Can't see me finishing any higher than that I'm sure some players are due to decline soon!

Brads,
Just looked at your team, it's like a fleet of ice cream salesmen - 99's everywhere - can we settle for a draw?

Martin.

We could've settled for a draw but you were playing Deca not me  :D

It's a lot of luck and hard work to get that many ice creams, your teams not that far off mate ;)

Took a risk last night and it didn't pay off, playing 5 midfielders when I didn't have a fit one for the bench wasn't a good idea  :-[

Looks like I'll be on 5-2-3 for a few days

I g :-[ot lucky. if you had not lost the injured player it would have been a draw I guess. :-[

Post by: Chili on February 28, 2012, 10:28:35 PM
Been a bad manager as of late, setting up the PLs for three teams on my garbage phone was just too much effort with the limited time I've had. UNIV suffered the most, have a lot of catching up to do. :-[

FC Town of Luton is still looking strong, glad to see a new challenger for the title!
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Brads on February 28, 2012, 10:41:44 PM
Big game tonight chiiii I'm not looking forward to playing 5-2-3 against the longball king  :P

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Chili on February 28, 2012, 10:44:05 PM
Then you should try 4-4-2 ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Chili on February 29, 2012, 04:33:33 PM
Nice one Brads. Figured by revealing myself on the forums you'd assume a change in ATs rather than playing them for the night game as well, but that didn't really pan out. :-[

Trying to double bluff me Chiiii! That's not very nice is it  ;)
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Chili on March 01, 2012, 04:00:51 PM
I try to take advantage of everything I can. ::) Seems necessary to take some extreme measures to beat you nowadays.

I'll use Attacking for 90 minutes tomorrow. I dare you to call my bluff. ;)

I logged in to setup ATs at 2:45!

Managed the first 2 games, luckily I beat Chiiii because I'm his nemesis at the moment  ;D

 :'( :'( :'(

Did get into your head a little today though! My all-out Attacking strat is beginning to work.. unfortunately we both went 5-2-3 Longball. ::)

Forgot to setup ALL my night games last night, I can't believe I didn't lose any!! Even won a game with the wrong boots ::)
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Brads on March 04, 2012, 07:48:11 PM
It was a big win for me aswell!

Managed to beat you and spiteri in FL1 this weekend  :o

Slightly better than my usual weekend form

It's my birthday, and hit a milestone so it's going to be a busy weekend. I'm starting to become a even worse weekend manager than Brads! (althrough it doesn't really show against me ::) :'()

Hope Icky is in the giving mood today for the ICC, wouldn't want to be as mean as Nijinsky would he....  ;) ;)
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Brads on March 09, 2012, 11:29:55 AM

Shame we're not playing each other it would be the acid test on who's the worst weekend manager lol

Post by: Mancunian_Nick on March 13, 2012, 04:31:22 PM
Don't know about you guys but one of the things I really miss with these new forums is the club badge of the team and a link to the manager profile. Unless you happen to know which manager runs which club - and a few I do but not many, it's impossible now to know what people are talking about in here when referring to their own teams but not by name. Oh well. C'est la vie ... and for anyone who's interested (and yes, I know you know my team Chiii lol), it's Tottenham Hotspur - having yet another very up and down season but hey ho. :d
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Chili on March 13, 2012, 08:39:39 PM
Glad to see you signed up on the forum, mate!

I'm sure a lot of people are missing the connection to the club house. But what can you do.. Miss a lot of the threads and old posts too, but this forum is more well arranged and better in every other way imo.

On another note, don't really see Brads losing this, there's just no way... ;) ;) No pressure!

It is slightly annoying, I know most players from the old forum but there's some with different user names on here!
Maybe everyone could put there team name(s) in the signature bit just so we know who we're talking to

Just out of curiousity, whatever happened to Big Nick of Anfield Road Rangers fame? I've been wondering for a while, although I've not asked anyone until now.

I take it he's moved conference rather than left the game altogether? Must have been during one of my sojourns down to see how D2 was getting on. lol
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO

He's wandered onto SL2 mate, I'm petty sure the team is still in our Conference somewhere but I'm pretty sure it's not active

Thanks Brad. Appreciate that bit of info.

I've tried Sl2 and found it too complicated for my liking - I like things nice and simple like this one is - well theoretically at least. Just hope this doesn't eventually leave that as our only option. Guess only time will tell. :)
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Brads on March 14, 2012, 11:42:16 PM
Will be nice to get back into action seeing as the downtime followed a self imposed exile for alcohol consumption!

Not played since Friday and I'm actually missing it a bit now, I was even slightly depressed at work having no 3pm games to set up for, although the massive come down from 3 straight days of drink probably had quite a bit to do with my depression  :D

Hopefully I can keep my form to the end of the season and maybe sneak the managers table aswell, or on the other hand I could totally balls it up and end up fourth  ;)

I can't believe I actually admitted to missing SL, glad the missus will never know about our little secret!!!

Good luck for the rest of the season everyone and no more downtime please

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Chili on March 20, 2012, 05:13:49 PM
Brutal, mate. Not many seasons ago you didn't even realize that central mids couldn't be employed in 5-2-3, and now look at you. Top three manager at the moment imo. 8)

And congratulations! And thanks for losing in the FL1 today, already won the league so no reason to pay any more attention this season right ;) ;)
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Brads on March 20, 2012, 10:34:36 PM
Thanks guys!

Won it just in time aswell 2 started to decline in last 2 days might have to change my team name to decliner chairs soon
On the plus side I picked up a decent any side striker last night!

I can't let you beat me again Martin, I can't win the league and have you do the double over me lol

Chiiii, I remember those days like they were yesterday  :D

I wouldn't worry though think your pretty certain to win the league anyway

Post by: MartinW63 on March 22, 2012, 10:11:27 AM
My guess is:
2. Cubana Villains
3. UNIV. CRAIOVA    
4. FC Town of Luton

Goal difference will settle 3rd and 4th I'll lose because I played Kent Sptfires not liverpool.

Well done Brad for winning this seasons 2-1-1. Fully deserved.
You have been a top manager this season, winning 2-1-1, ICC Cup & coming second in FL1. You've made us conference 2 guys proud :D :D
Good luck in the final of the Elite also mate!

There's a good chance mate, already replaced 1 and 2 more are declining with more to follow  :'(

Just hope they wait until after the Elite cup final! Although even if I lose that this has definitely been the best season I've had so far!

After we find out who the playoff winner is tonite, I may use my friends at FredsBet tomoro to get the odds on the new season and to give a run down of the 16 teams aiming for glory next season or in some cases trying to avoid relegation.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: stevenm on March 30, 2012, 05:40:51 PM
Hello ppl, there is a real frenzy down at FredsBet this afternoon, with the new season upon us, and some familiar and new faces ready to put the challenge to the very best I have managed to grab the odds fo the title.

Steel City Blades 2/1
Manager Brad made real strides this season, winning the league by a canter as well as gaining success in the Elite Cup and doing well in other private leagues. After 8 seasons in the top flight this was his 1st win so he will be hoping to continue this form.

Univ. Craiova 5/2
Managed by Mihai, the Romanian outfit are the dominant side of Conference 2 having previously won the league 2 seasons in a row and rarely out the top 3 in his 10 seasons in the top flight. Mihai may be the main danger to the title.

Cubana Villains 3/1
Managed by Deca, the Villains are a danger team and many will be suprised that after 14 seasons in the top flight he has only won it 1 time but maybe that shows the quality of the league. If he does go the extra step this season im sure those big cuban cigars will make an appearance.

FC Town of Luton 6/1
Manager Martin has had 2 seasons in the top flight and made real steps coming 3rd and pulling off some consistent results, time will tell if a Champions League spot will ruin his chances for the title but as of now the bookies are keeping their options open.

Hadoken FC 10/1
Managed by Mustafa, consistency is Mustafas middle name with the only problem the inability to beat the top teams holding him back. With 8 seasons in the top flight, he will be hoping to make progress and give the title a real challenge.

Bayern Arse 12/1
Manager Alex has been in the top flight for 7 seasons and has had success but also failure, he will be hoping to get off to a good start and challenge for a top 3 position. The bookies now that he can be the coupon buster but can he provide consistency.

Tipton Tornadoes 16/1
Managed by Peter, the tornadoes have had their best season for along time, so he will be hoping for consistency and make that extra step, after 2 seasons in the league he will be very confident to make it 3.

Pink Charlottes 25/1
Manager Georgia cannot be taken lightly and most managers know this, 2 seasons in the league has shown stability after some poor times but now they will be hoping to consolidate that ICC place and challenge the real contenders.

Spartak 33/1
Managed by Chris, amazingly Spartak won this league 30 seasons ago and has fought back from the brink to now being hard to beat after 2 good seasons in the top flight. If serious he will be hoping to improve into the ICC and avoiding the prospect of a relegation battle.

Tottenham Hotspur 33/1
Manager Nick has consolidated his place in the league after being a yo-yo club for a few seasons so he will be hoping to improve and avoid the dreaded relegation fight.

Forever Blowing Bubbles 40/1
Managed by Mike, after taking the title in div2 last season, he will be hoping that confidence will get him off to a good start and hopefully he wont be looking over his shoulder this season.

Wobblers 40/1
Managed by Ray, after finishing 3rd in div2 last season, the manager will be keen to continue hid good form but he will surely realise that this is a step up in class, but most teams will be keen not to take this team lightly.

DidierDrogbaFanClub 50/1
Managed by Steven, many a pundit are tipping the FanClub for success this season but after they quickly sober up they realise this will be a tough 1st season but confidence is high and a top8 finish isnt out the question.

Rocket Rangers 50/1
Manager Ron is a keen manager and in his time has partaken in many a private league, but he must remember that the league is his bread and butter, he has to be taken seriously after consolidating his 1 season in the league but a dog fight may be in order.

HH Beticos 66/1
Managed by Steve, after 5 seasons in the league he has been hovering at mid table but has found himself slipping down the league, 26 seasons ago he won this league but surely this is a long way off at the moment.

White Hart Lane 80/1
Manager Andy has really deserved his spot in the big time after peaking at the right time to win the playoffs beating two fancied sides on the way, now in the big time surely he will be hoping to avoid relegation.



A tough 30 games ahead for all teams and this shows there will be no easy games and the winner will deserve it, time will tell if FredsBet predictions are right but im sure most managers will be hoping to prove them wrong.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: deca on March 30, 2012, 06:36:46 PM
Great stuff Steven,

Effort well appreciated, and your odds are pretty realistic I reckon.

Blimey, I've only once once in 14 seasons was it?....... ;D ;D

It is and has always been a tough league, and i think this coming season will be the toughest.

Brads & Chiii have the strongest teams, so i feel the title will be decided between these 2 top managers!!!

Good luck all

Cheers

Deca!!!

Post by: womble on March 30, 2012, 07:00:31 PM
Love it Steven!

Going to be a great season. Was a bit of a joke last year with two CPU teams in it and that definitely effected the league. Luton FC for sure would have finished higher.
 
[rant]A couple of us had to play Kent Spitfires before he did a runner. It shouldn't be allowed to have managers jump league when a season has started...[/rant]

 
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Brads on March 30, 2012, 07:09:53 PM
Good work but I'm not sure of the favourites tag after the sawn off shotgun I had to take to my team  :D

6 new players mean I'll have to be a tactical genius to win the league this season, my money is on Craiova after the end of season Chiiii had, although he'll have to beat me twice in one season to do it lol

Deca you don't give yourself enough credit mate your a top manager and always hard to beat, more than capable of winning this!

I'll be keeping a close eye on Martin aswell after a good 1st season he could be a tough nut to crack this season!

Nice to see some one making an effort to get some banter going lets all join the banter waggon!

Good luck everyone
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: captain_kush on March 31, 2012, 03:40:25 AM
Great review mate.
10/1 odds not bad at all .... Got some a strong 11 coming in this season but my wing backs will unfortunately lack the experience this season.
Will try to aim for a top 4 this season :D
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: MartinW63 on March 31, 2012, 10:07:38 AM
Love it. Odds for me are a bit harsh I rekon about the same chance as Captain Kush or Womble would be fair. Plus I have the added problem of the Brother in Law, Andy coming up in the playoffs (he knows me too well, but I will hold on to the DW Shield!).  Brads was incredibly consistent last year but Mihai (or was it chiii?) got their act together at the end so I can't really see past them. Hope eveyone has a good season, but most of all hope we start having a crack on the forum!!!
Martin.

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: touchnplay on March 31, 2012, 01:39:37 PM
I've decided to try my luck in with the big boys even if that does mean sacrificing my Champions Shield place. Relegation is almost a certainty considering the level of opposition but at least there's some banter on the forum between the managers so good luck everyone lets all have a good season !  :)
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Chili on March 31, 2012, 03:11:59 PM
Cheers, great to see new additions to the conference. Even moreso because you use the forums. ;D

Hmm, hard to say what the top three will look like. Even harder to say which teams will relegate this season! Conference seems tougher than ever.

I'll go with Deca this season though, don't think he gets enough credit considering what he's capable off. :D Also believe the university and Steel City Blades will put up a solid fight for the title. Wouldn't be surprised to see Hadoken or Luton up there either as they're both very capable, but want to see more consistency before I put my faith in them!
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: stevenm on March 31, 2012, 05:41:05 PM
Newsflash

In a dramatic twist, Conference 2 was left in turmoil after Ray threw a Wobbler and left for pastures new. Spokesmen of FredsBet, Fred Champion was heard to say 'this has thrown everything wide open'.

After a few hours however a new face came to the committee to offer their services to this competitive league. Managed by Joe, Touchnplay, a real newcomer to proceedings has thrown his hat into the ring but is playing things coy and playing down expectations.

Fred was quick to react and has offered his analysis of the unfancied team managed by Joe.

Touchnplay 80/1
A new team with new players but time will tell if they gel quickly to cause the major teams some problems, however expect manager Joe to take points off the mid table teams particularly when at home but can he avoid relegation.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: touchnplay on March 31, 2012, 07:49:26 PM
haha cheers Steve, 80/1 that's well worth a cheeky punt !

I've been keeping an out out this league for a while now as it had the two spaces in and it was the league I was in during my last time playing the game. All the teams in this league are top draw but I reckon Uni. Craiova might just nick it this season.

Nice easy start tomorrow playing the best manager on SL from last season, going to have to bring him down a peg or 2 haha  ;)

Guys with the banter and general excitment shown this season, so far I am sure this will be C2-1-1's most enjoyable year yet 8).
I am totally shocked :o as not only have I somewhow managed to qualify for the Champions League (just the thoght of the teams I face has me nervous) but apparently I get the ICC too!! Honestly I had no idea, so it is worth putting in the time cos if my lot can make it so can you!! ;)

  Sun, 1 Apr 2012   The Pink Charlottes   vs    White hart lane

Some interesting games tonite with the top half playing the bottom half but some managers will be optimistic of causing a shock, none more so than the manager of DidierDrogbaFanClub who has a tricky away tie in Romania, Steven and his team have been aclimatising to the Romanian conditions and aim on causing the 1st shock of the season.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Chili on April 01, 2012, 10:02:49 AM
Guys, can you help me out with the C2 roll of honours? Seeing as we don't have one for all conferences anymore I thought we could at least keep ours up to date in the first post. :) This is what I've got so far:

Season 89: Steel City Blades
Season 88: UNIV. CRAIOVA
Season 87: UNIV. CRAIOVA
Season 86: Anfield Rd Rangers
Season 85: UNIV. CRAIOVA
Season 84: Anfield Rd Rangers

Season 77: Anfield Rd Rangers
Season 76: Anfield Rd Rangers
Season 75: Anfield Rd Rangers
Season 74: Anfield Rd Rangers
Season 73: Anfield Rd Rangers
Season 72: Anfield Rd Rangers

Wasn't able to track this further as some teams have gone off the grid completely. Pretty sure Mark's team won season 71, but can't recall what they went by (was it Redhill Rovers?)

Would like to add runner-ups but don't have a lot of the information I need.

Good luck tonight, Steven. ;)

Found Mark's team in the lower conferences, and found the roll of honour in Chico's blog, and in there I also found some helpful articles. Many thanks to Nick's extensive team history and ridiculous consistency, by the way. Saved me lots of hours!

Good draw last night mate the more points I can get in front early the better  :P
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Chili on April 02, 2012, 11:12:20 AM
I recognized Hancock, Redhill Rovers, Tangerine, and a few other teams. But this was way before my time as well, was struggling in 2-2-1 around the time Redhill Rovers first won the league. ;D

I think HH Beticos and Spartak are the only teams left from the early days!

Not off to a good start though, should be happy given the huge disadvantage in tactics though. But it's a double-edged blade, because they would have been different if Steven would have scored. ::)

An interesting set of results on the opening day which see defending champs crush an out of form newcomer in Touchnplay. There were narrow wins for champs league qualifers The Villains and Luton. Bayern got a good result against the returnee Tottenham and there was a thriller as six goals were shared in Charlottes back yard. The performance of the day however was by the FanClub who doggedly held out the Romanians and take a valuable point back from their travels.

Some interesting games tonite as the established sides take on the newcomers, The Romanians will expect a win tonite, The Villains will expect goals and the champ will expect another 3pts. Grudge match tonite as family members Luton and White Hart Lane square up and the FanClub takes on the Captain in an intriguing encounter.

Keep trying. It is hard at first in this league, as not only do just promoted teams have to play the top 4 but you have to play them away from home as well. Just try to understand the tactics, hopefully snatch some points then make us all pay at fortress TP in the 2nd half of the season.

Yeah cheers mate I always knew it was going to be a tough league as my player stats are nowhere near as good as anyone elses. I no the tactics I used to play this game before, just sometimes going down the pub at the weekend affects my activity for them games  ;)

It's only the start and as you say at home is where I'm guna have to win the bulk of my points hopefully I can do a man city or something along those lines haha

There was some tight games today as 'The Champ' and Bayern pulled off narrow wins, FC Luton got the better off the brother in law by the odd goal. The Romanian had an easy win as did the Tornadoes and the Charlottes. Touchnplay put their defeat the day before behind them as they held the Cuban and the Captain knew he was in a game after being held by the FanClub.

Theres a top of the table clash tonite with the Blades v Bayern, the Romanian will be looking to move up the table against the unbeaten Tornadoes, an intriguing clash between Luton and 'The Pink' which will really see how they stand in this tough division. The Cuban and The Captain square off after both suffered setbacks last time out. Touch will be looking for their 1st win against the difficult Spartak. The FanClub looking for their 1st win and goal head to the Rockets which will see if the FanClub can make an impression on this league. Tottenham play the Bubbles and HH plays the Lane and all 4 teams know this is a must win game.

I've never beaten you Brads...ever.

Except in a few pointless friendlies to build gelling, so they don't count.
I think you will get the 3pts tonite.

Great write up Steve as usual.

I can't believe I managed to get a draw last night especially away over the moon with that hopefully I can build on that tonight.

Good luck as well to our champions league teams i'm confident you'll be bringing the trophy home to conference 2 !  8)

I'm sure you have, maybe 1-0 a few seasons ago!
Your more than capable and off to a good start so I won't be counting any chickens  ;)

Anyone got any thoughts on a UCB team name??

Weren't we called Awesome Twosome? We sticking with that or fancy a change

Brads,
I have some ideas:
Twos Up
The Twocans
Twice as Nice
Two be do be do

Actually on second thoughts lets go with the skippers choice.

I propose "Smooth as a two-wing flying fish." Or "The two-timing pigs and the faithful" or something, a reference to Deca's and my association with other conferences, and Brad's and Martin's loyalty to this.

Blimey, well done Womble, a great result against the favourite,

The only way is down now mate..... ;D ;D ;D

You can't take any team for granted in this tough league, if your tactics are wrong you normally get beat!!!
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: deca on April 04, 2012, 06:59:02 PM
Meant to add........UCB.........

Guys,

Brads picks the quartet as he is the champion, but we should keep the Awesome Twosome name that we are known as, being double champions of the UCB.

ps....I'm up for selection, but it doesn't have to be the top 4 finishers in the league, it's the captain's choice

ps great write ups Steve, making it great to be part of C2 and keeping the forum alive,

Cheers

Deca!!!

  Thu, 5 Apr 2012   White hart lane   vs    Didier Drogba Fan Club   
  Thu, 5 Apr 2012   Touchnplay   vs    Forever Blowing Bubbles

Some tricky games tonite as the top8 from last season play each other which means some unfancied teams have the opportunity to be higher than they expected in the table. The Blades will be looking to get back on track against Luton, The Romanians and The Cubans square up in the MOTD and The Captain faces The Tornadoes. Tle league leaders Bayern have an interesting game against The Pink, can the Womble handle the pressure of topping the table. Elsewhere Spartak will be looking to get out the drop zone. An interesting game between the bottom side Rocket Rangers and Beticos, can The Rocket get his 1st points, The FanClub head to the Lane to see if they can remain unbeaten and maybe knick the points. Finally The Touch will be looking to consolidate his good start at home to The Bubbles.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Brads on April 05, 2012, 08:22:11 AM
I hope the fan club stay up this season I could get used to these write ups  ;)

Deca, I agree the UCB doesn't have to be last seasons top 4 but we did finish quite a bit clear of 5th and the only team I'd drop is my own because of all the players I've replaced!

Plus it's fallen at the start of the season so it's pretty hard to gauge people's form after just 3 games
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: womble on April 05, 2012, 04:16:20 PM
I'd go with the top 4 from last season.

The four of you were clearly a class apart from the rest last season.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: deca on April 05, 2012, 06:08:46 PM
Agreed Brads,

Too early to predict form, your team is still the major force, I can't see any team going unbeaten this season. I need a few midfielders desperately otherwise I'll be sliding down the table, which may well start tonight against Chiii. Not many decent midfielders around on the transfer market, but when they are there is stiff competition for them........ ;D ;D ;D.....like tonight!!!

Glad we're keeping the Awesome Twosome name for the UCB.

Cheers

Deca!!!

Good luck tonight ;)!

The Blades returned to form against the difficult Luton, The Romanians and Villains shared the spoils. The Captain had an impressive win against the Tornadoes. League leaders Bayern suffered defeat to the unbeaten Pink Charlottes. Spartak needed the 3pts against a stubborn Tottenham. Rocket still search for a win after drawing with Beticos. Not sure either manager will be pleased with the draw as The FanClub and The Lane shared a bore draw and The Bubbles had a good away win against The Touch.

The Blades will be confident of winning against The Bubbles, The Romanian hosts Spartak and will be looking for three points, FC Luton will be looking to return to form against the winless Rocket. The Villains will be hoping to stay in touch with the leaders as they host Tottenham. The Captain invites Beticos to his arena confident of the win. Bayern stuttered last time out but knows a win against The Lane is a must to keep his impressive start in tact. Tipton will be looking to bounce back against The Touch but knows it will be tricky. League leaders The Pink host the meanest defence in The FanClub, can The Pink keep their composure and maintain their league lead of will TheDrog announce themselves as a realistic top8 candidate.

Drama in Conference 2 this morning as The FanClub manager woke up late for his 2nd job and had to rush about and was still licking his wounds at suffering a late goal from league leaders 'The Pink', he is vowing to set his alarm clock in the morning though.

I dont know about the team name exceeding letter limit, I just set it up.

The defending champ suffered another home defeat owing mainly to the fact he has to replace his main players, hopefully the punters at FredsBet didnt take the 5/2 at the start of the season. The Romanian stayed on course with a comfortable 2-0 win as did FC Luton who warmed up nicely for his tussle with the FanClub with a 2-0 win over The Rocket. The Cuban had to settle for a home draw, could that prove costly later in the season, The Captain lost at home to the unfancied Beticos. Early league leaders returned to form with a comfortable win over The Lane. The Tornadoes stayed on course for top8 with a easy win over The Touch and league leaders The Pink were lucky with a late goal over TheFanClub to remain on top.

  Sat, 7 Apr 2012   The Pink Charlottes   1 - 0    HH Beticos

Day6 and there was no shocks but plenty of controversy, The Blades recorded a comfortable win against The Lane, The Romanians showed their class in a demolition of The Touch. FC Luton stayed in contact after ref Brian Blinker awarded what looked like a dodgy penalty against an unfortunate FanClub. The Villains had no problerm dispatching The Bubbles. The Captain proved too much for Spartak in a smash and grab raid. Bayern stay 2nd but despite dominating against the winless Rocket only won by the odd goal. Tipton recorded a narrow win over Tottenham and league leaders The Pink continued their impressive start to the season by beating Beticos.

  Mon, 9 Apr 2012   HH Beticos   vs    Touchnplay

Day 7 brings up some big fixtures which will go a long way to defining how the season will pan out. The Blades host Tipton and will be looking to avoid another slip up, The MOTD sees The Romanian hosting league leaders The Pink, can The Pink pull off another impressive result. FC Luton and The Captain square up, if theres a loser they can kiss goodbye to any chances of the title and mid table may be the best they can muster. The Cuban invites Bayern, another big game where surely Bayern will be hoping to avoid defeat to consolidate top4. Spartak and TheFanClub meet and both know defeat will mean a very long season and a top8 finish looking unlikely. Bottom side TheRocket meets the Bubbles and a win here will mean so much to both sides in their bid to remain in the division. Tottenham meets TheLane and surely a win here will go a long way to ensuring Tottenham arent looking over their shoulder this season. Beticos meets TheTouch and quite simply both need the points to fight off relegation thoughts.

Congratulations to both TheBlades and TheTouch in progressing to Round2 of The Elite Cup.

Chiiiiii starts off the competition in good fashion with two wins right off the bat with UNIV. CRAIOVA in two official gold cups: the Beer Cup and the SnakeBite Cup.
   But Brads doesn't have to wait long for a chance for revenge with two consecutive weeks right around the corner. Week three is scheduled for tomorrow when Colour City hosts Steel City Blades in the Smokey Doubles competition, and week four awaits on Wednesday in the Champions League again between the two teams in focus, Steel City Blades and Colour City.
  Will Brads be able to even out the score, or will Chiiiiii be able to create an even larger gap between the two managers?

