Title: Conference One Discussion
Post by: richff on March 27, 2012, 05:31:04 PM
Just thought I'd start up this thread as we haven't had any banter for ages!  :(

League was a close run thing this season with only one point in it. I think the top four should be able to have a good stab at the UCB this year (if we run it!)

Any predictions for next season?  ;D

Anybody know why In Wenger We Trust has moved to 8-1-4?

I'm hoping for a top eight finish in my first season in the top flight. I'm expecting a very tough battle, though, and tbf I wouldn't be disappointed if I do so much as avoid relegation.

Good luck to all!

I don't get it either? He stayed for one season didn't win so moved into a division that he will win!

Welcome to 1-1-1 flicko, glad to see another post!   ;)

Post by: flicko10 on April 01, 2012, 03:50:47 PM
I'm not quite sure he jumped ship so to speak, if you go on his team page then it shows  that he's in The Champions Shield, yet he finished 2nd last season?

Thanks for the welcome, mate. Please be gentle  :P

Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: richff on April 14, 2012, 08:11:06 AM
UCB places go to:

Super Imps
Birmingham City FC
AFC Chester
Subgenius

These were the top 4 when I checked after 7 games cos I can't remember how the table finished last year! Especially after In Wenger We Trust's rapid appearance and departure.

Looks like LOTR Elite are the unlucky ones as they look to have established a top 4 space now. Sorry Jordan, the way you're climbing at the moment you're sure to be included next season.

It's a bit quiet on the Conference One thread so please join in and lets have some banter!  8)

yes a very quiet thread  :D had a good start this season. Hopefully ill stay in the top 4  :)
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: flicko10 on April 15, 2012, 04:21:36 PM
Not to worry richff, I don't think my team is strong enough yet, and I'm still slipping up in quite a few games. But as with everything, it'll get better in time.

Gutted with my result last night, from winning the same opponent in a PL game 6-1 to losing 2-1 in the division in the space of a few hours was not what I expected! And could be crucial in my race for a top 8 finish

Better pick it up tomorrow.
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: flicko10 on April 20, 2012, 11:22:54 AM
It's all gone Pete Tong for LOTR (not so) elite!

Too many slip ups have really put a serious dent in my top 4 hopes

Can't see anybody catching (or beating) Super Imps this season, I think another unbeaten season is the cards
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: sween1978 on April 20, 2012, 06:53:31 PM
agree with that Super Imps are going to walk away with it. Battered me 6-0 the other day  :(

I'm roaming in the lower ranks of conference 1, and it's very boring, so I'll be looking forward to joining you in a few seasons (probably one and a half)!
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion

Be good to have one of the 'big boys' back in Conference 1.  ;)
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: flicko10 on May 12, 2012, 05:46:07 PM
What's that now richff, two seasons unbeaten?

Mighty impressive, congrats again!

Well chuffed with my finish in the top 4, especially considering after the first 15 games I'd lost 7; unbeaten in my last 9 games though which helped me clinch fourth spot on the final day.

Look forward to next season
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: richff on May 13, 2012, 03:01:29 PM
Thanks for that and well done yourself.

You'll be in the Champions League and Ultimate Conference Battle next season so a good channce to test yourself with the big boys!

Well done to the guys in this seasons UCB, we may be second from bottom but well in the mix. Keep racking up the points and we'll soon climb the table!

All the best

Rich
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: flicko10 on May 24, 2012, 08:28:41 AM
Maybe if the Gods were on my side (and my team was better), that 2 season+ unbeaten record would have gone last night richff! Ah well, there's always the return fixture  :)

Looking like a more competitive league this year, should be fun. Not sure where Premier League Heros is but as the reigning champions shield holder, you'd expect him to put up a decent fight when/if he does return

Still a bit gutted about my first game, I set up a 5-2-3 game with my 4-5-1 formation still in place, had it not been for that I think I would have won. These things happen though, and I've managed to pick myself up and not concede a goal since.

Good luck to all!
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: richff on May 24, 2012, 10:21:13 PM
Yeah you should have gone ahead in those first 60mins....I was lucky there!

The luck seems to go your way at the top....but if you're at the bottom you can't buy a win  ;D

Hi con1 could you please sign up your UCB team as soon as possible. Afc Chester already signed up so you're just missing 3 teams  ;)
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: flicko10 on June 02, 2012, 04:31:43 PM
Im going to go ahead any rule myself out for selection for this (if i was to be considered anyway), as I'm off on holiday very soon so will not be in charge of my team.

As well as Afc Chester & Super Imps, I think picking any from-

- Birmingham City FC
- Subgenius
- Trabzonspor
- Port Morrow
- The StArs

.. Would be more than capable of putting up a real challenge. Obviously the ball is in your court as captain richff, just throwing in my two cents
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: shellyboy100 on June 16, 2012, 12:46:50 PM
Hey guys, just incase you didn't know, I'm taking control of flicko's team as of today.

I used to be in 1-1-1 a few years ago now, where I played teams like Sydney FC Hammers, Queenslander and Reject City, to name a few...

Obviously the teams have changed in the league over these years, and I look forward to a good couple of games with you guys with whats left for the season, and hopefully push-on next season  :)

I have AFC Chester tonight, should be a close game, and it could be the final "nail in the coffin" for LOTR Elite's Champions League hope...
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: Chili on June 17, 2012, 12:03:30 PM
I guess we'll be fighting it out next season then, Shellyboy.  ;) Will be good to get Port Morrow out of the kids league.
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: shellyboy100 on June 17, 2012, 02:06:41 PM
I look forward too it  :)

Hopefully I'll stand a better chance at getting a result with this team, than my Shields. Although I don't have my hopes high for next season, I lost last night 2-1 while only being down on tactics for all of 9 minutes  ::)

But, you have to take these results when your players aren't the most talented in the league.
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: richff on June 28, 2012, 07:14:10 AM
Well done to Subgenius for winning Conf  ;D. well deserved.

It was a good battle this season with no easy games. I could never get a settled team due to injuries and I particularly didn't like my 2 DefR geting random AWOLs for the crunch game of the season! Thanks SL match engine  >:(  ;)

Should be interesting next season with some new blood  :D
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: Chili on July 04, 2012, 10:22:27 AM
Good luck tonight, Rich! Very curious to find out whether my team is strong enough to keep up with the big boys, I guess I'll find out tonight!
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: richff on July 06, 2012, 07:25:26 AM
Looks like it's strong enough!  :(

The TA look similar at 30mins each so team strength and me fielding slightly weaker 4-3-3 probably made the difference.

Good luck mate  :D
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: Chili on July 06, 2012, 09:24:39 AM
I guess they are, but I find it surprising given the starting 11 being only 710 at its best (4-5-1). :o

Oh well, I'll try to have more faith in Pete Doherty's manager abilities. ;D He's must be doing something right to produce good results with a relatively poor team.
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: Turner on July 12, 2012, 06:34:39 PM
Hey Con1,

I have started preparing the UCB and I'm planning on going with the teams entered last season. I will post them up again in case you want to make changes or if some of the entered teams are no longer willing to participate. I would appreciate it if the teams involved could indicate if they're still willing to enter. I apologize for taking so long to organize this, but it's quite a hectic summer for me.  :-[

Con1 UCB selection:

1. Super Imps Confirmed
2. Missing team
3. Subgenius  Confirmed
4. AFC Chester Confirmed

Ok you're only missing 1 team. I will start looking for a replacement, if you prefer to look yourselves let me know. I will look for the strongest possible team  ;)
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: Turner on July 19, 2012, 09:31:48 AM
What about Chili's Port Morrow? I know it's his 1st season in 1-1-1, but Chiii is a Top manager and he seems to be the only one that can keep up with you guys this season. Don't know if he is willing yet as he also has UNIV CRAIOVA in the UCB.
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: Chili on July 19, 2012, 09:54:22 AM
Unfortunately I don't have any credits to spend on PLs with Port Morrow, sorry. :(
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: Turner on July 19, 2012, 10:19:06 AM
If that is the only reason then don't worry about it I will transfer the credits to your account. It will only cost you a loss with Colour City against my Ryders in 3-1-1 :P :D

Ok I already sent the request you should hopefully receive them soon  ;)
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion

Congrats with another title, Rich. Don't know how Subgenius took it last season, losing point is clearly a foreign concept to your team. ;)

Good luck tonight to the Super Imps and Team Georgia-MayaJay in the Champions Shield. Of 8 teams conference 1 has 2 in the quarters. Not as strong a showing in the Elite Cup and Inter Conference Cup however but still flying the flag for the lads in Conference 1, Good Luck lads !

Congratulations to the Super Imps on taking the conference this season running away with it at the end there. Commiserations to Nortee and the rest. 1-1-1 is looking well represented in the ICC. Give it a season or 2, Cork city reds are joining you next season with their team of anysiders and hopefully a season after that ill be throwing a spanner into your collective works and winning the conference first try back  ;)

ok guys, im thinking on how to inject some life into our conference, so, i was going to change the Dangerzone League to a knockout exclusively for teams in Conference 1, from all divisions. Theres 1 or 2 great teams in the divisions just below 1-1-1 and i think a wee bit of competition would be interesting. So im going to Private message all the 1-1-1ers and the few other teams who MAY take part with the password and see where it takes us. Any reservations?  ;)

Sorry guys, ballsed it up that it wont let me change it to a KO but we'll slog through a quick 8 man league and start next time round if y'all are up for it?
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on January 10, 2016, 01:22:36 PM
Alright guys 1st day of the DangerzONE Cup, good luck to all. 6 teams from 1-1-1, 1 team from 1-1-3 and 1 team from 1-1-4. The top 2 in the conference play eachother on the first day as do the only two teams not in the top division.... All for One and One for All... this shit writes itsself!  :P

1      Super Imps   11   10   0   1   34   4   30   
2   The Huckley Way   11   6   2   3   44   14   20   
3   Fc Twente Bensons   11   6   2   3   23   11   20   
4   The Flashhearts   11   6   1   4   20   15   19   
5   The Delhi Dilemma   11   5   1   5   21   14   16   
6   Subgenius   11   4   1   6   34   16   13

8   Yorkies Strollers   11   0   0   11   6   87   0

okay guys, 3 games left and Rich has solidified his place as the best of Conference 1. Just 2nd place to play for amongst Chris, Jon and myself. Gavins 1-1-1 team maybe just a bit too outside the pack to climb to 2nd. Cant help but feel i underperformed this competition so the gloves are off next season for the Knockout  ;)  S

Once again proving himself to be the strongest team in the conference Rich runs away with the DangerzONE Cup, Chris takes 2nd place with goal difference over Jon. A good competition guys, is everyone cool to play next season? And are there any preferences between a knockout and a league?
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on January 24, 2016, 04:05:45 PM
AND double congratulations are in order to Rich for winning 1-1-1 with 4 games to go, no mean feat when you consider all the excellent teams in 1-1-1! Looking forward to making it a bit more difficult for you in a few seasons time mate ;)

Yeaaaaaaaa.... looks like i challenged a season or 2 too soon, lol. I do think 3-0 was a tad extreme though Rich, it was my 30th birthday and you just had to go all out didnt you?

Well Done Rich on another excellent season, and topping the manager table as well, too good mate. I know i said it last season but the next one will be different... Looking forward to a tighter season with Jon and Mihai making it all the tougher.  8)

it's not me anymore the one who manages Title Chasers :(
I gave the account away last year and I never been able to get it back despite my efforts to get in touch with the fellow in charge.
So I've started a new account (it's seedorf in 6-1-3 with UNIV.CRAIOVA)
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on May 07, 2016, 11:42:13 AM
Well thats a bit crap... i remember UNIV. CRAIOVA from my last foray on Smokey under the Mihai name, i just thought you were managing 2 accounts.

