 28th February as "Thrilling Thursday" with the Top 4 sides from the last couple of seasons all involved over 2 games. As expected the games were tight, eventually finishing in 1-1 draws. Legendary hitman Cosmo Kramer may not have many seasons left in him but he still knows where the net is, as his goal in the 75th minute rescued a draw for for last years Champions Steaua. The Blades looked good value for their lead and it was no surprise when experienced defender Enda Stevens put the away side ahead shortly into the second half. With both unbeaten records for this season still intact, Steaua are yet to taste defeat in an astonishing 34 league games.

CSI-MARGATE 1 vs 1 EINTRACHT FREMFURT

Games are usually tight between these two sides and a 1-1 draw was hardly surprising as Fremfurt travelled to Margate last night. On a cold Winters night in Kent, Margate adapted better to the conditions and took an early lead to go into the break 1 goal to the good. With both managers favouring C.Attacking options from the 60th minute onwards, it did look that we had seen the last of the action with both teams seemingly cancelling each other out. With time running out, a soft penalty awarded to Fremfurt was converted by Nash which meant the home side had to settle for a point. Margate and Fremfurt still yet to lose, but a draw means the Ravens of England swoop to top spot.


PYROS CONTINUE TO IMPRESS IN THE ICC AS THEY CLAIM ANOTHER WIN

With PYROS league form a little hit and miss, they continue to impress in the ICC and claim another win this time defeating Kickstart United 2-1. Despite losing midfielder Moe DeLawn to a red card in the 1st minute of ET, Pyros grounded out a victory thanks to a 111th minute strike.

UNIV. CRAIOVA APPOINT NEW MANAGER

UNIV. CRAOIVA have appointed Mihai Stamate as their new manager, after Caretaker Steve's recent departure.

"This is not a job for me, this is a lifestyle. The fans will see that," said Stamate, whose new team are currently 5th in 6-1-1. "We will put a side out there that the club will be proud of. We will be hard working, talented side that will play in a certain way which we will work religiously on. Along the way there will be some ups and downs, hopefully plenty of ups. But when we get our philosophy implemented and get working with the players, I'm sure they're going to respond."

UNIV. CRAOIVA were among the pre-season favourites for relegation following several poor seasons in the top flight, and had re-appointed club legend Stamate to guide them back to challenging for the title. Before Stamate was appointed, the Romanians had approached Steaua Sudului boss Catalin A. but he rejected the opportunity to be interviewed.

INTER CONFERENCE CUP SEMI-FINAL DRAWS MADE

The IC Cup draw was made a couple of days ago with two 6-1-1 Conference teams still in the competition. South-East rivals CSI-MARGATE and WIZARDS have been drawn against each other in the IC Cup semi-finals, whilst EINTRACHT FREMFURT face SUPER IMPS in the other last-four tie.

Both semi-finals will be played on Friday 22nd March, with a 3.10pm KO. Margate will make the 125 mile trip via the A12 to Wizards, whereas Fremfurt face the gruelling 275 mile journey North to Sincil Bank.

The Wizards cruised through to the semi-finals with a 4-1 victory against 6-1-1 side Pyros, with Margate dispatching of Realale Madrid 2 goals to 0.

Super Imps, who've won this competition many a time, proved too good for West End Girls.

Fremmy are playing in the semi-finals for the first time after beating Jellybellies 1-0.

6-1-1 TITLE CHALLENGERS

[STEAUA SUDULUI] There will be a new champion crowned in 6-1-1 this year as Beckham's team are taking a sabbatical from the top flight after 4 league titles in a row. Catalin's outfit have been a formidable force in recent campaigns, famously going the course of the season unbeaten in their incredible triumph the year before last. With a reshuffle of the pack we at 6-1-1 hope to see the Bucharest based side make a return in the not too distant future.

[CSI-MARGATE] Brian's ever dependable Margate sides title challenge never really took off last year so will be hoping for one better this time around. Like Fremfurt, they enjoyed many a battle with Steaua but found them a tough nut to crack - will probably feel this year will be a great chance to lift the 6-1-1 crown. They've had a great start this year winning both games this year without conceding a goal.

[UNIV. CRAIOVA] With one Romanian team gone, many people are tipping another one to carry on where Steaua left off. 6-1-1 were pleased to see Mihai making a return in the middle of last season. They've already took the FL3 by storm, gaining promotion to the FL2 at the first time of asking. They had a solid campaign last year finishing in the Top 5 comfortably qualifying for ICC, where today they dispatched of Purple Gelato to go through to Round 2.

[IM A BLADE FC] The Blades will be there or thereabouts this season but were dealt a blow last night going down to a 0-2 defeat to Red Star Knights. The jury's still out onto whether they are consistent enough to become Champions though, with in recent years not quite having enough firepower to claim top spot.

[EINTRACHT FREMFURT] When there's talk of titles one team in 6-1-1 always gets mentioned, yet it's always case of nearly but not quite. Fremmy were the masters of their own downfall last season, manager Gull reportedly going AWOL for a weekend costing the team valuable points in their quest for the title. Some critics say this was just an excuse and the team didn't have the nerve to match Steaua at the top although this is obviously firmly denied by the Fremfurt camp. It's a case of now or never for Gull, with his ageing team facing the prospect of a revamp next year.

[RED STAR KNIGHTS] Everybody here at 6-1-1 gives a warm welcome to 6-1-1 newcomers, Red Star Knights. Part of the Nish Knights franchise taking SL by storm, they narrowly missed out on the Elite Cup losing 1-0 in the final. Despite Red Stars tough start to the league, they've already won 2 games out of 2 and lie 1st in the Managers Table. It would be no surprise that this side will lift the league trophy this campaign.

6-1-1 REST OF LEAGUE

[PYROS] - 6th

[FC SIDRAT] - 7th

[THE KILLERS] - 8th

[RAVENS OF ENGLAND] - 9th

[THE BLURRED CRUSADE] - 10th

[HUNT PARK ROVERS] - 11th

[REAL SOCIEDAD] - 12th

RED MIST DESCENDS FOR THE KNIGHTS

Reports are coming through that the Knights went ballistic on sneaking the title last night and wrecked a few local pubs after. In what turned out to be an interesting season for sidraT, who beat the top 2 but struggled against some of the other teams, the latter win saw the Knights grab the trophy. RSK assistant manager Hyadh-V said "the boys did the best, we knew if we outscore the opposition there was a chance we might win.. so we kept doing it"

Fremfurt manager Gull was unavailable for comment at the time of writing this but Red Star's club captain, Cloud, praised their effort and already began talking of trying to maintain the push for next season because you can be sure Gull will be putting his boys through their paces and coming back even harder

Well done Nish on the title, had have a very busy 2 weeks so haven't been as active as I'd have liked. A very impressive run for you against the better teams in the division midway through the season pretty much sealed the deal. When I completely forgot to set up against The Killers & still came away with a 1-0 win, I was beginning to think the luck was on my side...!

Been an unfortunate season with injuries and just felt short at the final hurdle. Time to rebuild now for next season with many of my defence approaching the inevitable decline of stats. Enjoy competing in 6-1-1 so will still stay put but may need a season or two to compete for the title again.

EINTRACHT FREMFURT IN TURMOIL AS MANAGER GULL DEPARTS FOR PASTURES NEW

EINTRACHT FREMFURT have announced manager Gull has left the club with immediate effect.

A statement from Fremfurt on Friday morning said:
"The club would like to thank D Larcs for his work during his time at Eintracht Fremfurt and to wish him success in the future.
A new caretaker manager will be appointed until the end of the current season, while the club conducts a thorough recruitment process for a new, full-time manager."


The news comes two days after Fremfurt's embarrassing 20-0 defeat to 3rd place Im a Blade FC, meaning they finish 5pts behind champions Red Star Knights.

Gull took charge of Fremfurt in the winter of 2018 and have come close to silverware on many occasions, narrowly missing out on the 6-1-1 title and suffering heartbreak in last years Elite Cup Final, going down 1-0 to Wizards. Fremfurt then finished second in 6-1-1 this term, although their performances in SL Cups and FL2 in this campaign left a lot to be desired. Fremfurt season comes to an end in three days time with the conclusion of the FL2.


REACTION FROM TWITTER AS GULL DEPARTS

@FremfurtGal37 :-
I'm gutted - but not surprised. With probably the biggest budget in the league,
the owners were always going to be eager to see a return on their investment.
We played attractive football at times but the facts are he couldn't deliver a trophy.


@EFC4Eva :-
Good riddance.

@FremfurtUSA :-
His loss is someone elses gain. He needed time!
All the best for the future Gull and hope you find a
club that will appreciate you. Tactical genius and top bloke.


@MikeyB2019 :-
Our squad should be winning the league and atleast
be challenging for a Top 3 spot in the FL1. Instead we
lose out to Red Star and even worse lie mid table in FL2. Had to go.

UNFANCIED PYROS FIGHTING FIRE WITH FIRE

With the season now 8 games in there's an unfamiliar face holding their own at the top of the league, Welsh outfit PYROS lie 3rd having notched 16 out of a possible 24pts. Manager Leigh would probably be the first to admit he wasn't surprised that his side weren't talked about pre-season when critics were speculating who would claim this years 6-1-1 crown. Despite defeats to Craoiva and SidraT, PYROS have drawn against Margate and won the rest of their fixtures giving them the best GD in the league. With tough games to come though, many are questioning whether or not the form will last - fans don't seem worried though and are happy remain under the radar.

6-1-1 NEWCOMERS

With the season now 5 games in we take a look a couple of new teams that have recently gained promotion to Conference 6's top flight. Enjoying a rapid rise to 6-1-1 almost hand in hand, Hollywood Heroes and Grays Athletic have together enjoyed successful seasons occupying the top 2 promotion slots in 6-1-4, 6-1-3 and 6-1-2, with the latter pipping their counterparts to the title in the last 3 campaigns.
 

HOLLYWOOD HEROES   
With one of the more smaller playing budgets in the league, critics were of the opinion that Greg would need to significantly strengthen their side if they were to have any chance of surviving the drop in the first season in 6-1-1. The fixture computer didn't do Hollywood any favours to say the least, throwing them up against Park My Seagull, Pyros and SidraT in a tricky start to life at the top. So far despite a clear difference in quality Hollywood haven't been disgraced, their GD reading +1 despite slipping into the relegation zone after last nights defeat.

GRAYS ATHLETIC
Pedros went on record at the start of the season saying he would be happy to finish 12th but he may be doing a disservice to his young side that could be capable of a Top 8 finish. Things haven't really clicked for Grays so far and it may take a little bit of time for his side to adjust to life in 6-1-1, however there are signs of promise with 2 wins out of 5 a good return. They meet familiar foes Hollywood Heroes tomorrow in a big clash at the bottom which could be a 6 pointer even at this early stage of the season. With a talented midfield though, there's no reason why Grays can't achieve an ICC place which will be a great reward for the hard work shown in previous seasons.

HONOURS EVEN AT THE TOP

RED STAR KNIGHTS 0 v 0 PARK MY SEAGULL

It was a case of something having to give as the two sides boasting 100% records locked horns late last night. With both teams having a fully fit squad of 20 to choose from, it was probably not too much of a surprise that the game fizzled out in a stalemate with very little talking points, with both teams of similar quality cancelling each other out. With many Knights fans claiming that Gulls side always crack under pressure, The Seagulls stood up to some robust play with a few fiesty challenges going in from the home team.