Day7 Results

Tight at The Top

  Mon, 9 Apr 2012   Steel City Blades   3 - 0    Tipton Tornadoes   
  Mon, 9 Apr 2012   UNIV. CRAIOVA   1 - 1    The Pink Charlottes

  Mon, 9 Apr 2012   Tottenham Hotspur   3 - 0    White hart lane
  Mon, 9 Apr 2012   HH Beticos   0 - 1    Touchnplay

Defending champ TheBlade put his disappointing weekend behind him as normal service was resumed with an easy win against mid table Tipton, The Romanian was unable to beat league leaders The Pink, are The Pink now serious contenders. FC Luton had a great result considering other results from those in contention as again The Captain stuttered. The Cuban was unable to get the better of Bayern who has returned to form this season. The FanClub took the lead against Spartak but discipline problem returned and a draw had to be settled with. The Bubbles and Tottenham both had good wins against two struggling sides who are yet to win in The Rocket and The Lane. The Touch finally recorded a win against Beticos which was a good result.

Day8 Fixtures

  Tue, 10 Apr 2012   Tipton Tornadoes   vs    Rocket Rangers   
  Tue, 10 Apr 2012   The Pink Charlottes   vs    Tottenham Hotspur

Tonites game look straight forward for the top teams but will any of these teams show complacency. TheBlade plays Beticos, will the Beticos show up or will this be another comfortable win. The Romanian will be looking for goals against an out of sorts TheLane. FC Luton plays a rejuvinated TheTouch which may be tricky, Luton must win if he wants to stay in contact with the leaders. The Cuban hosts TheFanClub and will be looking to return to winning ways but can TheFanClub cause an upset. TheCaptain needs the win if he wants to lose the midtable tag against TheBubbles. Bayern entertain Spartak and must fancy his chances. Tipton will be looking to bounce back against bottom side TheRocket and league leaders ThePink will hope to maintain top position against the difficult Tottenham.

Good game Martin, you definitely deserved to win that one got a big stroke of luck.  A quarter of the way in and four points separating the top 6 and 3 points separating 9-14th looks like its going to be a close run thing at both ends of the table this season !

Day8 Results
  Tue, 10 Apr 2012   Steel City Blades   4 - 1    HH Beticos   
  Tue, 10 Apr 2012   UNIV. CRAIOVA   11 - 0    White hart lane   
  Tue, 10 Apr 2012   FC Town of Luton   1 - 1    Touchnplay   
  Tue, 10 Apr 2012   Cubana Villains   2 - 1    Didier Drogba Fan Club

  Tue, 10 Apr 2012   Tipton Tornadoes   0 - 0    Rocket Rangers
  Tue, 10 Apr 2012   The Pink Charlottes   3 - 1    Tottenham Hotspur

The Champ continued his resent good form with a comfortable win against Beticos, TheRomanian improved his goal difference as TheLane suffered acclimatising to the foreign conditions. FC Luton slipped up with a home draw against an ever improving Touch. TheCuban beat TheFanClub but TheFanClub can take heart from these recent narrow defeats. TheCaptain returned to the winners circle with a win against The Bubbles. Bayern slipped up at home to Spartak. Tipton suffered a bore draw against bottom side TheRocket and league leaders ThePink continued putting the pressure on with a good win against Tottenham.

Day9 Fixtures

  Thu, 12 Apr 2012   The Pink Charlottes   vs    Touchnplay

TheBlades host TheFanClub, can TheChamp continue to keep the pressure on those above, TheRomanian fresh from goals galore takes on TheBubbles, FC Luton take on the dangerous Spartak. TheCuban host bottom side TheRocket, surely three points guaranteed. TheCaptain host Tottenham hoping not to drop more points at home. Bayern look to return to winning ways against Beticos. Tipton take on an out of sorts TheLane and league leaders take on TheTouch who will be up for the challenge of causing an upset.

Hello ppl, there is a real frenzy down at FredsBet this afternoon, with the new season upon us, and some familiar and new faces ready to put the challenge to the very best I have managed to grab the odds fo the title.

Tottenham Hotspur 33/1
Manager Nick has consolidated his place in the league after being a yo-yo club for a few seasons so he will be hoping to improve and avoid the dreaded relegation fight.

You're not wrong matey - been a bit up and down as you say, partly as a result of a lot of my good players expiring at similar times and also injury problems and/or what's even worse, me forgetting or falling asleep without setting up. That's the worse 'crime' of the lot really but I seem to finally be getting a bit of consistency I'm pleased to say, although I still sometimes loose games I expected or thought I might win and others I've won I didn't expect to so I suppose that's what helps make it all the more interesting. :)

Anyway we'll see what happens. All the best to one and all for the rest of the season. :)

Cheers, Nick

PS By the way captain_kush, you've not yet put your team name into your sig - don't have to of course but some of us here find it interesting/informative to know. I suppose I'll find out in a moment when I read the other team notes. :)

Ok chaps (and chapess of course lol) time for bed now I've finally caught up. I would also like to add my thanks to Steve for the brilliant write-ups and comments. Make great reading. I'm away against Hadoken (match in progress as we speak) and whilst I'm away, we always seem to have great tussles when we play each other. I seem to remember last season I beat him in the first half of the season and then he beat me in the second so this season's games should prove interesting. Here's hoping anyway. :)

Oh well I should find out in about 10 minutes. :D

Day9 Results

  Thu, 12 Apr 2012   Steel City Blades   1 - 0    Didier Drogba Fan Club   
  Thu, 12 Apr 2012   UNIV. CRAIOVA   1 - 0    Forever Blowing Bubbles

  Thu, 12 Apr 2012   Tipton Tornadoes   4 - 0    White hart lane   
  Thu, 12 Apr 2012   The Pink Charlottes   4 - 0    Touchnplay

Day 9 few uo no suprises as there is now a real divide between the top and bottom 8 which could be intersting as the season develops. TheBlades proved too strong for TheFanClub with a narrow win, TheRomanian held his nerve to hold off TheBubbles to continue putting the pressure on. FCLuton had an impressive win against Spartak, TheCuban showed no mercy against bottom side TheRocket. TheCaptain returned to form with a win against Tottenham. Some controversy as TheCaptain has handed his team to TheViceCaptain as he struggles to come to terms with his up and down form and needs a lie down. Bayern dropped two points against Beticos which giving other results looks costly, Tipton took TheLane apart and remains in the hunt for a top6 finish. League leaders ThePink showed their class by destroying TheTouch who had pulled off good results as of late.

Day10 Fixtures

  Fri, 13 Apr 2012   Tottenham Hotspur   vs    Touchnplay   
  Fri, 13 Apr 2012   HH Beticos   vs    Didier Drogba Fan Club

Everyone will be interested with todays results tomorrow as the top 8 and the bottom8 all play each other. MOTD see TheBlade host league leaders ThePink, will the leader showthat they are a real threat for the title. TheRomanian hosts TheViceCaptain, will TheVice pull off a shock. FCLuton plays Bayern both will be looking for the win to consolidate a top4 position, TheCuban will be looking to continue their recent good form as they host Tipton. At the bottom end of the table, Spartak entertain TheBubbles, Bottom two meet at TheRocket as they both seek their first win. TheTouch will be looking to bounce back as they travel to Tottenham and finally TheFanClub visit Beticos knowing they need points and quick.

Thanks again, Steven.

"I need to pick up some points v soon or im in big trouble."

Yes I know the feeling well at the moment. :)

"Some controversy as TheCaptain has handed his team to TheViceCaptain as he struggles to come to terms with his up and down form and needs a lie down."

Sheesh *now* he tells me! :)

Well he got me 1-0. Thought I was a bit unlucky as it happened. He changed tactics in the 60th minute after we had both been level/playing defence up to that point and scored *immediately*. Thought a draw would have been a fair result but never mind. At least I have a home draw in the morning against Touch. Should be a good game. :)

Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons....

Fair play Womble it must have been the fanatical devotion to the Pope that got you through (or the fact you as usual, out thought me :D!)

I did set up against you Nick, yer best result would be have been a draw but i was a bit lucky to grab the 3 points there.

Only one thing I can say then Cap'n ... I'm a fairy and my name is Nuff.

Fairy Nuff. :D

And let's face it, sometimes you *need* a bit of luck, right?! Makes things more interesting that way. :)

Looking forward to my game tonight with nick, must win game but should be a good match, it's been a while.  Martin what happened today we were having good game  until you took out my keeper haha filthy tactics ;)

ViceCaptain feel free to throw the game on Sunday I would be most grateful !

Yeah it was a good game matey. Feel a bit bad as you've been doing so well this season overall but hey, I need da points too so I'm not going to be feeling *too* bad about it. :D

And you *really* think Vice might do that for you? Somehow I doubt it. lol

good game last night nick although I feel a draw suits neither of us in our battle against the drop. Thought I might have done enough to scrape a win looking at the AT's but I accept Tottenham Hotspur are the best team in the world therefore I can have no complaints  ;)

Well what can I say to that? You're right it was a good game and I don't know about the best team in the world - maybe in the real world that would be right but not *my* poor team I'm afraid, although I do have some good players in there now they're trained up so I guess perhaps my ATs let me down sometimes? Think I may have to start stirring things up and doing the unexpected - which to be fair I've tried before with dismal failure so dunno. :)

Still you are more than capable of taking the game without my help, I just really hope that doesn't happen. :D

  Fri, 13 Apr 2012   HH Beticos   0 - 2    Didier Drogba Fan Club

The defending champ showed his quality by inflicting defeat on ThePink to really open up the division. TheRomanian comfortably beat TheVice to leave TheCaptain crying in the sea. FCLuton suffered a home defeat to Bayern who were desperate to get back on track. TheCuban had to settle for a draw against an ever improving Tipton. TheBubbles pulled off a good win against Spartak, TheRocket finally won against TheLane who must be worried now. Tottenham and TheTouch had to settle for a draw and TheFanClub showed their quality by returning to winning ways at Beticos.

The MOTD sees TheBlades and TheRomanian come head to head, if theres a winner they will become the favorite for the league. FCLuton host TheCuban and both know they must win. TheVice invites Bayern to his arena hoping to show his class but will he be known as TheApprentice in the morning. Tipton host ThePink in an interesting game which will show if ThePink are the pretenders or the real deal. Spartak host TheRocket in a relegation battle, can TheRocket pull off another win. Tottenham and Beticos come head to head both needing the win to move away from danger. TheLane and TheTouch meet, can TheTouch inflict more misery on their opponent and TheFanClub clashes with TheBubbles, will their be a winner between the two promoted sides.

Great write up steve as per, nick you can just use the excuse that you had all eyes focused on the cup tomorrow its fine haha. Another Spurs related team tonight in white hart lane. I said last night it was a must win game but tonight im afraid anything less than a win will pretty much relegate me I reckon as womble says 30 points is the required number needed to stay up !

Well good luck with your match against the Lane and good game with us. A fair result I thought.

What really irritates me is this morning's game against HH Beticos. I was playing my 'new' game, Rage, and completely forgot until about 5 minutes to go. I set up basic tactics pretty quickly, including longball. I then went in to change my squad accordingly, came out and did some very quick ATs then when the result came in, for some reason I'd played passing instead of longball and ended up loosing 1-0! :( Now whether or not a longball game would have given me the win, I'm not sure. Maybe, maybe not. Anyway Beticos, good result matey. I know we both needed it. Oh well onwards and upwards. Still time I think. :)
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: touchnplay on April 15, 2012, 02:47:42 PM
Did you definitely confirm longball ? it's funny you should say that nick because when i looked at my AT's last for last nights game I could have sworn i went defensive at k.o if loosing after 15 counter attack then defensive after 60 but for some reason that's not what happened... I don't know if it just me going mental but i'm going to keep an eye on it.

TheBlades opened up a gap at the top of the table as he showed TheRomanian how to play with a good win at home. TheCuban is undefeated but his team may be too cautious and yet another draw sees him sit around the Champs League places. TheVice proved too good for Bayern and im sure the returning Captain will be pleased when he returns from his travels. Tipton showed his danger as he put more pressure on ThePink who has now suffered backtoback defeats. Spartak had to settle for a draw with TheRocket. TheBeticos returned to winning ways against a disappointed Tottenham side. TheLane picked up their first win against TheTouch but both sides remain in the bottom4 and TheFanClub had to settle for a draw with TheBubbles but could that point be good at thend of the season, both sides remain in the lower half of midtable.

All the fancied sides won apart from Bayern who had to settle for a draw against the battling FanClub and Tipton who suffered a shock defeat against TheBubbles.

As we approach the halfway stage, the title looks to be between TheBlades and The Romanian and possibly ThePink and TheCuban if they can get a winning run going. Champion League spaces are up for grabs and any of the top8 can realistically fancy their chances of gettin in the league. Relegation looks to be between the bottom 7 but the bottom 2 really need to get things going soon, the other 2 spaces look to be very tight.

There were a few shocks last nite in what is turning out to be a very unpredictable and competitive league. TheBlades maintained their lead at the top with a narrow home win over Spartak. TheRomanian had to hang on against a spirited Rocket. FCLuton lost at home to Tottenham who got out of the relegation zone with the win. TheCuban had a comfortable home win over Beticos to remain undefeated, TheCaptain returned from his travels and the team were rejuvinated and made TheLane pay. Bayern and TheTouch fought out a goalless draw, maybe an important point for TheTouch there. TheFanClub had an impressive result as he came from a goal down to beat the dangerous Tipton away from home. ThePink took the points from TheBubbles to remain in third.

Day14 Fixtures

 Thu, 19 Apr 2012   Steel City Blades   vs    HaDoKeN F.C   
 Thu, 19 Apr 2012   UNIV. CRAIOVA   vs    Bayern Arse

 Thu, 19 Apr 2012   Cubana Villains   vs    The Pink Charlottes

 Thu, 19 Apr 2012   Tottenham Hotspur   vs    Didier Drogba Fan Club   
 Thu, 19 Apr 2012   HH Beticos   vs    Forever Blowing Bubbles

TheBlades look to keep their winning run going as TheCaptain comes to town. TheRomanian will be looking to keep the pressure on as they face the unpredictable Bayern. FCLuton square off with Tipton both needing a win to get in the champs league. TheCuban remain unbeaten but will ThePink cause an upset and remain in the top3. Two of the bottom four come face to face as Spartak meets TheLane, Spartak will be looking to get out of the relegation zone. Rocket and TheTouch meet in an intriguing encounter, can TheTouch get out of the bottom4. Tottenham face TheFanClub, can TheFanClub be inspired by TheDrog and get that all important win, it might be tight though. Beticos meets TheBubbles knowing they must win to move away from the trap door.

Tottenham face TheFanClub, can TheFanClub be inspired by TheDrog and get that all important win, it might be tight though.

Yes a critical game indeed, perhaps for us both. The only confident thing I've got going for me, at least in theory/on paper, is that I have the home draw. Sometimes I win when I don't think I'm going to and other times I seem to loose and I simply don't understand why other than ATs? So this could go either way but I'm sure we'll *both* be fighting as hard as we can! All I hope is that it's not another 1-0. :)

Watch this space as they say. :)

Just checked through my match reports for today and I've come to the conclusion that my reserves are absolutely pathetic  ;D

I know they had no gelling and probably a lack of morale but to not score in the 1st half of my friendly is just plain rubbish

Fortunately they won't be playing against you tonight Kush ;)

looking at rockets potential first 11 I can safely say that I reckon I will lose 2-0 tonight, I have a big problem in not having the quality in my first 11 to turn teams over in this league even if the tactics are right. This must be the toughest conference in SL right about now without a shadow of doubt.

On a brighter note I may be in with a shout of bringing the smokey conference to the trophy cabinet after my surprisingly positive start !

The Romanian has stamped his authority on the league with some good results over the last few days, TheBlades need to bounce back if he wants to challenge for the title. At the bottom TheRocket and TheLane are in big trouble and could be joined by Beticos who needs some wins quick. Still all to play for at the halfway stage.

I didn't actually notice that but that easily explains all the goals on even tactics (and honestly how fast my first goal came during my tactical advantage). :-[ Very unfortunate, mate.

On a much brighter note, I beat you again today, Brad. :D It's funny how we haven't had a single draw so far. I'll sort out the table tomorrow or on Monday.

Good luck tonight, Steven.

 Sat, 21 Apr 2012   HH Beticos   3 - 1    Tipton Tornadoes   
 Sat, 21 Apr 2012   White hart lane   0 - 7    The Pink Charlottes

TheBlades notched up another 3points but still not good enough to overtake TheRomanian who took TheFanClub to the cleaners. There were bore draws involving TheBubbles and FCLuton and between Spartak and TheCuban. TheCaptain continued his good form with a good away win. Bayern beat Tottenham. Beticos put the pressure on those above as he beat the stuttering Tipton and ThePink thrashed a disheartened TheLane.

 Mon, 23 Apr 2012   Rocket Rangers   0 - 0    The Pink Charlottes

There was a real gulf in class last nite as almost all the top8 put the bottom half to the sword and leave some managers with a fragile mind going into todays games. TheBlades and TheRomanian now have a five point gap over 3rd and look to be fighting it out for the title.

Day18 Fixtures


 Tue, 24 Apr 2012   Bayern Arse   vs    Steel City Blades   
 Tue, 24 Apr 2012   Tipton Tornadoes   vs    UNIV. CRAIOVA

 Tue, 24 Apr 2012   Forever Blowing Bubbles   vs    Tottenham Hotspur   
 Tue, 24 Apr 2012   White hart lane   vs    HH Beticos

Today the top half play each other and the fight to avoid relegation will also be key. TheBlades will be hoping to win away at Bayern and TheRomanian will be hoping not to slip up at Tipton. FCLuton will be looking to get one over on ThePink. TheCaptain and TheCuban square off, will TheCuban be able to close the gap on the top two. TheTouch needs to win tonite to close the gap on those stuttering above. TheFanClub are in turmoil but will be looking to bounceback against TheRocket. TheBubbles are clear of relegation but Tottenham are still desperate for the points. TheLane and Beticos are both in poor form and both need that win tonite.

 Tue, 24 Apr 2012   White hart lane   1 - 2    HH Beticos

TheBlades slipped up at Bayern as TheRomanian takes a four point lead after thrashing Tipton. FCLuton pulled off a good win against ThePink who cant seem to keep their early season form going. TheCaptain moved upto 3rd as he overcame TheCuban in a tight game. Spartak took the spoils and put TheTouch in deep trouble. Oh dear after the euphoria of early in the nite TheFanClub were brought down to earth with a home defeat to the improving Rocket, relegation is staring TheFanClub squarely in the face. TheBubbles inflicted more pain on Tottenham who are looking nervously over their shoulder. Beticos moved out of the bottom four with an away win at TheLane.

Keep with it mate, the key to success is team strength, concentrate on training, concentrated training to maximise your teams attributes, corners, defence, jogging, etc.

Get as many 99s as possible, then you'll be able to turn things around, patience and perseverence!!!

All the best

Showing good form the Hadokens, beating us all!!!

Tough league, I think we must be favourites for the UCB!!!

Cheers

Deca!!!

ps Got Chiii next up, need to win I feel!!!

Haha cheers Deca!
Still ain't beaten Chiii... Think it's been a good 2/3 seasons since I last beat UNIV but should be easy next time ;)
My main striker is going to retire soon though but his replacement is just as good. I can only get better in strength :D

Keep with it mate, the key to success is team strength, concentrate on training, concentrated training to maximise your teams attributes, corners, defence, jogging, etc.

Get as many 99s as possible, then you'll be able to turn things around, patience and perseverence!!!

All the best

Deca!!!

yeah I no mate been training them like that throughout with ball skills every now and again just a personal preference from my felix days. It all comes down to the players you buy at the end of the day for instance for an x-1-1 like ours you need to be buying players with 95 for the primary stats minimum,  to be able to compete otherwise it's a lost cause until there season 3/4 because TA in the match engine is not that important at all in my opinion

TheBlades pulled off a good win away at FCLuton, CHAMPION ELECT TheRomanian had an impressive result away at TheCuban. TheCaptain is proving TheMaster at the mo as he put Tipton to the sword. Bayern won away at the stuttering ThePink. Relegation threatened pair Tottenham and Spartak shared the spoils. TheRocket continued their impressive recent form with an away win at Beticos. TheFanClub needed the win against TheLane and duly got it to relieve a bit of tension and TheBubbles put TheTouch further in the mire with a narrow home win.

Yes and also mate you have to be willing to spend on some good players. I'm not saying buy a squad with players 10K each but get a bit of both. How i generally do it is that i would get ordinary players in the market but at young age and I tend to get older players with better stats. This way with the young players you can train them up and after lets say 5 seasons they will be full in mostly all stats and than you still have another 5 seasons with them. With the older players they will decline in less seasons but after a season or 2, they will have full stats and so on if you get my drift.

With 10 games to go things are still very interesting in this competitive league. TheBlades drew away at TheBubbles and therefore couldnt take advantage of TheRomanian who also drew away at Spartak who will see that as a precious point. FCLuton got a good result at the improving Rocket but it looks like the Champs League qualification may be out of reach. TheCuban drew at Tottenham and looks the favourite for 4th. TheCaptain continued his impressive form as he put Beticos away with ease, TheCaptain may be thinking the title could be his but definetly ChampsLeague qualification is his. Bayern won comfotably at TheLane who now must be condemned back to Div2. TheTouch will be very disappointed with the result considering Tiptons recent form and now only a miracle will keep him in the league. TheFanClub gained an important point against ThePink and will be looking to build on recent results.

Couldn't agree more captain it's all about getting the balance right which ultimately means to compete at the top you have to invest more money into your team. It's all about getting the balance right so at all times your first 11 is full of 99's, clearly seems to be doing the trick for you you're having a great season mate breaking into the top 3 and with an outside shot at the title. Just don't do a spurs and you'll be fine !

Well good result all in all I think, although I have to say I thought I was a tad unlucky. Had 53% possession (although how they work that out I don't know considering your tactics were only ahead of mine for 15 minutes and I had 15 shots to 12. First 45 minutes I was ahead and stalemate. You go ahead at 60 minutes and after 6 minutes you're one goal up! Sometimes, as I've said before, I just don't 'get' this game. :D

It's not as if my strikers are rubbish either but hey ho, never mind. I suppose all in all a fair result - trying to be magnanimous about it. :)

Yer mate cheers. Haven't performed this well in the league since my first season here in which I ended up 3rd. Obviously you have some people who have paid like 130K for their whole team which I do actually think is to much unless your a millionaire of course. I think my team is around the 70K area. You gotta be tactical as well about this. You don't want all your players to retire all at the same time. That's 1 little mistake I have done with my midfield. They will all be retiring together which is going to really affect my league status in a couple of seasons time.

Good to see Brads and Chiiiii losing some points yesterday night! - Still got to face some quality managers but there is every chance I can cause an upset :D
Last time I lost in the league was on Friday the 13th :|

Yeah i reckon my whole team cost around 15k, but i wasn't expecting to be in this league with season 2 players so I can't really complain, I just took the opportunity when it came to move up. This is probably the best conference out of all the x-1-1's so it's even more important to have a great squad. I'm hoping in 2/3 seasons I will be able to challenge for the 2-1-1 title. Yeah it a tough run in there is no easy matches in this league I'm hoping to spring an upset myself tonight when chiii comes to town so might do you a favour ! Should be a very interesting run in for the title and relegation myself and white hart lane are already down but then it's 2 from five so should be a fierce battle to the end !

Interesting points from The Captain and Deca. Personally I never spend more than 1500Cr a man and have a total team budget of 15,900Cr at the moment. There are some tactics that seem to make a difference. Fridays and Saturdays seem to be better for buying, I guess everyone is out getting hammered! Also the nearer to the end of the season, with the week between end and playoffs being a time for some easier pickings, I guess more poeple don't come on every day then?
You also have to have different criteria for the player types:
Goalies - try to buy those with the most stamina above 60. The ones above 70 tend to be more expensive and those that are under 20yrs old even more so. I have found you can get goalies between 20-30 with 60+ stamina sometimes for 500Cr. Also look at the passing stat they vary by as much as 5 points which is a seasons training!
Defenders - Go for Pace 68+ and as much stamina as possible for the budget you set, this normally means they have tackling and heading stats of 95. I tend to end up with older players (30+), so I limit to 900Cr, but I will go to 1500Cr if they are younger. I picked up a fairly decent anysided D for 900Cr yesterday he is in my squad (Rich Farquar) if you want to take a look.
Midfielders - I go the way Deca says, buy young and train them up, with a few older with better stats. Stamina and pace being the main attributes I look for.
Strikers - Pace being the main criteria always go for 68+. There does not seem to be the pressure to get these than the other type of players. You can normally get ones between 20-30yrs with no problem. The ones under 20 will always be expensive. I also try to keep a mix with 2 with high pace of 88+, but some lower stats in other areas and 2 with lower pace 68 - 74 but higher stats of 95 in most other areas.

I might not win many leagues but I get a lot of fun mucking up the big boys (sometimes) and when the cycle of players is right you just never know.
Well thats my two penneth, anyone else got any tip?
Martin.

Buy players for attacking formations. Look at my second team (Port Morrow), most of my players cost less than 1000 cr, and got my most expensive player for 1200 cr.

Interesting points martin, especially about the keepers and strikers, I do feel that stamina is possibly the most important attribute as (and this just might be my team) it seems the longest to train up. Moving on to your point chiii I'm wary of buying players that are based for attacking formations as (and again might just be me) I've had a suspicion that the match engine takes into account formation to your advanced tactics for example if your playing
5-2-3 and your set to defensive it's better than if you were playing attacking so I'm guna keep an eye on your performance in the up and coming III to see if that has any truth in it.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: captain_kush on April 28, 2012, 05:42:21 PM
You've mad some valid points there Martin.
However if i was in your position, I wouldn't have bought that defender even if you bought him on the cheap. He will last for only 6 seasons if i'm correct so by the time he becomes epic, he will eventually retire. Defenders like those will tend to take 4-6 seasons to fully get stated up. Well that's in my case anyway.
If you look at my team i have a similar played ' Red Berry Cherry' as a left back whom is 27 years and will last with me for 8 seasons. And i bought him for 1200 credits. If you look at my other defender 'White Rhyno' He had virtually same stats as our defenders when bought and now he is in his 5ith season but yet still hasn't got the stats I would like it to have. Comparing him to my other defender ' White Widow' who is also in his 5th season, you can see a clear difference between the stats. You can sometimes get class defenders on the cheap if they only last for 6 seasons. I just bought a new really good right back ' Laughing Buddha' for only 3K credits but the only problem is that he is old.