Post by: bigdealdave on May 07, 2016, 11:52:52 AM
Super Imps   vs    Rocked Off United   
The Flashhearts     vs    Title Chasers
United Cats   vs    Fc Twente Bensons   
The Delhi Dilemma   vs    Nortee   
The Huckley Way   vs    Subgenius   
Team Georgia-MayaJay   vs    Somerset Rebels   
App Frod Juniors    vs    American Misfits   
Red Devils United   vs    Devil in Red

First matches in the new season and the top 3 in last seasons 1-1-1 take on 3 of the top from last seasons 1-1-2... And a confusing battle between two teams whose names are too similar for my drink addled mind... lets see who the real Red Devils are!
Not that im trying to give myself the spotlight or anything but i think match of the day is between my own Flashhearts and the Title Chasers or Jons Fc Twente Bensons and United Cats  :D
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion

Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on May 08, 2016, 10:14:36 AM
Well theres a shame, i was looking forward to getting a contender out of the way in the 1st game. Title Chasers have moved to conference 4 for some reason so im left with a computer team. Looks like all eyes on United Cats Vs. Fc Twente Bensons tonight. Good luck all round
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: Jt21 on May 08, 2016, 11:18:36 AM
Obviously he couldn't hack it at the top! I've just noticed I've been drawn against super imps in the elite cup, oh well  :'( good luck tonight everyone!
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on May 08, 2016, 01:19:12 PM
i noticed that too, its a shame someone has to go out so soon and we lose someone from our conference in the 1st round
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: richff on May 08, 2016, 08:04:47 PM
Rocked off United have disappeared too! We must be scary in -1-1 😊

I've a computer team with all the players awl.  Guess it's a 3-0 win 😕
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on May 09, 2016, 10:50:08 AM
its a bit crap isnt it? i was looking forward to a good tough opener and hopefully win and get them out of the way... although can we just end the league as it stands now? lol
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: MartinW63 on May 09, 2016, 01:23:34 PM
The real problem with this is when someone decides to take the spot. If it's early in the campaign it may not effect goal difference. If this happens later it can make a difference. I lost a title to GD this way a few seasons ago as the computer team was replaced by someone who knew what they were doing after 10 or so games. It's likely to happen again in C8 to me this time ( if I can play well enough - highly unlikely) as I now play the computer team last in the cycle of 15......
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion

Hard Luck Rich, Congrats to the 20 pack of Bensons, Jon you should play identical tactics in the next round and see whos stronger

Post by: Jt21 on May 16, 2016, 07:16:41 PM
Ha I'd love to dave but I don't trust bensons to be able to go all the way,I think the donks have a slight better chance so I'm gona have to sacrifice them I'm afraid.
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion

Yeah Dave, a big couple of days. Good luck mate although obviously not too much!

At least one of us will bring a 'major' back to Conference 1.

I'm chuffed with winning FL1. Seem to have had lots of injuries this season so nice to be free of them. Be gentle with me over the next few days 😀

Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: richff on June 11, 2016, 08:54:24 AM
Yeah equal TA so 3-0 is a bit harsh!

My defence has awesome stats at the moment but won't last for much longer 😕. You'll be ahead of me on stats in 2 or 3 seasons when your team will peak 😀.

Round 3 today so good luck mate.
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on June 11, 2016, 09:25:42 PM
i know, its just subconsciously 3-0 feels like i was whupped when i beat some of the top teams to get to the final, ah well, Jon youre next up tomorrow ;)
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: spiteri on June 12, 2016, 12:50:29 PM

Haha, thats exactly what was on my mind during the last few games, "do it for Marv!"

If I somehow win tonight (very doubtful) that means il finish above rich and not win the league!! Which just shows how good a season you've had dave! Well done too Marv I can't seem to touch you when it comes to the league! I've been struggling for time lately to sign in and do tactics properly etc but that's no excuse,maybe next season

cheers jt.. had great runs in conf 2 over the last 6 seasons.. it will end at some point, if anything next season will be my weakest as I have a lot of new players and a few injuries or awols will see me struggle to find a suitable formation  :o

Post by: bigdealdave on August 15, 2016, 12:50:38 PM
4 games into the season and iv 3 of my first team out with injuries, two broken collar bones and a painful back injury. This seems a bit harsh. I had a pretty blessed injury free season a couple of seasons back (fat lot of good it did me against Rich  :o ) where it was just concussions and i think 1 sprained wrist the whole term so maybe this is just the match engine getting back at me.

Ducati making me work for 3 points last night and Huckers holding Jon to a 2-2 stalemate, things are interesting early this one guys  :o

Aaand now another of my top players has a broken arm, thats 4 games and 4 long term injuries... If it continues at this ratio ill be lucky with a top half finish! Well... A bit of a saving grace that Rich was held to a draw. Im not liking my chances tonight Jon with half my starters hacked to pieces... You play pansy with Wilmot Piddlewaithe dont you  ;)
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on August 19, 2016, 10:58:14 AM
Good luck tonight Rich, an earlyish top of the table clash, id be happy with a draw, I dont like the idea of you being 4 points ahead after 8 games.... Hopefully thats a moot point though and i storm through to victory lol   ;)

Really... I havent had a full strength team out since game 1 which was mildly irking, but honestly i think this is just too much  >:( :(

Ouch! I feel your pain mate. One times this game kicks you in the teeth but you'll get through it 😊👍

Just one of those seasons i suppose, another broken finger last night to keep me on my toes.  ::)

Post by: bigdealdave on August 26, 2016, 01:12:01 PM
Okay guys, 12 games into the season and im pretty sure on record there isnt a team in the history of SL that comes close to matching my injuries...

Game 1- a painful back injury
Game 2- a mild concussion
Game 3- a broken collar bone
Game 4- a broken collar bone
Game 5- a broken arm
Game 6- two mild concussions
Game 7- a bruised shoulder
Game 8- a bruised shoulder and a mild concussion

At this point i had the Champions Shield round 3... Which resulted in  >:(...
A BROKEN LEG, A BROKEN CHEEKBONE AND A BROKEN COLLARBONE!

Game 9- hallelujah!!! No injuries!
Game 10- a broken finger
Game 11- a mild concussion

Elite Cup Round 2- broken collar bone

Game 12- a painful back injury

Seriously... SMDH

Post by: Jt21 on August 26, 2016, 03:31:34 PM
God dave dunno what you're complaining at its just one or two injuries 😉 No seriously though mate that's harsh but shows how good a job you're doing that your still cruising the league!
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on August 27, 2016, 11:38:51 AM
i know Jon, but its no doubt affecting my PL games too, its just frustrating seeing fitness, moral and gelling so low all the time.

the first half of the season isnt over yet so its a long way from being over. Rich got unlucky last night with the Black Flag setting up and countering almost perfectly, that was a cheap loss man.  :-\
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: richff on August 28, 2016, 11:12:41 AM
Not expecting much from this season anyway. I 'm in Turkey at the moment just chilling (or sweltering!).

Just about setting up but resting before I make a comeback next season 😀
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on August 29, 2016, 08:41:16 PM
well the season is only halfway through after tonights match so ill not count chickens!

Enjoy Turkey Rich, if you could just relax and not set up for our FL1 match that would be great too  ;)

i had a shocker today and im putting it down to low morale and gelling just after injuries, i think i should have played lower stat players instead of my usual starters. This is how we learn things  ::)

Lol thanks man its greatly appreciated, 3 points separating the top 5! Sure you dont want to donate 3 points to me tomorrow as well in our FL1 match mate?  ;)

2nd leg league match too tomorrow night, i think unless you win thats this season sewn up too  8) ;D

... Its not over till its over tho... :-X

Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on September 10, 2016, 10:42:10 AM
I wouldnt say that mate, two hard fought matches there... It could be time for counting chickens in 1-1-1 this season methinks...

The top 5 in FL1 still have it all to play for as well  8)
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on September 20, 2016, 09:29:17 PM
Ill do my best to bring home the gold tonight in the Elite Cup for the conference guys... I think if i get some TA itll be a tight match.

Wee factoid tho...

FLORIANA HAVENT LOST A MATCH SINCE 2nd SEPTEMBER!!!

thats like an 18 day unbeaten run playing quite a few PLs, a crazy streak...

All streaks come to an end tho right?  ???

Still early! I'm peed off about a mid c that I bought when

I'm sure spiteri had the same issue with a defender bought on the cusp of his 30s.. must be a glitch, worth keeping an eye on...

Title: Re: Conference One Discussion

Getting to the nitty gritty now guys... Jon and i just hoping for a wee stumble from Rich.... Hopefully Ducati can make this more interesting tonight  ;)

Your wish came true Dave 😁. You could have done me favour in FL1 today though 😞😊
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on November 08, 2016, 10:13:53 PM
Its not the first time a red cards done me in... actually... was it not an elite cup final or semi final you might have gotten the best of me with one too. I was hoping for a win to boost my confidance because were okaying a CS semifinal tomorrow too.

HOWEVER... One thing at a time... good luck tonight Rich... but again not too much  ;)
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on November 09, 2016, 10:56:00 AM

Dont i know it! Just checked out his team though and 1 player has just gone 11 seasons. It wont make a difference tonight but its a relief to see them peaking lol.

Congratulations on FL1 too mate, pretty annoyed i faltered too much and didnt make top 3 but thats a hell of a record youve got now!
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion

Well if my friendlies match today against A.C.Upstreet says anything its that im not champ yet.

Its this 15 minute subs situation

Winning 2-0 at half time then keeper gets a broken collar bone at 50 minutes... Lose 2-3 in the end. Im not annoyed because it wasnt an important match but tonight is lol.

Cheers Marv, if all goes to plan its definitely a helluva comeback!

Thanks Rich, it was a much needed confidence boost. Its daunting to see how well youre doing in FL1 (after i beat you 1st game ;) ) Definitely made up that i grabbed 3 points in out 1st leg this season. A nice +5 goal difference today i see against Right Enuff? The Friendly Leagues are really excellent this season, so tight!
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on December 12, 2016, 10:44:52 AM
Good game last night Jon, had me tactically, the only thing i can take solace from is you havent rendered any of my players crippled so for that i thank you. Looks like its gunna be another tight finish this season with United Cats purrforming so well (get it)  ;) Definitely a shock to see the imps out of the top 3 as well, especially sitting so high in FL1. Good luck in your upcoming games guys :)
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: richff on December 12, 2016, 04:05:37 PM
My league form is terrible at the moment!  Think my player stats just aren't good enough but hope to compete at the top next season 😊. Good luck to all 😆
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on December 12, 2016, 05:30:05 PM
Iv always found 1-1-1 to be a tricky league. The steadfast 12 teams who are pretty much always involved are capable of taking points from anywhere when the top few are beaten tactically. Im going to enjoy this battle to the end with Jon, hes foiled my plans too many times this season, gotta get that #1 spot back! ;)
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: Jt21 on December 12, 2016, 08:21:27 PM
Cheers dave I've been picking up some decent results against you lately which makes a nice change!! I agree with this league I'm never confident of a result against any of the top 12

Yeah, luckily i scraped away with just 2 mild concussions...

Im aiming for a win today in FL1 mate, im not just trying to render your whole team unfit, swear!

Also i sent you a private message about setting up a Universal Cup Group when you get the chance man  :)
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on December 26, 2016, 02:50:10 PM

Well done rich you pretty much had me on tactics anyway so think I'd of struggled to get anything without the sending off. Well done on another title dave!
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on December 27, 2016, 12:01:56 PM
Still 2 games left, nothings certain but i definitely owe Rich a christmas drink for that one. Unlucky Jon, if you end up pulling it back i very much hope Donks and Fish take their conferences too, that would be a super achievememt!
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on December 30, 2016, 05:44:55 PM
Nice wee bit of retribution for you in the Server Cup today Jon, i cant be too mad, my aggression with terence frisk is always an issue, if i play normal the whole match i always seem to get someone sent off! Hope you go the whole way buddy  8)

Thats how it goes mate, Flashheart rule put on ice for a season ;) lol

Post by: bigdealdave on February 15, 2017, 11:08:03 AM
Congratulations Jon and Fc Twente Bensons on their first conference victory! I enjoyed the whole season, there was just no slowing you down mate!

Next season i reckon Rich will be back with a vengance tho and with my team half full of rookies id say its between you two for the top spot!

AND, on a slightly different note...

Lets show The rest of them in the UCB just why we're the best!!!