There wasn't too much to write home about until the 74th minute though. The Knights, opting for Counter Attacks, were being overrun from Gulls Defensive switch early on and things took a turn for the worst with midfielder Sith Caith going for an early bath. Only an inspired goalkeeping performance from Wallace Barrett kept the Gulls at bay and the game drew to a close with both sides having to settle for a point.

CSI-RAMSGATE v HOLLYWOOD HEROES

I was thinking about a formation change as I need to replace a few players, but think I'll stick with the 5-2-3ATT for the time being to save a complete revamp. Need to replace 4 or 5 players so will be back in 6-1-1 the season after next.

Congrats on the title win Mihai, not easy to gain more points than Red Star Knights in 30 games so you're a worthy winner.

It's my intention to try and make 6-1-1 one of the toughest and most active divisions in SL, so I'm trying to recruit new users to join us. I think we have a little way to go until we match the powerhouse that is 3-1-1, but I'm confident with a few additions we could match that league for quality. I've tried my best to nab Galatasaray from 7-1-1 although I think he may have his eyes set on 1-1-1.

On the horizon of 6-1-1, we have of course myself and vastly improving World United FC. World United FC managed a 2-1 win over JellyBellies in a PL yesterday so they will be no mugs when they finally reach the summit. It's good to see 6-1-1 legend Steaua Sudului entering more PLs, and hopefully, we will see him soon. I've noticed Borg's second team is in the lower echelons of Conference 6 so it will be good to see him return to 6-1-1 after leaving a while ago with his Exeter City outfit.

unlucky buddy, and i dropped points last night against a strong (and still unbeaten) Tardis. still 7 games to go, and last game of the season is our game so i won’t count on anything yet. Tardis (ag) you are having a great run bud! the title is well within reach (esp. considering last game of season).. don’t you want to go on holiday? ;) i wonder if one of us could end unbeaten and still lose the league

our division is getting stronger next season with World United coming in, and the season after Steau Sudului come in too :D all we need now is Gull back, and that's pretty solid competition-wise.

well done Craoiva on the ICC win, and i think we put up a good showing in the UCB too!

I miss Gull, hope his break is good (if you’re around Gull, don’t let your team fade)

thank you Mihai, i really wanted the 611 this season :-P you awoke the competitive spirit. UCB, that’s not a bad shout if Beckham would consider it. We definitely have a solid set of teams here, i’ll even throw some games with my Blue Star team ;-) (that’s a joke in case anyone takes it seriously)

Hi guys, be back in 6-1-1 this season although team needs a bit of a rebuild so highly likely I will be challenging - need to do 2 exams by the end of January so I'll try to set up in every game but may be a bit busy at times.

Judging by the table it looks like the title is back with Nish, well done the Red Star Knights.

After 8 games Red Star Knights leads The 6th Division, followed by Univ Craiova on goal difference.

3rd in the 6-1-1 is Steaua Sudului, who's starting to realize his in the top division, after 6 sabbatical years.

On 4th is World United F.C with a decent season so far.

The undisputed champion of write-ups and runners up, Park My Seagull, is on fifth after a slow start. 10 points behind Univ Craiova. Come on gull, you can still finish second! :)

6h Ravens of England, 7th CSI-Margate, 8th Grays Athletic.

Cheers for the 6-1-1 update Steaua!  8)
Have an idea for a piece on Saturday, but obviously as the forum has been down for 3 years I wasn't able to post.

Think I've found a winning method at the moment & beat a very strong Wizards side in the Elite Cup last night. Reached the QFs of the ICC and all of a sudden the doom & gloom appears to have been lifted - aiming for a top 4 place this season.  :)

Three horse race for top spot looks interesting, but a long way to go yet and Im sure there's a couple of teams that could throw a spanner in the works for the title challengers in the future.

It's tight at the top in 6-1-1 with three teams locked together in a pulsating start to the season. UNIV. CRAIOVA just about lead the way, with 11 wins from 13 games seeing them top with 35pts. With one loss to their name, Red Star Knights make up the 2nd spot with 34pts. 6-1-1 legend Steaua Sudului come in 3rd but still yet to taste defeat.

(0) 6 Im a Blade FC 15 10 2 3 62 9 32

The TOP 6 are taking shape...with UNIV. CRAIOVA leading the way with 13 out of 15 victories. They eased past Hunt Park Rovers 3-0 last night, going into the interval with a 2-0 advantage. A late Manual Labor was the icing on the cake, Craiova now 5 wins from 5 and will host The Killers later on this evening. Red Star Knights are only a point behind, a routine 13-0 win over managerless RCS UTD means they still stay 2nd, 4pts ahead of 3rd. Steaua Sudului bounced back from their setback with Park My Seagull as they blasted away The Firm 32-0. It's still not over for Steaua, they remain 5pts off the top. Park My Seagull continue their recent good form with a solid 3-1 win over World United. Despite their indifferent start, The Seagulls lie 8pts off first but will be pushing for a podium finish. CSI-Margate and Im a Blade are locked horns on 32pts - winning 12-1 and 1-0 respectively in last night's games.

(0) 10 Ravens of England 15 6 3 6 62 19 21

With only 2 places up for grabs... there's a 4 way battle for a chance to represent 6-1-1 in next season's ICC. The Killers will fancy themselves to consolidate a place, they ran out 7-0 winners last night and have a favorable run-in towards the end of the season. World United FC, despite their strong squad, may feel they are underachieving this season - tipped for a challenge for the top 6 their form has suffered recently and only boast 1 win out of 6. Will need to improve with American outfit Hunt Park Rovers and Ravens of England both breathing down their neck.

@Mihai - How can I win against Super Imps? I see you have two wins in a row, which that's amazing! GG You deserve the top spot in our division  ;D

I'm getting closer. I manged to score a goal against Imps using the same tactics.

I usually needed 60 minutes tactical advantage to score a goal against Borg or Imps and full 90 minutes to win the game.

I have been doing some testing and noting some results down past few seasons and have found out some interesting things :)

Next step is to investigate referees in certain conditions... there could be a ref that you normally choose to play offsides but perhaps more optimal to not play this with the same ref under a certain situation such as weather or pitch type or even both. I know for a fact there are some referees that favour certain conditions and if you can exploit this, you have the advantage.
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: Gull on March 05, 2020, 07:22:27 AM
I don't think there's some special hidden tactic that Super Imps has discovered. Stats wise, his defence is pretty formidable. His defenders probably share the same stats as my midfielders do, give or take. It's no surprise teams struggle to score, let alone beat him. What I find is impressive is that the fact he can maintain such a high-level performance every season despite players declining, he definitely has a golden method in terms of having a high stat player lined up to place a declining one - in terms of real-life youth systems, Super Imps are like Barcelona and their star-studded academy!
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: The Borg on March 06, 2020, 04:54:36 PM
Think your over thinking it SuperJ and Kush. From my experience it the main aim of the game is building a strong strong team. That is why Rich is so effective at the mo. With the attributes he has at the moment he should've cleaned up this season like I did a few seasons back. Strongest attributed team out there currently.
After that its getting your basics right and tactics. IMO there is some good tactically minded managers out there. I include myself in this as I could never train the best team. The best tactician out there at the moment probably Mihai. Who also knows how to train a team so I would say he's the best all rounder currently on the game and probably doesn't get enough credit.

Lastly, you need abit of luck. If your lucks in you may get a random goal or 10....


Best manager I've ever played against is Spiteri Floriana. Man me and him had some ding dongs. He was top top quality at training and tactics. Be great if he come back.
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: beckham on March 06, 2020, 07:25:50 PM
I agree with you, Borg about Mihai and Floriana. I should add to your list Mark G (Redhil Rovers) from the Felix Server. He was crushing the game. I hope he also comes back.

That being said I hope I can win against Mihai tonight. :)
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: captain_kush on March 06, 2020, 07:52:44 PM
I probably am over thinking it lol but i'm always intrigued to testing to find new things out. To give an example; on the strategy thread it says to use offsides yes on Mclinktock and Frisk but I have had a lot of success with putting offsides no in certain conditions. I don't know if the strategy thread is 100% but it seems accurate enough. I have found out some other interesting things but I am not going to go into that :D

You are right though when you say that the aim is building a very strong strong team. I'm decent in training my players but not the best. I have never had a team passed 780 so I need to exploit the match engine in ways I can to match the stronger teams. What I mean by exploiting is finding hidden tricks and not cheating by any means. Maybe it could be better to have a player who is a Rocket Scientist as your captain rather than a dodgy geezer lol. Perhaps there is a flow in a players height. Only one way to find out and me being a stats man, I'm down to investigate  8)

I know for a fact Mihai is a top quality manager and a very formidable force... shame he's to scared to come back to 2-1-1  ;D ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: mihai on March 07, 2020, 03:34:39 AM
Thanks for your kind words, Mr Borg. You are also a great tactician, always difficult to find a pattern in your tactics, because there isn't one :D

Yep, Anthony Spiteri was a great manager. I also remember bignick (Anfield Road Rangers) who dominated the server after the merger.

Sorry Catalin, it didn't turn out your way with the draw ... maybe you'll be more inspired next time. It's a fantastic season in C6, with 3 teams keeping chances to bring home the trophy ... good luck to you all !

Kush, you can experiment with my Cubans  :)

i know for a fact that if you have a very strong team then the chances of going behind even if advanced tactics are wrong are minimal

Cheers

Team strength is incredibly important but I wonder if you would get the same results using 5-2-3 and using another formation like lets say 3-2-5. If you have a team strength of 800, would you expect 3-2-5 to be as effective as 5-2-3? Me personally wouldn't think so as some formations are better suited than others in certain conditions.

I remember bignick, he was the man! won 2-1-1 like 20 seasons on the trot and finally didn't win it during my first ever season in 2-1-1.
I also remember Peanug Hotspurs from the SL server back in the days, I believe he won his X-1-1 for atleast 25 seasons in a row.

Hi guys, in a complete mare I accidentally moved my 6-1-1 team instead of my 2-1-1, flicking between 4 teams recently so ended up getting a bit confused. I've lost my ICC & Elite Cup places but kept the private leagues ones luckily and my place in FL1. I didn't want to keep my side in 2-1-1 after getting accused - I've changed my forum name too as it's not safe to keep the word Seagull it seems. ;)

There are 12 or 13 active players in this conference, so I created an 8 teams Knockout tournament and I'll send the password to everyone at the same time, as Nish did the last time (after it's free to enter)

EDIT: Changed to 16 teams. Password sent to every activ/ semi active player from C6. If I've missed anyone please reach back to me for passcode.

Couldn't afford to lose last night, happy to take a point. With Steaua dropping points again and Blades on a good run think it could be another close title race this season. Steaua up next for me, maybe slightly handicapped as I can't pick up any gelling due to not being in the Elite Cup - would probably take another draw tomorrow too!

Still going to be a tight finish to this season I think. Myself, Steaua and Knights all have to play each other and you can never write off Blades or Margate, as well whether or not the several tricky customers of the division will have a say in the title race, who despite not having the strongest of squads in comparison, are all decent managers and capable of taking points off the top 5 or 6.