In my opinion, midfielders are the most expensive. Sometimes you can get a bargain on them however. 'Super Lemon Haze' my midfielder, bought him at like 16 years would good stats, for only 4K. Generally them players would easily be bought for 10K. But Chiiiiiii is completley right. Attacking players for attacking formations are significantly cheaper. Most managers on here don't use attacking formations. My other team has to have some attacking midfielders for it christmass tree formation. I got a top notch midfielder the other day virtually mostly 90+ stats in everything and for only 500credits!!! (I was the only user to bid for that player!)
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: MartinW63 on April 28, 2012, 11:17:25 PM
Chiiis and The Captains points on the attcking players/formations are valid. However the main problem with this approach is awols and injuries as you naturally have less cover, this was the reason I stopped using attacking players/formations. , as I kept getting caught out for important matches (why does it never happen when it doesn't matter?).
Captain is also right about under 29 verses over to a point. As I am trying to bring a stream of players with end dates a season apart (the ideal but probably impossible to achieve), I will always have to play a player who will not be as strong, hence I tend to play substitutes in the second half to make up for lack of  stamina. If I was setting a higher budget, sure I would only buy young and high stat players, but I am trying to run the team like a small club (only wish Luton had done this we would be much higher than bloody Blue Square), as I find the challange interesting. Also I have  picked up cheep under 30's it is just that anysided never go in my bugdet if they are under 30, I'll keep trying- if I get one I'll let you know ;)!

I guess it just goes down to how much you want to spend and what you are trying to get out of it.

One thing I have noticed is the older players tend to train up quicker? Is this just me or has anyone else noticed this?

TheCaptain went to Spartak and emerged victorious to leave the top2 a little anxious. Bayern had a good win against a resurgent Rocket. Tottenham need some points quick or they may find themselves in deep trouble very soon as they lost at home to Tipton. ThePink won away at Beticos who also needs a little run of points quick.

No, t'is true, they do train quicker, although there are always exceptions to the rule depending on hidden stats of course. Would you believe I have one of those? Older player now in season 3 or 4 I think and whilst he's improved, it's nothing to write home about, as they say. Oh well. :)

Sat, 28 Apr 2012   Tottenham Hotspur   0 - 1    Tipton Tornadoes   

Tottenham need some points quick or they may find themselves in deep trouble very soon as they lost at home to Tipton. ThePink won away at Beticos who also needs a little run of points quick.

This is the 2nd result I've had (no disrespect intended to Tipton at all who played well) which I simply fail to understand where it went wrong?! According to the report, he had 61% possession to my 49. Really? Let's look - I was ahead for the first 45 minutes - no score. Then we were the same for 15 minutes until 60 minutes when he went ahead and oh look! 6 minutes later he scores! Really? Then (without looking/checking again) I think we were the same again for the last 15 minutes but whichever way you look at it, I don't understand why (a) I didn't score - my strikers aren't exactly rubbish and (b) how are the stats worked out? And yes, that last question is rhetorical. I don't expect *anyone* to know the answer to that! :D

If you screw up, it's easy to understand where you went wrong and fix it. Results like I get sometimes that I fail to comprehend ... well enough griping for today methinks. Got more important things to worry about today. :)
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Chili on April 30, 2012, 11:14:31 AM
Actually you were even for the first 57 minutes, that goal came down team stats (Tipton's team is probably even stronger than UNIV in terms of honestly). ;)

In my opinion, possession is just an arbitrary number. There are elements that seems to influence the possession (aggression being the biggest) but other elements have a much larger effect on the gameplay. I seriously doubt the possession and shots are even real elements in the game (the engine can't possibly be sophisticted enough to play out entire games as if it were a real football game.. and if it was, we would've been able to see more than just the "GAME IN PROGRESS" screen. ;)), I think most of the statistics are just for appearance's sake.

I think there are a lot of match-determining factors in this game though, I just don't think the match reports display more than the end result. :P
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Brads on April 30, 2012, 02:13:53 PM
I must admit I agree with Chiiii on this!

I think the most important factor is team stats followed by TA!

A team with much higher stats will win regardless of TA and if your teams stats are better you can go longer against TA without conceding! if teams stats are similar then TA plays a bigger part.
Then there's little things like gelling, morale, stamina (especially in extra time) I think even captain and set piece takers make a slight difference otherwise why would there be an option to change them?
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Brads on April 30, 2012, 02:37:02 PM
As for the transfer market, I find it impossible to get a top quality defender (even being a 10k a player man) they're so rare!!
When there is one about 40 people bid for him and even if only half of them bid 10k that's still only a 1/20 chance of getting them, top midfielders are pretty easy to buy and sometimes go for less than 10k especially if you get a day with 3 or 4 on for the same position, strikers are pretty easy to get aswell for less than 10k unless your patient enough to wait for a real top quality one! Keepers tend to be pretty similar in stats anyway so I only ever spend 500 on a keeper and get a young one to train up!

I've never really gambled with old players so not sure about how they train, I'd rather spend on a player that lasts 8-10 seasons where I'll get atleast 5-6 at top stats than one that only lasts 4-6 seasons to start with!

As Kush says the hardest part is having your squad so they don't all decline at once while trying to get them all at there peak together! It's a hard task, I managed to get maybe 10 at there peak last 2 seasons which was the main reason for my success but now most of those have been replaced and there's a few more to replace next season, unfortunately for me I think there mostly defenders aswell  :(

I'm grateful to you and Chiii for your input, Brads, and whilst I do agree to what you say about the match reports, I didn't think my team was bad in those 2 games I referred to so I'm not quite sure what you mean about my team stats being worse? Mind you, I obviously can't see theirs so maybe I can't comment very well on that? I certainly always play an experienced player with the highest morale and overall as my captain and same with corner taker and free kick man and my midfielders ain't that bad to be fair - quite a few 99s across the board almost but hey ho, never mind. All adds to the surprise element I guess. I was just surprised my scorers don't do better in a lot of games coz they're pretty good too - in my opinion of course and maybe as the manager I'm a bit biased? lol

Brads i'm in a similar position to you but in that I probably have to win every game to stay up now the pressure is on !

Day23 Results

  Tue, 1 May 2012   HH Beticos   0 - 3    Steel City Blades   
  Tue, 1 May 2012   White hart lane   0 - 9    UNIV. CRAIOVA   
  Tue, 1 May 2012   Touchnplay   1 - 1    FC Town of Luton   
  Tue, 1 May 2012   Didier Drogba Fan Club   1 - 3    Cubana Villains   
  Tue, 1 May 2012   Forever Blowing Bubbles   0 - 2    HaDoKeN F.C   
  Tue, 1 May 2012   Spartak   1 - 4    Bayern Arse   
  Tue, 1 May 2012   Rocket Rangers   1 - 2    Tipton Tornadoes   
  Tue, 1 May 2012   Tottenham Hotspur   0 - 2    The Pink Charlottes

There was no change at the top as TheBlades and TheRomanian both recorded comfortable away wins. TheTouch gained a point on those above but was still disappointed with his home draw. TheCuban showed their quality against TheFanClub. TheCaptain stayed in touch with the leaders with as good win away at TheBubbles. Bayern recorded an impressive win against a struggling Spartak. Tipton moved back into the top half with an away win at TheRocket. ThePink got back on trackwith a win away at Tottenham.


After popping into FredsBet I was suprised to see FredChampion looking over the league, busily writing notes and on the phone to his superiors. After I enquired what he was doing he told me he was getting the odds for TheTitle ChampsLeagueQualification and Relegation

With only 7 games remaining, everything is still up for grabs and most people still having something to play for.

TheTitle

Univ Craoiva 4/6
With only 1 defeat to his name and a four point advantage many believe he is destined to be 'TheChamp' but the odds clearly reflect that there are still dangers ahead which include 'TheUnmissable' game against nearest challengers SteelCityBlades.

SteelCityBlades 7/4
The defending champ wont give this up likely and with the potential nerves of the next week ahead, TheBlades will be hoping last seasons memories can get them over the line.

Hadoken FC 9/1
TheCaptain has had a fabulous run and still has to play the two above, so still has a chance but ChampsLeague football is all but guaranteed.


ChampsLeagueQualification

It looks clear that TheCaptain will finish in the top3 so there is 1 space spare in the illustrious competition.

Cubana Villains 5/4
TheCuban has drawn too many games and sees himself in a battle for 4th, clearly the favourite for the spot because of his quality but some tricky games ahead may be his undoing.

Bayern Arse 7/4
Bayern has had a good season but has dropped points to those he should have beat, the team is still dangerous and the others wont be taking him likely over the next week.

Pink Charlottes 2/1
ThePink were contenders for the title not so long ago but the team seems to have run out of gas. Some good results over the past few days have kept them in touch with all still to play for.

FC Town of Luton 6/1
The outsider for the top4 but the team is capable of going on a run and there are more than a few big games that can catapult them into the promised land.


Relegation

WhiteHartLane   No Offers
Doomed

Touchnplay 1/8
Needs some big results quick, it looks like a short stay in the big league but the managers class will mean they are back

RocketRangers 1/2
The team were doomed at mid season but some big results has brought them back to the pack with the rest looking anxious, wont be a suprise if they survive.

HH Beticos 4/5
A stalwart of the conference needs some big results very soon, still some important games to get themselves out of trouble.

Spartak 5/4
A few more wins and they will be safe, safety is in their own hands.

Tottenham Hotspur 6/4
A disappointing season but with some important games ahead the manager knows his destiny is still with his team.

DidierDrogbaFanClub 5/1
Hoping not to get dragged back into trouble after an impressive mini run, another two wins and another season in the top flight beckons.


With little over a week left of fixtures remaining it has been an enjoyable season with much banter and excitement. Heres hoping that continues as the season ends and TheChamp is confirmed. Good luck to all its going to be an exciting last week.

Post by: deca on May 02, 2012, 11:04:51 PM
Excellent write ups Steve,

I really appreciate the effort you put in and research, as I'm sure the other 2-1-1 managers do too, you should be nominated to do the UCB write ups when it gets going, I normally do the tables for it!!!. I couldn't throw my game against you as it wouldn't be fair on others, but just want you to have enough points to survive and stay in 2-1-1 to keep up the great work mate. I'm sure you'll get the needed points though... ;D ;D

Stick with it Touchplay, you'll be going down, but it might be for the best, as you'll bounce back up with a stronger team ready to be able to compete with the stronger teams.

Talking of which.......Great performance to date from Chiii....looking un-stoppable, and the Blades ready and waiting for a slip up!!!. Best season to date I think for the Hadokens, let's hope it continues. Far too many draws for me to have any chance of the title, but better than losses, and best hope is to claim fourth!!! Those top 3 are awesome this season!!!

Brads, it would be interesting to have a friendly with your 580 Stats team against my Aston Villains 800 Stats team, with you having tactical advantage throughout to see what the score line would be, and see how the match engine deals with th score in that match...... ;D ;D ;D

Cheers

Deca!!!

http://smokey.sundayleague.com/cgi-bin/sundayleague/match.pl?fixtureid=6018118

No logic to it at all sometimes is there, Touch? That's what I was talking about a few days ago! Some games you think your strikers must have gone on holiday or something. They don't score then you go behind on the ATs and within a short time (sometimes immediately, once in 6 mins for my games etc) your opponent has scored. Would it surprise you to know that sometimes that thought has gone through my mind too on occasion? Gets to a point where you don't know what to do for the best sometimes, right?! lol

Anyway good luck m8. Don't get disheartened. If I do that I'm doomed to go down but over my dead body is how I look at it, even if that's what happens. :D

Day24 Results

  Thu, 3 May 2012   Didier Drogba Fan Club   3 - 2    Steel City Blades   
  Thu, 3 May 2012   Forever Blowing Bubbles   1 - 1    UNIV. CRAIOVA   
  Thu, 3 May 2012   Spartak   0 - 7    FC Town of Luton   
  Thu, 3 May 2012   Rocket Rangers   0 - 3    Cubana Villains
  Thu, 3 May 2012   Tottenham Hotspur   0 - 2    HaDoKeN F.C

  Thu, 3 May 2012   White hart lane   0 - 3    Tipton Tornadoes   
  Thu, 3 May 2012   Touchnplay   0 - 3    The Pink Charlottes

In 1 of the greatest shocks of all time TheFanClub took the spoils as Michael Essiens late strike was enough to cap a remarkable comeback against SCB, a brilliant result. TheRomanian took a point away from TheBubbles and now has a 5point lead. FCLuton thumped a desperate Spartak side to improve their goal difference. TheCuban kept the pressure on those below with an impressive win against TheRocket. TheCaptain still has chances for the title as he took the points against Tottenham. Bayern were too good for Beticos who needs points and quickly. Tipton were too good for TheLane who are getting prepared for relegation and ThePink were impressive with a good win against TheTouch.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Brads on May 04, 2012, 07:31:17 AM
It wasn't a shock considering I played an AWOL player  :-[

So I was 2-0 up and missed a penalty with 10 men!! But conceded 3 in 25 mins with 9 men  ???

I deserve to lose after doing something as stupid as that

Right then I'm over my initial disappointment and less annoyed at my own stupidity than when I woke up (although I still can't believe I did that)

But I still can't get my head round how I was 2-0 up in the 1st place?!?

I realised what I'd done as soon as I woke up and expected a 4/5-0 thrashing so how come I effectively won the game with 10 men? do you not get punished as much with an AWOL as a red card? Or was it just that I was so dominant tactically with the 10 men that I got away with it? As soon as the random red card kicked in I was always going to lose but I can't understand why I wasn't punished with 10 men in the 1st place!

I think it's fair to assume it was so even because of Steven's boot selection.

Think I did but I fell asleep infront of the telly. Woke up about 4 am and realised I'd not set up, hence the reason I was playing passing. As a result you got a very nice result against me. I was gutted I didn't give you a better run for your money. I'm lucky to still be in 11th place and I have Beticos to play this morning so that's now going to be an even more critical game than ours was.

Day25 Results

 Fri, 4 May 2012   The Pink Charlottes   1 - 1    Steel City Blades   
 Fri, 4 May 2012   HaDoKeN F.C   0 - 0    UNIV. CRAIOVA   
 Fri, 4 May 2012   Bayern Arse   1 - 0    FC Town of Luton

 Fri, 4 May 2012   Touchnplay   3 - 1    Tottenham Hotspur   
 Fri, 4 May 2012   Didier Drogba Fan Club   2 - 0    HH Beticos

SCB were unable to capitalise as they had to settle for a draw away at ThePink. TheRomanian remained on course for the title as he nulified TheCaptains championship bid were a draw and remains 5clear. Bayern took advantage of results around them and moved into the ChampsLeague position with a narrow home win against FCLuton. TheCuban had to settle for a draw away at Tipton who remains in the top half. TheBubbles and Spartak shared the spoils in what could prove to be a crucial point for the latter. We say goodbye to TheLane as TheRocket sealed his fate and moved closer to safety and now only 4points seperate 4teams battling to avoid the drop. TheTouch grabbed an eyecatching home win against Tottenham, a few more wins like that and you never know, safety could be theirs. TheFanClub all but guaranteed safety and continued their good form with a home win against the struggling Beticos.

Yeah that was a definite gift, for if you had logged in you would almost certainly got something out of the game. Cheers for being pleased for me but I fear those points could come back to bite you. Massive games at the bottom tonight as all six are playing each other, might do a little report for each game.

Nice to win a league game for me though and no injuries coming into today's crunch conference game god it's the business end of the season now !
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: touchnplay on May 05, 2012, 08:31:56 AM
Touchnplay v White Hart Lane

A battle of the bottom two tonight. Touch big favourite to move onto 17 points due to the activity of manager andyd. This might seem like a straightforward game but for Touch it's a chance to inflict a bit of revenge for the league and conference A results earlier in the season so will be going all out to inflict the biggest score possible

prediction 3-0

HH beticos v Tottenham Hotspur

Both of these sides coming into this game of the back of matches they may have felt they could have got some points out of so both managers should be desperate to rectify that tonight. Looking at the form guide Tottenham manager Nick has got a slightly better record coming in to this game with 4 points in his last 6 to beticos' 1 so neither have much to boast about. Will the tension be to much and they cancel each other out ? Or can beticos pull it out the bag at the right time to move a point behind Tottenham in the league? Going to be a very close game !

prediction 0-1

Rocket Rangers v Spartak

Rocket gave themselves a great chance of staying up last night with a thumping of white hart lane whilst spartak proved yet again that they can be a thorn in teams sides with a good point away at the bubbles. This one is the biggest of the three games tonight and the hardest to call. 2 points separate them in the league and a win for rocket would see him potentially move up to 11th if results go his way whereas a spartak win gives them a 5 point safety net. Ultimately I think the 2 sides will cancel each other out and can only see this one ending as a draw

prediction 0-0

I can't believe we went from no draws at all for 8 games to not being able to beat each other (except Crewe, unfair :D)!

We need to figure out whether to quit this on day 47 or when an ongoing competition ends (that was created this season) by the way.

Day26 Results


 Sat, 5 May 2012   UNIV. CRAIOVA   1 - 1    Steel City Blades   
 Sat, 5 May 2012   Cubana Villains   1 - 0    FC Town of Luton   
 Sat, 5 May 2012   Bayern Arse   0 - 2    HaDoKeN F.C   
 Sat, 5 May 2012   The Pink Charlottes   1 - 2    Tipton Tornadoes

 Sat, 5 May 2012   Touchnplay   2 - 0    White hart lane   
 Sat, 5 May 2012   Forever Blowing Bubbles   0 - 0    Didier Drogba Fan Club

With 4 games to go TheRomanian has a 4point lead over TheCaptain as he sealed a home draw against previous nearest challenger SCB. TheCuban remained on course for top4 with a home win against FCLuton. TheCaptain kept the pressure on with an away win at Bayern. ThePink form continued to slump with a home defeat to midtable Tipton. TheRocket got thumped at home by Spartak and with that defeat there is now a 5point gap for the bottom 4 to close up. Tottenham may have sealed survival as they put the disappointing Beticos to the sword and almost confirmed their relegation. TheTouch won at home against relegated TheLane but look doomed as well. Mid table TheBubbles and TheFanClub gained a point each in a drab game.

Well done Chiiii can't see anyone catching you now!!

Bit disappointed I look like ending up 3rd but after replacing half my midfield I suppose it's not a bad finish!

Day 47 is probs best to cut off the manager challenge Chiiii, I'm pretty sure with 6 teams between us we'll be in our fair share of PL's all ending at different times atleast this way it'll be a definite cut off point!

It's been a lot closer than I thought it would be after the 1st 3 games  ;)

  Mon, 7 May 2012   Spartak   3 - 0    The Pink Charlottes

A lot of 1 sided games last nite and the results show the bottom 4 are all but gone. TheRomanian is still on course to regain the crown. TheCaptain looks gd for 2nd and SCB have steadied the ship and will return better for next season. TheCuban looks like getting Champs League football but Bayern havent given up yet. 3 GAMES TO GO

 Tue, 8 May 2012   Didier Drogba Fan Club   1 - 4    Tipton Tornadoes   
 Tue, 8 May 2012   Forever Blowing Bubbles   1 - 0    The Pink Charlottes

SCB kept on the pressure with an impressive win at Spartak. The Romanian however doesnt look like making a mistake with a thumping away win at TheRocket who is all but down. Tottenham grabbed a valuable point against FCLuton but can still be caught. Beticos got an important win but need to win their last two to stand any chance but they have dented TheCubans Champs League qualification. TheCaptain had a narrow win away at relegated TheLane and remain four points back. Bayern moved into fourth with a good win away at TheTouch. TheFanClub are on their hols and it showed as they were beaten at home by midtable Tipton. TheBubbles played well to defeat ThePink who have been on the decline since midseason.

A bad result for Crewe can still turn things around, and can't really leave out the possibility of dropping points with this squad.

Besides, winning C5 doesn't exactly earn me any bragging rights! Let's just say there's a reason why I felt confident enough to move a decreasing squad in there. ::)

TheCaptain took the win to set up a final day decider for the title as TheRomanian could only draw at Bayern, a draw will be enough for TheRomanian to reclaim the crown. Tipton recent good form continued as they beat FCLuton. TheCuban returned to fourth with an away win at ThePink. Spartak won at TheLane. TheTouch and TheRocket drew but sadly are both relegated. Tottenham twon at TheFanClub and condemned Beticos to relegation who lost at TheBubbles

I've just realised that Chii is dropping out from FL1 with Colour City meaning 4 will go up from FL2. Me and Charlottes look like we will be in FL1 next season.
So theres going to be a total of 5 teams next seasons FL1 from 2-1-1. Univ, Cubans, Steels, Charlottes & Hadoken. And if somebody else withdraws from FL1 who isn't relegated, Bayern Arse will come up aswell as he come 5th in FL2.

The end of the season and TheRomanian has claimed the prize with an away draw at FCLuton, congratulations to them for being the outstanding team of the season. TheCaptain finished 2nd and had a superb last half of the season, if only they could have been more consistent in the 1st half then the final standings could have been different. SCB finishes 3rd despite a last day defeat to TheCuban who clinches the last ChampsLeague place. Bayern finished the season well with the thumping of Tipton. We lose Beticos who's season has been very poor but his experience should mean they will be back. Tottenham who were safe took their foot off the gas as TheRocket beat them at home but still go down. TheBubbles finished the season well with a comprehensive home win against the relegated TheLane and finally TheFanClub had their best result of the season as TheTouch were put to the sword, relegationfor TheTouch but im sure they will return another season wiser and stronger.

All the best ppl its been a gd season and ive enjoyed the chat and banter on the forum, hopefully next season I can push on further up the league.

Ahhh completely forgot about team positioning last night was hoping to go down on a high note but it wasn't to be. Well done chiii great job on winning the title and FL1 been a great season for you. My manager of the season has to be thecaptain with his second place finish similar to what Newcastle have done in real life if you don't mind that comparison !

Steve great write ups all season mate definitely kept the interest going for me and encouraged everyone to get more involved on the forum which ultimately makes it the best league to be in. Going to miss that next season for sure.

Looking at 2-1-2 for next season it's not going to be easy getting out of that league with some good sides who won't go up through the playoffs combined with the promoted teams from 2-1-3 I'd say there's 8 teams vying for promotion but I hopefully can make the cut.

Overall great season for me was always going to find it tough to stay up but gave it my best shot. Good luck to the boys representing us in the conference championship bad day yesterday but even the best teams have blips  ;) I'm confident we'll go on to win eventually.

Hopefully this time next season i'll be celebrating promotion.

Touch 8)

Day30 Results

All the best ppl its been a gd season and ive enjoyed the chat and banter on the forum, hopefully next season I can push on further up the league.

I know it's already been said many times, Steve, but thank you VERY much for all your hard work and efforts with the fixtures, results and your fab comments. It's been great and I, for one, am really looking forward to continuing reading them next season. Thank you kindly! :)

And yes I did rather take my foot off the gas I'm afraid - not deliberately but I was engrossed in something and to be honest, I completely forgot until it was too late!

Anyway as you say, hopefully we can both do a little better next season and finish somewhat higher than we did. All this malarky at the bottom is no good for my blood pressure you know!  ;D

I think we'd need to win all our remaining games though to stand a chance of winning the UCB, C8's top two are so strong.

Still get second place though!!!

Sorry for the late reply but well done Chiiii on yet another 2-1-1 Title!!
Top quality performance as usual mate and it was a pleasure trying to catch up with you :D
Very happy with my position. Also incredibly happy to be in next seasons Elite Cup & TCL with Hadoken... It's been a while!!

Big shout out also to the Drog's for the really good reviews and reports. Top quality mate. Without this I'm sure the banter wouldn't have been as busy!!

Can't wait for yet another great season! Gonna be my 10th season in 2-1-1 so going to have to spice things up celebrating a decade!

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: stevenm on May 18, 2012, 05:59:12 PM
Our friends at FredsBet have come to our aid again this season to really give us a clear idea on who are the favourites for the best league in the world. Fred Champion the spokesmen has been hard to get hold off this past few days as he answering all queries on this competitive division.

Univ Craoiva 7/4
Managed by Mihai and defending his title he will be hard to shift from the top spot and with some teams having to sign new players he will be even harder to dislodge.

Hadoken FC 7/2
Manager Mustafa or better known as TheCaptain is a real force nowadays and may even have won the league had it not have been for a poor start to the season. He will come again and may be the true challenger to TheRomanian.

Steel City Blades 4/1
Managed by Brad and a true Con2 stalwart, he will have a major say in the destination of the title, with some new players on the horizon Brad will be hoping they gel quickly so they can challenge again and reclaim their title.

Cubana Villains 6/1
This could be Decas season as he strives to regain the glory from so many seasons ago. Always tough to beat, TheCuban will be hoping to turn last seasons draws into victories and go that extra step this season.

Bayern Arse 8/1
Consistency seems to be the problem for manager Alex, last season he was very inconsistent and really hampered his aim of reaching the ChampsLeague. This season he will be aiming for the top4 and maybe even a tilt at the title.

The Pink Charlottes 10/1
A fabulous start to last season really put ThePink on the map but a poor end of season cost them dear. A real threat to the main contenders and a top4 is not out the question.

Tipton Tornadoes 14/1
Managed by Peter and they seem to be in the midtable group, able to defeat those lower but coming unstuck against the elite, he will be hoping to make progress and really challenge those above.