Dropped silly points last night so I need a win tonight. You've already beaten me once today so twice would be greedy wouldn't it? 😁
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: richff on March 09, 2017, 10:26:10 PM
Great win in the UCB today boys. Fantastic effort and with Nanosoft stepping up it's going to be difficult to pick the top 4 next season!

Up the Conference 1 😊

Post by: bigdealdave on March 19, 2017, 06:18:09 PM
Well with my recent form i didnt expect to win 3/3 semis today. Glad the Champions League will be coming home with Conference 1 tomorrow Rich, its weird but almost every time we have a league match we have a big PL game that day too... Good luck in them both mate  8)
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion

Post by: richff on March 20, 2017, 08:06:10 PM
Cheers Dave, I'm sure you'll have better luck in the other two!

Need to win tonight to keep the pressure on Jon otherwise it will all be over 😀 No pressure!

Well that makes the last few games interesting doesnt it?
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: richff on March 31, 2017, 06:15:28 PM
Looking at the goal difference Jon will have to drop points in both matches for me to have any chance of catching him.

Unlikely.........? 😉
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: Jt21 on March 31, 2017, 10:20:16 PM
I've gone into hiding 🕵🏻 I've balled conf 6 up and it looks like I'm about to balls conf 1 up too!!
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on April 02, 2017, 11:27:09 AM
Last night made you virtually the conference 1 champ Jon, commiserations to Rich but goal difference going into the last game is muchly in Jons favour...

Also well done on winning the Champion of Champions, i hope whoever represents for us next season keeps up our sterling tradition of ass kicking! ;)


What about conferences 2 and 6 tho?  :-X ;)
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: Jt21 on April 02, 2017, 12:20:08 PM
Phewwwww needed that! Great effort rich although I could still mathematically lose it! Conf 6 has gone I've got no chance of that and conf 2 is a straight shootout after Davy pegged me back last night!
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on April 02, 2017, 03:40:23 PM
I just want the madbastids to hold 4th for the Champions League next season. Cubana just pipped me to the final of the world cup there today (well done Deca). Need to regroup for next season...


In other news Eidur Yelpin has exactly one season left from today... next seasons title(s)  ;) are for Eidur!!!

You deserved it Dave, been untouchable in capture the flag. Hoping one of the teams I haven't played twice can nick it from you and steal it from them lol good competition though mate
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion

First blood to you Dave but hoping to bounce back tonight. Thought I was a bit unlucky to lose that one but my defeat to The Seg today baffles me. Anybody have a clue how I lost that one?  😕
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: cha4zz on April 09, 2017, 07:31:04 PM
Yeah I couldn't work that one out, assumed it was a random treat from the game engine. Thought I'd finally out-tacticed you at first!
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: richff on April 09, 2017, 09:52:46 PM
Bit of a weird one that. Thought I'd made a mistake at first but can't see it!

Oh well hope I get a result I shouldn't soon 😊
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on April 10, 2017, 11:02:08 AM
Very lucky to get a draw out of that one Rich, you had me tactically!

Ill happily take 1 point there!

Wow the match engine was really hard on my team yesterday! Hope it's a one off and not the sign of things to come 😯

Round 1 to you Dave.

Bit disappointed I fell behind because I was 30-12 up on TA at the time! Seems my team is struggling with its mojo at the moment 😀. Hope to get it back for Round 2 ☺
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion

Congratulations Dave on another Conf 1 title. It feels like a long time since I last won it! I'll be itching to get it next season 😀. A conference 1/2 double as well!

I'll be consoling myself on a beach in Majorca today so life's not too bad 😁.

Better get my head back in the game cos I've got two big finals today.

Well done to all the Conference 1 players who made it an enjoyable and exciting season 👏👍
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on May 20, 2017, 10:33:18 AM
Thanks Rich, well chuffed on the double.

Reclaiming Conference 1 was the goal this season, glad i made it before a couple of key players start their decline into senility lol.

I think itll be hard to look past the Imps next season though mate... we'll try and put up a good fight  ;)
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion

Thats Austintowne left for conference 4, looks like United Cats will be top of the league after tonight playing a computer team with 3 GKs on AWOL!  ::)

Good Luck this season everyone... except Rich lol  ;)
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on May 31, 2017, 12:55:15 PM
Another key player on the decline... heres hoping i get this 22yo any side Defender tonight... with 10 bids already at 1pm i dont like my chances!  ::)
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: The Borg on May 31, 2017, 02:57:48 PM
Urgh, your not bidding for him too, are you?

I have been fairly lucky on the market lately. Picking up 17yo anyside strikers x2. 17yo defender.

This defender is gonna go for premium price.
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on May 31, 2017, 04:22:10 PM
i think i deserve him after you thrashing the Madbastids 4-0 today!!!  :P lol

Oh bugger - both my left sided defenders are injured for at least 4 days!

With games against Dave and John coming up in the league, an ICC QF, FL Cup SF, and other private league games in that period my season's done! 😯😣😠

Post by: bigdealdave on June 11, 2017, 02:49:40 PM
Im barely getting a minute setting up being away on hols Rich but thats bad news, id rather demolish a 100% Super Imps... Knowing your lot tho it wont be as cut and dry, ill be happy with a draw mate!

You're still in pole position mate.

Elite Cup coming to Conference 1 too! 😊
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on July 03, 2017, 10:03:10 PM
its coming home lol

I totally didn't expect to do as well as i have this season, happy to get on the podium in FL1 and get a gold cup final. If i can hold you guys off these last 2 games its a very successful season considering half the lads are rookies now.

It wasnt until today i realised that the Madbastids are in the CS Semis with Borg tonight as well!!!

The Champions Shield has always eluded me! Fingers crossed for a result tonight!
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: richff on July 04, 2017, 06:39:45 AM
Well done on beating Borg last night and good luck in the CS final.

I should concentrate on winning that one rather than the Elite Cup final! 😂😉

... but at what cost?

 :-\

Hopefully i can scrape a few wins together over the next few days playing a C Def in a R DEF position. I dont like my chances in the Server Cup Semis tho Jon  :-X
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: richff on July 15, 2017, 03:58:53 PM
Unlucky mate .......I feel a bit guilty now! I saw something on the forum indicating a harder a aggression gave an advantage so thought I'd try it.

However disappointing result for me 😕. We had equal TA and I thought I had a stronger team! At this rate I'll never win this division again! 😳
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on July 15, 2017, 06:27:53 PM
Alls fair in love and SL.

I wouldnt say that Rich, im sure youll win FL1 this season as well lol. I know i thought id need to be beating you over half the match tactically to challenge. Did Okay in my PLs today in spite of the out of position player, these are the things that show what managers are made of ;)
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on July 24, 2017, 09:42:57 AM
Well last night shook things up, Weve managed to keep you from the #1 spot for quite a while now man, because when you get there its bloody hard to topple you, this season should be a real test!
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion

Well played Subgenius holding the Imps there. Just GD at the top now, however im having a real balls of it this season - thats twice iv had my L DEFence crippled and having to play a C DEF instead. Its effected my champion of champions and FL league this season  >:(

Hope i can stand strong against the Dilemma tonight to keep the pressure on!
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on August 04, 2017, 10:43:56 AM
Top 4 tonight, i think its a must-win for me as well., lest the Imps go on with a 5 point lead at the top   :-X

Good luck all  8)

Gonna have to roll my sleeves up again 💪
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on August 05, 2017, 10:54:04 AM
very happy waking up to that result Rich, especially since a top 3 finish in FL1 is pretty impossible now. Still plenty more games left in the league tho. And Jons still very much in it too! :o

Hoping that now I've broken the jinx, I can win this a little more often! 😁

But a few players retiring now so should be ready to challenge again in another 8 seasons! 😯

Good luck to all for next season.

It wasnt a super season, especially getting knocked out 3 cups yesterday (due to a managerial oversight  :-\ )

However, papa Dave is bringing home the bacon to Conference 1 with the Champions Shield!
Absolutely made-up at finally winning this!

Good luck to everyone in the upcoming season! 1-1-1 all the way!

Post by: shellyboy100 on August 31, 2017, 02:34:56 PM
Very happy with my start to this season, I've got myself off to a strong start for my relegation battle with 9 points out of a possible 9.  8)

Didn't expect to beat The Huckley Way on the first day but I'll take it.

Maybe my team is capable of more than a relegation battle?  :o

I'm hoping if I can avoid relegation, I can maybe go a step further and get myself a spot in the ICC next season, with a top 8 finish.  8)
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on September 01, 2017, 10:45:09 AM
yeah Daniel it was a great opening result against Huckers. Just 3 teams with 100% records 3 games in.

Ive got the Negative Amigos tonight, i always find them difficult to play so we'll see how things look tomorrow  :-X
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: shellyboy100 on September 01, 2017, 07:24:28 PM
Yeah, last season I tried to play a lot of friendlies against 1-1-1 teams to see where I could expect to finish, I spent most the time getting battered, and I thought it'd take a lot longer than it has to get to 9 points haha.

This weekend has a lot of interesting games though, tomorrow night you play Rich, and FC Twente Bensons play The Huckley Way.

Then on Sunday, I play you  :-\

Your team has over a 100 point value advantage on my team...If I manage tactical advantage for the whole game, I may still struggle to get a draw.

Still, I know my team isn't a title contender this season, as it needs to develop, but hopefully the season after next, I'll be able to challenge for it  8)

Drop a couple of points in FL1 as well would ya?

Post by: shellyboy100 on September 25, 2017, 07:49:48 AM
I really didn't expect a draw last night. I didn't even bother with AT as I thought Daves team was too strong, and it wouldn't matter what I played.

I did my team rating before the game and I'm at 662. Nowhere near the level of Flashhearts, so I think it's a odd result. Every point counts in my relegation battle though, so I'll take it!  8)

Post by: bigdealdave on September 25, 2017, 09:41:42 AM
I have to admit i expected a win but thats what happens in SL, im not going to complain, it keeps things interesting. The Flashhearts will strike back! If they get a chance... Lol
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion

Doh! 442 after 60 mins - I didn't do that.....did I?  😕
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on September 28, 2017, 02:16:39 PM
Rich, Rich, Rich... i most definitely feel for you, its not a nice way to drop points but on the other hand im gunna do my utmost to capitalize!

Seriously with a newly reformed Lowes A, RKS City and Rosenborgsvagen all joining us next season 1-1-1 is set to be tight!
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: shellyboy100 on October 05, 2017, 11:39:58 AM
Confirmed my place in 1-1-1 next season with that win last night  ;D

Even though my second half of the season was a lot better than my first half, with the teams coming up I believe I'll still be in a relegation battle next season. I'll tough it out though and be pushing for the title in a few seasons  ;)

Shocked to see rich have a 4-4 draw last night. He used all 3 subs in the first minute though and then got an injured keeper in the 2nd half. You could argue he got away with a 4-4 draw with an injured keeper, but it's Dave's title to lose now as far as I'm concerned.
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: richff on October 05, 2017, 01:13:19 PM
Not happy with that result, 3-0 up and cruising until keeper got injured. Then conceded 3 despite having the majority of the TA. Dave please win the next two games cos then it would have been impossible to catch you and then I won't be as mad with the match engine! 😠 😟 😲
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on October 05, 2017, 02:20:41 PM
That was extremely harsh! Not how id like to have stretched the lead but yeah ill be aiming for 2 wins definitely Rich, hopefully put your mind at ease but with Jon tomorrow night theres no guarantees.
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: shellyboy100 on October 05, 2017, 04:19:36 PM
This is just my opinion, but I don't really think it was a harsh result.

If you sub all your players in the first minute you know the risks if someone gets injured, and it's always possible a player was going to get injured with a nutter ref. It was just unlucky it was the keeper, but it was a big injury too taking a fitness down to 0% and you had no subs. Rich basically had no keeper for the last 32 minutes of the game.

Ok, in real life, if that happened an outfield player would have went in goal, but the game engine wouldn't do that on here and we all know it. I get Rich's frustration after having a big tactical advantage and this most likely costing him the title, but it was basically an open goal for the last 32 minutes, shots from anywhere would have been going in, which is why I thought he was lucky to get away with the 4-4 draw.