Just a shame that I messed up my tactics and my unbeaten first half of the season. It was a day at the beach drinking and fishing, followed by a long bike ride home, I didn't know whether I was drunk, had sunstroke, dehydrated but now can confirm it was a mixture of all three - really did make a hash of my tactics and still don't know how I managed to get the TA right and the squad selection wrong  :-[ will need a perfect 2nd half of the season to come top of the pile I think!

It was a day at the beach drinking and fishing, followed by a long bike ride home, I didn't know whether I was drunk, had sunstroke, dehydrated but now can confirm it was a mixture of all three - really did make a hash of my tactics and still don't know how I managed to get the TA right and the squad selection wrong  :-[ will need a perfect 2nd half of the season to come top of the pile I think!

you’re well placed that’s for sure! unlucky on the setup :( personally, i think you’re due a title (sorry beckham ;)) i may shuffle my teams around at season end, so maybe this is a swan song for the reds and we’ll give it our all!

As mentioned before on other threads, I can't keep up with the 4-5-1 / 2-5-3 formations over a course of a season - although have come close. Be shame to lose Red Star, but hopefully we will see a Green or a Yellow pop up perhaps?
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: KnightStars on June 03, 2020, 04:55:20 AM
green is on the cards 😬 yellow is too weak to compete in this league and will probably end outside the top 8 :-/ i hope to win the title a time or two more at least ;-)

Good luck guys! I know I'm just 6 points away, but it's unlikely I can catch both of you.

My confidence in winning games is incredible low at the moment. I think I'm neglecting tactics and rely too much on team strength when I feel my squad is strong enough (over 780)

I'm saying this because my best results (champions shield trophy and elite cup runner up) came when the squad was in the developing stages (750-770) because back then I was focusing more on tactics.

Lesson to learn..

I switch between 4x Corners, 4x Free kicks, 4x defence and 4x Jogging. But when my midfielders are at 99 I eliminate free kicks or use it less often.

At this moment I rely heavily on defence and jogging because I have two new defenders.

Congratulations Mr Knight, well deserved champion of the C6 conference!

I feel bad for Gull, though. I know you deserved to win a couple titles at least, you are one of the most consistent managers and in the last few seasons you have become a redoubtable opponent.

Maybe next season will be your turn to win the crown. My team will only get weaker, so one less opponent to worry about. :)

thank you beckham, truth be told i haven’t beaten either 2nd or 3rd so it’s a lucky one that’s for sure.

feel the same as you re Gull, he has been the most consistent manager in C6 from the time i got here and when he wins the title that will be a open top parade moment 🤩

Amazing season Nish. Think I'm right in saying you join Steaua in the invinicible club. You've just been too good this season. I've been very fortunate with injuries this season and had a full strength side all the way but couldn't quite get past the formidable Knights. Done my best to finish 3rd in a 2 horse race  ;D ;D but luckily managed to stay 2nd.

Been great battles against you two and with other managers in the division - yet the title slip once again but no shame in missing out over the years to the likes of Red Star, Steaua & of course Univ Craoiva.   8)

didn't realise i went unbeaten, that's a bonus :P lost 4 of my midfielders at the start of the season so i am quite proud of this :P it may be my favourite win in SL.. (unless i beat the Imps tonight in the Elite Cup but we know that won't happen haha)

reminders sent out, and have invited all human teams from 611 - 614. will send out a few messages to teams in the lower leagues now..

will keep it open for the rest of the week, if we can't fill it up we can either change it to 8 teams (which sucks for 6 teams) or add some reserve teams who don't do tactics (meaning someone in the QF gets a free round). if anyone else has thoughts -let me know?

  So, the great macca, Monkey hangers FC, who was highly praised and welcomed by some, forecast to do great things, has gone AWOL and left his tactics in 90 minutes psycho.  Killed my team for the season last night. one broken arm, out for 8 weeks, one broken leg, out for 12 weeks, two concussion, and one bruised shoulder out for 4 weeks.  I think that I will have to drop my team out  of 611 to a lower league for the time being.
  Not at all happy with these so called "top players" who do this and he is not the only "top player" who has done it, yet when they come back, they are welcomed with open arms by some.

Conference 6 Cup Fixtures:

Red Star Knights vs World United FC
Park My Seagull   vs CSI-Margate
Steaua Sudului vs Hunt Park Rovers   
Im a Blade FC vs The REAL Madrid       
Texas Oldham vs The Blurred Crusade   
Grays Athletic vs The Killers   
South Shields vs The Blues Return   
Etar BT vs   Rebel Star Knights

Favourites: Steau Sudului, Park My Seagull
Outsiders: CSI, South Shields, Red Star Knights
Dark Horses: Etar, Texas
Possible Winners: Everyone else, except the Rebels

Tie of the Round: Park my Seagull vs CSI Margate in what is an interesting battle between a team ravaged by injuries and a team whose manager is busy. Seagull are the current champions but CSI are worthy opponents and Brian’s team have a history of good cup runs.

Prediction: ET goal will settle this, too close to call either way..

Good Luck everyone! (except the Rebels)

Round 1:
Red Star Knights   2 - 1    World United F.C   
Park My Seagull   0 - 1    CSI-Margate      
Steaua Sudului   5 - 0    Hunt Park Rovers   
Im a Blade FC   2 - 1    The REAL Madrid   
Texas Oldham   2 - 1    The Blurred Crusade   
Grays Athletic   1 - 9    The Killers   
South Shields   2 - 0    The Blues Return
Etar BT   1 - 0    Rebel Star Knights

Red Star Knights scored an 89th minute winner to get into the QF stage against a tough World United side. Margate edged Seagull in the TOTR, and Steau steamrolled Hunt Park establishing themselves as firm favourites. Blades and Oldham both won 2-1 (against Madrid and Crusade respectively) whilst the Killers set the score of the round in a massive 9-1 win, showing they too have potential in this cup. South Shields were comfortable against the Blues and Etar gave little away in their walkover tie.

Quarter Finals:
The Killers vs Steau Sudului
South Shields vs Red Star Knights
Im a Blade FC vs Texas Oldham
CSI-Margate vs Etar BT

The two biggest winners from the previous round meet, Sudului and the Killers will unlikely score as many this time around. Red Star will need to up their game against a strong Shields team, whilst Etar will have to pull out all the stops against CSI who knocked out joint favourites Seagull in the first round. Blades and Oldham go head to head and one of them will make up the semi finals and hope to continue their dream cup run.

Favourites: Steau Sudului
Outsiders: CSI, South Shields, Red Star Knights
Dark Horses: Etar, Texas, The Killers
Possible Winners: Im a Blade

good luck everyone! there will be a new champion this edition!

Quarter Finals:
The Killers 2-6 Steau Sudului
South Shields 0-2 Red Star Knights
Im a Blade FC 3-1 Texas Oldham
CSI-Margate 3-1 Etar BT

i was wrong, Steau and the Killers managed 8 goals, Beckham will be proud as his team came out top and continues to smash them in! The Knights were solid, if a little fortunate, and took the game 2 to 0 with 3-1 wins for the Blades and CSI ending the hopes of the dark horses Texas and Etar.

Semi Finals :
Steau Sudului vs Im a Blade FC
Red Star Knights vs CSI-Margate

Steau welcome the Blades in the semi finals, anything can happen of course but simply on league form and cup form while we’re at it, Steau will be looking to keep the goals coming and get to the final. The other semi is very evenly poised as CSI are a proven cup specialist whilst Red Star will be up for a fight. This will be close to call, the odd goal should edge it.

Favorites: Steau Sudului
Outsiders: CSI-Margate, Red Star Knights
Dark Horses: Im a Blade

2 games left, can anyone halt the mighty Steau Juggernaut?

good luck everyone
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: KnightStars on July 05, 2020, 04:29:51 PM
Semi Finals :

Steau Sudului 2-0 Im a Blade FC
Red Star Knights 1-0 CSI-Margate

Steau did their favorites tag justice as they advanced to the final of the third edition of the C6 cup. Consistent throughout, and with 13 goals scored in 3 games and just 2 conceded they will feel confident tomorrow. Red Star edged the semi final, even luckier this time with no TA going their way. The manager, Nish HP, said “i had a feeling that if we scored more goals than them, we’d have a chance of reaching the finals” and followed up with “most times it’s a game of two halves, so we made it four halves and that gave us the numerical advantage!”

Final:

Steau Sudului vs Red Star Knights

The current league champions play the former champions in a titanic clash. Both will be in their second final, Red Star having lost the last one, and Steau winning the first one. Steau will remain favourites but Red Star will hope to contain them and catch them on the counter. Whatever happens, either team can be proud of a solid effort in the C6 universe.

good luck beckham

Your Red Knights is one of the best team in the game at the moment, Nish. I doubt it Steaua are the favourites to win in the final. I didn't win a game against you or Gull in the last two or three seasons.

I know I should change formation from  5-4-1 to 5-2-3/3-5-2/ 4-3-3 on muddy pitch or rainy weather, but I'm too lazy to do that so I suffer the consequences.

Top three teams in the Manager Tables are Blue, Green and Red Knights. You're on a roll a the moment, Nish :)

whenever I play you, imps or gull I consider myself underdog 😂 don't worry I struggle to beat you too! I think we have drawn our last 3 so today maybe an ET goal today? Hopefully in my favour 😘

Logging in now to screenshot that table, doubt ill see that again! Oddly, my Blue Star are my strongest team then Red (some distance) then Yellow then Green. Green have come up after you gave me training advice and some old advice from Gull also helped

Conference Six Cup v3 Final:

Steau Sudului 2 - 0 Red Star Knights

Steau claimed the cup for a second time, as the Knights lost for the second time in a final. A goalless first half kept in with Knights game plan of keeping it tight and going for the counter, but Steau used their superior tactics book to score deep into the second half and catch the Red team again in the 86th minute ensuring the cup was secured.

Deserved winner Beckham, 15 goals and 2 conceded across 4 games! Disappointed to lose, but onward and upwards for the Red Star Knights :D

Conference Six Cup Edition Four:

1. Red Star Knights vs. Steau Sudului
2. World United F.C. vs. Texas Oldham
3. The Killers vs. Hunt Park Rovers
4. CSI-Margate vs. Im a Blade FC

Tie of the round sees the leagues form teams lock horns. It's 1 vs. 2 and two-time winners (Steau) vs. two-time losers (Red Star). The winner will look forward to going all the way after this tie but lurking are Im a Blade who have beaten both this season in the league. Blades tie take on CSI-Margate in what promises to be a great cup tie and too close to call. The Killers take on Hunt Park, both teams would love a good cup run and World United take on Texas in the last tie of the round in evenly contested matches if league form is to be beleived.

Good luck everyone!

Thank you - I had 75 minutes tactical advantage against Mihai. This is what I need to win against top managers now. My team is weak, but I'm getting better day by day. :)

Got a tough one tonight against my bogey team World United. They always seem to take a result from me at the most inappropriate time (not that their really is an appropriate time  :P).

The match between you and Brain is probably the best result I could off hoped for before the game. Thank god for that 88th minute penalty, yeah? Haha.

Thanks Nish, I think it's too early for games to be deciding who is and who is not in the race for the title this season though.

I believe my team is the weakest in the Top 4 and my lead is flattering because I haven't played anyone from the Top 4 yet.

I have to run the gauntlet on Tuesday, where I play you all back to back. That will give us a lot better understanding to me, where everyone is in the title race.