FC Town of Luton 16/1
Manager Martin is concerned on the state of his team and this season could be all about consolidation, many managers know his quality so will not take him lightly and could play a major part in the destination of the title due to being hard to beat.

The Wizards Sleeve 20/1
Champion of Div2 and has some good results to his name, will be confident of a top8 finish.

Forever Blowing Bubbles 25/1
Last season this team was in limbo as they were never threatened with relegation but did not have the quality to get in the top6, they will be looking to get in the top8 this season.

Didier Drogba FanClub 33/1
A disappointing season last time out so they will be hoping to make that next step and challenge the top8 places.

Betty Swollocks XI 40/1
Last seasons runner up in Div2 and will be hoping to stay in the division, anything more will be a bonus.

Tottenham Hotspur 40/1
Managed by Nick, he will be hoping to move up the league but maybe another fight against relegation will be what happens.

Spartak 50/1
Manager Chris really had a fight to avoid relegation last season and only survived due to a Wigan like run at the end, again he will be keen to move up the league.

Dynamo St Jude 66/1
Managed by Romy, little is known about this team so could be dangerous but they are unlikely to challenge and a top8 is surely the highest they can reach.

-------------- 80/1
Managed by whoknows, this team is very secretive but he will find it hard to compete and avoiding relegation will be a success.

This looks like being a very competitive league and by the end the champion will really deserve the title and those relegated will no doubt have been in the top8 in many of the other conferences.

Good luck all

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: MartinW63 on May 18, 2012, 07:07:47 PM
Yeah two of your young kids cost more than my whole squad ;D!! 16 -1 would be my chances of top 8 as another player has peaked :(! I thought I bought him at 29 he was fine for 5 days after 7 years then blamo decline... I have another going at day 15 so I will have 50% season 1/2 for most of the season :'(. Still on the bright side I finally won another UCB (I know far too late) game and we have Steve's quality write ups to keep me going..... bring it on Deca!

Tottenham Hotspur 40/1
Managed by Nick, he will be hoping to move up the league but maybe another fight against relegation will be what happens.

Hmmm 40/1? After the first game I'm pondering a couple of quid and as an old friend of mine used to say when playing poker ... "If you don't win the first hand, you can't win 'em all!" and how true but in my case, I'm not so sure. I'll have to start getting some new players in shortly, although hopefully won't need too many just yet awhile but we'll see. Happy with my 7-0 win against the Swollocks but we all know it's very early days just yet and with me having to play The Cap'n this morning, well it could be won one lost one before the morning comes round. Time will tell but I'll be there all guns blazing if I possibly can and ... well should be an interesting season. Who knows? :D

Too much class for that. I have a feeling it was one of those early season freak results, had one against me on my first game in 2-1-1. Tipton battered me 5-1 despite only having ta for 30 minutes (I was 3-1 down with ta for me or equal and correct set up at home). Nick's battering of the Swetties has those hallmarks also I believe. Anyway missing the write up now ???. Come on Steve I need my fix ;)  ;)!

 Fri, 18 May 2012   Tottenham Hotspur   7 - 0    Betty Swollocks XI

The start of the season and there were a couple of shocks and some teams putting an early marker down for the title.
TheRomanian could only manage a bore draw with ThePink. TheCaptain got off to a good start with a narrow home win against Bayern. SCB were too good for Tipton to show their credentials at this early stage. FCLuton were oo good for TheCuban in the 1st shock of the season, can Luton go that extra step this season. TheWizard showed his undoubted quality as he proved too good at TheBubbles. Dynamo put TheFanClub to the sword after TheDrog tried to be to cute with their tactics. Spartak got off to a good start with a vital 3points and Tottenham hammered Betty to set the early pace, can he prove FredsBet wrong and be a force this season.

Well as long as you don't get too much stronger before our game this morning, Cap'n. :)

As for me, no disrespect taken and as you say, you never know. Mind you, your home advantage could possibly be a strong point for you, especially with "no ref". Always a good advantage for a home team and as those "no ref"s appear so rarely, I'm rather worried to be honest but we'll see. Who knows? Mind you, I think a draw would be the best bet for me all things considered so what do you say, we share the spoils? ;D

TheRomanian returned to the winners circle with a comfortable win over Spartak. TheCaptain stayed near the top as he put the league leader Tottenham clearly in his place. SCB put Dynamo away with a clinical result at home. TheCuban opened his account with a narrow win at home. Bayern also won with a confidence boosting result against Betty. TheWizard could be the dark horse for european qualification as he thumped Tipton away from home. FCLuton were too good for TheBubbles and remain in the 100%club and ThePink put TheFanClub away, could be a tough season for Drogs men.

Yes well played Captain. I knew it was going to be tough and that's how it proved to be. I don't know how crucial that "no ref" was but if I'd been at home, who knows? :)

And this morning I'm playing Drogs so that should be an interesting game. We both need the win here (yes already!) so good luck m8.

At least so far I'm doing well in the friendly table - 2nd place today after my 20-0 win and only 2 goals behind the leader. The problem for me perhaps, is filling my schedule. I have 6 fixtures still left to fill and despite the fact I have 6 'challenges' waiting to be accepted and 4 people challenging me which I'm holding a "watching brief" to see what happens with the ones I've challenged first, I am just hoping that the "friendly table fixtures bug" doesn't come back again to haunt me. Time will tell over the next 24 to 48 hours I guess. Please God let everything go ok so I don't have to accept challenges from really tough teams or managers to make up the numbers ... so sorry Chiii, that's why I refused your challenge earlier. I've no wish to commit hurry curry just yet!  ;D

TheRomanian and SCB shared the spoils after they cancelled each other out. TheCaptain and TheCuban also had a stalemate as things got cagey at the top. FCLuton gained a valuable point to stay level at the top after drawing with Bayern. ThePink drew away at Tipton which may be a disappointing result considering Tiptons start to the campaign. TheBubbles won at home to Spartak. TheFanClub got back on track as Tottenham suffered defeat at their hands. Dynamo won at home to pointless Betty and in somewhat of a surprise TheWizard lost away from home.

Yeah me too, only last season I was one fixture short so even if I'd been winning 30-0 every day I'd still not have won because of it. Even this season the 'game' started refunding friendly challenges I'd made before my schedule was full and it's that which really p's me off. ;D

Anyway thankfully I'm full now so all's well that ends well, 3 or 4 solid teams included - just hopefully not as solid as some of the others who were challenging me.  ;)

TheRomanian remained unbeaten as he beat TheCuban with a narrow victory. SCB proved to good for TheCaptain in a five goal thriller to remain on top. ThePink recorded a good win away at Bayern to keep the pressure on those above. FCLuton stayed in 2nd and continued his good form as he overcame Tipton away. TheBubbles and Tottenham fought out a score draw. TheFanClub must improve as they drew at home with Spartak. TheWizard put their last game behind them as he was too good for Dynamo and Betty fought out a bore draw to get their first point but remain rooted to the bottom of the table.

Might want to join one of the lower leagues now that you still have a shot at promotion, who would want to leave this league? 8)

I've not been using the forums as much lately, in the middle of preparation for exams and other stuff with the end of the school year approaching and all.

Never got the chance to pronounce myself as winner of the first installation of the manager challenge cup!!  8) Won't do the tables this season though, perhaps next season.

League is shaping up to be the tight with everyone likely to pull off a surprise :)! Got a feeling I'm about to come a cropper in the next couple of games....... ??? Captain have you smoked that fat one  8) and calmed down yet? Steve keep the write ups coming we all appreciate them ;D.

Haha yes Nick!! - Relaxed now again!

I guess we know the secret now to your success last season!

Really rode my luck! A draw was probably a fairer result, unlucky Brads.

Yes mate you were lucky  :)

I was torn between 5-2-3 and 4-3-3 but only had 5 defenders available, knowing that you injured one of my defenders last time I opted for 4-3-3! Obviously the wrong choice  ;D

Think I'll have to rule myself out of the running this season and probably a couple more after that! Bought the best defender I've seen on the TM for 4 days yesterday, cost me 1800 and let's just says he won't be playing 1st team football for a while!! Got another defender declining and with the poor standard of defenders I can't see me winning it anytime soon

I've just seen tomorrows fixtures good job I've got an easy game after a day sesh at wembley might be the easiest 3 pts Deca gets all season lol

Easy 3 points against you Brads......I very much doubt it...... :) :) :)

I'm kind of in a similar situation in that my team just aint strong enough to win 2-1-1 at present, maybe another season or so.

When your team aint strong enough, you cant hold out without conceding.... :) :) :)

All tough matches for me though, and no shocks or complaints losing,

Tough league,

 Sat, 26 May 2012   Betty Swollocks XI   vs    Wizards Sleeve FC   

Day7 fixtures brings out some big games which could make or break some challengers aspirations at this early stage. TheRomanian and TheCaptain square up in the MOTD and TheCaptain knows if he loses this he faces an uphill battle for a tilt at the title. SCB and TheCuban face off and both know that defeat must be avoided to keep pace with the leaders. Bayern face Tipton and both are struggling at the wrong end of the table, its a must win for both. League leaders FCLuton faces a tricky tie with ThePink, if he wins this the other contenders will take him very seriously. TheBubbles and TheFanClub meet both trying to stay away from the dreaded drop zone. Spartak and Tottenham will battle it out knowing the loser will be in the relegation zone tonite. Dynamo will be looking for 3points but knows he faces a tough challenge. Betty who has seen an upturn in form meets TheWizard who needs the win to keep tabs with the leader and benefit from the obvious drop points from some of the title contenders.

Got myself in a great position just have to keep my concentration when setting up for league games and I have no doubt i'll be in the top 3 come the end of the season.

Been keeping up with 2-1-1 as well you've had a great start keep it up. I think the conference is even tougher this year so it's anyones guess as to who will win and who will go down that relegation battle looks almost as exciting as the title !

The Pink Charlottes   0 - 0    UNIV. CRAIOVA
Bayern Arse   1 - 2    HaDoKeN F.C   
Tipton Tornadoes   2 - 1    Steel City Blades   
FC Town of Luton   2 - 0    Cubana Villains
Wizards Sleeve FC   1 - 0    Forever Blowing Bubbles
Dynamo St Jude   2 - 1    Didier Drogba Fan Club   
--------------------   2 - 0    Spartak   
Betty Swollocks XI   0 - 2    Tottenham Hotspur


A shock defeat yesterday saw the Tipton Tornadoes snatch the 3 points from Brad's Blades. Lou Briccant 94.1 AS put the away leaders in the lead with a lucky shot that just sneaked inside of the post on 35mins. However, Tipton Tornadoes had come out strong in the 2nd half and with this equalized on the 52nd minute thanks to Alec Tricity with a striker from the left wing. The Blades had suddenly become 2nd best in this game and on the 75th minute the Tornadoes got the 2nd goal! Alec Tricity with his 2nd goal after beating the offside trap and comfortably passing the goalkeeper 1 on 1 on the 75th minute. FC Town of Luton go up to 1st after comfortably beating Deca's Cubanas. Luton started the more brighter of the teams and scored to make it 1-0 on the 26th minute thanks to Chester Draws corner. A lot of tactical changes after this goal from both teams resulted in a stalemate until the 82nd minute were Bill Dersacre secured the 3 points for Luton with a vital goal to finish of the game. I'm sure Deca will be kicking himself with this result. They need to do better if they have any chance to compete at the top. HaDoKeN F.C knowing they had to win to put pressure on the top 2 had to face a tough opponent in Bayern's Arse away. HaDoKeN started of the much better team and Green Crack put them in the lead on 22minutes which did look like an illegal goal after looking at the reply. Nevertheless Bayern's attitude towards the game had fixed up and on the 68th minute were awarded a penalty. Ray Curley slotted the ball home to make it 1-1. Hadoken knowing they had to get the 3points went attacking and this proved vital as Afghan Kush was fouled in the penalty box only for Willmot Piddleethwaite the referee to award a penalty to the away side. The man who got fouled, Afghan Kush stepped up the penalty and blasted it in the top left corner of the goal to give Hadoken F.C the lead once again. A crucial 3 points for Captain Kush and his team!
Current champions UNIV could only manage a bore draw against underdogs Pink Charlottes. After a really good start to the season, we were expecting UNIV to probably win the league again but recent form has been downhill. With only 5points gained from a possible 15 in the last 5 games, it seems that UNIV have gone down the pecking order. Rainy conditions in their game last night could explain the bore draw. Wizard's Sleeve have had an exciting and rather good 1st season in 2-1-1. They are currently positioned in 5th and most be loving life at the moment. Wizard's must thank their player Barb Dwyer who was the only goal scorer in yesterdays game against the Bubbles. Bubbles are in 13th and are edging toward the relegation zone. They need to start getting some points down if they are to keep their place in 2-1-1.  Another debut team Dynamo St Jude have had an on and off season so far. Currently in 9th, I'm sure they have sights on a top 8 finish this season and yesterdays 2-1 against The Drogs shows that their ambition is getting more realistic by the day. A double from Andy Baker was enough to dispose The Drogs. Steven's men are finding it very hard this season in 2-1-1. They are 4 points away from drift and need to start getting some points on the table asap! Tottenham Hotspurs gained an important 3 points yesterday as they recorded a 2-0 win away against the Swollocks who have been at their best at all this season. Nick's men dominated in tactics and 2 goals in the 2nd half were enough to grab all 3 points. Tottenham are still in the relegation zone but remain 2 points away from safety and with 14 games to go, I'm sure they will think they have a chance of staying up. Swollock's go down to 10th. Their a team that should have standards of a minimum top 8 position. Last game to talk about and we saw bottom team ---------- defeat Spartak 2-0 at home. Going to be a disappointing result for Spartak who must who have thought they could get 3 points here. However, ---------- still remain last and it looks like they will be relegated, but if they can produce more odd surprises, who knows.

Brads there's far too many games against top sides, all of whom will set up with the intention to win the game, to go for predictions :). Somehow I have scrapped my way to leading at the moment, there will be plenty of twists and turns before the end ;)!
However I will be trying my best to have a laugh all the way through to the end!!
So Captain are you part of the Murdoch Empire and when will you be appearing at the Levison? As this level of information in the right up suggests phone hacking at the very least!!

P.S. Only joking the write up was way cool 8).

Guys as much as it pains me to do it I'm gonna have withdraw the blades from our UCB team!

Its took a lot longer than I expected for it to get organised and as the missus is due on Saturday I can't guarantee that I'll be able to setup properly or even at all depending on what happens. I think it's better if we find a replacement now rather than me costing us the title  ;)

As a dad to boisterous just turned 4 year old twins, I can safely tell you Brads eventually you will have plenty of early mornings to set your boys up :D!! But for now I hope all goes well with the birth and most of all enjoy the next few months, you will get some sleep...... eventually ;).

Should be yet another cracking new season!

Captain I knew my final 2 games were hard for my cheep/old squad to handle. Still quite proud as I started the season with 8 one season old players and the whole squad cost 17,200 credits. Still get to play with the big boys in the UCB again! Not bad when I seriously thought I could be in a relegation battle, as I have a similar strength squad to Wombles team (well done for staying up mate ;)). Roll on next season....

Well done Brads,

Great performance to win 2-1-1 for the second time in 3 seasons!!!

Unlucky FC Luton, you almost defied the odds by winning the title with a team way below the strength of the Blades, my Cubans, Univ, Hadoken, etc. Really punched above your weight!!!
I hope you can bring your league form to the UCB!!!

Well done the Hadoken, runner up in consequtive seasons.

Apologies Brads, I didnt realise your baby was premature, but really glad to hear baby is doing well

Cheers

Deca!!!
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: captain_kush on June 29, 2012, 05:19:20 AM
Overall I'm happy with this season.
Runner up and winning FL2 means I get to go into FL1 next season :D
Not to mention a place in the TCL aswell.

Looking at my team now, looks like only 1 player will need to be replaced next season so hopefully I can try push for the title!

Apologies Brads, I didnt realise your baby was premature, but really glad to hear baby is doing well

I wish it was as simple as that!

Was born with "transposition of the main vessels/arteries" (google explains it a lot better than me!)
Basically meant major heart surgery when he was around 36 hours old and because he was so poorly they didn't expect him to survive, but he's still around and keeps improving so hopefully we'll all be able to go home soon

Don't worry about not knowing Deca, I never really advertised the fact on here  ;)
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: MartinW63 on June 29, 2012, 11:51:03 AM
Actually I getting carried away about the UCB, as are we going with last seasons pick or is Brads picking the side as winner (and captain) of this seasons team?

(quote) Unlucky FC Luton, you almost defied the odds by winning the title with a team way below the strength of the Blades, my Cubans, Univ, Hadoken, etc. Really punched above your weight!!!
 (quote)

As for team strength, I had it worked out last year I was around 10th to 12th strongest in the league, which was why I thought it would be relegation not title I would be fighting for/against. Probably with the way I finished I will be in a battle at the other end next season ;).

Mate got the idea from your random write up last season (any chance of some more, proper quality?). The idea is I can try and write stuff during the week, if I get chance and put up some posts at the weekend, say 4 so 16 downloads are available. However the pay back is I will attempt to get some input from you guys in the form of a questionnaire (so its not just my bullshit filler). Might not be weekly but will be a payback for trying to get into C2 and keep SL1 alive and kicking.

This is sweet, thanks for spending your time on this.  It's so needed to breathe a bit of life into C2 that was a little lacking last season once Drogba went AWOL.

If you need a hand with these reports, let me know  I can't dedicate 100% of my time to it but if you're prepared to make an effort then the least I can do is make some myself.

Cheers

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: MartinW63 on July 10, 2012, 04:49:00 AM
Guys thanks for all the thanks/offers of support. One easy way would be to pick a division game when you get time (probably best not one you are in) and write a report on it, like the papers do. Heres an example:
Cubs Hang On.
Sunday the 8th of July.
Cubana Villians 2 Uravinalaf 1
What on paper looked like an easy home win for the league leaders almost turned into a banana skin They took the lead just before the half an hour mark, from a spectacular long range effort from star striker Manuel Garcia and when Man of the Match Willy Pandoza, got the second a rout was on the cards. However a tactical change from Uravs Manager Dave Lanning on 60 minutes to a counter attacking style almost reaped dividends with Brighton Early scoring immediately setting up a nail biting finish. Tactical Advantage CV 30M U 45M.

That was my take on the game. So all you need to do is mention the scorers/managers any bit of interest such as sendings off,  try and figure out a headline etc and put the TA count at the end. Send it to me in my message box and I will cut and paste and  into the round up.
Ta muchly.
Martin.

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.  :-[

Con2 UCB selection:

1.FC Town of Luton

I've been very upset with the ME lately, it doesn't reward me with goals when it's supposed to anymore. I'm not sure why, my team still packs a punch. Sort of makes my advanced tactics irrelevant when I can't count on goals, so find it hard to actually give a crap and setup anymore.

Yes mate I hope it starts changing with you from tomorrow and not tonight ;)
That would be great news for Stato, but wouldn't really change anything for you since I'm not in charge of UNIV atm :D

Ahh my bad.
I assumed your earlier post was about UNIV as 4 draws in 6 games so far.

But ye I hope to achieve atleast a point tonight. 30mins to find out!

Just a general complaint, mate. :)

I still win a lot of my games because my team is strong enough but it's not very satisfying to win when my results boil down to either luck or team strenght.

No probs Chili, thanks for getting the questionnaire back so quick! I think it makes good reading finding out about the man behind the team so to speak! I hope some of the others get back to me, so we can carry this on, otherwise it's just my gibberish your reading ;).
Turner if you (or anyone else) wants to do a brief write up on some games or fill in a questionnaire and send them to me I will put it in and even add some of my thoughts/garbage! ;D

Don't know about you guys but one of the things I really miss with these new forums is the club badge of the team and a link to the manager profile. Unless you happen to know which manager runs which club - and a few I do but not many, it's impossible now to know what people are talking about in here when referring to their own teams but not by name. Oh well.

Thanks for thanks guys but a lot of it was your work! Now all we need is to get some of the rest on board? Chili you'll also need a nickname for Colour City, maybe something clever in another language perhaps? As for the home ground how about the Stadium of Rainbows, or Estadio di Arcobeleni (literal Italian translation) or maybe the Norwegian translation? The good thing with this is I can ask the newly promoted teams what they would like to get them feeling involved, as it is a bit intimidating when you first come up to post. :D.

Martin,

My apologies, have been run off and around for the past couple of weeks.  Can you PM me your email addy again and I'll send you my questionnaire ?

Cheers
Globus
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Chili on July 28, 2012, 06:14:05 PM
I thought Stadium of Rainbows was a good idea. It reminded me of Theatre of Dreams, so made mixed them together for the mighy Theatre of Rainbows which is currently being used by Colour City, Port Morrow, and also UNIV. CRAIOVA and Crewe Alexandra given their current state of vagrancy.

It also houses a unknown club but they live in the dressing rooms in the basement and nobody has seen them yet.

As for the nickname, it could be cool with the Norwegian translation. Fargenes by (city of colours) could work. 8)

Interesting up top, advantage Stoners but can they keep it up? UCB the rest of you guys are keeping us up there although I seem to be better at getting points away from 2-1-1. FL1 the title is coming to C2 but who, can the Cubs catch Captain Kush's men? The Wizz have hit form in FL2 at the right time will they add another C2 name to the FL1 roster? it seems our Conference is having a good season, now we enter squeaky bum time, good luck to all...... ;D

Trying my best for the Con in the UCB, actually got 9 points in the UCB opposed to 3 in the league at the same time, work that out 8)? In reality the work is being done by the Cubs and of course the Stoners. Hopefully I have more home games than away left so I can help out!

Well we both got tough games next you against Deca and me against Globus so It's still all to play for. If I Lose and you win, you go on top due to your superior goal difference but some pressure has gone off. As we both have easy last games I'm hoping to catch at least a draw tomorrow.

Thanks a lot guys - Much appreciated :D
Really happy to get my first 2-1-1 trophy in the cabinet :D
I thought at the end I bottled it and Brad would have won yet another but seemed I stayed strong and pulled off the odds :D
Was a bit pissed I didn't win FL1 when had the chance but all that's gone now thanks to winning this  8)

Was a brilliant season guys. Next season should be as epic as ever with me looking to retain the title, Brad looking for some revenge, Deca's team getting very strong, Mihai coming back, Wizards becoming a top force & I'm sure FC Luton will come out much stronger next season after a disappointing season for them surely. Not to mention some good teams getting promoted to 2-1-1 next season also.

Post by: Mancunian_Nick on August 16, 2012, 02:09:34 PM
Hi guys ... remember me?!  8)

Just popped in to say I've not been reading in here (or forums in general) for a while - very sporadic depending on how busy, or otherwise I am.

Let me just say that Cap'n just read 2 of your weekly reports. Excellent! Very well done indeed. Almost professional!  ;D

Finally, for now, I won my semi final play off this morning against ----------- .... or should that be __________ I'm never too sure.  :P

Anyway day off today (Thursday) and tomorrow morning (Friday night/Saturday morning) will have the final to see whether or not I come up to rejoin you boys in 2-1-1 and hopefully give you all a better run for your money - despite the fact I had to replace a few players who are only now slowly starting to improve and very soon I'll have another 3 or 4 players at least to replace so somehow I don't think I'll be a threat just yet even if I do come up for next season but you all know if I do, I'll be in there kicking and screaming and fighting my way to the top!!  ;D

So well done to all concerned for your wins and, as Arnie once said (allegedly lol) ... I'll be back!!  :D

Seeya later aligators.  :)

Great effort by all

Cheers Kush. You'll be pleased to know I beat white hart lane 5-0 so yes, back in 2-1-1 again. Really looking forward to it. If I can get in the top 8, I'll be happy but may take another season or two. We'll see.

BTW Just out of curiousity, whatever happened to Steve who it was, if memory serves me right, used to do the daily write-ups for us in here? Has he left SL or just not in 2-1-1 now?  ???

Do you guys mind if I post the questionnaire in each conference to see if any other managers are willing to fill it in? I have nothing to do with this so it's up to the creators. Sorry for prying where I don't belong  :-[  :D

what do you all think?
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO

Must admit I think the same, Deca had a great 2nd half of the season and Kush seems to get stronger every season although I wouldn't write yourself off mihai!!

My team needs 2 more replacing already could be a long hard season :(
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO

I've already replaced 2 or 3 of mine during last season and am soon due (I must check actually as they may already have moved on?!) to replace even more - maybe 3 or 4 but then I've already 'hinted' about this already before I played my final play-off to come up.

Well Martin, looks like this is going to be a very interesting first game of the season, huh?!  ;D Good luck m8. Just hope you don't get as much as me, that's all. :)
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: MartinW63 on August 20, 2012, 07:51:20 PM
The top 4 of last season to me look likely to all be in the mix again. The Wizz possible to break in if someone slips up. Although to be honest any of the top 8 or 9 can beat any of the others with the right tactics. I do believe if you get on a roll sometimes you can become unbeatable even when you cock the tactics up, so there may well be a shock. Who knows even the Twatters may feature again?
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: captain_kush on August 20, 2012, 08:53:01 PM

Very strong and tough at the moment.

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Globus on August 20, 2012, 09:00:15 PM
Deca, Brads, Mihai, Kush etc etc etc

Probably a mix of those 4.  I'll have to have had an extreme season to break that 4 if I'm honest.

Will be happy with top 6 - and I also expect Martin to improve from last season too.

p.s.  I missed Pink Charlottes too - very good side.

After a season away trying to sort out a deal to provide value to Conference 2, FredsBet has returned hoping to get the punters involved in this clash of the heavyweight conference. Spokesman Fred Champion will be guiding us through the season and offering some tempters for the next seven weeks.

TheCaptain took the spoils last season and his odds of 5/2 look good value again. Steel City Blades so often the victor will be looking for redemption this season and his price of 3/1 sure looks tempting.
TheRomanian is always in the mix and he will be hoping to throw his hat in the ring and so 4/1 will have many a punter tempted. Cubana Villains is managed by Castro and he will be no pushover in the title race, priced at 5/1 can he produce consistency to take the crown.