It's things like this, that makes me not understand why everyone uses 3 subs in first minute/ fifteen minutes.

I'm not saying this to Wind Rich up or anything but, can someone explain the advantage of it to me? Because I can't see it 🤔.
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: richff on October 05, 2017, 08:43:05 PM
You get a big boost when you use 3 subs Daniel. I first noticed the Borg doing this and beating me all the time!

The other advantage is that injuries after the subs don't affect that players performance - unless it's the keeper 😯

You're right that it's a bit of a gamble but believe me it's worth it!

It's not often the keeper gets injured and last night it cost me dear as it was at a critical stage of the season.

I've calmed down now so it's all good. This morning I was wondering why it happened to me! 😀

Well done Dave! Hard fought til the end! 👍🏻

Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: richff on October 08, 2017, 09:18:51 AM
Yup, but still makes that 4-4 result and 442 formation cock-up in the last few games difficult to swallow 😢

I guess I would have needed two more goals as you might have beaten me on goals scored if goal difference was level? Makes you wonder what would have happened I'd we had been exactly level. Who would the match engine have chosen for the Champions Shield? 😀

Anyway beaten by the better team so well done on a great season mate. Had a lot of players retiring halfway through the season so had to play two season oners  in my first eleven towards the end!

Glad I seem to be doing Conference One proud in my one and only attempt at the Champion of Champions! 😂

Good luck to all next season 👍☺
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on October 08, 2017, 09:33:15 AM
I always wondered that myself if we were completely equal what the outcome would be.

If it werent for those 2 costly blips i think it wouldve been your season too mate, im (kinda) glad you made them. Weve been at eachothers heels in everything this season, long may it continue.

Great work in the Champion of Champions too mate, ill do my best to mirror your efforts next season  :)

Well done Dave great effort! Hard lines rich I’m sure the next one won’t be too far away! I was quite surprised to see a win against you Dave without really setting up, maybe that’s the way forward against you!
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: shellyboy100 on October 13, 2017, 08:24:41 AM
Two CPU teams in the league last night as 2 of last seasons top 3 changed to different conferences.

I wonder if anyone will come to conference 1? I’d be surprised if they did considering how many players we have on here.

I may have set myself up for a difficult start to the season tomorrow. I’ve done no pre-season preparation for any of my teams this season, as I’ve had a few things on this week and had to turn my attention away from the game. Which means all my gelling for all my teams will be at 0.

I’m back now though, and ready for the new season, let’s get started on another relegation battle and some shock results!  8)

Not a good start to the day for me to find three of my first eleven had gone AWOL!

However today's games went well and really pleased to beat you Dave in the Cup Final - thought you'd be too strong for me 😊

I don't think lightning will strike twice though and I'd be pleased with a draw tonight 👍😯

im actually quite annoyed, i thought id won the Beer Cup before, turns out i still have that and the ICC to go! Darn it!

Hopefully get revenge tonight, if i dont get at least a draw itll make for a hell of an uphill struggle!

Thought you got a bit lucky last night Dave and I should have won that on TA. Guess my team strength just isn't good enough at the moment.

At least it's kept things interesting!  Just got to wait for you to drop some points now ...but you didn't in the first half of the season! 😯😉

See I've got you again today but injuries, bans and AWOLs have decimated my team 😕

Good luck today mate but maybe not for Thursday 😁😉
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on November 07, 2017, 09:40:24 AM
I checked when i woke up and realised how very lucky i got to salvage that match. Hard luck Rich, i would feel a bit robbed too i think it was 60mins TA for you and 15 for me? Still a boatload of games left though, Subgenius, Ducati and Huckers to name but a few capable of taking 3 points when they show up so its another close season!

Just looked at your situation for today... Your midfield is non-existant! If i dont win ill be miffed lol. And i didnt know what you meant by Thursday until i checked.... The ICC semis.... C'mon mate, youve won it loads! Share the wealth  ;)
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: richff on November 07, 2017, 10:58:27 AM
Ha, the ICC is a comp I usually struggle to get past the first two rounds! If there was such thing as a bogey competition, the ICC would be mine 😩

If I can't beat you with all that TA then the semis might be a struggle! 😉

Looking good for FL1 mate 😉 👍

I got a random sending off today on 26 mins against Davy ' Winter in FL1 😕. Lucky to get a draw cos he put on the wrong boots! 😁.

Unfortunately due to lack of time recently and not putting as much focus as I should be, something had to give so I have decided to move R.V to the lower leagues until I can give 100% to this team as well as my others.

Mr C

PS - That means there is a space in Conference One in 7th Spot, Comfortably 12 pts ahead of 8th place so a good shout at an ICC Spot for next season if anyone wants it.

I'm sure you'll be plenty competitive! Your goalkeepers, defence and attack look awesome. Just the midfield that may be weaker but only if you get injuries - I'm sure you'll still be right up there 😉

The season after next we'll have Shellyboy's South Shields join us so should make things interesting 😀

Good luck to all next season 👍

Well i just did the calculations, playing 451 im at 797 strength which is great because my midfield as you say are only going to get stronger.

However playing 541 im actually still at 801 strength for a wee while longer as im gonna lose one of my veteran defenders soon... so its not as bleak as i originally thought...

Didnt help me this season though did it? lol

Im interested to know what your team strength is Rich?
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on March 12, 2018, 06:54:10 PM
And also have you checked the team Westeros XI out in 1-1-4?...

All but 1 of his players are ten seasoners... and of pretty damnably high quality too - by the time he reaches 1-1-1 he looks set for a team strength nearing 800!!!

I was about to feel sorry for you then but saw the team you had available:

Goalkeeper. ..awesome
3 out of 4 defenders.....amazing
5 midfielders.....All 99 stats
Striker......Fox in the box

Don't think you've got too much to worry about there mate 😉

With you playing the Champions Shield game last night, in theory your players will each have 30 more gelling points than mine! 😕

Well a win last night just keeps me clinging on to Dave's coat tails!

Chilling in Turkey at the moment, drinking cocktails in 32 degrees so my bad form this season doesn't seem to matter right now  😎

Overnight rehab not working at the moment, players fitness levels in 60s and 70s and injuries not reducing overnight - happened 2 nights running 😕 anyone else noticed this?
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bigdealdave on May 25, 2018, 08:27:51 AM
Yes Rich ive noticed that too with both my teams  :-\

Some new signings and injuries have hit my team strength hard so ill do well to keep my lead, pretty sure my aim for top 3 in FL1 wont happen either but as needs must to stay competitive.

Im off to a blues festival camping tonight and wont be back until late tomorrow so might not get a chance to set up for PLs

They call themselves "Lions", but we have  Dragons, Wolves, Lions,  Brave  B*****ds, Evil B*****ds, Wizards, Sorceresses, Warrior Kings, Generals, something I can't say beginning with C, khals, Giants and one or two feisty lads and lasses in our team.

As Daenerys says  " I have come to take what is mine"  Mr C is a would be usurper.

The South Shields 1-1 curse strikes again!!

With 9 games left and only 2 points separating the top 4 teams this could be one of the closest seasons we have ever seen on SL??

Key Title Run in Games

29/07
Westeros v OCO
Imps v Flashhearts

30/07
Westeros v Flashhearts

01/08
OCO v Flashhearts
Westeros v Imps

02/08
OCO v Imps

I wonder where this title will end up!??

Yeah we definitely have 4 very strong teams here, league positions right now mean diddly squat. I dont recall having seen anything this tight on SL. Team strength wise i dont believe theres a lot in it either. Itll be won on managerial prowice!

An epic battle for sure. 

But I climb all the way to the top and then you say this :

"league positions mean diddly squat"

You will be pushing me off, next.   :)

Dave, since you are going off with  a back pack I hope you realise that you will owe less favours to others if you don't progress in the Elite Cup tonight  so they won't have to manage your team in that as well.  Just thought I'd point it out, like.

More big games coming up.  Ramsay Bolton didnt seem to strike fear into Mr C last night,  and allowed him to walk away with his meatballs and the points.  We will try different tactics against BigDeal Dave tonight....maybe the beguiling Ygritte could saunter over to Dave's cave.

Far too much beer was drunk by the Westerosi manager last night resulting him falling asleep while trying to set up his team .

Its been a great season though guys.  We are out of it now but three of you fight on to enjoy the last 2 games.  Enjoy!

We may have lost this battle but will regroup  to come back next season.

Thanks Jose - that was a very tight and enjoyable season and chuffed to have just come out on top.

A great battle with even the lower teams taking points off those at the top. A strong Conference and I reckon the top four could give anyone a run for their money - bring back the UCB! 😜😊
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: 3 Eyed Raven on August 06, 2018, 11:48:49 AM
 8)  I'd prefer not to be known as Jose.  Thats an unfortunate username that i used when i set up the account as he had replaced LVG at Man United.  Unfortunately I hadn't realised by then that his style of football would be so boring as to make me not want to watch it and I can't change th username.   David is my real name and I'm happy with David,  DVG or 3 Eye .  I had intended  to keep the ownership of Westeros a secret and was hoping to create a mysterious aura of who the 3 Eyed Raven was but in the end, when i was asked,  it just seemed better to answer.  I am rebuilding DVG Stars ,but to be honest, not with the same enthusiasm that I built The original DVG Stars or Westros. For the Stars  I has a spreadsheet which showed when each player in each position would reach his peak so that I could time purchases in the transfer market to always have a replacement reaching a good standard at the sam time as another passed his peak.  That can be done with a little switching between the preferred formation and use of any sides players. I can't motivate myself to do it for the rebuild. Maybe I should have kept the old Stars going as the hard work was done but I found it too much to manage 2 teams and perhaps mistakenly when i raised i would be concentration on Westeros for a while I dismantled the Stars so that the could be strong after Westeros peaked.  8) 8). Westeros are a bit different.  They are timed to all peak at once so that I will be able  use any formation I want to suit the conditions in big games and not worry about injuries .  The real dream is to win a champions shield or elite cup.  DVG Stars got to finals but then failed ( apart from an ICC) due to not being at their best when it mattered. .  We will see what happens with Westeros and being in 1-1-1 will not make it easy to even qualify for a champions shield but 1-1-1  is also a big prize.  Once Westeros  have peaked I'll need to decide whether to continue with them or  gp back to DVG.   But in the meantime.  Westeros are here for the next 4 seasons  :) 

Do you remember when we used to have a thread of "meet the manager"  It would be good to hear from some of the new managers.  I'll bounce that thread up to the top.

Yep. Tough start for the Westerosi  but into battle we go.  Good luck, all. 

This season might look a bit different with the fixtures in a different order.  I think the teams that finished in the top 4 all had the lead at some point last season  but Huckley Way finished only 2 points behind. If the fixtures had been a different way round they would probably have featured more and I expect to see more of them this season.

PS if my post last night was a little cryptic i was just pointing out that a draw would not have put you level with a superior goal difference as you were thinking.  cos Rich would also have gained a pint so he would still have been leading.  Good job you won , then.  :)

Well done Dan, you pipped me to the post! I find it harder to win this conference more than anything else!  Haven' t checked the stats but only had about 3 wins in the last 12. At least that was followed up by 3 wins out of 3 in the Champions of Champions 😃

Looking forward to the battle again next season with the mighty Westeros getting better and better over the next 3 seasons.

Cheers Rich.  Conference One is certainly difficult and worth winning, thanks to the likes of yourself.  I missed being in the champions shield these past two seasons so I'm pleased to have a crack at that next season and yes,  getting 48 points for the final match against yourself  certainly helped with managers table. I was grateful to have built that goal difference up over the season, cos I would not have fancied  that final game if needed a win or draw. Looking forward to next season.  8)

Many congratulations on the title.  That was a hard fought season ( well I was  fighting hard) and you came out on top...yet again.  My team was at it's peak, 810 in stats is very hard to beat,  but I wasn't able to defend last season's win so extra well done to you mate.

I'm going to take a break in the New Year and regroup ready to come back in 3 or 4 seasons...probably in a different league, maybe with DVG Stars back in Conf 4. (although I may play in a few of the shorter day time competitions until my team declines) . Good luck with further establishing your legend status and Happy New Year as champion .