I don't know the ref or conditions for yours and Brian's match tonight, but if you both want to go phycho on each other, and give each other some long term injuries, that would be ideal...wouldn't mind a draw either  ;)

to be fair, brian owes me a win. he smashed my rebel star in TEL today. fairs fair.

Thank you! You're team strength is my main concern, so I'll take a 0-0 draw under the circumstances.

I had my best midfielder get injured with a broken finger for 6 weeks a couple of days ago, so I expected the 'Nice rest' to get him back fit for our game today...only for him to go AWOL ::) Thankfully, I have cover  ;)

Right back at you, good luck tonight, but not too much  :P

How is your team strength at the moment, guys?

My first eleven sits at 758 and I'm about to lose 3 more players ( I was at 790+ a couple of seasons ago - that's how strong my team needs to get so I can MAYBE have a chance against Nish)  :D

 I learned a lesson in past two seasons, though: I won't build the team with players at the same age, because I'll lose most of them in a relatively short period of time..

i need to have a look again, but late last season i had dropped to 794. got more players about to enter their dotage so a rebuild is on the cards 😅 i still owe it to your training advice! funnily enough i believe teams in the 765-770 range “peak” (from my experience) as my blue star has consistently sat in the 790s and rarely wins things (maybe i’m just crap with them)

it’s tough getting a range of players now, TM is packed! nice to see a lot of bids though..

794?!?! I’m barley breaking 750 last I looked. If I win tonight I’m considering it a giant killing. 😂

I may go back through this thread and check out Catalin’s training tips, to see if it can hurry up my teams progress...I’ve no idea if a team rating of 750 is good for a team of SWC’s 4 🤷🏻‍♂️

I know what you guys mean about getting balanced squad, I’ve got two RB’s who are good for 10 seasons. Currently got a defender over 40 I want to replace now with a under 23 defender that can play anywhere on the pitch so he can go RB when the time comes. There’s only been one good defender in the last 2 weeks, and I didn’t get him. Thankfully my defender is good for another 2 seasons, so no rush. I doubt he’ll improve much now though.

it's not too far back in the thread, he (i assume you're a he Catalin?) told me how he rotates his training. i was a bit too stuck previously on jogging and free-kicks. he suggested defence and sprinting too so since i mixed it up a bit and the stats needle moved ALOT :)

750 is very good for SWC4, it will pleateau a little in the 770s, and that's where creative training comes in

That "resource limit" would off annoyed me so much! Haha.

Just checked your other results, I don't think they were that bad, you still have ground to make up in other leagues though...maybe focus on them for a bit?  ;)

I'm sure they do. I tried something differently tactic wise last night to throw you off, but it didn't seem to have any affect. Since I've returned to SL, I've not studied a single team and only focus on my own tactics. I feel like this is only getting me so far. Can't name a big game I've won in a while now, so it may be time to start studying teams old match reports now, and see if it improves my results.(Although that didn't do much for me last time either, ha)

I went and checked it last night a few hours after I posted that, I'm doing a majority of the same already, but instead of ditching free kicks right now, I ditch jogging and change it to sprinting, as I only have 2 players who are not 99 for stamina and they are not first team players.

halfway point of the league tonight and what a way to see the next half in with the double S derby! Steau Sudului v. South Shields -predictions anyone?

i’m biased but i’m going draw 1-1 ;-)

the second half of the season also promises to be interesting, there are teams who can spring surprises (killers, im a blade, world united, oldham and blurred crusade) who have all on their day humbled the title hunters, so i expect a lot more twists before we’re done

Catalin next, thankfully a day off before hand though.

  Glad you will be setting up for a visit to Caitlin. That will leave CSI free to do what they like (LOL)
     :) 8) :)

brian you legend! you’ve opened up the league nicely 😬 please repeat the result in the second half of the season ;-)

although, Shields may feel slightly hard done by, with TA and formation? i can only assume the injury hurt the Shields a lot

Kind of expected something like this may happen against one of you three, so I wasn't shocked to see how the tactics worked out.

I may off had TA but Brain's team is just stronger, it's just how it goes.

The injury could have had an impact looking at my LB's performance, but it could off been worse if I didn't do the sub glitch. Could off cost me the point if I hadn't done that in the first place.

Catalin next, I'm sure I've got that right this time!  :P

i just saw, you beat the imps in FL1! that is super impressive (pardon the pun) :D you're definitely favoured in this title run in, but let's see if we can change the script a little ;-)

good luck to the both of you tonight

That result may have been a bit flattering as Rich got a red card when we were 1-1. Might have ended up differently 11 vs 11, but we’ll never know 🤷🏻‍♂️. I’ll take it though, that League is crazy with how tough it is 🙂.

I don’t think I’ve ever been favoured, even after winning the first 12. I knew playing the top 3 from last season, is 18 points I’m unlikely to pick up. My team needs another season or two to develop before challenging for the title. I’ll take avoiding defeat tonight, then I’ll let you worry about Catalin 😉

I’m glad I’m in the most active conference forum wise right now, it really adds something to the game.

Gulls write ups were great, tough opponent too.

UCB should be good. I’ve got a bit of time this weekend, I may look at starting a Conference 6 Cup for the 2nd half of the season...we usually go for 8 don’t we?

if you think we can 16, we can go for that but 8 is usually a safe bet so we avoid adding “dead” teams. comfortable with whatever you want

my team has a decline coming soon, so I am sure I'll have to hold on to 2 or 3. so as a parting gift, I would accept 1 this season? ;-) my keeper up front.. I'll do it in the cup if you do in the league? ;-)

Haha, thanks Nish, but I don’t consider myself a top manager 😂.

I’ve not won any of the big majors in my visits back and forth from the game or a x-1-1 like you, I honestly think if you can keep the gap to 1 point with 3 games to go your favourite to win the league, i’d need some massive luck to stay top if that was the case. The league could change a lot by then.

I’ve still got some tough games to play, World United tonight who are my bogey team, Texas Oldham are a solid team and can take results of anybody in the league, the age of there team is similar to mine. That’s not to take anything away from the rest of the managers in the league too, everyone has the potential to take points of each other, but if they could take them of you Nish instead of me that would be great ;-)

that’s why i love C6, there are a lot of teams who suddenly come alive ☺️

and the journey to majors have to start somewhere, i’m not joking i do rate you and your team and i’m sure majors are en route (but you have to get past my green star who i think are my strongest team now). this title race is exciting, long may it remain! my first couple of titles with Gull were like this, and then with Steau and Craiova. if i recall, i won 2 out of 5 then, and came 3rd in 2 seasons -it was so hard. it may even been 2/6 i think Steau and Craoiva won 2 each -i can’t remember fully, i just remember fighting every game for position 😝 so in my opinion you’re on the right path..

at any rate, the banter has been fun 😬😀

I agree, I’m loving the title race, I’m relieved we don’t have a match tonight though, I got 5 players out right now, and I’d struggle to field a team if I had a game tonight. Hopefully 3 should be back tomorrow, but just picking a line-up for my 3pm games today was tough.

Thanks again btw, my goal at the start of the season was just to qualify for the TCL next season, but now I’m getting greedy and I want the title, haha.

1st in 3-1-1

My side will most probably peak in 3 or 4 seasons time then I will have to replace a few players but hope to challenge the top 4 at least once in that time. It’s gd to see a competitive challenge to the title, hope I can be a pain to some of the sides at the top & make the title a hard fought race 😁

Looking at the age of your team, I'd say they have a couple of title challenges in them coming up, before they need to be replaced.
I've been watching your race for the top 4 all season, and I still wouldn't call this season out of the question, as the gap isn't that big to overturn.

Conference 6 Cup Draw Preview

South Shields vs Red Star Knights
South Shields, face current 6-1-1 champions and Conference 6 cup holders, Red Star Knights. Nish is looking to become the first manager to successfully defend the Conference 6 cup, but South Shields might have other plans ;-)

Texas Oldham vs Steaua Sudului
Texas Oldham has been chasing down Steaua Sudului for one of their top 4 spots this season, the first encounter in the league saw Texas Oldham win 1-0. Previous Conference 6 Cup winners Steaua Sudului, will be looking for revenge as they try and re-claim the Conference 6 Cup.

The Blurred Crusade vs Hunt Park Rovers
Only one place and 3 points currently separates these two in Conference 6, and it is for the last ICC spot next season. The first fixture this season ended in a 0-0 draw, but that won't be good enough in the Conference 6 Cup, as we will find a winner between the two.

CSI-Westgate on Sea vs Lone Rangers
Brian has cheekily entered a Conference 7 team in the Conference 6 Cup  ;). CSI-Westgate on Sea will be playing 6-1-4 leaders Lone Rangers in the only fixture of the Conference Cup Quarter-Finals not to feature two 6-1-1 teams.

2nd in 5-1-1, equal points as nr 1
2nd in 6-1-1, 1 point behind nr 1
1st in 7-1-1

That would be quite an achievement.

if i get anywhere close to 5 i’ll be over the moon, but i usually fade in the final stretch 😂 my blue star are prime candidates for that

How many conferences have you won Nish? You must be on to be the first manager in SL history to win them all. There's not many first lefts to achieve in this game and I believe it's only you and Brian who have the potential to achieve that.

since i’ve been back? c3(blue and black), c4(blue), c6(red) and c7(green) (funnily enough i won 4 of those last season) so still need c1, c2, c5 and c8. but honestly i can’t see that happening, imps + kush + jelly etc. make it almost impossible 😂 maybe i need to take my green / red teams into those leagues (and probably end up 5th!)

I’m sure you’ll get the rest eventually the way you develop your teams, it’s more of a matter of when than if. If you have to switch the reds around to make it happen, fair enough ;-)

this seasons title would be a nice farewell gift 😝 thanks! as it stands i had to make red stand aside for green in the ICC and the CS, it would be sad for Red not to get a trophy 💔

and thank you by the way. my white, rebel and purple are teams i tried to keep on 500c players only and so i enjoy the “struggle” with them, also why i don’t expect to win all 8 conferences, but the more the merrier. i think Craoiva did the same, but he was absolutely stellar in how he dominated wherever he went with his 500c (per player) team

I wish I had your patience with teams. I tried the 500 cr route in the past, but I got too annoyed to stick at it when a Team way stronger than mine beats me but I had them on tactics.

The results is probably fair, but I’m very competitive and stuff like that bruises my ego 😂.

I’m not a great trainer either, so it’s unlikely I can change them 500 cr players into World Beaters, it’s very impressive for the managers who can do that though, I would love to know what their training programmes are.

Conference 6 Cup Draw Preview


CSI-Westgate on Sea vs Lone Rangers
Brian has cheekily entered a Conference 7 team in the Conference 6 Cup  ;). CSI-Westgate on Sea will be playing 6-1-4 leaders Lone Rangers in the only fixture of the Conference Cup Quarter-Finals not to feature two 6-1-1 teams.