The generous bookie FredsBet has given us an early season bet. Who will get involved in the match between defending champs Hadoken (captain) v ThePinkCharlottes(goldie). A wincast bet that AfghanKush scores and Hadoken win priced as 5/2.

Hi Cap'n. Thanks. Tried my best but suspected you would win, especially with your stronger team and me being away.

As for wrong boots, don't know what you mean. I'll go back and look. Unless I doze off or forget and don't set up (can't remember if I did that with you or not - don't think so off the top of my head?) then that's different but otherwise I always choose my boots carefully. I'll go take a peek in a moment. :)

As for you being away, why couldn't you go a day or two sooner? That way I might have won!  ;D Mind you, depends who your caretaker is.  ;) :P

Just checked and I certainly did set up and I can see what you meant about the boots. That's weird and I'm sure I didn't set up blades. Not sure what happened there. I'll have to keep a closer eye on things in case there's summat up with that?!  ::)
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: womble on August 26, 2012, 06:39:55 PM
There is a known bug with the boots. It defaults to blades sometimes mate.

I think if you setup but don't change your boots (i.e. because they are already the right type), it defaults to blades I think.

I check and then recheck my boots loads of times before matches!

Thanks for telling me guys - I didn't know about that one - the boots bug but I'll try to keep a closer eye on that also.

Like to apologise to Brads though for my result this morning - away to the Blades and managed to get a 0-0 draw. How I've no idea. According to the match report, he had 62% possession to my 38% and whilst I know that's only cosmetic (or so I've been told previously?), even so. I've woken this morning at the computer at about 6.45am and looked at the result and am scratching my head - I'm sure I set up some ATs but then now I'm not sure whether I dreamt it or not? It's weird. Certainly according to the report I didn't use any or non happened but I know they weren't all "if 1 goal down" or "if not winning" or whatever. I'm sure I'd done an "exactly at 75 mins" and changed tactics and substitued 3 players. I'm sure but then I'm still sitting here at 7.14am it is now as I'm writing this, scratching my head and wondering - "but did I"?  ::) :o ;D

Cue sounds of that black and white sci fi programme of the 60s with that weird music!  ;D

To be honest, you're best off reading the other thread in this general discussion area (Today) in which Terry says the game was supposed to have been rolled back to 1 minute prior to the league games and then paused but there was no pause. The controversy, as you may have seen by now (?) is why they were rolled back to before the league game when it was the afternoon friendlies and PLs that were unable to be accessed/setup by most people, including myself but as I was very lucky and got a 14-1 win, as I think I said earlier, I wasn't too bothered. So Terry is having a look into the matter and will hopefully report back later. I'm as intrigued as you are to know what's going on.  ::) :P

Anyway I hope the shock/surprise of finding out it was me wasn't too much of a shock to your system matey.  ;D

Hi guys.
I am back from my holiday. Was very much surprised to see what had happened with the roll back and all the madness.
Really dissapointed with cat games about this. - No respect, loyalty or positive customer service towards us customers/managers.
Looks like I have to face the rockets again and the bad thing about it is that they have logged in so I have no idea if they are going to use the same tactics or not.
Oh well.

Yeah really sorry about that, Brads. I seem to remember you beat me good and proper the first time (4-0 was it?) and now 1-1 draw. Happy to get a draw against you all things considered but don't like taking it like that to be honest. :(

And I know what you mean. I managed to buy a new STR(L) before the roll back for only 500 creds. Amazing considering the stats. Most were 95 and only 25 years old I think. Went to check this morning before the game with you (Steel City) and there were another 2 bids! So instead of getting the player for 500 creds as I had previously, it cost me an extra 2,500 on top! :( I could perhaps have bid less but I've seen worse players going for more so I did a max bid just to make sure. Don't get me wrong, he was a bargain at only 3,000 creds but having previously already got him for 500 - well bit peeved to say the least but hey ho, never mind. :)

It bloody sucks mate.
I lost both of my doubles matches today when i had drew both.
Happy I beat the rockets as they logged in. Kinda sucks though as I would of had a higher goal difference which could make the difference towards the end of the season.
Hopefully doesn't happen again - Don't want the top managers to end up leaving all of a sudden cause of everyone does go, it leaves with no choice but to do the same unfortunately.

Post by: Mancunian_Nick on August 31, 2012, 02:25:21 AM
I'm a bit peeved, although at the end of the day it was my own stupid fault I guess, but this morning I played Craiova who prior to the draw, I'd drawn 0-0 with.

After the roll back for some strange reason the little update tactics button was green, so I stupidly (ignorantly?) thought the tactics I'd set up for our previous game (the 0-0 draw one) were still there active. Why I didn't go in and check, I've no idea because if I had, I'd have seen the injured player in my squad. I'd have seen that I'd not set up advance tactics - or even basic ones come to that so was playing wrong boots and heaven knows what else. How long would it have taken me just to click and check? <sigh>

No good moaning and closing the stable door once the horse has bolted of course. Guess I'll know next time but frustrated upon seeing it, doesn't begin to cut it. :)

So sorry to Blades again for the draw after he beat me and it seems I handed a victory to Craiova when previously we'd got a 0-0 draw. Talk about swings and roundabouts. :)

Still at last the madness ends and hopefully we can get back to reality.  ;D

Will have a think of it and will decide and put the team up tomorrow.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: captain_kush on September 03, 2012, 08:29:59 PM
Ok guys regarding the UCB:

I'm sorry to inform you of this guys but I think I will sit out of this seasons UCB. I have uni starting soon and will be busy doing my masters so I don't really want to be involved in a lot of private leagues. Also to be honest i've lost a bit of interest in this game as of late. Don't worry i'm not quiting anytime soon but would like to take it easy for a bit as of now.
Also I would like to give a chance to other managers who don't always get chosen. In my opinion everyone should have the right to compete for their conference and for this:

1) Steel City Blades - (captain)
2) Cubana Villians
3) UNIV
4) Wizards Sleeves

Reserve:
1) FC Town of Luton
2) Pink Charlottes

Been really impressed with the wizards as of recent. Making it to the final of the ICC last season, getting into FL1 and even beating me yesterday in the division so I think globus deserves a spot for sure.
Brad & Deca both currently very strong so they should also be up there. It was a close one to choose between Mihai and Martin as Mihai has just returned back to SL so he might be a bit rusty but certainly not showing it at all this season. Definetley one to watch out for.
Martin's Luton to be first reserve. You did really have a poor last season mate and for this you are first reserve. Don't get it wrong though mate your doing really well this season and I'm sure you'll be causing a lot of problems.
Obviously as you guys have said I have the right to choose but as I will not be competing, Brad if you wish to alter anything please do go for it as you are second in line :)

Of course I would be happy to represent our conference.  However, there are other teams/managers that have been knocking on the door longer than me.  (See Martin and Goldie but for two ! )

If there is a consensus that I should take part then I'm honoured and will do my best for C2 of course, if not then whoever represents gets my full support as always :)  !!!!

Join the club, Brads. I've done that a couple of times this season already.  :-\

And lost so many games recently on just the odd goal, I think the match engine has it in for me so I know exactly how Kush feels. But then again, whilst I was hoping, I never realistically thought I'd be in the mix this season as so many of my key players are, or already have, come to the end of their useful service. Oh well c'est la vie.  :P

Not taking anything away from anyone but I seriously can't be even be bothered setting up and doing my research on my opponents any more :(
It may look like I'll be joining the lower divisions next season.

I know how you feel mate, it's been more like a chore for me than enjoyment last couple of weeks!!
Although I don't think I'll drop down the conference but afternoon game might be off the agenda next season

lost 2 important points last night ... a draw to a team that my rivals beat
I should had anticipated that Rocket Rangers will change tactics against me.

Anyway, good luck tonight Globus!
Did the same to me, too - only I lost all 3 points! :( His previous 3 games used same advanced tactics yet against me, he decided to change them. Yes I know that can always happen, especially when playing ME for some reason.  ::)

Oh well at this rate I'll be out of contention of staying up before we've even hit the half way point. I knew it was going to be tough with having to change players and certain key injuries etc but even I never thought it would this much hard going. Oh well never mind, fill your boots, lads!!  :P ;D

Great write up Martin - Always a pleasure to read your reports   :D

Also good game yesterday Brad, was a close call. Should have really been a draw but seemed the match engine was on my side yesterday.
Would be good if both of us made the finals of the ICC. Good luck!

Its going to the wire I reckon, but can't predict the winner as yet, I'm not too confident myself, but will see how things pan out, Regardless of who wins this is such a competitive and tough league to win, as like Brads found out, if you get your tactics wrong you'll get punished.

Cheers

Deca!!!

Yes Deca it is very close this season and anybody can win it.  Looks like me, you and Brads are slowly making our own group at the top.
Very pleased to get the win yesterday against Globus - Always very tough to face. Was surprised with the 3-0 but seemed I got my tactics spot on.

Should be favourite in tonight's CS quarter final match but with this match engine you just never know  ???

Another good result for me/Tottenham this morning - nice little 9-0 win over the Charlottes. Getting quite 'interesting' at the bottom now with 6 games left to play.  :P

Still 5 points behind Spartak and 7 points behind Tipton so as they used to say in Stingray - anything can happen in the next half hour.  ;D

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Mancunian_Nick on October 03, 2012, 04:10:38 AM
Unlucky Kush!  :-\

Well despite the fact it's 4am and yes, I'm still up at this unGodly hour, it's because partly I'm trying to finish an important letter (long one) that needs to be finished and posted by 4.50pm today (Wednesday), I was also on tenterhooks about my crucial game with the Tornadoes. I was 3 points behind before the match and 4 points behind Spartak, one place above Tipton. It was a game I had to win to stand any chance at all of staying up nex season and, I'm delighted to say, I beat him 2-0 so I'm now level on points with him, although still in 13th place on goal difference!  ::)

For my final game tomorrow, I play Spartak who is currently still in 11th place, one above Tipton. So it all hangs on the results tomorrow between my game with Spartak and Tipton's game with FC Town of Luton in 6th place!  :P I can't see me bettering Tipton's goal difference now as I've conceded more goals (46) but if he draws and I win, I stay up. If he looses and I draw or win, I stay up. A loss will stuff me regardless whether or not Tipton wins, draws or looses so it's going to prove a very exciting game. Watch this space as they say.  :-*

Come on Martin, don't let me down y'hear!!  ;D :P
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO

Well done and many congraulations Deca for winning your second 2-1-1 title :) ... Fully deserved.
Thanks Stato, I am more than glad to end up coming runner up. Well I should be anyway unless I lose like 10-0 tonight but I'm sure that wont happen :P ... If I do come 2nd means I've come atleast 2nd for the past 4 seasons which I reckon is a great result with the nature of my team.
I was thinking of leaving the league and to go lower but I think I just might stay :) ... This division is way to good  :D
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: deca on October 03, 2012, 09:30:22 PM
Many thanks Guys,

Great to win 2-1-1 in such a strong league, where no match can be taken for granted. I honesly believe it's the strongest and toughest conference to win. It's always interesting and never dull because all matches are tough, and the teams at the bottom are quite capable of beating the teams at the top. So far better to stay in 2-1-1 and opt for a tough season, than drop down a league Kush!!!

It's been 11 seasons since I last won 2-1-1, back then the main person to beat was Big Nick and his mighty Anfield Reds..... :) :) :)..now there are I'd say half a dozen teams that are strong and capable of winning 2-1-1.

I honestly thought you were going to pip me Kush..... ;) ;) ;)

At last I get a shot at the champions shield next season..... ;D ;D ;D

Some newby strong teams being promoted so 2-1-1 will be even more competitive next season

All the best Deca!!!

Hi Martin

Yeah no pressure matey.  ;D

I know you'll do your best and I'll be willing you on but at the end of the day it's all about my game really. I can't rely on others, although it would help.  :P

And yes, congrats to you Deca on winning the league. Great stuff. To think in the good ol' days on Eurosport/Whatever the other one was called, I used to be quite good. What happened?  ??? ::)

Anyway delighted to say Martin had an amazing game last night - or rather his team did and I'm pleased to say I beat Spartak 1-0. Sorry Spartak but I needed a minimum of a draw, hence 523 :D

Well done to all those who stayed up and won stuff and comisserations to those who didn't make it. Hopefully see you back next season!    :P

Sorry Mihai I am really stuffed at work, not at home much. I'll try and get a mid season one together, but don't hold me to it! :D. My bogey teams well one of the many are the mighty Bayern Arse, who I happen to have next up in the league. ::)

Pies....Canadians have never caught onto the concept of pies, pasties or scotch eggs. I miss it.

Yes mate, I was looking for my usual defeat against you, however 3 points were very welcome,  :)thanks for calling me a legend, I suppose I am, I guess I've been playing this game, oh 10 years I would think, but gome are the days when I used to win it often, it's a struggle now just to stay in C2, it's as tough as Norwich staying in the Premier league, my team of course The Canaries, been supporting them many many years, why don't I use Norwich as my team name, well Spartak was a team I played for a long time ago.

Cheers.

Exact thing happened to me when I faced Brad in the league a week or 2 ago. Was lucky though as I set up formation etc before I left but had to use my default tactics which happily got me a point :)
Damn this league is is very tense and tight at the moment. 3 points separating the top 7. Need I say more?

I don't understand this game sometimes. Last night I needed a new goalkeeper, a new right striker and a central defender. I bid on all 3 knowing I would probably get them and indeed I did but instead of swapping like for like (ie goalkeeper for my old goalie, striker for my old striker etc) guess what the stupid game machine did? Put my new goalie where my right striker should have gone! My other one was AWOL so couldn't play that. Don't suppose for a moment it caused my defeat this morning against wizards but it sure didn't help! How ridiculous!!  :-[ >:(

Anyway my tactics were rubbish. Changed my mind at the last moment and cost me dearly. Oh well such is life. Well played sir.  ;D

It's the most competitive season in C2 by far ...  8)

It's definitely a tough one this season!

Long may it continue, might actually make me enjoy the game more having tough games every night
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: deca on November 06, 2012, 11:36:56 PM
Definitely the most competitive season yet, still almost half a season left, and any one of about 5 teams still in with a chance of winning the title, most teams lost quite a few but still in with a shout!!!

I think the difference with C2 is that there are lot's of teams capable of causing an upset......... ;D ;D ;D, probably most of the division..... ;D ;D ;D

It makes it more enjoyable, if it was too easy it wouldn't be much of a challenge.... ;) ;)

Let's hope the quality continues in C2 for many seasons to come

Good luck all

It's by far the most competitive league on here

Nice win Kush just wish it hadn't been a long ball game as my injuries wouldn't allow me to play 523 but I suspect your tactics would have beat me any way.

I'm just hoping for a top 4 next season as I think I've blown it this season but you never know in this league


Good Luck All Stato

I do agree you guys have the most competative conference but looking at our C8 compared to your C2 our top 12 are very similar, i would be really interested to see a tourney between our top 12 teams. not sure if it would fly but interesting idea. Im not sure if i could pick a winner...

Thanks for the vote of confidence Deca, that's me f*cked then !!!  ;) ;) ;)

You're right, it's well tight and the top 14 teams are all capable of a result at the moment - No way am I going to hang on, there's a long way to go and the majority are away games for me I think (7 out of 9)  :(

Shame I don't have the time (nor inclination?) to pay the same attention to my afternoon'ers either - including FLx games.

Anyway, game on - may the best team win :)

Good luck all.

I can honestly say after playing this game for over 10 years that I've never actually paid any notice of whether my fixtures are home or away,

I really dont think the match engine penalises or makes away matches tougher to win.

I still think you can hang on Wizards ( by your finger tips ).... :) :) :)

I think C8 have a very strong squad for the UCB and are the ones to beat.......The Borg, Jellys, Misfits, Burnaby (gulp!!!) , we'll need to be at our best to prevent them from winning their third consequetive title!!!

A clash between the top 8 from each of C2 & C8 would be interesting, but i think we'd win it if it was the top 8 teams!!

Cubana Villains
Wizards Sleeve
Univ. Craiov.
Hadoken
Steel City blades
Fc Town of Luton
Leeds Legends
Dynamo St Jude

Burnaby FC
Jellybellies
American Misfits
Realale Madrid
The Borg
Crystal City
Angel Rrrrs
Valleys Commandos

Let's get it on!!!

Cheers

Good luck all,

I'm out of luck this season though, I only have one right back defender, as the other is long term injured, problem is the right back I have is heavily declining.. :) :) :)

Big factor in me losing out in the Inter conference cup final  today, and will probably halt my progression in the Champions Shield, FL1 ( already done so ) and in retaining my C2 title. Hope it doesn't cause us to lose the UCB!!!

Can't as yet find a decent replacement on the transfer market, and one thing I wont do is buy sub-standard players.

But I'll keep battling on!!!

If another problem has been encountered delaying the message they posted a couple of days ago (as my other thread) why don't they just say so?

If they are merely forgetting to switch the server back on, well that's rather silly. surely they have remote access to the servers?

I think Romy meant that you changed your tactics after SL was recovered from the crush .... not keeping them as before ... and he lost (the match against you) playing fair play (keeping the same tactics) ...

Yes, Great performance Globus, I always feel that the team that loses the least matches deserves to win the title, and you've done that, and remained top most of the season in what is the toughest conference on SL1. You've definitely stepped up to the plate this season.

Was happy to get a point against you brad yesterday night playing 5-3-2 longball. Seems to me 5-3-2 quite a decent formation to play with. Now got my right striker who is out aswell.

Yes, I have no idea how I am in the top 4 at the moment. I've been thrashed a couple of times this season in the division. My strength at the moment is 745.
2-1-1 is not only the most competitive conference but it's really enjoyable at the same time.

I don't like complaining about results ar other things ... but I'm amazed how West Warriors (mullagh) plays the same tactics for 5 games and just before the game against my team he changes tactics.  And I stayed late last night (1:30 am) and until then he didn't entered online.
But that's the game and I should be warned from now on.

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Globus on January 09, 2013, 09:41:35 PM
Bit quiet in here these days chaps !!

Had a terrible result against Mihai last night.  I had a mind blank along with a dearth of defenders that made me stick with a 451 wings - didn't even consider a 433 long ball (that Mihai played).

Use wings only works against inferior oppo in my experience, don't usually like using it unless its a day game and I can't be arsed to setup a long ball game.

Either way, I would have been done because Mihai owned me on the AT's. Fully deserved.

Well played Mihai, looks like I'll have to concentrate on retaining 3rd spot - it's gonna be tough !!

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: mihai on January 09, 2013, 10:51:49 PM
thanks mate.
I've only played 4-3-3 because you played 4-5-1 use wings, if you would have played 4-3-3 I would have played 5-2-3.

in my experience 4-3-3 longball has a bit of advantage against 4-5-1 use wings, in rainy or snow conditions.

good luck you guys in UCB! hope you'll bring that title back home!

Post by: Stato1 on January 10, 2013, 01:57:16 PM
Looks a 2 horse race now with Mihai having the easier run in but Deca having a 2 point advantage but a worse GD it's going to be close

I was hoping to snatch 4th but my best central striker is out for 8 weeks so have to play my season 1 Striker unless I play 3-5-2

Will try and do well in the UCB but as usual lost my first game in it for some reason never seen to win my first game in a PL

Unlucky to Mihai for missing out but you also did brilliant to give Deca a good challenge so applauds for that.

I'm very happy to come 5th :) - Was expecting to come lower at the beginning of the season. I guess number 5 is my lucky number in 2-1-1 as this will be the 6th time I've come 5th. I'm happy to stay consistent though :)

Day 1 Results:

Cubana Villains   0 - 1    Wizards Sleeve FC (MOTD)
Queensway Town 0 - 31 Steel City Blades (Football League Show)
HaDoKeN F.C   1 - 0    Bayern Arse   
Leeds Legends   1 - 0    Dynamo St Jude  (MOTD 2 Red Button)   
Rocket Rangers   2 - 0    Tipton Tornadoes   
Real Kellyville   1 - 0    Betty Swollocks XI
White hart lane   0 - 2    HH Beticos
Portland Timbers   0 - 2    Tottenham Hotspurs

Current and reigning champions Cubana lose their first game at home to the Wizards in what was the match of the day. The Blades thrash newboys Queensway Town and were lucky to escape without any injuries due to the idiot putting on Physco. HaDoKeN edge out Bayern in what was a tight encounter thanks to an own goal by one of Wombles players. Stato's men also start strongly after beating Romy's Dynamo with the only goal coming in the last quarter of the match. New Boys Real Kellyville starts proper life in C2 with a comfortable 2-0 win against the Tiptons. New promoted side HH Beticos breezed past their ex 2-1-2 rivals White Hart Lane away from home. Finally Tottenham get back to winning ways thanks to 2 goals in each half against also newly promoted Portland Timbers.

Day 2 Fixtures with Predictions:

Cubana Villains   vs    HaDoKeN F.C ( 3-1)
Queensway Town   vs    Leeds Legends (0 - 26)   
Wizards Sleeve FC   vs    Bayern Arse (2-0)   
Steel City Blades   vs    Dynamo St Jude (2-0)   
Rocket Rangers   vs    White hart lane    (2-1)
Real Kellyville   vs    Portland Timbers (3-1)   
Tipton Tornadoes   vs    HH Beticos (1-0)   
Betty Swollocks XI   vs    Tottenham Hotspur (1-1)

Some dangerous looking games tonight which includes me taking on the mighty Deca. Can Stato's players survive injury tonight? We will have to wait and find out. Bayern and Dynamo will be looking to bounce back from yesterdays defeat but both face a very tough test in the Wizards and Blades respectively. The Kellyvilles will be looking to continue their 100% winning streak with a win tonight against White Hart Lane. Tipton Vs Beticos and Betty Vs Tottenham should be good games also as these teams know that they need to pick up as much points as possible if they are to stay in the conference.

Queensway Town played pansy last night against me so looks like he's targeting certain players on the down side he played Psycho against Brads no injuries and played pansy against me and took a player out for 8 weeks how does that work ??

Hi Guys,

Cubana Villains
Wizards Sleeve
Steel City Blades
Leeds Legends

1st reserve Hadoken

As reigning Conference Champ.........my choice is to let the 4 teams that won the UCB challenge again and win UCB 16

I'd like to pick Kush, but I think we should go with the same winning quartet.

It's strange, it was probably my worst UCB in terms of points won, but I think I'll do better next time..it's a team effort.

Cheers

Wizards Sleeve 2
Cubana Villains 5

Normal

Portland Timbers 1
Betty Swollocks 1

Pansy

Leeds Legends 1

It's a shame with so many competitive managers that enjoy this game and 99% of those play fairly, that there has to be the odd one out that spoils it for the others.

Cheers

I thought you were very unlucky with the amount of injuries you got that game with both going physco on a nutter ref. I'm in the exact same position tonight and I can't afford to have any injuries. My best mid is already out for a couple of weeks.
Also thought Dynamo were extremely unlucky to only win 6-0 especially with queensway only fielding 7 players.
It's a tight season and goal difference may be a big say at the end of the season.

Yep, it's always the first game scheduled and that's your friendly. The only way he will be banned for your FL1 game is if the team you're playing can't field 11 players and the game is suspended, that happened to Russ once. I'm sure more managers will confirm this before the game is played.

Some interesting results last night:

HaDoKeN F.C   2 - 0    Cubana Villains
Leeds Legends   17 - 0    Queensway Town
Bayern Arse   1 - 1    Wizards Sleeve FC
Dynamo St Jude   2 - 0    Steel City Blades
White hart lane   0 - 0    Rocket Rangers   
Portland Timbers   0 - 1    Real Kellyville
HH Beticos   0 - 0    Tipton Tornadoes
Tottenham Hotspur   1 - 2    Betty Swollocks XI

Hadoken gets his revenge on Deca with a crucial 2-0 win to stay in with a chance of of a top 4 position. Stato shows Queensway Town how it's done with a thumping. Steel City finally lose a game after being taken out by the dangerous Dynamo. Wizards couldnt't hold on to the lead nor the 3 points thanks to Bayern scoring an equaliser 11minutes from time. The Rockets could only see a stalemate against White Hart Lane as they are trying to push for a top 8 finish. New Boys Real Kellyville still doing really good and got all 3 points yesterday thanks to a penalty on the 21st minute which was converted. Tipton were unable to get the 3 points they needed against Betico's as they are fighting to get out of the relegation zone. Finally Betty's keep their dream of a top 8 finish with an ICC position intact after managing to put away Tottenham.

Squad rotation is the key. That's why I most of the times use subs. So when things like these happen my 2nd team players will still have some gelling with them.
In my opinion and with my experience, I believe that gelling is a very important factor and some managers may under estimate this.

Good luck though Deca, bring some silverware back to C2 :D

Congrats Brad on yet another 2-1-1 title.
You dominated this season and noone was able to take you down.
I got you soon so hopefully you can go easy on me :p

I'm pissed aswell since my game yesterday against Queenaway got postponed and I only got a 3-0 win. That just might have screwed me from going any higher due to goal difference.

Well done Brads,

Well deserved Title, Couldn't even get close to challenging this season.

I'm confident the quartet we have that won UCB 15 will win UCB 16... ;) ;)

Kush, you are lucky your game against the Queensway psycho was void, otherwise he would of taken half your team out... :) :)

True Deca but now because of that I am severely behind Stato and Wiz on goal difference. a 15+-0 would have helped a lot.
Even in our last game they didn't even opt to play physco on me.
Oh well though I am just going to have to do it the hard way :p

My form has been a bit hit and miss over the least season and this season,

I'm always ready to step up to the plate for C2, on the plus my team is very strong 804, and I'll win more than I lose but the decision lies with Brads as Captain,

We'll definitely have 4 strong teams, that is why C2 is very competitive and to me the hardest conference to win

Cheers

Well as captain I suppose I'm in  :P

And wiz have been consistently good so they're in

Deca's had a good start this season and his team is far too good to sit and watch!

So that leaves me torn between stato and davo for the last spot, shame we can't have more than 4!