Decent start from The Beachboys who have been put on a strict training regime of defence, defence, defence ever since they were formed only a couple of months ago. "I'm aiming to create a formidable back 5" said the Brazil gaffer. With games against Purple Gelato, United Cats and Super Imps on the horizon, many people have suggested the Samba Boys show their strikeforce a bit of attention. "If they can't score we can't lose" claimed Gull.  ;)

Hopefully we'll meet in the final to show how strong Conference 1 is. You've just got to get past the Villains, currently managed by another Conference 1 manager.

I'm sure Kush will go easy on you! 😉 See you in Division 1 next season.

2 of those were against me in the final  >:( .... Revenge will be sweet my friend! Muahaha

I think you might be a slight favourite for the CS semi Kush but it would be good to have an all conference 1 final, not sure if the same conference have had a champs shield final for a few years. Tight league between you two boys at the moment in 1-1-1!

I sure will be favourite buddy in terms of team strength as the Villains are pretty strong at the moment (780+).
You got me today in the server cup, nice win so it's going to be a tough match for sure :)

As much as I’d love to say I’m going to crash the Conference 1 final here. I can’t see myself matching rich anytime soon. My teams still new, and it looks like Rich is currently managing his strongest ever team.

My best hope is rich makes a mistake on tactics, but that’s not likely to happen. I’ve not checked the match details itself yet, but I’m praying for a long ball match so I have a chance of hanging on til ET and getting the random goal.

It’s been tough just trying to keep up with the Super Imps in the Challenge League...it was going fairly well until the last two games, haha.

Despite my planning it looks like I've got a bit of a rebuild next season 😯

Should be fun with Chaz joining the party 😉

Thanks guys.

That win was a big one yesterday and I am surely odds on favourite now but it is still not over.
I have a very difficult game tomorrow against Joanie and even though I should be expected to win on the last day, anything can happen.

I would also love to win the managers table as I have never come 1st before but the job isn't done yet!

Looking forward to our CS game tonight Chazz, good luck :D

Wow Chaz, I  really feel for you after today's Server Cup QF.

Really embarrassed to win that one after you bossed the first 75 mins and all of extra time!

The match engine should give more advantage to tactics over team strength 😳

Thanks Chazz. You will be one to watch out for next season for sure. Very impressed with how your young team has performed this season.
I also think Pilsners of Belgium will be another dark horse next season. Another young and upcoming team who knows how to train their players.
Will only be a matter of time when they become really strong and cause problems.

Rich, we meet again in another final. Should be an epic game as usual  8)

I'm looking very forward to the challenges coming ahead next season and I will be looking very forward to also retaining my title  ;)

Great to see Chazz with us next season and Nish will also be with us soon with his Black Star Knights franchise!

Congrats on winning the Elite Cup yesterday Rich and bringing the Elite Cup back to C1. Let's see if you can do the same in the CS final :D

Roll on next season!

Got my revenge in the CS final Kush 😀

Despite you taking the league, not a bad season for me as reached all three major finals and won two of them.

Looking forward to the new challenges next season although going to lose about 5 first teamers within the first few games.

Come on you Imps ✌
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: captain_kush on June 23, 2020, 02:35:42 PM
Well done Rich. You still had a stellar season regardless :)

Unusual for you to have to replace 5 first team players.... I guess it will make me retaining next season easier ;)

My best midfielder has declined now but I have some decent reserves.

Good luck to all next season!
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: cha4zz on June 23, 2020, 05:23:54 PM
Well done Rich on the CS, I can imagine there was extra satisfaction in that one with Kush taking 1-1-1 from you.

Looking forward to next season, team should be competitive to try and compete for a top 4 finish. Toying with replacing a couple of players each season from now on so that I never have a full rebuild - will see what the transfer market is looking like and replace a couple of older players with quality if possible.

Good luck all for next season, what are the chances of me drawing Kush in the first round of the CS? ;D

You are most certainly more than ready and I am sure you will be up there and causing everyone all sorts of problems  8)

Rich is the main man here in C1 and will always be the King, but the King Slayer is looking forward to whooping you all soon come  ::)

I've noticed I have been conceding goals rather easily when I'm down on tactics so I will have to do some magic tonight.
Can't afford to drop to many points early and need to get that momentum back  8)

I will get the UCB rolling once TCL/TEL has started.

I will need a few days to make my mind up.

Not a terrible start back but disappointed to draw in my last game - no arguments with the result though.

No probs Kush about UCB, I think most conferences would love to have the ~8/9 managers that you could easily pick to take part. I think Rich, yourself and jimbo should be involved - I'm really not envious of you having to pick the 4th spot ;D

Post by: richff on July 09, 2020, 09:47:53 AM
Ouch, well played Jimbo I got a bloody nose there!

Although you beat me up on TA I would usually expect a 2-1 loss, not 3-0 😕

Just shows the state of my team at the moment, and injuries to my two best right back options have severely weakened my team. I obviously didn't plan well with so many declining around the same time.

Always learning on this game and think it's going to be a long hard season with the great competition we've got in 1-1-1 this season 😀👍
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: jimbo on July 09, 2020, 10:27:37 AM
Wow, I wasn't expecting to win let alone 3-0! On a sour note, one of my first 11 central midfielders picked up a painful back injury, which will weaken my squad for the next week. However, this result has made it very tight at the top  :)

I must be honest, a lot of my players have been declining this season so have quite a few season 1 players that have come in but have managed to just about keep a strong enough starting 11 to compete. My two right mids are declining right now so will need to replace those too. It sounds like we are going through a similar period of transition and planning is key especially the timing of SWC.

Agree, looking forward to challenging season ahead and 1-1-1 is certainly very competitive.  8)
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: captain_kush on July 09, 2020, 03:08:32 PM
Great result there Jimbo, was not expecting that scoreline.... Always very rare and extremely difficult to score 3 goals against Rich.
Glad to be right at the top now and I shall reclaim first position very soon  8) Just hoping no more GK injuries mid game haha.

Very competitive season so far which is awesome.. I'm happy I still haven't lost a game yet ... That's 41 games now and still counting  :D

I've got a dilemma! I want to join C1 next season - do I wait until the end of the season and gamble on their being a spot in 111 opened by someone leaving, or make the move to 121 now and make a surge to the Play-Offs in the second half of the season?  :-\
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: KnightStars on July 13, 2020, 07:06:08 AM
rarely a spot open in c1, 112 probably best bet. also gives team a chance to grow, unless relegation sounds fun ;) (well that’s my strategy anyways)
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: cha4zz on July 13, 2020, 11:30:45 AM
Contrast, I'd probably join 1-1-2. 15 of the 16 teams in C1 manage every game whereas in 1-1-2 you'd only be 8 points off the playoffs now and I'm certain that you would still get promoted.

Good luck when you decide to come over!

Didn't expected that the sweeper formation would perform like this. But still not sure what the strenghts and weaknesses are in every type of condition. I feel like it's average on everything.

A shame you didn't manage to log in and set up mate but I will take it  :P
I normally set up late aswell and I did notice you didn't set up... was wondering if you was trying to bluff me but I know your not that type.
It is still all to play for with only 5 points separating the top 4 with 11 games still left to play.

Sorry to hear about your daughter Jimbo, hope she gets well soon!

Thank you for your kind words. Absolutely, it's been an exciting league so far with plenty of big games to keep it competitive which is great. Best of luck for the rest of the season  8)

First and foremost sorry to hear about your daughter Jimbo hope she gets better soon.

Can't wait to get involved in this in a couple of seasons such a competitive league with great managers, been watching the battle closely at the top and it's changing every couple of games going to be a very interesting end to the season  8)

Thank you very much  :)

Will be good to have you one board in 1-1-1  8)

This game confuses me sometimes - been a bit unlucky this season with results, then undeservedly beat Joanie last night.

Well, that was slightly harsh! Equal tactical advantage for all but 10 mins!  :o

Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: cha4zz on August 17, 2020, 09:26:13 AM
I think it might be time to change the formation from this 3412 that I've been trying for the last few seasons.

It was useful to get me started and got me challenging fairly quickly but it's just able to compete against the top teams. For example, last night I lost 4-1 to Jimbo when losing the tactical advantage 50-40. Not saying that I deserved to get anything out of the game but I wouldn't have expected to lose 4-1 unless I'd been dominated for almost all of the game.

I'll see how the season fares with the formation and then likely go back to 253 at the end, so may not be completely competitive for a couple more seasons!
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: jimbo on August 17, 2020, 09:54:48 AM
Good game last night Chazz. I was fortunate to win by that scoreline and should have been closer based on the TA. You have done well since promotion last season and formations is always something to consider with the match engine. I am certain you will be pushing for the top positions in 1-1-1 for seasons to come  :)

Best of luck with the rest of the campaign  8)

Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: captain_kush on August 19, 2020, 06:00:38 PM
Yes, I am also looking to change from my 4-1-4-1 back to normal formations with my Kushberry team.

Getting pretty annoyed with it now. I've enjoyed good success with it but it seems I can't get it back, so it's time for a new change.
I reckon 5-2-3 longball is still probably the best formation.

Fantastic achievement for C1... We all did really well and dominated throughout the entire competition.
Let's hope for a repeat when the next UCB is up and running :) Really good to see that the two top 2 teams were from C1.

Harsh result there yesterday Joanie, I do apologise. You should have certainly got something out of the game with the current strength of your team.

Gripping stuff indeed you would have thought a 19-0 win would have clawed some GD back but no CSI Birchington only go and match it with a 19-0 win of their own... the battle continues I've got my 2 best midfielders out and with us playing at the start of the second round of fixtures this is going to be so tough  8)

i am sorry for the injuries, any long-term injury sucks. On that balance, we both got one and you had two mild concussions which isn't so bad all things considered, which could have happened with nutter just as easily. The substitutions at 1 minute is a gamble, and this is the price. Ultimately that was the aim on the tactics side i had to try something so that the base tactics can be "even" and the result went with that in the end (imo).

It was set to go to nutter if i was losing by 1 (i believed if you went 1 up i had no chance) and to normal if losing by 2 (abandoning the aggression tactic completely). i only divulge that, to show there was absolutely no malice in using the tactic (the only time i use it with malice is against saiyan warriors). if i recall, you once said you use the psycho as a tactic too -within reason. if your mind has changed, i missed that (not that it would have changed my style of tactic for this game)

I am not complaining about anything but it just sucks because I don't think I would have lost that game if it wasn't for the injuries, given my current team strength and momentum but it's cool. Highly doubt I would of got those 3 injuries (irrespective of long term or not) had you not been on psycho for the full 90. I guess I only have myself to blame for not scoring the first goal but I wasn't expecting that from you if I am honest or I would have done something similar.

Upon my return back to SL yes your right, I did use psycho as a tactic at times. I actually have not gone psycho in any game for at least the past 11 seasons (except when I was in C3 against you know who). I stopped doing it out of etiquette and respect because there was a gentleman's agreement with some managers regarding this (not all). And also ofcourse because you are more likely to injure/get injured as I did notice this when I was doing my research. I felt that the injuries for and against outweighed the advantage of using psycho and that is another reason to why I don't use it anymore.

It's all good though, fairplay to you and well done on the W.
I will learn from my mistakes  8)

i agree with you 100 percent, without those injuries there’s no chance i would win. my white star team are nowhere close to your teams and it was a toss of the dice that turned the result. i get your disappointment (more now, than earlier even). that said, you’re still one of the best managers this game has ever seen so i’m still going to pop a wine in celebration ;)

re injuries, i’ve noticed (maybe wrongly) that nutter gets me a lot of the concussion injury, so i based my opinion on that (for both the team playing it and the team experiencing it). again though you are right, psycho did tilt the odds -and again i’m honestly sorry for the long term injury. i never want to cripple a team for such a long time.. :(

that’s a fair stance, personally speaking- i don’t mind if you use it on me. it was a hail-mary from me, normally 99/100 times you’d canter that one.. i hope to spring the odd surprise on you here and there, without psycho 😬 good luck for the run-in bud, much respect to you as ALWAYS!