  Whoops, Sorry about this. I automatically entered the cup in error when I altered the entry to free forgetting that I was logged in to Westgate not Margate. Anyone who knows my thoughts of teams from other Conferences entering the Cups will realise this was an error and I can guarantee this will be a walkover for the  C6 team because I will not setup for the game in any way.

unlucky Tex, good TA there! i think the 5-2-3 swayed it a little, it's a hard formation to break down (and score with which is the counter-side).

taking points off the top 4, your title hunt is in the offing James!! start negotiation with Shelly ;-) like I am this season (you know you want to donate a few more points Shelly)

No disrespect is meant to the other teams in the league by this, but if I got to choose between the end run of fixtures between the two of us, I would choose your set of games. I feel like this is your title to lose now in my opinion, but It seems like you need something in your mindset though about not being favourite to take the pressure of yourself though...I like that ;-)

let me be honest, i’d also take my set 😂 just to avoid Steau and CSI, that said i do believe the other teams (and have seen it) can knock points off me so it’s always a worry. but most of all, the education i got today from your team means a win for you will send the title that way, and your team has shown minimal weakness all season. it’s not a mind game, or anything other than my gut feel. i think you have the same, in that you also feel my team is strong and won’t consider yourself favourite.

but i’m not worried anymore, now that you OWE me (and Brian is bound to beat you) 😬 and if i must be candid, i’m motivated when teams write me off, if there is a large gap (the early season 6 points) and in if they have consistently beaten me (Steau did this for a long time. the one season i beat him twice and came 3rd, it was the only 2 losses he had if i recall.. but i HAD to win the league or die trying after)

good start in UCB, let’s put pressure on C1!!

Not gonna lie, I’m checking your team on a daily basis waiting for the ‘declines’ to kick in that you say your team is due 😂. It has made my day today managing to get some victories against you, but they all count for nothing when we play next week. Thing is, If you’re still ahead after we play next week, I think that’s the title race over. I know your last 2 games are a computer team, and I believe someone who hasn’t set up all season, so the games against CSI and Steau could become irrelevant after that. But we’ll see 🙂

Don’t owe you anything though, I’m gonna win next week and go on take the title 😉

UCB has been a good start, unfortunately I lost today to The Seg, he seems to be a bit of a bogey team for me lately, I think he took 6 points from me in FL1 this season too, I should look into that to avoid a repeat in the UCB 🤔

The Conference 6 Cup V Final Results

Hunt Park Rovers 0-2 South Shields
Both teams opted for a long ball style of play, as it was a rainy day for the cup final. However, South Shields played 3 up front to Hunt Park Rovers 1 which could of been the deciding factor in this game. South Shields went 1-0 up in the first half just after 20 minutes thanks to a throw in, and managed to get a second 17 minutes from time with a lovely move down the right wing to secure the victory and claim their first Conference 6 Cup!

Ummm, thanks guys, but this league isn't over yet. It's a 4 point gap with two games to play against Brain and Catalin. Two very tough opponents, so there is still work to do.  :)

at least we can also swing the UCB, been a while since it came to c6

I'm sure Brain and Catalin both said they wanted to de-throne you at the start of the season...technically they can still do that if they help me out ;-)

Poor day for us in UCB unfortunately, hopefully we can all bounce back tomorrow and and get some decent points on the board.

Finally across the line now, and confirmed as Champions!  ;D

Gotta admit I wasn't even expecting to challenge for the title when I first got promoted, the goal was a top 4 finish to qualify for the TCL next season. Nish made this title race amazingly tense this season, with a lot of banter along the way, and I've really enjoyed it. I'm sure Nish will be back next season to try and reclaim his title, it should be another exciting race.  :)

you were amazingly consistent :-D i think i was a bit overconfident at the start and that hurt me, but lesson learned. your team were definitely team of the season in c6 and well deserved!! judging the UCB results, it won't be so limited next season -Steau + CSI are sure to push it as well
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: shellyboy100 on November 06, 2020, 10:37:20 AM
Thanks guys 👍🏻

I think a key thing for me this season was the fact I played last seasons top 3, last. It gave me loads of time to develop my team this season, a week or two sooner in the season I think the results from the last 2 games may have been a bit different purely on team strength. The way the fixtures fall is all in luck and I defiantly had it on my side this season.

I expect next season to be closer too. Looking forward to the challenge of defending the title 😎

This is just what my team needed for morale-boosting. Now I'm ready for the next season :)

Well Done Catalin! You were completely in control of the game last night.

I'm relieved that game didn't contribute to the title race, not going to lie haha.

You never know, next season could be your year. You were only 4 points of the title this time round, that's not a lot to improve on.

Nope, I'll be going for the reverse 4-4-2 formation actually. So 2 at the back, 4 midfielders and 4 strikers, 2-4-4. They do say the best form of defence is attack, so I'm going to play it out of the back with my two defenders and bombard your goal from their  ;-) haha

Finally started declining then? Shame, I was happy for your decline to hold off until we finished the UCB this season ;-). I doubt losing a point across the board will affect much in our game tonight even if you play him...I don’t know if you fancy dropping him and joining my 2-4-4 formation tonight too? 😎

he started a day or two ago so he won’t make an appearance. rumor has it, he was leaking information to your lot and that’s how you rolled me so easily last time around 😬 let’s see if it changes now 😂

Thankfully, I just finished watching the Spurs documentary on Friday, I’ll know how to deal with him...it’s like my own personal Spygate this haha.

Not gonna lie though, I thought he would be more opinionated than he actually was watching that. Might be because it’s his first year they were following him around though...wouldn’t mind them documenting his 3rd year their to see if their is any change to the way he does things 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ll take a 0-0 last night, keeps my fate in my own hands from here for the rest of the season so can’t complain.

Brain has joined the title race too after a 1-0 win over Catalin to make it a 3 way battle for top spot to keep things interesting.

your wish has come true shelly :P another 3 declining now, team strength down to 770 :-0 this provides me with underdog status of note

That’s fantastic news! Usually I’m a lot grumpier on a Monday morning, but for some reason today, I’m having a great day 😉

Congratulations on the new addition to the family Nish! 🙂

This one isn’t in the bag for me yet, yourself and Brian are still within reach. But I know you two play each other next, unfortunately you can’t both lose, so I guess I’ll settle for a draw ;-)

I’ve got Catalin next too, always a difficult game.

I'm not so sure. When my team strength was over 780 I often won games in which I was tactically dominated. I think your squad is too strong atm and I need a perfect tactic (>60 minutes advantage) to have a chance.

Happy with the start of the season, played 3 of last seasons top 5 to start off with and got 7 points out of it  :)

Also me and Nish split wins last night, I’m glad it happened the way it did (me getting the c6 win, Nish winning in C1) as I know I won’t be competitive in conference 1 this season haha.

Thanks Nish,

You might be right, I have replaced a striker last season as they were all due to decline at the same time when my rebuild comes a long so I got one a few seasons early after I wrapped up the title last season. Might be why the score wasn’t as flattering as you expected, but you’re team is still very strong in my opinion, which could explain the 1-0. It’s still 3 points though, so I’ll take the result.

This is getting a bit silly now... my team has picked up 14 injuries this season, and 11 of them have been 6+ weeks or longer. Last night, I played Texas Oldham and he played 'Pansy' for the entire game against my 'Nutter' and my player is the one who picks up the Broken Thumb.

I can understand the odd injury here and there, but 14 injuries when were not even a third of the way into the season is ridiculous! I'd understand it if someone played Phycho against me the whole match and did some serious damage, but that's not even happened!  ::)

when your team gets "stronger" i notice injuries pile up. in the initial stages its mostly mild concussion and then it packs on.. maybe put it on holiday mode for 2-3 weeks?
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: shellyboy100 on January 22, 2021, 10:39:12 AM
I thought it might off had something to do with the striker I bought towards the end of last season. But the whole getting ‘stronger’ thing could be right...can only imagine it’s to slow the players development down or something like that? 🤷🏻‍♂️. I just need a few days without injuries otherwise I’m getting worried some of them will have to play, if they keep piling up.

I can’t go anywhere Nish, I want to join you in the ‘3 titles in a row club’. You’ve inspired me ;-)

i think it's to "even" the game out, a lot of people complain when results don't go their way based on team strength but if you think about it real football isn't all about strength (for a small part) and in the game if it is just a numbers game i.e. total stats, it becomes very boring. so the stronger stats wise that you get, perhaps there is something to bring the team down a little in terms of things like gelling etc. and the best way in my opinion - injuries. i could be completely wrong but it's what I've noticed

I've ended 2nd twice in a row now, be inspired by that! :P
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: shellyboy100 on January 22, 2021, 01:37:38 PM
I’ll take your word for it. I have a few players who will decline this season, so when that happens it might reduce the injuries. Can’t see it stopping in the short term future though.

Hahaha! That made me chuckle! 😂

After getting my 15th injury last night (only a 4 weeker, I'm so blessed) I thought I'd look at my strongest 11's team strength, and it's only 767, nowhere near the strongest on the game and I'm going to have 4 of them need replacing by the end of the season.

Can't play the usual 4-5-1 tonight either...ran out of midfielders, fingers crossed for a long ball 5-2-3 match, ha!

No deal. I’ve not scouted someone for a 3pm game since before Christmas, so I know I’m not going to win that one.

I’ll give you points in 111 for you to give me points in 611.

I'm doing good Becks, hope you are too!

Currently struggling to find motivation to set up these days though, I only spend 5 minutes on this every morning and then get on with my day. I usually get bored after 6 seasons on the game, and leave for 2 years then come back. I may just ditch 3pm games completely next season, so maybe it doesn't feel like I'm setting up so much...Nish is probably right, I should take a break...but I'll only consider it if he or anyone else can beat me to the title...I'm not giving that one up for free  ;)
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread

To be honest, I'm struggling to find motivation too. I logged in every day for the past 3 years and I'm thinking to take a break from SL for a few months(not 2 years..) once my current squad starts to decline.

So, I'll definitely be around for two or three more seasons and I'll try my best to win the league. :)

Thanks, but it’s not over yet, I still have Brian to play on the last day which might be tricky.
Last time I lost was on the last day of my first season here against Catalin 1-0, back in November. So it is 58 games. Would love to make it 2 complete seasons in a row though.

I noticed, his team needs almost a complete rebuild if he comes back anyway now, would be a while til he was competitive again. Hope he comes back one day though, would be a great addition to C6.

Thanks, I’ll be hoping for some promoted CPU teams at the start of next season to see if I can beat your record outright, dead on 60 games now :). I actually checked the last few seasons, and all 3 seasons in this league I’ve finished on 80 points exactly. I’ve had 5 draws the last 2 seasons and drew 2 and lost 2 the season before...good reference for what you need to do next season, and a good reference on what I need to beat lol.

Take all the time you need on your break Nish, Maybe even a few weeks?  :P I get how you feel though. I still think I need a season or so of quieter day games, so I will probably only do FL1 and TCL next season.

I’d say 765 is good enough to make a title challenge now. You may need a little more tactical advantage in some games but it is doable.

Champagne Super Rovers could also be one to watch in our league in the coming seasons, young team coming through, giving the right development, they can be title contenders in a few seasons...not sure who it is though...

Nice to have you here Jason! Always good to have new competition in the conference.  :)

Which server were you on from 06-08?

Can't remember tbh  :-\ Remind me what some of the names were? Was "monkey" one? Seems vaguely familiar.


welcome back lad 😬 your team is certainly in the reckoning

Cheers Nish. We've got a ways to go ;-) Hopefully can learn from you.

the first tradition to learn is: beat South Shields. We love him dearly, but he needs a few losses

If I remember rightly there was Smokey, Piggy, Mogzilla, Tabby, Benny, Felix, Charlie and maybe one more? 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Ignore Nish’s advice, he didn’t beat me last season, but won the league...which should prove beating me won’t help ;-).