I might have to toss a coin  ;D
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO

I think you should give it to stato. Runner up last season. If I hadn't kicked is a**e in the first game of the season, he could have been in 2nd place now. His team has better stats than mine and he has proved himself in tough PLs - skipping through to FL1 with no problems (I'm in season 30 and I still haven't made it to FL1).

Up to you though. As I said I am more than willing to play.

In my last 4 league games i have had at least 45 mins TA in each game, and managed to score 0 goals. Latest game, 60 v 30 TA results in a 1-0 loss, striker with 99% shooting misses a penalty. I can only be suffering from having a poor team strength which is pretty frustrating

As Deca said there will be a lot of teams on your nuts next season so best of luck for that!
Looks like I came 5th ONCE AGAIN lol. that's now 8 times.... Should place a bet on myself to come 5th again next season!

Also unlucky to Deca for losing out in the EC finals and bringing the cup back to 2-1-1. Always next season guys!

Good game Deca. Wasn't expecting to take the 3 points there.

If I were you I would pick an injured left midfielder (it's only a mild concussion), because match engine tends to penalise more players out of position.

LOL I've got more chance of knocking out Wladimir Klitschko I've got my 2 season 9 central defenders out so that leaves me with just 4 players who aren't season 1.

As for next seasons UCB team if I win its going to be

Bedwell Comrades
Castleford Tornadoes
White Hart Lane

As there the only teams that I can beat on a regular basis

To be honest I was pretty harsh with that statement. I forgot that 5-2-3 longball is still worth while in passing conditions however I wouldn't have been surprised if you had conceded a few goals and lost like 3-0

The problem is not that I did not win, as such, because changes in ATs if I had scored may have affected the outcome. Being up on ATs for 75 mins, playing the agreed best formation for the conditions, with a reasonable squad, each with 100% gelling and all players in their correct positions - I should have scored. Whether this ultimately ended up in AT changes that resulted in me losing is not the point.

Yeah fair enough you should have definitely scored in the first half. Your team strength is better than mine as well. The game can be weird. Compare that with my game last night, where I had the exact same first 11 and formation, lost the tactics for just 15 mins and managed to concede.

You definitely set up your tactics last time. I don't understand what the point in lying is when you claim you have nothing to play for. Whilst some others admitted defeat you just blamed it on 'forgot to set up my tactics'. It's not your fault, its catgames error but i dont see the point in lying. I know it is uncommon for me to get a result against one of the big boys in this league but i don't need to rely on them not turning up. I was silly to leave my tactics the exact same
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO

It's not a lie, I never got around to set my ATs the first time. My ATs were clean before setting them last night. I wasn't trying to make excuses for my first loss, I was just glad to have been able to set up. Without the rollback I probably just would have taken the opportunity to quit, because there was a great number of games I didn't bother to set up on afterwards. And I honestly don't want to give up all those games again just to be a good sport. If it was for the league title I definitely would have, but not for a game I was pissed off for not setting up in the first place.

To be fair to the rest of C2... I just got here from C3. ::) :-[

I fully realise the fair thing would have been taking responsibility for not showing up when my opponents did, it's not like I'm trying to justify it. I just don't like being accused of being a liar. It just so happened that bunch of games I didn't have an opportunity to set up (and later bothered out of frustration due to the glitch putting half of my team out of business) are getting replayed, and it boiled down to whether I wanted to be fair and done with this game or a douche and still somewhat enjoy logging in.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: davo on June 01, 2013, 06:52:10 AM
Everyone is entitled to play the game as they wish to. There is absolutely no requirement to throw a game just because the server was rolled back and the game was replayed. I let Kush beat me for many reasons.

Firstly: We both set our teams up and had what I considered to be a fair game. The stupid match engine did gave a reasonable result.

Secondly: My team is languishing in mid-table so I am not in danger of relegation and am pretty unlikely to make it into the TCL next season.

Thirdly: Bearing in mind number 2, and the fact that Kush may have ended up beating me if I had not thrown the game, it was a cheap way of making myself look like a decent bloke.

Lastly: It's just a game.

People complain when there has been a blatant travesty with how the match engine interprets the game, but nobody ever says that, due to the injustice, they will throw the return game. It's hardly any different if the game throws somebody up a bit of luck once in a while.

In different circumstances I would have told Kush I was redoing my tactics.

I do feel sorry for sdepiano1 because, regardless of how the result happened, it was a good scalp. But to be honest, any team that gets relegated in a division with 2 CPU teams can't really have cause to complain, regardless of being "docked" 3 points. I don't think sdepiano1will have any worried. It is more likely that it could stuff up his chances of an ICC spot.

I geniunely did think you set up the first time based on the fact that the games you didn't set up the day after you got slaughtered by 5+ goals. I can't be sure though and for that I do apologise if I have wrongly accused you.

Bugger. Now it is not going to be fair to Kush because he won't be changing his tactics if the games are played today (15 mins from now).

So, I am going to look like a complete tool if I set up 90mins Attack on the assumption that Kush plays 90 mins of defence to counter my previous tactic of 90 mins CA.

I think the fairest thing I can do, all things considered, it to play 90 mins of Def  in case the game is played today - that way we both get a chance.

Thanks CG for giving me us 5 hours notice that the server was going to be restarted and the games played.

I just hope that sdepiano1 wins his game  ;)

Got your tactics right once again my friend! Well done.
I'd be very surprised if you didn't go on to win another titlle this season. I don't believe anyone has got 1st place 3 seasons on the trot since the mighty bignick.

Looks like me and Chiii are battling for that 4th spot. I've still got Stato and Chii left from the top 5 so hoping to cause some upsets. Not to mention still have some tough games against the current mid/lower table teams.

There might even be some fresh new blood coming soon to 2-1-1 aswell. That's if a team takes the CPU team next season in 2-1-2. I would also like to see Mihai back in 2-1-1 soon. Seems he is dominating 5-1-1 every season and always seems to be a 2 horse race with the Casadians. I'm sure that wouldn't be the case in 2-1-1  ;D

I've been even thinking that I should start a fresh challenge somewhere else but I love 2-1-1 just to much. I would like to stay in 2-1-1 for atleast another 4 seasons and hit that 20 seasons completed mark in 2-1-1 which I think would be a personal achievement for myself. Also I've been dying to get to a major final but just can't seem to do it :( I've been to the Semi's in the ICC, EC and CS but would like to take it a step further. Any tips from the top manager will be appreciated  8)

I wish I could help your major problem kush but I've only been in 2 finals myself (got into my 3rd this season) was fortunate enough to win them both.

Hope I can get a 3rd on the trot I'll make sure to mention it to nick on sl2 if I do  :)

Many congrats on your 3rd Major and 2nd ICC title Brad. Hopefully you can bring the CS to Conference 2 this season to! :D

And well done for a great finish in the UCB guys we were 23 points behind at one point so to get it back to 4 points was some achievement and to get the runners up spot

Good effort Globus!

I've replaced about 3/4 in the last season so I'm down at 776

Think I was around 792 last season
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Globus on June 13, 2013, 08:40:20 PM
A funny thing I noticed though - and probably right - but when I changed my default 1st XI from 5-2-3 to 4-5-1 my keeper stats dropped a point.

I assume the keeper stats is an average of all players in the XI rather than a study of just your keeper in that XI.

Had never realised that before.  Bit harsh really as who gives a toss how well your other players can GK, if anyone other than a GK ends up in goal you're fecked anyway :)

779 me....... :-[ :-[ :-[

My record last season was 808 until replacements needed, I'll be trying to beat that figure though.
Even with those stats I couldn't win much..... ;D ;D ;D

I say full credit to the match engine as there was a time that you could win matches with bad tactics against decent teams as long as team stats were sky high..... ;) ;) ;)

Cheers

Another chance against Lighwater United? I lost fair and square so It's only fair that if we have to rematch, Lightwater should win again. I won't be changing tactics if there is a rematch.
Even if I win the final 2 games it would be highly unlikely I will make the top 64. I was 75th and I lost yesterday so probably went down to 100-110th place. A Miracle will be needed.

Just pissed off mate, I lost my original game against Lighwater United so being the nice person that i am, i let him get the 3 points again. I assumed other managers would do the same but I was mistaken. So now for this I have gone down to 5th place and this may cost me a place in the UCB and TCL next season. Not to mention missing out on a EC position aswell.

Oh well though nevermind, one learns from his mistakes.

I agree about all the crap going on. But are we making it worse? The games that are being replayed. We either all agree that the first result stands and you don't offer up opposition for the replay or that the first result does not stand and the game is being played again by all Teams. So the result could change. We are either all in or we are all out. It's no good some Teams laying down while others offer no quarter. It just skews what the table should look like. :o ::) 8)

Sorry about that mate but I did say:

Anyway.....When the next rollback(s) happen I will be setting up my teams to try and win (probably spectacularly failing to do so, but that is a different story). So if you beat me, and we have to replay the game, too bad.

On the plus side, I still have a chance of the ICC instead of finishing 12th like I did at the end of the season the 1st time around. I also have a slim chance of winning FL3 instead of finishing 3rd....

Yeah it's fine. I did remember your message from earlier so was expecting a different game. It's CGs fault for offering such a crap service. I'll probably get to replay you anyway when the server hits more problems this weekend

Just to show how strong this league is:

Five teams currently in FL1: Steel City Blades, Cubana Villians, Leeds Legends, Colour City and UNIV.CRAIOVA
Three teams currently in FL2: HaDoKeN F.C, Lightwater United and newly promoted Real Kellyville.

Would have been 6 teams in FL1 but just missed out on promotion last season ending up 4th  :(

Some facts aswell for the fun of it:
Steel City Blades, Cubana Villians, Colour City, UNIV.CRAIOVA and HaDoKeN F.C have all won 2-1-1 before.
I also believe all teams except me have also won FL1 at some point. HaDoKeN best place is runner up in FL1 on my debut season  8)

Current CS Champion: Steel City Blades
Current ICC Champion: Steel City Blades
Current TCL Champion: Cubana Villians

And this morning I'm totally gutted! Own stupid fault.

Things were looking rosy, although admittedly still very early days but I'd won my first 2 games (1-0 a piece), had won my ICC first round and was sitting 3rd on MT 2 points behind the joint leaders and 3rd in the friendly table. Reminded me of a great season I had back on the old server when I won everything in one season except the Challenge Shield in which I placed runner up so after all that ...

C R A S H ! !  :(

Dozed off in Big Brother at 10.10pm last night and woke at 4.20am dreading what might have been and yes, had lost 3-0 to Spartak. No disrespect to him but to loose without even putting up a fight ... gutted. Crashed down to 7th place in the division now. Not looked closely yet. Don't have the heart. 6.50am (almost) and still kicking myself. What a stupid SOB I am ... sometimes my own worst enemy and was SO hoping to be in contention this season. Oh well.

So once bitten, twice shy. That ain't gonna happen again. I'll be setting up my alarm clock from now on and just have to hope I can claw my way back up again.  :P

Got bored of the name to be honest.
If I do bad this season overall I'll probably change it back. So far so good though, just beat the borg quite comfortably in the ICC and still unbeaten yet in the league.

By the way guys just saw C4 doing a private tournament.. I'm thinking us C2 guys can do the same? Anyone from conference 2 as a whole can join up and not just teams from 2-1-1. Main aim of this is to increase banter and spice up things in C2 :)

First come first serve and sign up below. Hopefully we will be able to get 16 teams?
The Borg will be able to change some of the details such as entry fee etc.

Entry fee: 200 credits
Prize fund: 1,600 credits

Sign up sheet:
1) Kushberry F.C

Ok guys we have a full list  ;D
 
I have created the PL and I have messaged The Borg to reduce entry fee to 200 credits.
At the moment I've set it up to once every 3 days. If you want every 7 days I will change so let me know. No point doing everyday.

Will be doing the draw soon.  Since I've created the competition I will put myself as first in the draw.

I will send out the password etc when Borg has changed the details.
So were going to have to do this in order so DidierDrogbaFanClub will join up first then he will send password to The Marshalls then to Betty Swollocks and so on.

Hopefully it won't take more than 3 days to get this started.

I'm not sure how you do it?

5 points splitting 3rd to 14th place! Good stuff
Yeah it's very tight ... as the bishop said to the actr ... erm never mind that.  ;D

Please may I ask you and anyone else who has 'recently' joined us to kindly put your team(s) in your sig? Nice to know which teams people are running. For the 'regulars' I pretty much know/remember but not all and saves having to keep clicking through everyone to check.  :P

If anyone really doesn't want to that's cool. Just a friendly request that's all ... but if anyone doesn't, just by way of some friendly encouragement, I'll be sending the stewards amongst you ... with rawhide whips!  ;D
Top of the page, left hand side - profile. Look for sig and put it in there.  :D

I will send out the password etc when Borg has changed the details.
So were going to have to do this in order so DidierDrogbaFanClub will join up first then he will send password to The Marshalls then to Betty Swollocks and so on.

Hopefully it won't take more than 3 days to get this started.

Also will be doing reviews and match reports in order to make things more spicy and increase banter  8)

So when I receive it, I pass it on to Betticos, do I?  :-\

Just so I know - oh and for the record, I'm happy to play every 3 days, although if it were once a week (7 days), I'd be fine with that too. Up to the majority I guess. :)

Well you set it up then stato and that wont be an issue  :P

Lol I knew was going to say that I won't mention your just above the relegation zone

Stato

I take it all back mate. Playing Spartak today you were 86 minutes down on ATs, playing 5-2-3 longball/nutter in hot weather with no ref, against 4-5-1 passing/normal - and you still won  :o You must be an SL genius...

Interestingly Spartak beat me earlier in the season (admittedly with much superior ATs) when they played 4-5-1 wings against my 5-2-3 longball in the rain....

I really don't understand the logic behind these two outcomes when looked at together.

Anyway, I beat the defending champions 4-0 so I am a happy bunny today  ;D

At the half way stage at the bottom Betty Swollocks looked doomed then it looks like 4 teams for the other 3 places.

In the middle the teams from 5th to 11th are separated by just 6 points while 6th to 11th just 3 points

At the top it's looking like a 4 horse race for the title as there's only 4 points covering the top 4 at the minute so it's all to play for

Good Luck All Stato

Yes Mihai I feel I should have won quite easily there as my team isn't that weak but as you said you have a very strong team and that saved your ass  ;) This is why I also play with 4-3-3 when playing against big teams so that If I do have the advantage I reckon it would be easier to score with 4-3-3 then 5-2-3 but not this time.
Another tough tough game tonight against Stato. Got the 3 points in the first game when I don't know how ...... I'm sure revenge will be on the table. I don't want any more draws . . .

Post by: captain_kush on August 04, 2013, 09:36:44 PM
Kushberry F.C vs DidierDrogbaFanClub

Both teams have had mixed emotions so far in 2-1-1. For starters I'm sure both managers would have preferred less draws with more wins. Kushberry have slowly and gradually gone up to the top half of the table whilst DidierDrogbaFanClub started very promising but have slowly gone down the pecking order. Both teams have met only once this season earlier in the league and saw Kush's men winning comfortably 3-0. My prediction is for myself to win 2-1 :)

The Marshalls vs Betty Swollocks XI

Betty Swollocks will be hoping for a good run in this seasons 2-1-1 cup as they are currently slumped at the bottom of 2-1-1 with only just 1 win so far this season which came last night. The Marshalls are a new side with all season 1 players and are currently 2nd in 2-1-3 behind the also new Brazilian Piggys. Neither side have met at all this season in any competition but I'm sure The Marshalls will be trying their very best to cause an upset here but I can't really see this. My prediction is 4-1 to the Swollocks.

Spartak vs Lightwater United

An interesting game here sees Spartak host Lightwater United. Spartak will be hoping to bring the good form they had in the beginning of the season to this game. Lightwater United have been playing some good football this season and I'm sure Salv will try and repeat the 1-0 victory against Spartak which occured earlier in the season. Spartak on his day can cause major upsets but I'm going for a 2-1 victory to Lightwater United. 

Cubana Villians vs Real Kellyville

Current division leaders Cubana host Real Kellyville in what should be an entertaining match for sure. Deca's team looking very strong as usual and Real Kellyville will have to pull something out of the bag if they are going to go to the next round. This is due to them losing some important players and having to replace. Recently Davo has turned to 5-2-3 longball in any condition and it has worked quite well so far. Perhaps it could work again? In the divison game, Deca managed to thrash Davo 5-0 but I'm sure this time the result won't be as embarrassing. My prediction goes to the Villians to win 2-0
 
Steel City Blades vs Bayern Arse

Current 2-1-1 champions have had mixed emotions this season. After starting the campaign so well their spell started to decline as of recent and for this The Steels are currently in a disappointing 7th position in the league. Arguably I could say the same thing to Womble's Bayern Arse who have also been up and down this season. Womble has managed to cause some upsets this season by even beating Brad 2-0 in their first encounter this season in 2-1-1 but unfortunately for them they haven't been consistent this season. I reckon this game will go down to the wire  and a team will win by an extra time goal. My prediction is 1-1 after 90 minutes.

UNIV CRAIOVA vs Leeds Legends

We welcome back UNIV to 2-1-1 after a couple of seasons break but unfortunatley for them, they have been drawn against Stato's mighty Legends. Some may say that Stato's team has declined but results and performance this season say otherwise. Sitting 3rd and only losing to 2 teams this season, I'm sure Stato will be pulling and trying his best in order to capture his first 2-1-1 crown but on the other hand UNIV have been causing trouble this season. Mihai will be dissapointed that he isn't currently first in the league after dropping a few points as of late but I'm sure will be looking for revenge as Stato was able to get the upper hand during their first meeting in 2-1-1 this season. Other then the league these 2 have also met in FL1 recently and that ended in a bore draw. I'm going for a 1-0 win to Stato.

Tottenham Hotspurs vs HH Beticos

Perhaps the surprise team of 2-1-1 this season Tottenham Hotspur have been playing some really good football this season. I'm sure before the season started some may have said that Nick's team will be fighting to stay up this season but it's looking like Nick is trying to fight for atleast a top 8 finish and emulating what he managed to do last season. HH Beticos started poorly but have managed to get themselves out of the relegation places and will be trying to stay out for the remainder of the season. HH Beticos are more than able to cause upsets in this division and I'm sure if they continue their recent good form, we will for sure be seeing them here next season. HH Beticos were able to get the better of Spurs in the league with a 1-0 win however they have met again a further 2 times in friendly games and Nick winning both. I'm going for a 2-1 Spurs.

Brazilian Piggys vs Colour City

RJ has opted to come back to SL1 and is currently in 2-1-3 training his young boys. They currently sit first in their league and look like they will be in 2-1-1 in no time. A team to watch for in the future. Colour City will be hoping to perform better this season than lasts and at the very moment they are doing exactly that. Currently sitting 3rd in the league and 2 points behind 1st, Chiiiiiiiiiiiii will be hoping to add another 2-1-1 title in his cabinet. It will be the first time this season both teams will meet and for my prediction I'm going to say 3-1 to Chiiii due to their superior team strength difference.



Odds for teams to win C2 Cup:

Cubana Villians 2/1
Steel City Blades 3/1
Colour City 7/2
Leeds Legends 4/1
UNIV CRAIOVA 5/1
Kushberry F.C 13/2
Lightwater United 7/1
Bayern Arse 10/1
Real Kellyville 14/1
Tottenham Hotspur 20/1
Spartak 25/1
HH Beticos 30/1
DidierDrogbaFanClub 32/1
Betty Swollocks XI 35/1
Brazilian Piggys 40/1
The Marshalls 100/1

I'm sure before the season started some may have said that Nick's team will be fighting to stay up this season but it's looking like Nick is trying to fight for atleast a top 8 finish and emulating what he managed to do last season. HH Beticos started poorly but have managed to get themselves out of the relegation places and will be trying to stay out for the remainder of the season. HH Beticos are more than able to cause upsets in this division and I'm sure if they continue their recent good form, we will for sure be seeing them here next season. HH Beticos were able to get the better of Spurs in the league with a 1-0 win however they have met again a further 2 times in friendly games and Nick winning both. I'm going for a 2-1 Spurs.
Great write-up Kush. Really miss those great write-ups we used to have from Steve was it? Well anyway thanks for those nice comments and yes I'm fighting hard. Spurs' problem is that I find it so hard to score in division games for some strange reason, although I seem to do ok in friendlies and other cups. Your prediction was pretty close as I managed a 2-0 win yesterday (Tuesday). Strange that the results aren't showing up in the private cup game area yet though but I guess it might once this morning's games have been played and processed. We'll see. :)

As you rightly said, Beticos got me with an 84th minute goal in the division a few days ago - felt a draw would have been a fairer result, although to my chagrin I did play some rather negative (safe?) ATs and because of the late goal, never had a chance to try to pull it back. Dem's da breaks I guess. :)

But yes, going to be in there fighting. Already had a couple of 'shockers' this season which I was proud/pleased about such as beating Chiii in the first game of the season then holding him to a draw in the second plus beat a few others who can remain nameless to hide their shame!  ;D

C2 Round 1 Match Report;

Kushberry F.C 3 - 0 DidierDrogaFanClub

Both teams started brightly in this game but it was the home side who took advantage after 25minutes thanks to a unstoppable effort from 20 yards courtesy of striker O.G Kush. Both teams went attacking straight after the half time K.O and there was that man again O.G Kush this time with a amazing lob from an acute angle to make the game 2-0 and all but over after 47minutes. Kushberry added more misery to Steven's team by making it 3-0 after 81minutes thanks to Kali Mist Haze.

The Marshalls   0 - 3    Betty Swollocks XI

It was always going to be tough for The Marshalls to come out on top and unfortunately for them they didn't. The Marshalls opted to play a 4-3-3 passing in windy conditions and that was probably their downfall. Betty Swollock's Shelly Smit put the visitors ahead after 21minutes thanks a belter from the halfway line. Marshalls then tactically dominated the game up until 60minutes but couldn't find an equaliser. The Betty's managed to counter The Marshalls in the last 3rd and Rick Dash made it all but over making it 2-0  at 66minutes and just to add more misery, Shelly Smit was able to get his brace with another goal 1minute from time. A dominate display by The Betty's.
Overall tactics: The Marshalls 39mins
                       Betty Swollocks XI 51mins

Spartak   0 - 3    Lightwater United

Salv's Lightwater United came out winners here quite comfortably. Lightwater United started the better of the two after defending to Spartak's counter until they went themselves to counter after 30minutes. The deadlock was finally broken after 50minutes thanks to a belter from Salv De Piano. Things got worse for Spartak as they were reduced to 10 men after David Fox was given his 2nd yellow of the evening and was sent of just 9minutes after the break. Lightwater United took advantage of this and turned attacking mode and this easily paid of as they doubled their lead on 69minutes thanks to massive strike from De Piano once again. Lightwater were still attacking and things got worse for Spartak as they conceded a 3rd late in the game.
Overall tactics: Spartak 0mins
                      Lightwater United 55mins

Cubana Villains   3 - 0    Real Kellyville

Another 3-0 scoreline here and this game saw the current favourites Cubana Villians dispatch Real Kellyville. Not much was happening in the first 15minutes however it looked like Deca's men were able to settle in to the game first after they were able to break the deadlock on 27minutes thanks to Oma Romanos. Both teams came out strong in the second half and Real Kellyville were desperate to find an equaliser but a wrong tactic set by Davo saw them slip another 2 goals in the last 3rd. Deca was able to counter Davo's attack and score another 2 goals (Rocki Di Santos 60, Oma Romanas 76)  to make the result an establishing 3-0.
Overall tactics: Cubana Villians 60mins
                       Real Kellyville 15mins

Steel City Blades   2 - 0    Bayern Arse

The Steels unconvincingly booked themselves a place in the quarter finals courtesy of winning 2-0 at home. In frozen conditions it was the away team who started the better and might say were unlucky to score a goal in the 1st half but hey thats 5-2-3 longball for you. Brad was able to get his composure back in the 2nd half and this paid of after they were able to get the 1st goal of the game on 58mins in where Aaron Thetires 97.3 couldn't miss a volley from 10 yards out. Bayern went straight to attacking mode but Brad was able to counter and capitalize and got their 2nd goal on 73minutes from Dwayne Pipes who somehow scored a Roberto Carlos type goal from a corner.
Overall tactics: Steel City Blades 15mins
                       Bayern Arse 47mins

UNIV. CRAIOVA   1 - 2    Leeds Legends

In what was surely the match of the round it was Stato's men who were able to book a place in the quarter finals. In what was in continental conditions, UNIV used the usual 4-5-1 whereas Leeds Legends opted to use a 5-2-3 longball. Stato's team were dominating the game as soon as the ball was kicked of and deservedly went ahead after 30minutes thanks to a goal from John Charles89.3-9. Both teams went on the attacking after the break and UNIV needed to do something in order to score a goal. Mihai changed tactic at 60minutes to defence thinking this could help but Leeds Legends attacking was simply to much and they doubled their lead after 60minutes. Things were looking out of the blue for Mihai's side but out of nowhere Draco Malfoy was able to do some magic and get 1 back in the final stages of the game but it was to late.
Overall tactics: UNIV. CRAIOVA 15mins
                       Leeds Legends 45mins

Tottenham Hotspur   2 - 0    HH Beticos

Tottenham Hotspur managed to  keep their good form up after comfortably dispatching HH Beticos by 2 goals to 0. Nick's team by far started the better and scored the opening goal after 24mins thanks to a great volley from Barb Dwyer. Both teams went on the defence mode after this and for this the pace of the game slowly deteriorated. No real threat came from any team and for this, HH Beticos changed things up and turned to counter on 60minutes but it was Nick's team who was able to penetrate and his team doubled the lead and made it all but game over after 74mins.
Overall tactics: Tottenham Hotspur 60mins
                      HH Beticos 0mins

Brazilian Piggys   0 - 1    Colour City

New boys Brazilian Piggys certainly put a brave performance today and did all they could do but it was Chiiiiii's Colour City who were able to get the only goal of the game and win it. Both teams started the game by defending and things were getting intense. Repeated fouling by RJ's Dan Geruss earnt him a yellow card in the first 24mins. Things didn't change until after the break when Chiiii opted to attack The Piggys and this worked out after success finally came to them thanks to Wise Jacobs pin point accuracy shot in the 66th minute. RJ than went on attack himself but nothing really dematerialized. All hope was lost after 85mins when referee Butch Gravelneck sent of RJ's centre mid Leo Tarrad.
Overall tactics: Brazillian Piggys 15mins

Quarter Final Fixtures:

Kushberry F.C   vs    Betty Swollocks XI

Kush's Kushberry F.C will be favourites here to book themselves a place in the semi final but the underdogs will be hoping to ruin their night.