Not sure why I only drew last night - had slight tactical advantage, better player stats, and Ty has only been playing league games for the past week so should be well up on gelling. I guess my team is going through a dip in form and we all have games we should have won or lost right? - that's the beauty of the game  ☺

Anyway my backs against the wall now and we've got a nice little warm up game this afternoon!

Wow, the title is going to the wire today! I have to win to guarantee the championship. If I draw and Super Imps win Rich will take the crown. If I lose and Purple Gelato win, then Kush is the champ. This is a really exciting end to the season  8)

Best of luck  :)

Would anyone mind looking at this game and letting me know if I've got players out of position?

Very strange result there Chaz.

Even more weird when Frisk is the referee and he favours continental play in general and your opponent was on longball...

Hey chazz,
Jimbo selected your squad The Seg for the UCB this season.
I messaged you twice ingame for this, but not sure if you've received it.

So if you are interessed in playing UCB this season for conf 1, can you let me know something.
Can you please also let me know something if ur not willing to play, then we can look for someone else.

Greetings,
Sem

Looks like The Imps have taken back their crown this season, but the real drama seems to be between 2nd and 9th as everyone clambers for TCL and TEL positions, as well as qualification for the ICC. I think everyone of the next 8 teams will fancy their chances of sneaking into that Top 4!

Those of a betting persuasion would say Purple Gelato, United Cats and Fulhams Finest are the most likely, but I think one or two of us are quietly optimistic of breaking the C1 big four up this season . . . !

Only looks set to get tougher next season, with one of the CSI-Franchise joining us, and any two of App Frod, Team Georgia, Nortee and co battling to come up. Big question is, what happened to Joe's Touchnplay?! Looks like a Play-Off looms for them after soaring up through the C1 lower echelons.

I have to agree with you mate, Rich has surely got the division wrapped up this season adding another league trophy to his already one of a kind cabinet  8)

I've not had the best performances this season but, I'm happy to be currently 2nd given that I'm taking a bit of a break at the same time.

An 89th minute winner yday against Jimbo could help me seal my top 4 place this season. That red card screwed you over for sure. I've noticed a lot of cards being handed out recently, I think it's that time again to lower aggression  ???

I agree, a very solid performance from Rich so far this season. It's great to have competition for top 4/6/8 and gives everyone something to play for. I must admit I thought I was very lucky to win 1-1-1 last season and my target this season is to finish in the top 4, still lots of twists and turns I'm sure. Yes, it will be decent to see more quality coming through 1-1-2  8)

I think I'm with you here Kush. Not been a brilliant season but happy to be 4th at the moment, need to step it up with the last 6 fixtures. A good win in our recent encounter and knew our game would be close - always a bit bitter when it's decided on a red but that's sundayleague for you  ;) Not a bad shout regarding aggression, could be something to tinker with......

Epic game it was 2-2... You don't see many 2-2 draws around but I've had it this season against Rich and earlier against Jimbo.
Just goes to show you need to be on point with your tactics against Rich, had I changed tactics on 60th rather than 75th, I would have won it for sure.
A pity the game didn't really count for anything but I'm chuffed to come runners up this season.

Sucks that my LB sustained a painful back injury during game and will be out for tonight's final :( He is a vital vital player in my first 11.

Unlucky in the UCB guys, hopefully we can win it next time! - Well played Joanie, you had a fantastic UCB :)

Haha, looks like you're going for that 'win every X-1-1' achievement I mentioned last season. Best of luck Nish! This is easily the toughest X-1-1 in the game in my opinion.

Do the Reds need to be moved at some point to win Conference 2 maybe? ;-)

I considered moving to Conference 1 when I first re-joined to be honest, but I play a lot of the 1-1-1 teams in the 3pm games, and I prefer playing a variety of teams rather than the same ones again and again, so I'm staying in Conference 6  :)

Horrible match report there Joanie, I do apologise! I would have went ballistic if that happened to me.
2 players sent off at the stroke of half time massively impacted the game otherwise the game was probably crying out for a bore draw.
I can't remember Lewis Lummox sending off 2 players in 1 game before with normal aggression.

Incredibly tough tough division this season. Surely this has to be the strongest Conference out there at the moment.

Stellar debut season for you Nish so far and you haven't even conceded a goal yet. Fair play mate, keep this up and you will have the title wrapped in no time.

Very solid season nish. So far away from the rest in the table.
And looking at your team you won't lose that many players next season. So we can only hope you will transfer the Green Stars to have a shot at the title next year :)

Myself in 2nd place is better than i could have hoped for, looking at all the strong teams in C1.

I love to give this kind of presents :)

I find C1 such a great conference, 2nd to 6th place last year was only 2 points difference.
So if we all manage to take a few points away from Nish this season it will be a thriller at the end.

+ if your Leeds United team grows as fast as your South Shields, it won't be long till they are in the bunch too.

Incredibly close season once again, one of the closest I have ever been involved in. I still believe anyone from the Top 4 still has a chance to win the title.

GW 29:

Super Imps   vs    Green Star Knights   
Fulhams Finest   vs    Pilsners of Belgium   
CSI-Birchington   vs    Purple Gelato

GW 30:

Pilsners of Belgium   vs    Green Star Knights   
Purple Gelato   vs    Chambly FC   
Fulhams Finest   vs    Super Imps   


Some very tense games still to come ahead. Hoping Nish will drop points next game so I can get 1st back  :P

Fantastic stuff winning the UCB guys, well played!!

It will be a hard decision picking a team next season, so many good teams.

It's been a great competitive season. Well played to all. Happy to have scraped it at the end after thinking I had blown my chances.

Roll on next season!

Well done Kush on the win. That's the closest title race in a long time with lots of twists and turns especially in those last few games.

The UCB result shows how strong the Conference is at the moment.

Should be fun next season 👍

I was afraid of this happening but thankfully this wasn't the case in my first division match.

I have sent an in game message to Tipton Warriors to see if they are also his teams because I don't want to start pointing fingers.
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: captain_kush on April 17, 2021, 04:41:37 AM
Tiptoe and Tiptop are 100% the same person.

Similar players in both squads were most of his players can play on any side of the pitch without loss in performance.

Moreover player names for tiptoe are all politicans/dictators and for tiptop they are all murderers/serial killers......

Yeah, most of the injuries happened to defenders and I could barley field anyone for the ICC game today, not that it made a difference, Kush has a much stronger team, I would off needed 100% TA just to stand a chance.

The ball ache is the majority of the injuries were long-term, 8+ weeks ::)

Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: bonzai on April 22, 2021, 09:33:44 AM
Yes, very sad too see this.
Now the other team went psycho against Jimbo.

Last couple of seasons C1 was very fun because of alot of competitive teams battling it out and taking points of everyone fairly.
Now it feels like whoever gets lucky to not have most of their team injured for half of the season will have an advantage.

Althought I'm not thinking it is Fatfrog who is playing 3 teams in C1, else it would be very stupid to call them all almost the same name. I do think the 2 idiotic teams are managed by the same person.

What can we do best to prevent getting long time injuries to a team playing Psycho? Play Nutter/Psycho yourself no mather what referee, and just take the exclusion/bans for red cards rather than have players long time injuried?

Post by: captain_kush on April 22, 2021, 02:57:39 PM
I messaged fatfrog at the beginning of the season to ask if those were his teams and he said it was not.
He was willing to prove it if needed and if there was a way.
It is not fatfrog who is managing the other teams but as Sem mentioned, Tiptoe and Tiptop are definitely managed by the same person that is 100%.

It is a really big shame because this is such a fantastic conference to be part of and compete but if this continues then I will have no choice but to change conferences next season.
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion

Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: Contrast on April 22, 2021, 03:27:52 PM
I guess the best option is to use 'if opponents aggression is . . . ' advanced tactic and match him like for like if he does it, and also play a second string team. I think most if not all of you would beat those two teams with a second 11.

Not ideal and still not on, don't get me wrong! I

It’s pot luck on Psycho, the guy who did it last night against Jimbo didn’t even get a red.

I get 5 with 4 of them being long-term.

Yeah, FatFrog is definitely the same manager.

Played low aggression against himself and then thought he could injure my team in the FL by playing psycho with Frisk as ref. Bless him.

Hopefully you guys can work something out to rid him of your conference.
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: captain_kush on April 24, 2021, 04:09:21 PM
I have messaged Junior asking to clear this whole situation up because at the end of the day it is not fair to point the finger on somebody with no solid evidence.

As I said before, I messaged fatfrog at the beginning of the season and he said it was not him and that he was willing to prove it if there was a way.

I personally believe fatfrog and I do not believe he is managing the other 2 teams.

I do believe though that the other 2 teams are being managed by the same person, that is for sure.

I am hoping Junior will be able to clear the situation up and once I have more information, I will let everybody know.

In the meantime, let's avoid being toxic to one another and wait for everything to be cleared up.

Thanks.

  I am thinking of moving down the leagues because I have quite a large injury list after last nights game against Tiptop Warriors (16)
  Result of the game was a 14-0 win for me but they had four players red carded.

  I had the following injuries:-
 9th minute GK Broken Thumb, out for six weeks.
 23rd minute DL Sprained Wrist, out for four weeks.
 29th minute MC Broken Leg, out for twelve weeks.
 78th minute SC Broken Leg, out for twelve weeks.
 88th minute ML Sprained Wrist, out for four weeks.

  I already have a DC out with a broken arm for another seven weeks.

  So, not wishing to become a moaner, with SIX of my first Team out I don't see how I can carry on in this C111 seeing how hard it is to compete even with a fully fit team.

Wow, that's a discusting match report. I feel your pain Brian.

It looks like they both relegate this season, so next season we might have another 'clean' battle.
But I hope they won't return every 2 seasons in the top flight.

My next 2 division games are against these 2 crazy teams, and I hope they won't kill my team like they did to yours.
This might be my only season I can have a title chance :)

Post by: deca on April 30, 2021, 08:59:39 AM
It's a real shame that we have a small minority of managers in the game hell bent on deliberately injuring other managers players, and spoiling their chances of success.

They can't win fairly so they resort to these immoral tactics.

We should have moderators in the game with the powers to issue warnings and suspend, or kick out offending managers. We all can make schoolboy errors like forgetting to change our agression for certain refs, and this happens rarely and is excusable, but it soon becomes clear who are doing this deliberately.

What's happened to fair play?, albeit it's only a small minority that resort to this.

There are certain rules to abide by which the majority do, i.e. if leaving the game, leave your team on pansy aggression, not nutter or psycho.

Enough said,

Regards

Deca

Sorry to see the amount of injuries Brian, that really is atrocious.

I have messaged Junior regarding this and he said all teams had different IP addresses.
I asked him to try find any familiarity between payment details/email registration but I have not heard back from Junior.
I sent a reminder message to Junior today regarding above.

I have also asked if there is a way we can ban/suspend Tiptop Warriors and Tiptoe Warriors due to foul play.

Will update here once I get more information.

Thanks.

By the way for C1 teams, I added my Kushberry team to the C1 Cup so it could start as I could not find a last team to enter.
I will not be setting up tactics for the 1st round game with my Kushberry team.

Na, i got lucky with my injuries. 5 injuries, but 3 of them just 1 day.

+ I only played with 3 of my starting 11. 1 of them is having a 1 day injury.

my back-up striker also got injuried for only 1 day.

The other 3 injuries are just 1-2 season old players, so aslong my starters don't feel like going on holiday or planning a SKY tv installation, It doesn't really hurt me.

It maybe hurts me a little in TEL, but I think it doens't really matter.
I feel like this dude will ruin C1 chances in challeging for the UCB title. A long term injury in your main squad can really make the difference on those games.

Played Psycho against Tiptop last night to try and counter the affects of them playing it too, and it worked a treat.

I played Tiptoe last night and went with your method Shelly.  Luckily they couldn't field a team after 20 odd minutes and the game was abandoned so I just got 2 bookings. Playing Tiptop tonight and looks like it might be a walkover so could be lucky again - although my goal difference will suffer 😉

If I had to play these two games back to back, my team would have been in a right state!

On a more positive note, a great start in the UCB so well done to those involved. And we'll done to Semi who's rocking that top of the league position 😁

Lost my 3rd position in FL2 and got knocked out of the C1 Cup today because being unable to play a proper formation.