When I last looked, like 772. But that’s before declining. I’ve got enough depth to stay around that I reckon though, when I don’t have injuries. How about yourself?

When you talk about strength of your team... what is 772? Is it the average total (minus KP) for your starting X1?

772, is the average total of my starting 11, including KP stats. To get over 800 is quite the achievement, only a handful of managers have done this I believe.

Still a long way to go Nish. I had a 6 point lead on you in my first season and you still caught me up.
4 AWOLs is horrible though, I wish I was playing you tonight ;-)

Nope, I’m trying to extend this unbeaten run as long as possible, 72 games now  :o

My first team is actually getting stronger (which you won’t want to hear) but my depth has got weaker, as I’ve had to replace 4 players this season. Already replaced 3, mainly midfielders, which is why I’ve switched to 5-2-3 now from 4-5-1 so the team strength can keep improving.

Thanks Catalin, would love to have something to show for it, 2nd still isn’t winning, so I’m hoping Rich slips up soon 😅.

This team strength should probably see me to the end of next season. I think I’ll be on a sharp decline then and wouldn’t be surprised if I was out of the title race for a few seasons.

Unbeaten in 6-1-1 and only let in 7 goals--incredible. Nicely done Shellyboy.

Thanks Jason, it was my 3rd season in a row undefeated, got a bit tight towards the end, had to ensure I didn’t lose otherwise I’d lose the Managers Table, almost fell at the last hurdle against Brian, but thankfully a draw was enough in the end.

Well done, Rockline is a solid team. I’ll be looking for a rematch next season  :)

Thanks Catalin, but I don’t think the result was fair. Like you said, strongest team won, which has saved me numerous of times in the last few seasons.

On tactics I think you deserved something out the match.

I’m never a fan of the ‘strongest team winning’ even if it is to my advantage.
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: beckham on April 18, 2021, 09:08:14 AM
Building a strong team is part of the game. I rushed into buying a few 30+ year old players and as soon as they get competitive, they start to decline and I can't really build a strong team at the moment.

In the last two seasons I had to change my entire defense line
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: shellyboy100 on April 18, 2021, 09:14:57 AM
I see, looking at your squad I can't imagine it is too far away from beating people on team strength alone? What's your current team overall?

The market is a nightmare after the double credit promotion. I had to pay 8500 credits last night for a MID (C) over 30. Usually I wouldn't do that, but I'd been waiting 6 weeks for one, and couldn't wait any longer. I need him to get up to speed for when the other midfielders decline.
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: beckham on April 18, 2021, 09:28:01 AM
Right now is at 773, but will probably drop, as I'm about to lose two more defenders (One's at 813 and the other 778 and the replacements are at 745 and 758 respectively)

And yours?
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: shellyboy100 on April 18, 2021, 09:31:22 AM
I just calculated mine, and it says 764...that can't be right...we're just selecting 'Starting Eleven', under analysis in training is that right?

Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: beckham on April 18, 2021, 09:36:05 AM
Yes, starting eleven, under Manage team/training

You probably have your 3 sub players in the starting team? I had to manually add the 3 sub players back in the first eleven and then calculate the team strength.
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: shellyboy100 on April 18, 2021, 09:39:21 AM
That's exactly what I did...I did it again and got the same...

The majority of my team is SWC of 7 & 8's. I only have one guy who has been there 3 seasons in the starting 11.

I dunno what's going on there, but it doesn't seem right...I'd of thought it would off been higher...
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: beckham on April 18, 2021, 09:50:46 AM
Maybe is because you're playing 523 and your strikers are around 770 and your average defenders around 790( I didn't calculate, I'm just assuming). My team compensates in the midfield (all of my starting midfielders are over 800)
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: shellyboy100 on April 18, 2021, 10:01:55 AM
Maybe...523 is my strongest option right now, as I’ve had to replace a load of midfielders.

I’ll try and play around with it again later...I keep getting ‘Resource Limit’ this morning for the first time in ages  ::)

now why did you have to do that? i’m sure Brian will be so upset at how you dumped him out of the cup, that he’ll give me a chance by playing his goalie as a striker 😬

You did very well on tactics last night, unfortunately that is just one of them cases where team strength came into it.

looks like we’re going to lose Gull’s team to the lower league :-( and imablade, i hope they rally.. although i get it, life has its way of taking over. today i tried to motivate myself for my 8 teams again, and it deflated so fast i don’t even think i got halfway through (i think some of them are still on pub crawl all the time 😂). if i’m honest, i wasn’t going to bother this season but Shelly, you kept me in it when you said we play each other last. at least i can have some hope before you deflate it.

Steau is favourite for next season i think, my team also on a massive decline shortly (although i may add, he has a lot of c6 titles too 😝)
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: shellyboy100 on May 01, 2021, 01:00:18 PM
Yeah, Gulls team hasn’t been there for a while, so even if he did come back, it would take a while to be competitive.

Glad I could keep you around  ;D. I just hope that last game has something to play for, your team’s untouchable at the minute. My team will probably already be in decline by the last game, so I’m gonna need your decline to be steeper than mine 😅.

I get 8 teams can be a bit draining, ever considered just cutting it down to 1 or 2?

I have bits on and off where I am and am not motived too. I’ve not studied teams all year though, apart from in FL1 last season and the cup final against Rich last week...which ironically I lost, but I’ve beat him 3 times since then not studying his team  ::)

Steau and Blues Return will battle it out for the title next season in my opnion, I think this is our last shot Nish 😂 (although you have more C6 titles though 😜)

you should sell your star players now, start the training regiment early.. you know.. so you’re back up and running faster. i think i saw some good players in the TM, go and bid! 😉 in fact, change formation and do the whole team over. give some new players a chance at the tutelage of Shelly 😬

@shellyboy100 Studying your opponents does make a difference. I haven't done that in a while. I remember when I won 4 consecutive C6 titles with a team weaker than I have now, but I used to study every team.

Now I'm trying to randomize my tactics, but it seems it's not as random as I like to believe, as some opponents always neutralize my tactics :)

You deserved the win there Nish to be honest...I had no TA there.

Doubt my team will be this strong next time we play...a few defenders will need replacing...I'm going to have to get creative with my formation to keep the starting line-up as mainly SWC 8's for the rest of the season.

I need people to take points of you too. I want to be within 3 points of you by the end of the season for our last game. Playing away to you lot, getting a win and winning the title on your turf would probably be the greatest title win ever imo  ;)

Last nights draw was probably the ideal result for Catalin and The Blues Return though to close up too, if I was either of them I’d fancy my chances right now aswell.

We’re about to find out how important fitness is on this game tonight, forgot to put my team on ‘Nice Rest’ for my 3pm games today, so the boys are gonna have to pull there finger out tonight 😬.

My own fault for setting up 10 games in 10 minutes each days really, bound to happen eventually 😂.

I didn't mind you to guys draw, but I have to start winning against big teams before thinking to win C6. Right now I think I have a Tier 2 team. And I doubt I'll get higher than that with the current generation of players.

Post by: shellyboy100 on May 06, 2021, 08:36:32 PM
I disagree, the majority of your squad is past SWC 4 which I think is when the most essential stats are maxed out. Me and Nish are on the decline, I myself had 2 defenders who should start declining any day now (not sure about Nish) but my second half of the season is going to be very difficult, especially the TM the way it is too, from the looks of things I’ll do well to replace these 2 defenders quickly.
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: KnightStars on May 06, 2021, 09:00:55 PM
i have 4/5 players who will start their decline between now and end of season. my starting line up has 2 players under 4 seasons with club (which is why even with TA like last night, it’s hard to break down the strong teams).. so i agree with Shelly, Beckham and Blues have a lot riding on this (and if not then definitely next) season. My hope is that i can build up a fair lead and ride out the last 3-4 games (and Shelly goes on holiday)

Fair play to The Killers last night they had me on tactics too. That mistake on ‘Nice Rest’ could have been bigger than I thought it turns out, I may have got a draw out of that otherwise with my team strength...may as well start the re-build now, as my title challenge is basically over 🙃

my left midfield is out for 12 weeks, so that's another weak player coming in. i wouldn't be surprised if i dropped points along the way too so don't be disheartened.

It’s not for everyone, it’s just an excuse to go outside right now. Not sure I’ll keep at it. Ha, I don’t post on social media Nish, I leave that to the youngsters and the wannabe glamour models trying to sell me there only fans  😂.

Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: shellyboy100 on May 26, 2021, 02:59:38 PM
My re-build times still aren’t great, I managed to get another two seasons out of my team by switching to 5-2-3, but the issue is actually getting the players to replace what I need.

I’m not a trainer, and can’t develop players the way managers like Sem can, so I need the superstars right of the bat...getting that in this transfer market is like Goldust though.

Thankfully, I’ve lost motivation at the best time, so I’m willing to wait for these players while also waiting for my motivation comes back 😂.

Next season will be interesting and could be one of the closest title races in ages  :o

I also have one defender in decline and I expect another one to start declining tomorrow. They were at 820 and 790+ and the replacements are at 770 and 760.

Post by: beckham on June 03, 2021, 05:01:05 PM
10K, yes. To be honest, I was hoping to save a few bucks.

Anyway, I'm willing to pay for a good defender. In two seasons he'll be ready for battle, where as with a decent defender (~630-640) it takes at least 4 seasons to develop.

Autch, I feel that. Made the same mistake 2 seasons ago. But then by selling my GK and buying a STR.
Lost to a manager that didn't even set up. Lost the title at the end by 2 points :(

Now I don't try to buy multiple players at the same day anymore due to my PTSD.

i was stressed, not going to lie. 2 first team injuries and no game the night before (as opposed to you), so i think you evened it out with the formation there or i'd have been scratching for the result. hopefully you drop some more points along the way ;)

the managers history says otherwise ;) 791 probably ranks you as the strongest team at the moment so i better hope we have longball when we play and your strikers are all awol.

champagne also look strong, probably closest rival in team strength stakes. Shelly, we’re lagging 😂

Yeah, this does look like Catalins best chance for a while this season. Relying on team strength is a great thing to have in this game, can’t wait to get it back myself 😂.

You’re on a good run yourself Nish, there is a long way to go, but you could go a 3rd season in a row undefeated if everything goes well.

with a team strength of 751 that would be quite a thing. maybe Steau can let me win this one and take the next one? ;)

Some new teams coming through In our division who can potentially put on some tough matches should they stay and commit to SL.

Sunderland
Not sure who is running this team, but I imagine it’s a former manager (we don’t get new managers here) who’s built a strong squad full of attacking midfielders and defenders.

Monkey Hangers FC
Another team full of season 1’s who will become a contender for the league title over time I’m sure.

Hey C6 teams.

Some of you have mentioned to be very busy with afternoon games to play the UCB, but hopefully this post will make some teams change their minds :)

Confirmed:
ChampagneSuperRovers
Steaua Sudului

Pending invitation:
United World FC

So we are still looking for 2 teams.
Is there any team interessed that cancelled to play anyway, or be a back-up if we don't find anyone. Else I need to find an alternative :)

I'm actually considering moving down leagues for a few seasons, and going away for a few months, to see if my passion comes back for this.

brother, i was VERY lucky. i didn’t even want to take any credit for that win (thus no message on here), that said though you can play a player out of position every time we play ;-)

Thanks Nish, that player was out of position for almost a week and I didn’t notice, would explain my poor form in all my tournaments last week.