Odds: Kushberry F.C 2/1    Draw: 13/8    Betty Swollocks XI 6/1

Lightwater United   vs    Cubana Villains

Both teams playing very good football this season. Lightwater United are very strong this season and have been proving the doubters but Cubana Villians are the slight favourites.

Odds: Lightwater United 3/1  Draw 9/4  Cubana Villians 3/2

Steel City Blades   vs    Tottenham Hotspur

Brad will be hoping to improve his performance and will surely need to if they are to beat Tottenham Hotspurs who are no light pushers.

Odds: Steel City Blades 3/2   Draw 7/2  Tottenham Hotspur 4/1

Leeds Legends   vs    Colour City

In what will be the match of the round, Stato will have to do it all over again and try to beat another heavyweight to reach the semi finals. Chiii has been on a role recently so this should be a classic.

Odds: Leeds Legends 2/1  Draw 3/1  Colour City 3/2

Another fascinating/interesting write-up there Kush. Brilliant! Keep it up, this is great!  ;D

As for my match with Blades, should be a fascinating encounter as you say. I guess Brad's 3/2, or 6/4 as we used to call it in the bookies ( :P) refelects his home advantage but I have to say I wouldn't mind a bit of that 4/1 for me to win!!  ;D

You're absolutely right, no push overs this season - I'm out for the kill so be warned!  :D :P

I'd put you down as favourite tonight mate,

Unfortunately for me I'm having to play a defender out of position, so that will count aganst me.

ps Well Done to Lightwater for knocking me out the CL 2 cup today too,,,,,,, :) :) :)

But I'm tipping Stato to win the cup..... ;) ;) ;), although it wouldn't surprise me if Brads or Kush won it, or even Lighwater.... ;D ;D ;D

Yes mate you can but he will be banned from your friendly game unless you had a PL that started before you organised your friendly games for this season.

Well done Stato for winning this seasons 2-1-1 Cup. Thoroughly deserved as you had some immense draws every round. Feel a bit hard down by in the final result but congrats nevertheless. Sorry wasn't able to do any more reviews as I've been quite busy recently.
Getting quite tight in the league aswell with only 5 points separating the top 6. I reckon any team from the top 6 could win C2 this season.

You never know mate. Thankfully I've got most of the bottom half of the teams to play with the only exception being Mihai at the end of the season. I'm hoping I can grab some vital wins and allow dropping points thanks to draws/loses. Going to be tough but I'm also hoping for a top 4 finish.

Thank you kindly. I hope I can get an ICC place. That would be great. Doing a bit better in the friendly table at the moment. Only 3 undefeated teams at the moment, including myself and Mihai  :P

Had some bad luck a couple of games ago. Had a really weak team so was hoping for a nice goal haul of 20+ but that all went pear shaped because over half his team were AWOL or banned, so the match was called off and all I got was a lousy t-shirt and 3 miserable goals. Could have been so much better if he hadn't had quite so many players out but dem's da breaks I guess, as the saying goes.  ;D

Anyway still in there fighting and hoping for a few easier games in the friendlies soon. At least I find it easier scoring goals in the friendlies a bit easier than I seem to do in the league, despite having a pretty strong team I think but hey ho, all adds up to the fun I guess. :)

Good luck for the rest of the friendly season, Mihai. I presume you have a full schedule? Not checked up on that yet but I'm assuming so. Oh well fingers crossed. I can only do my best, nothing more so I'll be in there fighting till the bitter end.  ;) :D

I lost 7-1-1 last season due to the roll back, having won it, , and looks like it's going to happen again..... ;D ;D ;D

I've been away on holiday in Switzerland, so had to risk putting both teams on holiday mode, and thanks to Chii for the offer of team sitting.

Not too bad, although I dont know if my league position in 2-1-1 was better before the roll back.... :D :D

I'm not even going to bother to discuss where I would have been if there was no rollback but I certainly wouldn't be were I am at the moment..... Grrrrrrrr.

I'm going for Colour City to win it.

I may have to do the same thing also but I'm perhaps going to anoher X-1-1 conference. I might seek a new challenge as Conference 2 is way to stressful to take in especially with rollbacks and recent problems.... Don't want to go on another rant  8) ... Or perhaps I might just stay on.

Stay put Kush,

You are one of a handful of teams always in with a chance of winning 2-1-1.

I got my hands on a striker before the rollback and were going to try 3-2-5 again next season, but lost him in the rollback and got my hands on two midfielders instead.. Will have to put that project on hold. ;D

But I'm fairly certain all my league titles have been during my 5-2-3 periods, so I don't know why I still bother using anything else. ::) ;D

Hi Guys. I was away Saturday to Tuesday so I'd set up in advance. Meant I wasn't able to change nice rest/rehab and ended up with one of my strikers injured which didn't help but hey ho, at least I finished 8th which all things considered I suppose wasn't too bad. I didn't trust using holiday mode and not sure it would have replaced my injured striker anyway?  :-\

Anyway congrats Chiii ... or by the look of it now Chili ... does that mean you're hot now?!  ;D :P

Now we're between seasons, any news on another C2? I see C4 have already started registering. Have to say I enjoyed the last one.  :D

Will miss the competition on 2-1-1, easily the strongest conference on the server, but not having too much time like I did in days gone past to do my research and set up tactics after my homework.

I'm sure 2-1-1 will still be a big favourite for the UCB without me, this conference is strong all through.

looking forward to my first game this season - A 5-2-3 battle in the sun with a hard pitch and Buster Jones refereeing vs Stato who will undoubtedly play psycho for 90 mins. No doubt I will lose half of my team to injury - at least it will stop me thinking that I might actually make some kind of challenge to the 2-1-1 title for once.

Still mustn't grumble, I admit I used to do that some seasons ago, not that it worked much but my own fault for not checking up before I went to bed - not that it might have made any difference. :)

Can't remember if I'm honest Nick but I do remember setting to CA if i wasn't winning by half time.

Actually I do remember now my tactics were:
Started on ATT
exactly after 30 go to DEF, if not winning HT go to CA, Exactly after 60 ATT and if not losing after 75 DEF/aggression normal.

No, I meant when I set up about 1am (I think it was) your starting stats showed you playing CA, same as me. By the time it kicked off, you were playing attack (yes, not def as I mistakenly said) so you must have changed it some time between when I went to bed and 3am when the game kicked off. Talking basic tactics (the ones for your opponent which you can see) not ATs which obviously I couldn't see. :)

Haha but knowing the match engine and your luck against me the probability of you scoring in the last minutes of the game would have been so much lower if it weren't for that scenario.

Good game Brad. Would have preferred to beat you in 2-1-1 rather then in FL1 but doesn't always go to plan.
Funny how both results were 1-0 and both of the goals were scored on the 75th minute.

Thanks Mihai I wasn't expecting it as I had to play 4-5-1 for the first time in 3 seasons as I had 4 Awols

You have the slight easier run in but I'm on form at the minute having won my last 9 and unbeaten in 15 since you beat me

My next two games are the hardest having to play Real Kellyville and Lightwater if I'm still in contention after them two I've got a chance

Good Luck Stato

I wouldn't say that, mate! It brought me to the EC finals and got me 2nd place in FL1. My midfield wasn't nearly as strong as I'd hoped it would be at the beginning of the season, but I feel I've brought it back as much as I could. ;D All things considered, I've quite happy with 2-5-3 (I'll go as far as claiming it's the best passing formation and its main downfall is that it doesn't synergize well with 5-2-3, but 2-5-3 Longball is decent enough). :)

On a related note, what's going on with the Steel City Blades? :o
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: mihai on January 26, 2014, 11:20:47 PM
I think Brads is awol for past 2-3 weeks ... hope he's ok

btw, 2-5-3 was the best formation when I played on fulham server in 2005-2006 ... smashed formations like 4-5-1, 3-5-2 and also 3-4-1-2 (the one I used to play those days with quite succes) ...
on the other hand Holmes used to play 2-5-3 few seasons ago also succesfull ...

there are many good formations, I guess sometimes depends on which good players you have available ... and AT of course :D

Btw, I've noticed that 4-4-2 use wings is strong enough in longball conditions
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Chili on January 26, 2014, 11:42:42 PM
I saw Brads make a post on the forums not too long ago but noticed he still wasn't setting up in-game. :-\

And I'm positive you can get away with using a lot of different formations if you have the right players. ;) I've been looking into formations using DMIDs for quite some time given how cheap they go for on the transfer market, and I've seen Russ use them to a great effect with his 3-6-1 formation. A few formations I've been meaning to try are 1-4-5 and 1-8-1 but if imagining all the rebuilding I would have to do if they proved to be awful has turned me off the idea, lol.

I'm around 4500 credits for now ... when I'll reach 10k or more  I will start buying players for 500 credits and training them ... maybe some days compete against big boys in C1 ... if SL will be still running

Only on goal diff (at the time of writing) Steve. :)

Good luck for this morning. Should be a good tussle methinks. Been a bit unlucky (I thought) in some games where I've lost to a single goal but hopefully this morning the boot will be on the other foot. :D

I did wonder, Brads, to be honest. No points are usually easy against the likes of Blades and others, although was very grateful for the 3 points. :)

Hoping for a better season this time than last. Disappointed not to be in top 8 to be honest. Oh well c'est la vie.  :P

So ruddy typical you were "bothered" when you played ME then! :D

Started off so well then lost one of my best midfielders for about 10 days then he comes back, then gets injured again for another 12 days closely followed by one of my best strikers for ANOTHER 12 days. The game's conspiring against me it would seem. How the mighty have fallen.  :-\

Anyway starting to come back now so fingers crossed.  :P
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: davo on June 13, 2014, 12:57:37 PM
I have been doing random tactics for 95% of games since I joined "smokey". I have been setting all my fixtures up at the start of the season for the past 4 seasons and  playing 5-2-3 longball in all weather - and I have probably had my best form on smokey doing that.....sad really.

I used to spend ages researching peoples previous tactics back in the old days on the other servers, but I really cannot be arsed to do that anymore. It's no real benefit anyway as it is all guesswork about how the opponent will set up - plus the ME makes a nonsense of the management aspect of the game.

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Mancunian_Nick on June 13, 2014, 02:52:22 PM
Sadly I have to agree with you there, davo. Games I think I have sewn up then go pear shaped. I even lost a game not too long ago when my opponent scored in the 90th minute for heaven's sake! :( I suspect what you say about the ME is absolutely true. Oh well.

Incidently, I guess this has probably been discussed before but is there some kind of bug with this 5-2-3 malarky that many of you seem to do or is it just a matter of that gets you maximum gelling because I'd always thought gelling wasn't really much of an aspect (impact?) on games? Just curious. Sadly I don't have enough good defenders to do that. 4-3-3 is the best I can muster at the moment. tra-la-la (was going to say oh well again but don't like to repeat myself :D)
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Chili on June 13, 2014, 03:31:49 PM
My theory is that when CG initially programmed this game, they obviously made it so that player stats would play a significant role. However, due to the nature of the defenders, a squad running 5-2-3 would rarely reach the same total stats as a team with five midfielders. My guess is that they lowered the significance of players stats for 5-2-3 drastically, otherwise there would be literally no reason to ever use anything besides a 5 midfield formation.

However, lots of the top teams do have ridiculously strong defenders. So they get the natural advantage of using 5-2-3 and are easily able to match a 4-5-1 squad in terms of stats, which I reckon completely cancels out whatever disadvantage you might get from playing Longball in the sun or wind. That, and the added bonus of perfect gelling and morale for every match.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Brads on June 13, 2014, 07:18:46 PM
I'm not so sure, don't get me wrong as a generic formation 523 is the best out there!

I still wouldn't use it in 451 conditions though as I don't think you score as many goals and in tough conferences that can be key
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Chili on June 13, 2014, 10:53:48 PM
I agree! I feel like many of those 1-1 draws with 5-2-3 becomes a 2-1 victory with 4-5-1. On the other hand, I feel like 5-2-3 are less prone to random goals against them, so plenty of 0-0 draws are turned into a 0-1 loss. I think 5-2-3 is a necessary evil in this game, there needs to be other effective formations other than just 4-5-1 imo.

I think both formations has a purpose, though. Personally I think 5-2-3 is well-suited for a crazy competitive league where no team can win by a landslide, whereas 4-5-1 is much better in a league with only a few competitive teams. If one team goes to win the majority of their games, you kind of have to do the same, and that's more difficult with 5-2-3 since you are less likely to get rewarded with random goals. However, in a league without any completely dominant teams, earning a draw can sometimes count for a win.

I've ruptured my Achilles for the 2nd time in 3 months :( so had it operated on a couple weeks ago and potted.

I'm on here with 2 teams, SL2 with a team and a team on RS aswell I'm like a football management sim junkie  :)
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Mancunian_Nick on September 11, 2014, 04:15:07 PM
Sorry to hear that Brads. Get well again soon.

I have 1 team here (only ever had 1) plus 1 on RS as well. Doubt very much I'll spend any more money on here now (see how it goes but can't really afford it ATM :( )

BTW I was thinking about something the other day (not for the first time). How many teams do we think enter the friendly table? I think it's at least a hundred and possibly more but for the sake of argument let's say just 50. Each manager has 42 entries for a full schedule (I think that's right isn't it?) so that makes 1 manager spends 4,200 credits per season. Multiply that by 50 and you get 210,000! So how come winner only receives 5k (I think?) and runner up 2,500? That's an awful lot of profit for Cat Games! Seems odd you don't even get your credits back for 2nd place and only just if you finish first! Now CG would say, and to a certain extent they would have a point, that includes additional training. Can't argue with that but surely that's on the extremely low side?! And 50 is probably vastly underestimated too so you can probably at least double that IMHO! You do the sums!

cheers mate! It's a shame I've rejoined just after UNIV and steel city leave the division.. they were names I've battled with in previous spells on the game! I have to admit seeing you finish 3rd last season I'm very suprised to see you down in 10th this time around! Especially with 2 good wins against me early season in the icc and friendlies, although I did have chronic injuries then! Hopefully I can repeat the feat of a division win and Fl promotion this season.. would love to win Fl2 season 50!

Has anyone purchased credits and they have not been added to their account, despite numerous attempts to contact Junior and the management, they have still not been added, what's going on I don't know. i may as well finish as I can't buy players or train or play friendlies.

Chris I've sent another message to the support line, hopefully Junior will pick it up ASAP.

It is crazy that credits which are the most important part to the success of people's team doesn't get resolved as soon as you spend your money.

truth be told I thought I'd log on to a loss! I fell asleep and forgot to set up tactics, and ended up playing the tactics I played in the afternoon games! Luckily my default tactics was passing and moulded boots, and the conditions suited the game! But ended up playing pansy and offsides for a ref that needed nutter and no offsides! So lucked out there!

I'm not home yet, I dropped points against Tottenham hotspur the last time I played them, so could still slip up, which could then make for a tense last game against corkscrew!

to be fair I think I'd enjoy the game so much more with a squad all 500 credits! Luckily this team is just about sustainable with the credits I win but am seriously considering a second 500 credit team, as you say I'm guessing it's very satisfying causing upsets and winning things!

Id recommend it Marv, i just voted for credits flat out for a season with my 2nd team and then started budget buying.  i have to say it is nice getting the occasional upset against a top team (not that i get many). I was actually going to move them to conference 2 as theres a bit of life on this thread  ;D

I think I may have too. Budget 500 a player and vote for daily training credits. See how they do. I think it'll be great fun  achieving upsets and pl wins with a 500 credit team! Is there any top teams out there that anyone knows of that can claim 500 credits a player? I'm sure fc town of Lutons squad is quite cheap, and he had a great season on fl1 this season!

you have every chance mate, you have a strong maturing squad! You beat me in a friendly last season and I've won the title 7 seasons straight! You'll be top 2/3 guaranteed I think.. no upsets really as you have one of the best squads in the division! Here's to the fight! Hopefully having just won lucky number 7 I might have a bit of luck this time around!  :o

there I was sat quietly saying to myself scrape a win against Flashhearts and let spiteri do his thing against super imps and I'll finish runner up and then bang, dave skips from 4th to second! Impressive  8) I'll be stronger in a few seasons once the new squad have matured and by then the likes of yourself and floriana will have had to get new players too  8) hopefully in the meantime my newbies can keep grinding decent results  ;D oh and with a bit of luck no injuries as I've decided to go with attacking players this time around  :o
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO

Yeah, thats the only real issue with opting for attacking formations, when a non-competitive team decides to even the odds and plays psycho leaving you with no viable formation choice without playing someone out of position. Im hoping to gradually add a few rookies shortly if they become available on the TM and maybe cut short some valueble players times with me, i know its not cost effective but to stay competitive amongst the top teams i think its necessary... could really have done with that Defender the other day Marv lol.

that's exactly what I did.. not really cost effective but by God it's kept me competitive. I've probably won it back in pl winnings already. This new bunch will last the full distance now hopefully, and in a few seasons will be peaking ability wise  8)

So Winter and i have been contemplating which conference to join (me with Madbastid United) and it looks as though weve opted for conference 2 guys. Theres a bit of banter here and the competition is of a great standard, so once i amass 1500cr from voting (likely ready for the start of next season) ill be moving to 2-1-2, so will Davy.

I also just realised that The Seg is top of 2-1-3 right now so it looks as though therell be a few more competitive teams coming up in 2-1-1 in the next few seasons :)

My last 4 games

Redhill Rovers (a)

Tumbling Sixers (a)

Im 2pts off 4th at mo, will be disappointed not to get at least 7pts from last 3 games and you never know I might get something on mon nite.
Definitely looking good for Jon, only a Keegan meltdown will stop the title win.

Shameless jumping on the bandwagon here, but I've noticed the Borg has set up a Conf 5 cup and thought that this could be an idea to set up for us? I'm happy to organise as I've got a bit of spare time due to having some wisdom teeth out!

Just would need to know whether we'd be able to get between 8 or 16 teams, and then hold it every 7 days starting from next season. Could be a good way to get a few of the non 2-1-1 teams involved.

Season 124

There's a real buzz around Conference 2 this season, in what many are calling the most competitive in Sundayleague. During the past week our good friends at FredsBet have been in contact and spokesman Fred Champion is fully anticipating a season of twists and turns and the undoubted shock results along the way.

Mr Champion has been kind enough to give us a list of the runner and riders and their chances of success.

5/4 Donkalonk FC The team is full of quality and confidence will be high in delivering back to back titles
6/4 Old Fullerians AFC Marv will be keen to bring the title back home and will be eager to get this season started
3/1 Redhill Rovers The team is still developing and with such an experienced manager at the helm, they will be really keen to see how this season unfolds
10/1 DidierDrogbaFanClub The team has seen an upturn in form in the previous seasons and the manager is bullish that this is their time to shine
10/1 The Rebel Alliance The Rebel is a real danger but their one downside is their ability to no show for the big games
16/1 HH Beticos HH are an up and down team but when they get on a roll they are hard to stop
20/1 Spartak The manager brings a huge amount of experience, could this season be their time to show their class
33/1 Betty Swollocks XI The team is hard to beat and has produced many good seasons, an outside chance if results start well
40/1 Bar


2-1-2

2/1 The Seg The champion of 2-1-3 and a team of undoubted quality have to head the betting as they have produced many eye catching results in other formats.
3/1 Winter Milan The manager has returned after a hiatus and brings with him a team of players developing their skills
7/2 Madbastid Utd The team is known for bringing on players and this will be a test to see if they compete, the manager brings with him a wealth of success in recent times
10/1 Corkscrew If the team show up they could cause problems as they are around their peak
12/1 The Tumbling Sixers A regular in 2-1-1 over recent times, they will be hoping to bounce back at the first attempt
20/1 Bar
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: cha4zz on November 17, 2016, 10:02:53 PM
What a few seasons in prospect - next year in 2-1-1 there could genuinely be 16 teams managing every single night.

Great write up steve, not sure I like the mantle of being favourite for 2-1-2 but definitely looking forward to the challenge this season. We certainly have a few chances with the quality of conf 2 clubs in a few of the majors this season.

Yeah i checked out the match report, Winter had his chances tactically, just didnt take advantage of them, the guys like origami, folds under pressure  ;)

Think my run in the majors will be finished by the beginning of next week. Floriana in the Elite Cup and FC Fish away in the Champions Shield - could have been easier.  :-[

After 6 Games

Redhill Rovers are the early pacesetters and the team will be confident this could be the season however there are still many difficult games ahead including a match up with Spartak in Round 7 who remain undefeated and still to concede. Donkalonk FC are on a high and currently ly second after recently defeating Old Fullerians who are also only one win out of the lead. HH Beticos have shown consistency over the first six games and only have suffered the one defeat so far. DidierDrogbaFanClub and Tottenham Hotspur both come off disappointing results but will be fairly satisfied how their seasons have started.

2-1-2 is nice and tight at the moment, Madbastid leading the way with an impressive 100% record. Nice to see that at least half the league is competitive, for the first time I can remember there could actually be genuine competition in the playoff.

Going to put together a write-up after the next few days.

Well done last night mark great result! Worrying for me that I conceded as soon as I was behind on tactics. Well done to Steve too on getting a draw against Marv keeping it all level at the top!
Also in 2-1-2 what happened dave have you locked winter away in your cellar looks like he's not logged in for a couple of days? Big coincidence?🤔

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO

That was due to your team diving all over the place getting his team booked the game before  ;D

I still have Winter Milan at home as my last game so in the unlikely event of a win tonight ill not count my chickens, however im looking forward to a fun-filled 2-1-1 next season! Hopefully throw a spanner in the works of the favourites  ;)

Excited for the season ahead, although I think top 8 will be an achievement considering the strength of some of the teams. Should be nice and vocal though, there's going to be good teams getting relegated this year that's for sure!

Just seen my fixture list - Jt, Steven, Marv and Redhill in all a row at the back end of the fixture list :-\

I've got to admit that 4-0 whooping left me pretty gob-smacked!  Cant remember being beaten by 4 goals for a game that I set up for.. Especially by a team of 1 and 2 swc...
Well done Davy  >:(

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: davywinter on January 06, 2017, 09:19:53 PM

Will take 7 points to start the season, almost got tripped up by Tipton Tornadoes last  time when they completely changed all their tactics ::)

If I can be around top 6 at the turn of the season, I'll take that with my 15 home games to come afterwards.

Off topic but does being at home really give you an advantage on the game?

It would make sense obviously but just never heard that before.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: bigdealdave on January 08, 2017, 07:13:56 PM
Honestly i dont think so, im only saying because of my FL1 win last season (which i crowbar into conversations with any/all unwilling watercooler participants)  ;)

At the halfway point i had played all my home games last season and i was top by i think 1 point, 15 away games in the top league later and i topped the league by 3 points, i cant remember who mentioned goal difference at the halfway point but i remember cacking myself thinking i was in for a run of harsh results but i honestly dont think home advantage is a huge deal, squad strength, fitness morale and tactics all a much bigger factors i believe, although im open to opinions. Its a good question definitely

Cheers Dave that makes sense to me mate.

I suppose that's how it works in football as well so it would make sense to have it work that way.

I'm going to keep a close eye on this and see if I can work it out for certain.

Going to take a photo of the league before tomorrow's game and stick it up on the wall as a momento. Don't think my side is quite good enough yet to stay here for too long.

Everyone seems to be taking points off everyone else at the moment though, think it will be a lower points total than last season required to win the league.

Don't worry though, watch me toss it up from here I guarantee.  :o

Either way I'll take being at this point unbeaten any day!
Why did I open my big mouth  ::)  ::)

Gunna have a quick moan here...

this game sometimes really gets to me with the results it chucks out. There i am going nicely this season beating nearly all of my title contenders with little or even tactics and then a mediocre mid table team that I've not lost to, (or maybe even drew that much either) in now what would be the 10th season is just beyond me.

Granted they had 30/45 minutes advantage but with those tactics against that team I'd be winning on a normal day. I mean I beat him in a pl today 4-1 scoring with even tactics and even with tactics against me!

His teams stats are much lower than mine and I had "home advantage"

Pretty much completely undone all the hard work of the first 14 games.   >:(

Happened last season to me too against another team I'd not lost too, And cost me the league.

Anyway, rant over.. top at the halfway stage in a tough league. But if I can lose to them then I'd say I'm pretty vulnerable for the run in...

Must admit, was pleasantly surprised to see that I'd finally beaten Redhill having never done so previously. Marv dropping points was just the cherry on top, leaves the league incredibly tight heading into the second half of the season.

I do get where you're coming from though Marv. There's teams that are weaker than mine that I can have 90 mins TA against and struggle to a 1-0 win. Then there's other similar teams who even with 75 mins disadvantage I end up beating. Game engine has never made complete sense though.

I wouldn't condem yourself like that.. long as you can play 11 players in position, which you can, anything can happen. Remember me and you have very even teams in terms of stats so really it'll be as near to any other game.. you may only struggle with gelling or morale.. Remember I lost to hh beticos who have completely inferior players even to your reserves, and my best midfielder will be missing still through injury.. even still.. fingers crossed I can grab at least a draw 8)

I wouldn't get too down Steve, with your squad, in arguably the toughest X-1-1 you've had a great season. Look at last seasons runners up Redhill rovers, can't even get a ICC place at the minute, and Betty swolloks, who is the next earliest to have won the conference apart from me and Donks, as little as 10 seasons ago, is lingering in 11th. Even still they beat the league leaders last night which shows you the strength of the league that 11th can beat top.