To top it off i am playing against the TipTop Warriors tonight with Pieman as the ref. So no doubt i'll be picking up even more injuries

Sorry for that mate. I was kind of busy lately and did the changes from my cellphone. I thought I was playing another Warriors team that is doing so much damage lately. You might consider changing your team's name ... to avoid any other confusion.

Ye, we are doing really good in UCB. Hopefully we can keep the momentum going.

You're welcome Sem ...10 points gap between you and SuperImps seem very encouraging with 9 games till the end ...  although I would preferred losing against Rich last night and winning the InterConference final ...

Thank you very much, I couldn't have hoped for better results last night.
For the first time this season I really feel it is mine to lose now. I always felt the 4 point gap wouldn't be enough with some though games to play. never expected the Sweeper formation could compete for titles.
Hopefully my team can keep performing under pressure.

The Imps are still in the running for all 3 of the big cups, maybe you can ask him friendly for the ICC. It probably saves him the trouble of finding a free space in his trophy cabinet to put them anyway.

Thanks to peoples baseless accusations against me, i had Chambly FC play psycho against me last night.

Lost my 3rd position in FL2 and got knocked out of the C1 Cup today because being unable to play a proper formation.

To top it off i am playing against the TipTop Warriors tonight with Pieman as the ref. So no doubt i'll be picking up even more injuries

No wonder new managers don't stick around on this game, the toxicity of the community is unreal!

Sorry for that mate. I was kind of busy lately and did the changes from my cellphone. I thought I was playing another Warriors team that is doing so much damage lately. You might consider changing your team's name ... to avoid any other confusion.

There is no need to offend this community ... I find we have a great banter on this forum and people are getting along well ... I don't think you know us at all

I've been on and off this game for 18 years so i know my way around, and certainly seen fair share of toxicity going around, just the other day someone new asked a simple question, and the first response he got was someone someone being rude to him and not mocking the question. unfortunately that is what this game has come to.

There are select few who are true gentlemen's and play the game the way it should be, but in general the community is no where near as nice it used to be (and back then there was A LOT more people around too and people got on better)

Thanks Shelly, but my players will go on a nicely rehabilitation, the manager might sneak out for a solo pub brawl.
Don't think I'll have another oppurtunity to win the double in C1 again, so I'll play my best 11

I already lost the TEL final yesterday, I can't let my supporters go through another final loss.

Can't field a right defender and 4 of my starting 11 are out for the final Shelly.
Now you are the favorite for the final, hopefully the pressure is to much for your team, so I can take the double :)

Good job in the UCB guys.

Now it will be full focus on the conference title.

Fatfrog is having such a great season. Being at the top for almost the entire season, it must end at one point right...

Last 2 days will be interesting to follow, with me and fatfrog have a 2 point lead above Rich, but he has the better Goal Difference.

Match 29
Fulhams Finest   vs    Pilsners of Belgium   
Super Imps   vs    Purple Gelato   
Tipton Warriors   vs    United Cats

Match 30
Tipton Warriors   vs    Pilsners of Belgium
Leeds United   vs    Super Imps

So hard to call between us 3 who will take it, anything can happen.
Good luck (not) to Rich and Fatfrog.

Congrats Rich, another throphy in your overloaded cabinet. Great consistency all season long.

So sad for Tipton Warriors to lose it at the end of the season.
Looking at their squad they got at least 1 more season in them. So I expect him to be their again next season.

Hopefully I can still be their till the end of the season. But I expect many others to be strong too.

Cheers guys

That was a bonus for me, those last two rounds really turned things my way. Our conference is really strong right now which showed in a great title race and a great showing in the UCB. The usual scrap for the conference title and a great showing by fat frog who led for a lot of the season. A great effort and good to see that you're not tarred with the same brush as the pillock that was around last season!

Looking forward to the new season already 😉

Hey Guys,

It's been a pleasure, as my team is declining i will be moving down a few leagues on day 1 of new season to vote for credits and win divisions to save up credits and buy a new team and train them up. (just as i did with this team as i do not spend on this game)

As part of the moving leagues, i will also move conferences for a new challenge. (most likely Conference 6 as they claim they are the best conference :D )

Thanks again and Good Luck to you all in the next season!
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion

Well deserved mate and sorry to see you will be leaving us. Good luck in the future and hope to see you back :)
Hopefully we will secure the UCB and create more history.

Great title winning season fat frog and we'll deserved.

Think you've got another season from most of your squad so surely worth having one more go in the top league? You might win some gold cups and earn 5000 credits to help your rebuilding job. 😉

One last push required in the UCB guys, let's keep it in Conference  1 👍

I don't have enough credits to run friendlies for the whole season, plus they will all start to decline around day 25-30 of the season, so even if im top at that point, i dont think ill be able to hold out until the end of the season! so i think best to save the creds to get the rebuild done quicker. :)

Exactly what Deca said, it got corrupted when transferring.

I will message Junior asap and hopefully get your players back soon.

When moving leagues it says clicking more than once could mean your team have "adverse effects" - I've always wondered what they were, so I've tried it before by switching leagues with a team I didn't care about and sabotaged the process by clicking everywhere and crossing the window etc. Turned out my players were never lost & everything went through fine. Desperately unlucky to see your side wiped though - is your team history still there? Any consolation you that you were due a rebuild anyway?
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: fatfrog on September 03, 2021, 05:33:43 PM
Thanks Deca/Kush Yeah that's what I thought as well, so was shocked to see the players have disappeared.

Desperately unlucky to see your side wiped though - is your team history still there? Any consolation you that you were due a rebuild anyway?

Luckily the team history is still there, and yeah I made sure to click only once to make sure it didn't mess up knowing how temperamental it is :D It'll be frustrating if the teams gone forever, as i needed the current team to win all games without needed to essentially set up and move players and not have training on so i can win a couple of divisions to build up the credits (min 10k to buy 20 players of 500, had a few players that were on season 3-4 so they would have stuck around for a while as well) just going to make it that much more difficult to rebuild without the players really :( Also was hoping to get somewhere in the Champions Shield, that's not happening if I don't get the team back (tonight game is easy should win)



I will message Junior asap and hopefully get your players back soon.

i did submit feedback as well but if you reach out, hopefully he will pick it up sooner!

Thanks Guys, i guess i brought it on myself by moving leagues  ;D ;D ;D

Just seen that it is no longer a CPU team and the user is: frogfat

Im confused, what is happening?

When i moved, i joined 6-2-2. central and im currently there with fatfrog and thats where i want to be.

Frogfat was a team i created a while back, but couldnt get it to verify so just left it. havent been on that team since then (have just logged in now though) - how did that team get to 6-1-1? was it already in 6-1-1?   or did junior move the wrong account or something?

Junior must have moved the wrong account. He will re look into it tomorrow.

I think what has happened was;

You was in 1-1-1 and when transferring to 6-2-2 it corrupted which meant your original team became a CPU and was still in 1-1-1 and your 'new' team became a cpu from 6-2-2.
Monkey Hangers FC from 6-1-1 then took the spot in 1-1-1 which then transferred your original Tipton Warriors team to 6-1-1.

Looks like Nanosoft is the team to beat this season, fantastic first half of the season performance but a couple teams not to far back at all.

Still all to play for.... Will there be a twist towards the end of the season?

There has been 6 different C1 winners in the last 8 seasons and nobody has retained their title since Rich did in season 149.
A really tough conference that will give anyone a run for their money!

Another first half straight red card on normal aggression which yet again costs me the match.

The last 10 seasons the title defender couldn't defend their title in C1, so good luck next season.

So many title challengers for next season, it will be fun to follow this conference.(and hopefully my team won't be 20 points off the challenge)

Congratz on the Elite Cup Rich. Well deserved. I feel my team got lucky to reach the final. Lost 2 majors finals now with this team, so 3 is the charm, next one will be mine.

You were very unlucky Kush. I think you have the stronger team and tactically played the better game. I really didn't deserve to win but will take these valuable 3 points away from home.
To be honest the only differential I can see was you changed your aggression from Normal to Pansy after KO. Whereas I played Normal aggression for the entire match - perhaps this led to the 3 injuries in your team which gave me the upper hand, just!

Atrocious match report yesterday night against Jimbo....

45mins advantage and no goals and I get 3 players injured.. Lovely stuff

You were very unlucky Kush. I think you have the stronger team and tactically played the better game. I really didn't deserve to win but will take these valuable 3 points away from home.
To be honest the only differential I can see was you changed your aggression from Normal to Pansy after KO. Whereas I played Normal aggression for the entire match - perhaps this led to the 3 injuries in your team which gave me the upper hand, just!

Best of luck for the rest of the season  8)

Yes, team is pretty strong so I'm surprised I didn't score but I know you also have a strong team :)
Just one of my usual rants when I think I deserved to win the game, so just ignore me haha. It happens to the best of us.
Your probably right on the aggression, I would normally play normal with Pieman but I decided to alt these last couple of days.
Guess I shouldn't have done changed anything in the first place.

Another long season to come....

Rich is one of the greatest managers of all time on sl1 so it will be a tough match but beating him in a major away from home is a statement of intent. I'm going to predict a draw!  ;)

I would happily take a draw tonight but I predict Rich takes the three points. I have had a look and noticed that he seems to be the most successful on here. Do you know if he played the game before the new version come out? Also did you? Many years ago I played on the mogzilla server and now I wonder if anyone is still around?

Thanks mate, going to need it for sure against those Whisperers who are the current holders!

In my opinion C1 is still the hardest league out there closely followed by C4.

Your team is still young and with more training, I'd expect you to be challenging properly in a couple of seasons.
Let's see how the second half of the season goes  8)

Unlucky yesterday Sem, that golden goal literally could have gone either way... guess I had the luck on my side that night, was a very tight tactical game.

Hoping to reach a major final this season!

Ye, was a close game.
I've been lucky alot with the extra time goal on my teams, so can't compain about losing one too :)
+ you're team looks pretty solid, and i think the 2-5-3 is a strong formation to play. think i was lucky to get a draw till minute 90 anyway.
Now I can go full focus on the division title ;)

Looks like we got a 4 man race for this seasons title, and all very close.

Good luck on the majors. Bring some to C1.

I'll try my very best to bring some silverware back to C1. Jimbo is in the ICC Semi and Antony is in the EC Quarters so there is a chance C1 can win something.

Big game tonight against Rich.... It's a must win for both.
I'm on a hot streak with good momentum at the moment so I'm feeling confident I can get something out of the game tonight even thought it is against Rich  ::)

9 games left and 5 points off top, need some more luck, twist and turns.

Match engine has gone bonkers this season.... How I won yesterday, I will never know!
I apologise Sem, you should have won that easy, an unbelievable and ridiculous match report.
You should have taken all 3 points. I hope it doesn't mess up with your title push.

Unlucky in the semis Jimbo but I'm sure your record in majors can't be worse than mine... 1 win in 11 final majors :D :D
I've lost to Martin in the CS final before so it's time for some payback.... Sorry Martin but I haven't forgotten that  >:(

No need to apologise, I had to play 1 defender out of position and 2 defenders with low gelling/morale because 2 of my defenders were AWOL, and 1 injuried.
I was expecting a bigger beating :)

The only win I got was against Rich many many seasons ago and even then I don't know how I won lol but that was with the Kushberry franchise.

This account is truly cursed :'( even lost 4 TCL finals and still yet to win it with the Gelatos  >:(

I've been in 2 major finals in 1 season before and lost both.... Will history repeat itself or will I finally find a way to end my drought?

Touchnplay, it was an extremely unfair result. You did have 1 player out of position, a left mid playing centre mid, and my honest opinion is, I do not feel these players that can play anywhere without loss in performance play as well as players who actually play their position. I try to stay away from them unless I have to play them. Yes you’ve won the league, luckily because I started the league late, so enjoy 😉

Ignore this. Everyone will avoid players out of position as it restricts performance. As your game against BALDBEAN shows, it could be the difference between winning and dropping points - you've had some good results lately and will make 1-1-1 stronger next season!

I was always under the impression that you could play RM, RM, CM, LM, LM. Is that wrong these days?