I thought ditching the 2nd team would help for motivation and it did for 2 weeks, but this week I haven’t been focused at all.

I spend less than 5 minutes a day setting up, and to be honest it shows 🤷🏻‍♂️

It will be too late by then ;-) by that time Shelly will be peaking and then no one else really has a chance (reign of terror). In between Steau and Champagne will take a title or two as well. Throw in Gull and my lot, at best you'll take maybe 1 title ;-)

i'll be absolutely shocked if i manage to beat Steau tonight, or you on the final day (doesn't mean i won't try). the 2 declines now in my forwards have weakened my team beyond measure :-( and i have become an open book, judging by the loss of form :-P

3 teams fighting for the top spot with only 3 rounds to go. This gotta be one of the most exciting season endings I was part of.

Sadly, I'm playing Nish tonight on a muddy pitch. I'm definitely the underdog, despite what Nish just said :) But that's just my fault because I'm too lazy to to build a team that can play 2 or 3 formation styles.

It's going to be more difficult now though as every player in my current squad was bought for 500 with the exception of 1 player that was bought for 700. Now i have to compete with computer teams for 500 cred players :( - my understanding is that computer teams only bid 500 right?

Unlucky last night Nish, I don't know how you didn't get something from that game!

Champagne Super Rovers could also be one to watch in our league in the coming seasons, young team coming through, giving the right development, they can be title contenders in a few seasons...not sure who it is though...

Called it! Jason, you owe me a beer after last night  ;). Seriously though congratulations! With a team like yours I'd imagine you're favourite to retain the title next season.

well done Shelly, no complaints from my side 😊 looking forward to next season, but i agree i don’t think we’ll be in the mix. i’ve got more declines now so i’ll be happy with mid-table

well done Jason, unbeaten! you’ve had a super season bud, don’t keep it up :-D

somethings gone wrong lol, thats my account but wrong account... my user is fatfrog, and i moved to 6-2-2 with it but my team (players) stayed with in 1-1-1 with the CPU team.

the team currently in 6-1-1 is frogfat, an account i created a while back as a secondary team, but never used because i couldnt get the verification part done due to errors on site, so i just left that team wherever it was..

that account has now somehow ended up in 6-1-1 with my players from fatfrog account, and my actual username team in is 6-2-2 central with no players :D

Bit off topic, but are you a big South Shields supporter Shelly? The plans of your new stand made it onto a Torquay forum - looks pretty smart. Way it's going your progressive club will only be a league below us next season, that's if we manage to stay up of course.
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: shellyboy100 on September 17, 2021, 04:58:31 PM
Yes Gull! I am a big South Shields fan!

We’ve been fairly fortunate In the last couple of years to have such a great owner who has a lot of money and wants to give back to his local team. If it wasn’t for COVID we’d already be in the league below you. When the season got cancelled we were 9 games from the end of the season and 12 points clear at the top. I’d like to think we’d off got across the line from there.

There is lots of investment going on at Shields, new stands and constantly improving our training facility, also our players are full-time which is unheard of at that level.

I haven’t had the chance to go back to a Shields game since COVID, and I usually go to Leeds at the moment, but I may find a chance in an international break or something to try the new stand.

Should we get in the same league one day, the away fixtures for both teams is going to be one massive treck 😅
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: Gull on September 17, 2021, 05:52:45 PM
I didn't realise you were full-time, wow, there's even some clubs in the Conference National who are still semi-pro. That should stand you in good stead for your rise up the ranks.

The journey clocks in at 388 miles which is 5 miles further than Gateshead to Torquay which we had to endure a couple of times recently. It's a ballache being so isolated - it's 100 miles just to Bristol which gives you an indication of the mileage we clock up up every season. I'm sure yours will be just as bad should you make it out of the regionalised leagues.

There's certainly a Northern stranglehold of 6-1-1 at the moment though, judging by the supported clubs of users that occupy the podium places. South Shields top, Jason (Manchester United) 2nd & The Killers (Newcastle) are 3rd.

Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: shellyboy100 on September 17, 2021, 10:09:08 PM
Do you go to away days often? It must be really hard to stay enthusiastic with that much travelling, especially if your team goes through a poor patch. I'm a member of the 92 club btw, so I can totally relate lol.

I'm fine with Jason dropping away, mainly for the Manchester United connection ;) Don't think he will though, his team is insanely strong!
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: Gull on September 17, 2021, 11:11:32 PM
92?! Incredible. You made it to Torquay?

Haven't been to many away games recently, used to pick a random place & do 1 a season. Northampton, Wycombe, Rotherham etc just somewhere in the UK we haven't been.

Last away game was Weston-super-mare. First and only time I'll ever witness a wheelie bin being chucked at players celebrating a goal!  ;D

Yeah, started in 2010, when I was on something like 8 grounds, and finished in 2018. Overall I've done well over 100 grounds, would take me a while to sit and name them all though, as I've been to a fair few non-league games visiting Shields away.

Never been Torquay though, they got relegated from League 2 while doing the 92 club, and haven't come back yet. If you'd of course got promoted last season, It'd be on my list. I don't understand the conference...teams that were once battling for promotion the season before, can be battling relegation the next season...confusing league lol.

That Wheelie Bin is a weird one, haha. It's non-league for you though.

You’ve been a tough opponent, so when your team gets up to scratch I think we’re all in for a tough time.

This new season is going to probably the toughest one yet, as well as the usual 6-1-1 teams. We have a few new faces in 'Baldbean' & 'My Lovely Horse' and we also have the return of Gull!

I thought last season had quite a few twist and turns, but I'd expect a lot more this season. This season will be one of them leagues, where anyone can really beat anyone. I'm really looking forward to getting started, best of luck everyone...apart from when you play me  ;D

Close game last night I'd say Denmark. Equal on tactics, and looks like you were getting the better of me with your gelling, as you play way more games than me in the afternoon, and I didn't do a pre-season.

My team strength, probably saved me from a defeat.

Close fought game! The ace up my sleeve was drafting in an anyside defender which meant I didn't have any players out of position, but was still expecting a loss. Surprised to score when drawing on tactics as my gelling was really low.
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: Denmark_14 on October 27, 2021, 07:57:23 AM
This games mechanics are so clever  ??? the game gives me a red card in the 71st minute, it then gives him a goal instantly knowing I’m going to change to beat his tactics straight after his goal, so gives me a goal instantly knowing 3 minutes later he was going to change tactics to beat me to give him a goal, none of that is coincidence. The game knew that if I had got 75 minutes, which was 4 minutes away, and that red card hadn’t happened, I was about to win on tactics and win the game(probably). I know Beckham has a better team than me, but the game knew it had to send me off before 75 minutes so I’d change to defensive when he scored to set up his win for his attacking after 75, you can see it all unfold in my game, it’s so scripted it’s crazy, and then that loss to Gull was a little hard to take, this game is tough to take at times.
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: shellyboy100 on October 27, 2021, 10:33:10 AM
I've often thought the same Denmark. Another example is my game last night against The Blurred Crusade. I was 1-0 up at HT, but I shouldn't have been, I had no TA. 2nd half comes along, they get a man sent off, and I get 15 min TA, which is all the TA I have all game. I go on to score 3 more and win 4-0.

I know the aggression set by Blurred Crusade let him down, but It would have made sense if the 1st half was at least level, but my team strength has seen me across the line here. I'm not complaining, as it has worked in my favour, and I think I should be beating 10 men with 30 minutes left. But I have looked at match reports in the past where it has gone against me, and had the same thoughts your thinking.

Tactical advantage throughout 90mins:

Steaua 33.3%
BALDBEAN 37.8%

A close battle I'm sure you'll agree but you only had 10 men for the remaining 29mins and this isn't factoring in team strength either.

Unless I've missed the point and you are suggesting SL is rigged against BALDBEAN?  ;D

And gull I get that tactical advantage being close, if I didn’t have that man sent off and he score, I wouldn’t have switched to defensive and would of had the last 15 minutes tactical advantage making me have quite a large tactical advantage over him and maybe taking the win. Bad luck or match fixing  ;D

Can understand your disappointment - guess the red card could've gone either way. Personally I think you're out of your depth in this league & Conference 6-3-4 is probably more about your level, although there are some managerless computer teams there that you would struggle to beat.

What a game last night Tipton  :D

Indeed, i have been trying to get a second goalkeep for the last 2 weeks -Only paying 500-700 per player and with limited credits is not easy to build a team with :D , and my only GK got injured the night before so had to put a MID L in Goals(one that is ticked to be replaced) and bid on 10 goalkeepers to make sure i get one! not an ideal GK that ive picked up, bu will have to do for the next 6 seasons as back up :D

I will continue my mission of not paying for this game and doing the best i can do with buying players for 500-700 and training them up! Voting for credits is my saviour :D

Thanks Denmark, I’ve had a couple of rebuild seasons where I’ve just had to be ‘happy’ to take part, but oddly I’ve managed to get good results out of a very young and newish team over the last season or so…I just wish this form carried over to FL1 😂.

Still a long way to go, I think Mobtown and Acorn Raiders are the two strongest teams in the league right now, and they shouldn’t need a rebuild for a few seasons either, so they’ll be up there themselves for a while too.

Tipton, the match engine has done you there with the injuries & suspensions. Gives with one hand and takes away with the other. Good win regardless.

BALDBEAN, if there was an option where you could get sacked by your club on SL you'd be gone along time ago. Team with your ability lying in 10th is shambolic. 😂

Good to sign off with a win (Sorry Steaua my old friend) and go into the Xmas break with injury / suspension free squad. Mobtown / South Shields the ones to catch as per usual.

In other news I opened my SL virtual advent calendar today, door number 23, to see BALDBEAN 1pt above the relegation zone. What a treat that was.  ;D  ;D  ;D

Not researched a team or checked a match report for atleast 6 months and each day is feeling more and more like a hassle to set up.

Doesn't help with village idiot Monkey Hangers psychoing teams which takes the enjoyment out, but there's always one isn't there. Hopefully the league we have now (minus the clown) stays as it is as it's become a really competitive conference.

Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: Gull on January 09, 2022, 06:36:20 PM
You're doing the same as what you've always done & end up psychoing users with the multiple teams you have in the same division. Appreciate you have a brain the size of a pea so you may need reminding but the last time you quit the game you left your tactics on psycho and teams were butchered until you got relegated - I have no doubt this was done intentionally.

Anyone with an ounce of common sense can see what's going on, you only have to look at the Vanguard Cup then see the placement of the teams involved to have a rough idea of the situation. For anyone reading BALDBEAN was psychoed for 90mins by Droylsden and also for 30mins with Gravelneck as ref - anyone willing to do that obviously isn't playing properly nor really cares about their actions.

You may be more interested in playing COD so that's fair enough, but just because SL isn't your main gaming interest means you shouldn't try and ruin it for others - especially with the money, time & effort involved. Anyway, no hard feelings, doubt you'll change and if you do, I won't be around to see it in any case. So all the best.

  So, the great macca, Monkey hangers FC, who was highly praised and welcomed by some, forecast to do great things, has gone AWOL and left his tactics in 90 minutes psycho.  Killed my team for the season last night. one broken arm, out for 8 weeks, one broken leg, out for 12 weeks, two concussion, and one bruised shoulder out for 4 weeks.  I think that I will have to drop my team out  of 611 to a lower league for the time being.
  Not at all happy with these so called "top players" who do this and he is not the only "top player" who has done it, yet when they come back, they are welcomed with open arms by some.
     :) 8) :)

Interesting quote from Brian (how ironic) all I'm saying is wherever Monkey Hangers & "friends" goes the psychoing soon follows. As Ive said before no hard feelings but I'm not sticking around being abused.

Looks like Monkey Hangers rear it's ugly head again. Love to hear the excuse for this one, tactics were fine for the 3pm games. For the 3am game no advanced tactics, psycho for 90mins but apparently he takes the game seriously 😂😂

Although Mr Brendan Rogers correctly points out you have the right to play Psycho whenever you want, he seems to be missing the point just like our friend Mr Monkey is missing braincells - you have the right yes, doesn't mean you should though, does it!

Hopefully you get away unscathed tonight Baldy, once again shame to see this still happening. Perhaps Junior would like to cap injuries to 1 week if your opponent is playing psycho and limit the red cards -  we all know there's more chance of Mr Monkeys mental age getting into double figures than that happening though!

Thanks to all the other managers for doing their best to keep this division competitive. I had a player out of position for 3 matches early on. Didnt realize until it was too late and it killed any hopes for finishing top.

Good win for the Horses last night - was looking at Mobtown's start to the season in all competitions and was wondering whether if he was invincible  ;)

One could argue my position at the top is artificial having played all the computer teams already this season but you can only beat what's infront of you. I will probably nosedive back down to my natural position of 4th in a couple of games and normal service will be resumed ;)

I've been shocked to be completely honest!

To make matters worse, 4 of my starting XI and nearly all of my top mid's are in decline and I'm struggling to find value in the transfer market.

Great win for My Lovelys last night. Well played.

Keep the faith Gull ;)

Tactical advantage for 45' and a man advantage for 12'. Plus he appeared to have an injured player for 90'.

We scored zero goals.

Of course I realize his average was 791 and mine was 755.

Still bobbins.

Strange that a fielding a player with a significant injury with a return to fitness of 11 weeks appeared to have no effect on the game. You would've thought with the man advantage you would've nicked a win.

Seems like last night was a case of de ja vu as I escaped with a draw with 10 men for the last 15...sure your luck will change soon!

75% of my final 8 games were against teams in the top 8, cracks are beginning to show with two draws.

It's going to be a difficult ask getting that win tonight against an inform old foe Steaua Sudului, unfortunately a draw may not be enough because of goal difference if results don't go my way elsewhere.

Been a good end to the season and with My Lovely Horse looking dead and buried a while ago they've got every chance of sneaking into first right at the very end.

I need a central defender and I think I’m done, however more May start declining in the coming seasons, but that’s always going to happen.

Don’t think they’ll be a slot in 6-1-1 next season though unless someone leaves, 6-1-2 top 4 spots are consumed by human players, and I’d expect the human player to win the play-offs, so it may be a season longer til I’m back up with you guys 🤷🏻‍♂️

I gamble every season that my main GK doesn't get injured due to the fact my reserve GK is weak and doesn't get rotated - unfortunately my no.1 suffered a 12 week injury. This will see my team average drop from 790s to 776.

Annoyingly this may be the end of my push for a top 3 finish in both 6-1-1 and FL1.

Sorry ITALIANO - I needed that win to keep my own faint title hopes alive!

That game where I lost 12-1 to Grays has really cost me this season, I'd be top on goal difference as it stands.

I think a win for Acorn Raiders against ITALIANO may just be enough for the title - great end to the season though. 8)

So United World don’t turn up ALL season, then for some strange reason they decide to log in and change there tactics when they play me for the last game of the season? Something a little fishy there

http://smokey2.sundayleague.com/cgi-bin/sundayleague/match.pl?fixtureid=11263584

They play attacking all game, but I even done attacking after kick off (just incase) then switch to counter to beat there attack, but they still got that right.. switching to defensive to beat my counter a spot on. So cheeky man, well done Acorn on the title, great season for you
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread
Post by: Gull on August 04, 2022, 07:47:09 AM
Strange but perhaps they've just returned after a break? Looks like he left when his team started declining. Been on holiday mode for last few seasons, lucky it didn't matter in the end.

Well played last night Steaua - had enough of playing you at the end of season! Congrats to Anthony, worthy winner this season, too consistent and too good.

Great effort Italiano coming 3rd with a lot of players in your team early in their development.

Mark - What United world done is just weird, even if he just returned from a break, the decent thing to do was leave his tactics alone, he was relegated anyway, he was just trying to be a knob, maybe he is friends with Brendan Rodgers, that would explain a lot!!

Deciding to turn up last game of the season to try and do someone over, considering how close our league was this year, goal difference could of made a massive difference that last game, is a piss take. That’s all.

Luckily it never effected me though, otherwise I would of moaned and quit the game  ;D ;D  ;D

Getting there. Next season I expect a top 4 finish in 6-1-1 and promotion back to FL1.

When I came back in 2021, I bought a LOT of expensive young players and trained them up over 5-6 seasons. We were solid for about 5 seasons. Unfortunately, I didn't plan ahead, so I had too many players simultaneously in decline. I've got a new strategy this time and I am cautiously optimistic!

Wanted to avoid playing Acorns in the first game - my gelling was awful and theirs was boosted with the CS game the night before. With indifferent gelling & Acorn going through a rebuild knew this would finish in scoreline you don't see too often. 2-2 but not a loss so can't complain.

Going for

1. Steaua Sudului
2. My Lovely Horse (depending whether he actually takes this season seriously, squad is still very strong)

Can't win a x-1-1 on Sunday League without beating the big teams...I'm not getting my hopes up. ITALIANO is stronger and has more depth than my team...I could win the last 5 games and it could be for nothing is Walpster wins his too.
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread

Exciting end to 6-1-1 and the title still very much up for grabs. South Shields has done amazingly well with a new side to be in with a shout of the title, his 5-2-3 being a tough nut to crack.

ITALIANO still the slight favourite and has a great season with a side that still has plenty of improvement left. I could do you massive favour on the last day of the season although I've been misfiring this campaign so don't hold your breath  ;)

I’m off Gull. I think everyone on here knows what they’re getting when they play SL. Shit customer service, with a buggy, but simple game that is still very enjoyable.

I don’t think anyone expects to be getting notifications when they log in that the site isn’t secure etc, the fact it hasn’t been addressed by Junior either is embarrising. If Junior spoke up about what has happened, how he plans to fix it etc, I’d probably stay. But he won’t do that.

I’ll move the team out of 6-1-1 next season, open to anyone who wants the ICC and EC spot.

I'm a little late to the party, but I finally decided to play the infamous 2-5-3. Looking back to 2018-2019 4-5-1 was simply crushing, what happened since then, no one was playing 2-5-3 back then, or something happened to the game engine?

If you can't beat 'em join 'em, Catalin.

Around 2018-19 I don't think 6-1-1 was as strong as it was now nor were there many teams playing 2-5-3. I know Nish was, yourself 4-5-1. I was 5-2-3ATT. Brian was 4-5-1...

Decent first half, but unfortunately for me it's not over yet. Tomorrow my best defender (843) will start to decline and soon my best midfielder will follow, so I think the second half will be very interesting. IMO top 4 is still in contention for the title.

With 14-14 wins. The pressure is right on you now this second half of the season   ;D

Imagine going unbeaten the entire season  :o

I’m just patiently waiting for you to slip up so I can take that top spot and remain the champion of
6-1-1  8)

It isn’t looking likely though  :(

Urgh, the usual 1-0 defeat to any team that's half decent  ;D
Outclassed last night and any faint hopes of putting in a title challenge has vanished.

Steaua looks home and dry at this point.

We can't have Steaua winning 30 out of 30, he's making a mockery out of us all.

We must stop this! :-[

Good to see 5 out of 6 teams in Elite Cup action last night winning their games.

A really close start to the season, only 3pts separate 1st to 8th place.

I can still put out a team @ 799, but have 5 players on SWC10 and pretty sure some if not all will be declining at some point.

Going to be an exciting end to the season in 6-1-1. Pretty sure all the top teams have to play each other at some point.

Myself, Mobtown & ITALIANO (mystery caretaker) all will feature in the Elite Cup QF tomorrow, good advert for 6-1-1.

Looks like the league is yours this season Gull, although you do have Catalin for your last game of the season  : I have Acorn Raiders, a great finish to the league, oh, and just for the record… there was no mystery caretaker, it has always been me  ;) I just wanted to stay quiet for a little while as I’m a big baby and sulk all the time when results don’t go my way haha

I missed out on the title on GD a few seasons ago because I failed to beat Steaua Sudului - this time around a draw could be enough if ITALIANO fails to beat Acorn!

It's now 1 GD and 3 points separating top 3. You and I are +1 over the Italians. Best of luck tonight...

Be tough to get a win against Steaua tonight. He has his whole side on 100 fitness and no injuries, awols or suspension. 4-5-1 suited to the weather conditions so no advantage for me there.

I do however have a defender on 100 morale so it could mean a good performance from him will help keep the goals out. Team I'm putting out tonight is 796 so still strong enough to win.

Hoping for atleast a draw but wouldn't be surprised to see you sneak in at the death as me and ITALIANO both have tough games.

Great season guys, I must admit, I was pretty confident that I would grab the title from you the last game of the season Gull ;D ;D but well done mate, a very close season, congratulations on the title, you deserved it!

Welcome to 6-1-1 Arcadia Bay, you have made our league a little more tough to win next season. Will Gull working on a rebuild, the league could be interesting.

My predictions,

1st - Mobtown
2nd - Catalin
3rd - ITALIANO (or Gull)

Thought COC would be more competitive and 6-1-1 would be better represented with a side not going through a rebuild.

Well played last night, was expecting a hammering to be honest. I thought passing conditions would heavily involve my midfield which is my weakest area of my team.

I just want to let you all know I'll be taking a few months off from the game.

I know it's not fair for those of you who I've already played against, now that everyone else will face a computer team, but I couldn't wait until the end of the season.
I've logged in every day for 7 years and in the last 2-3 years I didn't even care if I lose or win, I just kept playing for the sake of it.

Hope to be back soon with the drive and passion I used to have for the game.

Good luck everyone!

Sorry to hear this Catalin. I have been there a few times over the years and hopefully you will be back soon with the SL bug once again.

I have to say though, I'm disappointed with the timing as we are 1/4 way through the season, so the 7 teams you didn't play now have a free 6 points. This could have been done at the beginning/end of a season, or even at the halfway point.
Title: Re: Conference 6 Thread

You are right and I apologize for that. I should've wait for the halfway point. I won't be doing this again.

Always sad to hear someone taking a break from SL.
As much as I feel it is unfair to step away in the middle of a competition, life is to short to spend time on things you are not enjoying at the moment.

Maybe you can find someone to "babysit" your account in C6 if it only is for a couple of months.

It would keep a top team active, aswell if you return it takes away a few seasons of rebuilding.

You are in the telegram group chat, so you might get some updates on how your team is doing, and keeps you slightly more interressed in the game, without the feeling
that you need to log in every single day.

Perhaps... but just like the real thing, its part of the game. There are bits I can control and bits I cannot.

I made a huge error playing against you earlier in the season--lost 1-6. Had multiple players erroneously out of position. Totally within my control.

More sour about that then I am another manager playing nutter/psycho when its unnecessary.