Yeah that's right - I think Touch played RM RM CM LM CM. Would've been fine if the last two were reversed.

To confirm if that last cm was one with can play any side without loss in performance, I would still be at a disadvantage same goes for attackers and defenders on the right and left? I mean its probably because my team aren't good enough to compete yet but it would be good to know

No you would be fine to play RM CM CM LM CM if the last CM can play at anyside without loss in performance but logically wouldn't make sense to do that you might aswell stick the LM in the number 8 slot (if your playing 2-5-3). Unless ofcourse your anyside midfielder has incredible stats i.e better then your left mid, might be better to leave him on the left in certain match conditions.

For a 4 or 5 formation midfield (not attacking formations) you can use RM on the right or the inside right of midfield and LM on the left or inside left of the midfield.

as for defenders and attacking players, you need RB LB and RS CS LS respectively. you can ofcourse swap out any of the positions for an anyside player.

Similar aspects if you have 4 or 5 defenders, you could RB RB LB LB, RB RB CB LB .. etc and the list goes on.

Hi Captain, sorry if this is a silly question 🤦‍♂️ I play a back four with my left and right back as attacking, my 2 centre backs are just normal centre backs, can I put a normal left back in at CB? With the game not penalising me?

Not a silly question at all :)
As Nij said, and that line of defence can also be used for a 4-1-4-1

you can also put ADEF C if they can only play on anyside on the defence wings.

Not to sure about the other attacking formations as I've never used them before.

United cats, I learnt a lesson against you, my 1-8-1 does not do well continental, I tested today against it and done passing with Hot weather and done a lot better, I felt the 3-1 was a bit strange for how tactics went, studied you hard as I did against super imps, and felt I almost read what you’d do, would love to have seen the result if I done passing, It will be a lot closer the next time we meet for sure 👊

I've got to go back to hospital next Monday I may need a caretaker manager just to keep me in the division  I thought I would let all you know just in case they keep me in again and I can't set up just in fairness for the league.

Denmark having a great season bold move on 1-8-1 seems to be working for you so far keep it up

Certainly was one way traffic in the first half and my team, is stronger then yours. if we did the same tactics in 10 games I would win 9 times.

I'm sure if I had my main fit striker available, I would have scored in that first half. Good game nevertheless :D

Let's face super imps are nailed on now for the title,  it's over.

But the great thing is just going in to games  knowing you have a game to have to to set up for  you'll get top 4 probably and it's a good season.

I'm of the opinion now the strength of the managers on 1-1-1 it's the hardest I've played in
Title: Re: Conference One Discussion
Post by: captain_kush on June 10, 2022, 03:52:16 PM
Rich in a great position and is surely odds on to win the title this season but I wouldn't say it's over yet.
Every game is a challenge in this conference so you just never know.

My aim before the season started was to try get top 4 and I'd be very happy if I were to get it given I have had to play a new formation and do a bit of a rebuild.

Gelling has been an issue with me virtually all season as I've only been playing friendly games so I decided to join a PL a few days back hoping that will give me a little boost but it seems to have done the opposite haha.

My 1-8-1 was quite strong last season, picking up wins against DaneMark and Imps and a few others. I’ve changed now to 2-5-3 as I didn’t think 1-8-1 could take me as far as 2-5-3. I won 15 out of 30 last season, if I can do the same again and grab 7th or 8th I’ll be well happy.

I think we have got a similar plan mate  :) , I love the start of the season when the stats reset and you realise the team is getting much stronger.

I love 2-5-3 as a formation but I would say if I could change things now I would have 5 defenders in the squad to allow a switch to 5-2-3 especially for tough away games

In the long run it could be a good thing as the youngsters will get more game time. I feel I'm so close but so far away to having the side I want. I've become attached to them though because I could go out and buy the 95 mids but I would have  but training these players has made it so much better

4 points dropped this season to a player with 0 gelling, that’s disappointing. Fight for top 8 is going to be so close come the end then 4 points could have been huge!!

We Belgiums don't give away free presents!
Altough I have lot's of injuries, so I can't field a perfect squad. Have to play 1 midfielder in defence. But looking at my afternoon games, he did a good enough job in that position. ;)

Thanks for the present sem  :)

Woo, I did expect that my team wasn't top with some reserves playing, and 1 out of position. But this was a real beating.
Didn't help 2 of my players got injuries aswell.
Lucky the season ended, my squad is dead. 5 injuries in my starting 11 now :).

The midfield of C1 looks so competitive. The gap between 6th and 12th is only 9 points.

16 seasons in a row the title defender couldn't extend their championship. And unless a miracle happens, you can add an extra to that for next season.
5 players of my starting squad will start declining soon, so hopefully I won't draw the short end of the stick next season.

I feel there is a good change next season one of the guys that hasn't won C1 before will take it. With BALDBEAN, DANEMARK, Fart in a Bottle, Touchnplay and Memento Mori. We got 4 teams that are still growing in strenght every season.

But never count out the likes of the Imps, Gelatos, Nanosoft or Fulham Finest.

Secretly hoping Brian or joanie take the championship. Both seasoned C1 teams that deserve a title at one point.

Title: Re: Conference One Discussion

Top 4 is the aim next season then it's the title challenge year for me. Its been a great season though I think the competitiveness and the fact a lot of us post on the thread have made me think this is fun even when I was just above relegation.

I was surprised to win this game as you did choose better tactics. However, you lowered your aggression to pansy whilst I used normal which is probably what led to you having two injuries which is like getting players sent off as we made all our subs after kick off. Better luck next time and for the rest of the season   :)

God knows how you beat me last night Sem, your team must be that much stronger than mine that’s all it can be.
Well done though!

Wow, even with a player out of position the match engine did you dirty.
Without that I think it would be an easy win for you, but maybe then my tactics went different "if not winning" ;)
But you probably had some counters to that also in youre tactics.

i can't afford to lose to many points early in the season, as my team will start declining very soon.

That's 5 points lost to teams in the bottom 4 this season already so frustrating when I can pull off some really good results and then it gets ruined by silly draws and losses. Then again it is a proper tough league.

I have to say though that was possibly the easiest game I have ever had to predict.
Carry on being that predictable you won’t be above me for long Baldman!

You even tried to psycho me and injured two of my players in the process and that still didn’t work  ;)

When I was winning on tactics no 0 goals, when you was winning on tactics you score, when we was drawing on tactics you score, that score line is ridiculous, but we move on. We move on with you below me 🤫 how many points did you finish behind me last season 🤫

I would have played with my injured players rather then being out of position in all honesty but I don't even know if you could have even done that as you also had awols.

Rich has been flawless so far this season, money is on him to win this seasons title for sure.
Sem, looks like we will be battling for 2nd ::)

You had moulded boots on not blades...
But yeh sorry about that mate, you certainly had the advanced tactics in your favour but the wrong boots punished you.
I have never had that problem before, I have of course mis set up a few times in my career selecting wrong boots or style. Always note to double check your tactics and training regime before logging out.

Also you shouldn't offer him any advantages in division games, as it's not fair on the other teams fighting to avoid relegation.

Doesn't matter mate, can't be fixing any results against any other team in the division and knowing Jimbo, I'm sure he wouldn't have accepted anyway.
The conference is weaker yes but it's out of our hands at the end of the day and whatever happens, happens.

90th minute winner with 10 men in the last 15minutes and coming back from behind to win.... The SL Gods were definitely in my favour yesterday... Incredibly lucky!

Hoping that will continue tonight against Rich :D

Looks like it is a 2 horse race now between me and Sem.

I'm hoping Antony can beat you tonight because even with a draw you will still be beating me on goal difference so I need you to lose please :D
I can't see you losing any of your last 3 games so if you beat Antony tonight, I'm sure the title will be yours.

Ye, tonight will be a big game. Altough I think I still got 2 more games after in which I can lose points.
Also not sure a draw will be enough for me. Goal difference isn't that big, and looking at your last 4 games, I see you can get an advantage there.
Good Luck and whoever takes it deserves it.

Well we both we play the same 2 teams in our last 3 and your ahead on GD by 12 goals so I have that one game where I need to score a lot of goals.
We will see what happens, hoping you draw again :D

Sorry Kush. This squad is still a bit too weak to beat the top teams with a diamond formation!

Post by: bonzai on November 08, 2022, 09:31:47 AM
Looking at those 3 games in the first round Alot can still happen. I had a though game against Ducati, and you drew against Grumpy which we both ahve to play.
Shows these 2 teams can still take points from anyone of us.
I don't like to win/lose on GD, but this makes me super excited to check the results and match reports for these last 3 games. :)

But it would be nice if you drew again against Grumpy, to give me some breathing space.

PRO TIP : Don't risk your best players in these game and get alot of injuries for your EC finale. Give them some rest ;)

Pilsners +15 GD
Ducati              : 2-1
Kirmans Klan MK   : 9-0
Grumpy Old Boys   : 5-0


Purple +13 GD
Grumpy Old Boys   : 1-1
Cork City Reds           : 7-0
Kirmans Klan MK   : 7-1

Yes it would suck to win/lose on GD but it's part of the game so if it happens then it happens  8)
I need to somehow catch up on 12 goals which will be very tough, I can only hope my opponents goalkeeper goes missing haha!

I'd say the pressure is on you more than me as you are currently 1st so let's see if you manage to pull through till the end.... Squeaky bum time  :o
Come on Ducatti!!!!

Congratulations on the title Sem, it was very close on only +5GD was the difference between us at the end.

If only Grumpy Old Boys had some luck on the night, I could have perhaps snatched the title but it was not meant to be.

I would have rather lost by a single point rather than GD but it happens and we roll on for the new season!

Well done once again mate, well deserved  ;)

My season is not over yet, I have the ECC final tonight... I will try my best to bring the Cup back to C1  8)

Also Sem, please let me know which team you will be entering Champion of Champions with, it is only 1 team per manager.

Thanks guys.

Good Luck Kush in the EC. You can have that. I'll take the TCL then ;)

I'll be entering C.o.C with FC Schwalbe, so you can choose between your teams.

Sorry mate you took the title and I'll take both TCL and EC, I think that's a fair trade  ::)

Now I have to take care of another C1 team  8)

Thanks for letting me know about COC, I will make a decision to which team I will choose and then create league and send password out.

Congrats Sem on retaining the title. First time now a manager has been able to retain in such a long long time.

Well played and thoroughly deserved :) You have had a fantastic season!

I'm quite happy to take 2nd place, thought I would have declined down the table during the 2nd half but managed to stay up there.

Let's see if you can now do 3 in a row  8)

Post by: bonzai on January 08, 2023, 08:46:12 PM
Thanks guys. Was a good season. 4 Teams in the running for like the entire season. And next year will get ever harder.

Retaining the title is awesome, never expected to do it in C1.
3 in a row would be amazing, but the odds are against me, and that would make it 4 out of the last 5 :o.
Don't think my team is that strong. And still not sure what the real strenghts of my formation are.
The results are so random in all weather conditions.

Well, back in 1-1-1 after a short break from the game. It was a good challenge in 1-1-2 last season and pleased to gain automatic promotion with some declining players. My aim this season is survival, anything higher is a bonus. Good luck all!

Jimbo, you might be one of the few that will challange the Imps for the title.
I had a terrible start, and Kush also lost some points.

Will be nice to see if the teams at the top can stay there and give Rich a good fight.
Seems like i need to win 25/25 to have a shot at defending my title at this point already :)

Rich has got off to a very good start! With 25 games to go I think there are many quality teams in this division, including yours, who can challenge for the title  :)

Fantastic start for Rich and Jimbo.... Glad to see you back Jimbo, top class manager :)

I've dropped points already and will drop plenty more throughout the season. I'm doing an experiment season with Gelato, testing out some new things that I would have liked to try previously.
I'll be incredibly happy to get a top 4 spot this season, but the conference is extremely hard. I believe all 16 teams in the conference log in so that just tells you everything :)

Checked 1-1-1 expecting to see BALDBEAN in 10th but fairplay to RJ sitting in the dizzy heights of 2nd.

Could BALDBEAN have the strongest ever GK not to feature in a team thats won a conference? Some record to have. ;D