All to play for yet
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: stevenm on January 31, 2017, 11:22:33 AM
That's the thing though Marv looking at last nites results as a whole, I never capitalise on other ppl dropping points, it's so frustrating. Hopefully I still got a chance but got away fixtures for majority of season now. I haven't got many more seasons to get in that challenging position.

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO

Conference 2 Trophy


DidierDrogbaFanClub V Madbastid Utd

DidierDrogbaFanClub head into this game with more questions than answers. A season which has brought such highs has also brought some lows. The league form has been a success with many neutrals knowing they are a batting above their station but FL2 has been poor, a competition that was a priority has been a disappointment and thoughts of a return to FL1 have long gone. Madbastid Utd have had an interesting season, they win the winnable games but can't seem to get over the line against the very best. Prediction DidierDrogbaFanClub 2-1 AET


Winter Milan V Betty Swollocks XI

Winter Milan have had a great season so far, their form in the Friendly League has matched their league form, after struggling to promotion in the league, they have showed their qualities and at the very least look like a champions league spot is assured. On the other hand Betty Swollocks XI have struggled mid table in both FL3 and the league would not have been on the script at the start of the season. A run in a competition like this is needed for confidence and to push them to greater heights next season. Prediction Winter Milan 2-0


Donkalonk FC V The Seg

The tie of the round, all the other teams will be glad to see one of these depart at such an early stage. Donkalonk FC have been engulfed in inconsistency. Their league form has been a disaster from their very high standards but still sit just outside the champions league position, their friendly league form has mirrored this with a poor start and then going on a run that only Mo Farah could do then regressed back and saw their challenge falter. The Seg came into Sundayleague with their eyes open, many neutrals new that success would happen but not at this early stage. Up until a few days ago they were the favourites for the league and must still be regarded as a main player, their FL2 form has been incredible, a league littered with quality has been ripped apart and the team are on the verge of the promised land with a few days left. Prediction Donkalonk FC 1-0



Corkscrew V Redhill Rovers

Corkscrew are an enigma of a team, one minute competing with the best, the next losing to a poor side. This is shown in their league forms, holding their own in the league where many would say is the best they can currently achieve however battling to avoid the drop in FL4 is not where a team like this should be. Redhill Rovers have had a disaster of a league campaign, they would have had realistic ambitions for the title however now they find themselves battling for an ICC spot. Their quality however cannot be denied which can be seen in FL2, the teams experience and quality has prepelled them to the top of the division and a return to FL1 is clearly on the cards. Prediction Redhill Rovers 3-0


HH Brticos V Spartak

Two mainstays of the division meet in this tie. HH Beticos don't seem to have the consistency to capture their past glories but what the league has shown us this season they cannot be taken lightly as some of the top teams can testify. HH Beticos seem to be a lock for an ICC spot in a competitive league but can they beat the top teams when glory and trophies are on the line. Spartak have had a disastrous few seasons, not long ago they were looking good for a place in FL1 but now they find themselves on the cusp of relegation to FL4, they have shown glimpses of a return to form. Their league form has been equally bad and they are fighting to avoid the drop which is not what is expected with the history of the club. Prediction HH Beticos 3-1


White hart lane V Tipton Tornadoes

White hart lane can't seem to make the next step, mid table in FL3 and fighting for an ICC spot is good but they know they can do better. They are a team that doesn't give an inch in any game and all the other competitors know they have to battle hard to beat them. Tipton Tornadoes have had a disastrous season, a season which started with them concentrating on the league and giving up a spot in the FL was clearly the wrong call. Relegation looks certain for a team that should do better and has done in the past but maybe this competition can relight the flame and kickstart the season. Prediction White hart lane 1-0 AET


The Tumbling Sixers V england

Two teams who are equally matched and mirror each other. Both teams are in 2-1-2, both are struggling in FL4 and both are rebuilding. The Tumbling Sixers are just outside the promotion places and suffered heartache losing in the playoff final last season but they have regrouped and added some fresh faces. They need to improve in FL4 as that is not where they should be. england are further down the line, they have an exciting group of young talent but they need to get the very best out of them, relegation to the bottom tier of FL is unthinkable but probable. They are safely ensconced in the playoffs in the league and maybe a run in this competition can lift them to the promotion places. Prediction The Tumbling Sixers 2-1


The Dagenham Doorkey V Old Fullerians AFC

The last two teams to be drawn couldn't be further from each other, one is trying to come out of the wilderness, the other is a multiple champion and high achiever. The Dagenham Doorkey is what the conference is all about hope and dreams. They are trying to recapture past form and have brought in some new talent which has flourished in 2-1-2 and seen them on the verge back to the top league. Old Fullerians AFC know they can't be complacent knowing what this league can throw up but confidence is high with some great results in the league recently which sees them sit top and in FL1 where the very best in the game find them hard to beat, can they do better sure they can and this competition could be where they look back in the near future where it all started. Prediction Old Fullerians AFC 4-0

Conference 2 Quarter Final Predictions


Redhill Rovers V The Tumbling Sixers

Redhill Rovers host The Tumbling Sixers on the back of a morale boosting 4-0 win in the last round. I expect them to have to much quality and experience for their visitors. Prediction Redhill Rovers 4-1


Old Fullerians AFC V Winter Milan

The clash of the round as the top 2 in the division square off. Both teams had routine wins in the last round but since then their league forms have been totally different. Old Fullerians AFC cant buy a win and Milan are on the verge of their greatest achievement. However Old Fullerians AFC are at home and experience should carry favour. Prediction Old Fullerians AFC 2-1 aet


White hart lane V Madbastid Utd

Both teams had impressive results in the last round and both will see this as a winnable fixture. Madbastid come fresh from a great result last nite whereas White hart lane suffered a loss. On this basis Prediction Madbastid Utd 1-0


Donkalonk FC V HH Beticos

Both teams just made it into this round after narrow wins. Donkalonk FC cant seem to get back on track in the league after some disappointing results but sit 4th and HH Beticos are 7th but find it tough to get consistency in the league format. However they are dangerous in 1 off games and Donkalonk FC will have to be at their best to progress. Prediction Donkalonk FC 2-1aet

Haha not sure about that one Jon, think Dave is due a big season this year. You're always there or thereabouts + Davy, Steve and Redhill will all be up there.

Good luck for everyone for the season (apart from Marv tonight ;))

Looking again I think I deserved something out the game I know my teams not as good as it was but thought I should of scored in the main part of the match. Oh well  8)

Jon, just noticing that i checked out both your team attributes, doesnt seem to be much in it to be honest, its definitely strange Marv took 3 points playing passing in muddy conditions. Both of you had 30 mins TA and you had the higher aggression the whole match. Apart from the home advantage i think Marv you just got lucky lol


On a totally unrelated note the Madbastids are 2 for 2!!!  8)

Looks like the must of the matches tonight the home team are favourites
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO

I've been terrible recently. Can't pick up a win in anything (my own fault, tactics have been way off!)

lucky is a tad harsh lol. I think stats wise my squad just edges it, even if it is just slightly the game basically revolves around player stats.
Also home advantage would have counted for something.

Also in this case higher aggression wouldn't have counted for any advantage, I actually remember reading a thread years ago about refs in this game and people found reading butch gravelnecks bio playing pansy actually worked in their favour. People risking normal aggression or over found they were getting way to many random red cards with him, so I've always stuck to pansy. Higher aggression means very little to me, it counts for basically nothing, and again I'm sure higher aggression is not mentioned anywhere as being advantageous. I simply play what I know I can get away with with fewest injuries and cards as possible.

As for the muddy pitch someone find me where it says you can't play passing on a muddy pitch. All I can see is that it actually recommends using passing over use wings, and use wings should only be used as an alternative:

Playing Style

The best style of play to employ depends on the weather conditions for the match.Normal - Passing or Longball
Hot - Continental
Windy - Passing
Rainy - Longball
Snowy - Longball

As suggested above its quite clear that windy conditions suits passing, hence my choice in the game last night, and every game with those weather conditions. I've not found anything to suggest playing conditions for pitches, only weather conditions. So apart from a muddy pitch requiring studded boots, unless I'm being blind, there's nothing to suggest anywhere that use wings is the favoured style of play, only that it's actually slightly less effective if anything.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Jt21 on February 23, 2017, 04:08:25 PM
Passing was always a no no in muddy conditions years ago but that has seemed to have been relaxed like the having to play 523 longball has too. No complaints marv I guess I'm still living in the past with thinking I should of won the game

trust me there was quite a few games last season where I thought I should have won  :o ;D
To be fair I'm sure the match engine had played differently over the last season or 2, I personally feel it's closed up the gap between the big 20 or so top managers and the bunch behind.. it's made for some really close games in tight conferences!

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: bigdealdave on February 23, 2017, 04:26:22 PM
yeah i was going to mention butch gravelneck, im too much of a pansy to play normal with him, thought it was quite a ballsy move on Jons part. Your stats are a bit better Marv im just saying about passing in muddy conditions, that to me is the kicker. Noones being victimised here (especially since in my head i think i deserve to win every game lol)  :o
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Jt21 on February 23, 2017, 04:45:14 PM
I guess I've still not quite ever moved on from the days of a 523 longball game between two good sides being a guaranteed 0-0!
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Marv999 on February 23, 2017, 05:38:03 PM
I never remember seeing anything in all my years stating passing on a muddy pitch is a nono! Hey ho.. you lot keep using use wings and I'll keep using passing  ;)

I remember when 523 used to be the thing for a muddy pitch.. 0-0 was a regular.. seems that 451 is the favoured formation at the moment on the match engine.. use wings is still a grey area for me.. I try to avoid it where possible but if I know my opponents going to use it I'll use it to match them and hope my player stats prevails

Been quiet on here the last few days! Looks like Redhill and Dave's Madbastids are the teams to catch after the first 1/3 of the season. Marv is quietly accumulating a few wins and looks Davy's side have begun picking up points after a slow start.

Really tight league from 1st to 9th should make for an interesting season.

A tight game last night Steve, but does anybody know if getting a gk injured after the '3 subs' thing still affects the outcome of the game?

My keeper got injured on 58 mins & the goal went in 2 minutes later. Is this a flaw in the '3 subs' tactic or just coincidence?

I don't think it makes too much difference with the mild concussion injury, but I'm not 100% sure. Has anyone noticed any difference with a more serious injury?

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: stevenm on March 14, 2017, 06:07:23 PM
I believe it does have an effect, I remember in The Friendly League 2 seasons ago The Borg drew 4-4 with Somerset Rebels after 3 subs being used, cant remember the injury but it was worst than a mild concussion.

Congrats Jon, the Donks came back with a bang this season!
second that motion! Awesome jt in what I still maintain as one of the toughest conferences in depth.. even an Icc spot is hard to come by these days in 2-1-1.

I've been guilty over the last season or 2 of having less than 5/10 minutes a day to spend on the game, often rushing to get tactics done at 2:55 every day and not being as vocal in the forums.. also with the loss of my best striker and defender at the start of the new season I'll have a tough task getting my title back from the Donks..

I'm going to try and get back into the swing of things properly next season and hopefully challenge more seriously for the title, and maybe even have a champions shield to defend  8)

Well done to all in 2-1-1 this season, look forward to the challenge next season  ;D

I know the feeling... iv JUST realised i was swapping out a Right Midfielder for a Left Midfielder my past few matches... could attribute my Sweaty Bollocks XI loss to that but at the end of the day its my managerial oversight that caused it, pretty ripping about it!

As you were after last night's games. To be honest, when you remember that Dave has bribed the match engine to make me lose every cup game I ever play against him, a top 3 finish in 2-1-1 and top 5/6 in FL1 would be a good season all things considered.

red cards are a part of football.. still, never been so happy to see one this season  ;D mine to lose now, Tough run ins for me and the bastids but if honest mine mat just be a tad favourable

Cheers Chazz, 2-1-1 is a tall ask of the Madbastids but i do feel like the match engine has been kicking my ass recently. Check out my semi final of the elite cup with Rich for example! Swings and roundabouts tho, it aint over yet Marv ;)

it worked! Now to keep quiet now I'm top! Not expected to be top as I've not been top since match day 9 and been as low as 6th since then, and had to play at least 3 games with players out of position or injured due to attacking players in my squad.. I've had to dip in the transfer market last night for a midfielder to see me through at the expense of a striker, let's hope no more injuries  ::) 8)

As if I kept it on nice rest last night  :-[ have to play an out of position player tonight  >:(

I really need a Donks win here! I think a draw at best for me but not holding out for anything! Seeing as I'm also currently at Heathrow about to go on my footballs end of season and currently at 9am drinking a shit ton of beer  ;D

Post by: bigdealdave on May 19, 2017, 02:38:40 PM
I think marv holds the record with 7 on the trot but that was before and during the return of a lot of old managers. Myself, The Seg, The Donks, Winter and Redhill all are part of that wave.

Not cheapening the achievement as its a helluva run but conference 2 has definitely seen the biggest boost in talent these past few seasons  ;)

Yeah hard lines Charlie. You were 1-0 for a long time but a Freddie Mercury/Neil Young duet either side of 90 mins was enough to edge it.

Dave, it was nice of you to come and watch me collect the trophy in person :D

Hi Guys

There's a certain other game a lot of us play - the game by any other that dare not speak its name lol. This is about that as I don't know where/how else to ask. :)

Speaking of Rocking Soccer :)) - I know this is a big 'ask', especially at this late stage, but I'm on holiday tomorrow until 29th June. I have someone to caretake my Spurs here at SL but I need someone to kindly do the same for me over there. Must have me included as a friend apparently (and vice-versa) so if any of you RSers don't mind doing this for me, please could you kindly message me there ASAP and I'll set things up. I need to get this sorted by tonight if at all possible (tomorrow afternoon at a push) as I'll be leaving late afternoon.

Thanks in anticipation, Nick

I hope your bunch are still up for being outplayed.. I've still got you twice in FL1 and now I've been drawn you in both the elite cup and the ICC! No heroics yet please  8)

Latest form on the results list shows I'm up 3 wins to 2 this season with no draws.. I've won the last 3 so hopefully I can keep that nice little run going  :o

First of the games today Marv, although we're the whipping boys of FL at the moment.

Think it's 4-3 to you to this season now Marv after you gave me my heaviest defeat of the season in FL1 and then I snuck past you 1-0 in the ICC yesterday.

Davy tonight, need 3 points to close the gap between me and the top 4.

Last time I opened my mouth I lost on the last day last season to dave so I'm saying nothing at this stage.. long way to go but happy to have the tightest defence in any x-1-1 along with the borg!

Also will be my last season at the top, losing players in the next few days and currently have 700 credits, ive just not had the time for pm games this season atall, and not set up for several days on the bounce now.. only having time for the league games. A big decision to make weather or not to invest more money with the game as it it at the moment. Hmmmmmmmm
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: bigdealdave on June 19, 2017, 12:22:41 PM
Well the Madbastids arent having the super season they had last season Marv so i think its just up to Jon and maybe Winter to catch you.

We'll just wait until you're rebuilding and go for gold then, last season was a fluke lol
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: cha4zz on June 20, 2017, 11:33:45 AM
I've given up with the league this season. I've been killed with random red cards which have just cost me stupid games that I shouldn't have lost.

I never complain about games where I've lost to Marv, Jon or Davy deservedly and even post on here apologising when I luck out in games like I have done on occasion this season against Dave. Just infuriating when you lose a game because your player gets a straight red for "being drunk".

Still got the ICC semi-finals and quarters of the Elite Cup to go for mind you so not all doom and gloom.

That being said there are clearly players who are more prone to being sent off, I think it's worth getting rid of them straight away regardless of the attributes.

Tight at the top between Jon and Marv, just goal difference between you two. On that note, seeing as you're likely to win a league of some sort, wouldn't it be fairer to let me beat the Bensons next week Jon and bring the ICC to C2? :D

Glastonbury for me this weekend - although I've snagged EE corporate access so should be all good to keep the team managed at least.

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO

It's funny how this game engine works. I forget tactics against dave's flashearts yesterday in champion of champions and as a result played pansy with a nutter or psycho ref and passing on a wet rainy day and won 2-1, and sorted full tactics today and lost  :o weird.. close overall tactics in both games. Oh well!!
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO

Thanks guys, my first major since being back so I'm chuffed - first time i've won the ICC as well. Just leaves the Elite Cup as the only trophy (CS, EC, ICC + X-1-1) I haven't won at some point in the game. Commiserations Jon, game was pretty even throughout.

Shows just how tough 2-1-1 is though, think only 1-1-1 and 8-1-1 rival it now. Good luck guys for the rest of the season (except Dave and the Flashhearts on Friday night in the Elite Cup) ;)

Great set of results for me last night with me beating Davy, (even though it looked like he did his tactics drunk  :P) the Donks losing out to a great win by Redhill and dave's Madbastids also losing, mine to lose now with a 6 point gap and at the moment superior goal difference with 4 games left

Not drunk but it seems I've been playing a striker in midfield for a while now (I'm afraid to check how long)

On the plus side this result made me aware of it lol

My earlier season blip was when I was away on hols and a few days I didn't get setting up or just forgot in a cheap Spanish beer head fog.

Well I'm glad your now aware, always happy to dish out a beating if it helps someone to be better...  ;) it's a service I provide  8)

Now if you could kindly rectify your tactics mistake and beat the Donks on match day 29, that'd be awesome  8)

Well done pal
cheers mate! Only second title in 6 seasons.. so a bittersweet win, form needs to get better but has reflected how little time ive had for the game of late.. actually managed to set up for 29 of my 30 league games this time around, and the one I forgot I got away with and won anyway!

Got players on the decline in my squad and still no credits, just bought my first house with the missus so trying to justify spending money on this to keep me going another few seasons or stick it on holiday mode until my living/job situation is sorted! Tying to prioritise like an adult!!  8) :o

Thanks guys, need a few replacements in the squad so hopefully get that done before it becomes too much of an issue.

2-1-1 definitely getting stronger all the time. You can tell by the goal difference compared to other conferences just how competitive we are, no team scored over 70 goals whereas in pretty much every other conferences most top teams were in triple digits

So my opening four games:
The Donks (A)

my team won't be much longer behind yours. One player down already and a few on the brink. Will be my last season at full strength, hopefully make it back to back titles for the first time in bloody ages since all you lot came and invaded 2-1-1  >:( :o 8)

It's a great league at the moment. As I think Dave said, the fact that nobody has conceded more than 14 goals so far this season shows just how tough the division is.

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: bigdealdave on July 24, 2017, 01:54:36 PM
iv put up that i'm happy not taking part if either A) A better team wants my spot (likely) or B) More than 1 team per manager results in a conflict of interests.

I dont think it will be though as we were able to run 2 teams per manager last time round. Both Flashhearts and Madbastids took part.

Just up to you who you want representing mate. The wildcards a fun twist, iv literally just messaged my 1st choice Conference 1 wildcard there now...
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Marv999 on July 24, 2017, 02:00:53 PM
Well here's the thing, I guess the only way I can select is look at what's going on in fl1

All 4 conference 2 sides are performing Well, so I'd probably want to go with:

Myself
Chazz
Davy
JT

And wildcard TBC

Now I know madbastids would probably be in fl1 should that be allowed but purely because all 4 are doing ok I'd want to run with that line-up..  with madbastids or drogs fans as first refusal.

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO

don't be so defeatist just yet mate.. you watch redhill rovers log back in tonight and turn me over  :D

I've still got slip ups in me yet.. some tough games to go.

I've done well not to lose or concede in that ucb group yet, but i don't think I'll do great points wise.. that said though, I REALLY wana win this. So everyone pull your fingers out and show the others that this is the best conference!

I was expecting to be able to congratulate you this morn Marv! Still a bit to do, but because of the GD, a point against Dave tomorrow should see you home. (Come on Dave  ;D )

You'd think he could looking at that damn history page of his lol

Haha DVG, careful what you say, your set of a riot in here.

Delboy, if you look at your opponents fixture list. Your see your game will be red or green. If it's green on their fixture list it means they've set up for the game. Take a look at your games for today's. All your opponents fixture lists. Some might still be red although you've set up. Means they haven't yet.

Cheers guys! happy to grab my 10th 211 title in the last 14 seasons, and my first back to back titles for 7 seasons. Worked hard for this! 

The conference grows every season and with the team's coming up next season it'll only get tougher! I was pushed all the way this season and happy to have won it instead of going into a final day showdown with Davy.. that would have been a horrible game to negotiate!

I lose quite a few players next season so hopefully my current reserves are ready for the step up and the transfer market treats me well, but this title defence I feel will be tough next season!

Just disappointed not to have an elite cup final to look forward too, I'm still fuming over the semi final loss to be fair


Ahh well there's always next season!

Annoyingly Marv's next 2 games were The Tumbling Sixes and Tipton Tornadoes.

Which means if nobody takes the CPU team, them two teams are guaranteed 6 points, compared to everyone else's 3, which is just what you want, for the teams you are fighting in a relegation battle  ::)

Thanks everyone - first x-1-1 win since coming back so I'm pretty pleased. Can't see it being any less competitive next year either. Was quite fortunate with only a few injuries and awol's which definitely helped.

Been there Steve!

Had that last season with Tekkers, and currently having it this season with South Shields...although Shields are probably too weak to be in a x-1-1 right now.

Your start to the season hasn't helped either, as you've been given quite a tough start to the fixture list. I get that you everyone has to play everyone at some point, but it's always nice to get off to a good start, for the confidence.

I'm sure you can turn things around your way soon, just not too soon buddy  ;)

You've always given me a tough game Dan, no surprise that you're where you are now at all. Your team is only going to improve as well!

I've had a great start but that's all it is so far. Jon was 8 points clear of me last year and I managed to claw it back, but that being said I'm over the moon with the start I've made. Still have you and Davy to play before the mid-point of the season so will be interesting to see how the table looks then 8)

I always find Tumbling Sixers a tough opponent for that very reason, on if he will show up or not. I’d take a draw against you this week Chazz as it would be one more than everyone else has got against you so far haha. A big part of me is like play 5-2-3 and play for the point, at the time of typing this, I have no idea if we have a long ball game on or not, but I’m too competitive to do that and I’ll be going all out for the win regardless of the conditions for our match, good luck!  ;)

Thanks Dan - was undecided and almost changed my tactics at the last minute, glad I didn't!

Picked up a couple of injuries and an AWOL last night though for players who I don't really have replacements for. Having to play a SWC1 player tonight so I'll need to boss the tactics to get anything out of the game. On a more positive note, finally signed a new left sided defender after what must be at least 2 weeks of not even having a player to bid on :o

Thanks Davy, yeah it's been a good run in 2-1-1 this season. Form hasn't really carried over anywhere else though! You're looking strong in FL1 and have played most of us around you now.

Might be a bit more difficult next season, replacing some of my squad with some gems but I'd imagine the league will be a lot closer next year.

Well done Davy on FL1 - nice to see FL1 back where it belongs.

Completely unnoticed by everyone else is that Spartak is in the Champs Shield semi-final. Think he's got Ag in the semi's, would be great for one of the longest serving managers to win one of the major competitions.

I got some huge long terms injuries last night, and 2 players out AWOL. 5 players in total, and 4 of them are defenders...I'm not blaming HH Beticos before anyone thinks that, they only played Normal, and injuries are part of the game, so it happens. I've got the inactive Donks tonight, so hopefully my Left Back, can get over his broken arm, and put in a shift to win 3 points.

Atleast It's come at the end of the season though, when I'm not really playing for anything. My ICC spot is safe for next season, but I know I need to win the last 3 to have any hope of making an appearance in The Elite Cup next season, but The Seg is part of them last 3 games, so i didn't have high hopes for that anyway.

A draw was probably fair last night, can't help but think the recent rub of the green I've had against you Davy has to end soon.

That being said, the win means I finish top of the Manager's Table as well which is a lovely bonus at the end of the season. Hopefully, I should be setting up the UCB team in the next couple of days once I get the competition restarted.

Looking forward to next season.

This happens with quite a few teams. They win win win all the divisions on their journey to a ?11 division. They either find it a crushing experience and fold or they just jump ship before the new season starts because they know its going to be difficult. It is not the game they have been playing. ;) 8)

With the loss of Redhill, Old Fullerians & possibly the Donks over the last few seasons, it would be good to see more strength in depth.

That being said, there's been quite a few handy editions to the league in that time too, with many only going to get better.

I know you guys all check the forum so no need to send out private message; Davy, BDD and Steven, are you all happy to play in the UCB this year? Believable Tekkers are 1st reserves but I'll initially pick the top four from last year if all are interested?

I'm backing Chaz to retain his title, hopefully not as dominant as last season, but his team still looks frighteningly strong despite re-building, I think he's down talking his chances to take pressure of himself  ;)

Oh yeah, I never realised that, it doesn’t feel that way when you’re sat down in 10th haha, still it’s a nice target to have on my back  ;)

I dunno how long it will last though, I got The Donks tonight and it looks like he’s logging back in again, which is great for the division but I’ve always struggled to overcome his team strength when he logs in as my team is not quite there yet.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO

Yup, lost with 60 minutes TA to his 30  ::)
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: cha4zz on December 14, 2017, 04:43:08 PM
My squad depth is so weak this season. Had 2 injuries and a suspension for the 3pm games - had almost 75 mins TA in my FL1 game and just sneaked an 89th min penalty to win 2-1. Last night in the league I won 2-0 against 14th place with 90 mins TA.

Will have to be happy with a top 4 finish I think and go again next year when my SWC1's more developed, they'll be some side though in a few seasons time.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: shellyboy100 on December 15, 2017, 11:53:16 AM
I feel your pain Chaz, I've got a squad full of season 4's and I'm still getting pushed of the park by certain teams regardless of what I do on tactics...you probably saw that from my last post on here though haha.

I should have lost to Betty Swallocks a few days ago, but my team strength worked in my favour there, so I'll shut up about that  ;D

I think it's really awesome how you name your team players after football stadiums though, I found myself going through your players ticking off the ones I have and haven't been too haha.

FYI, there is only 3 stadiums I haven't been too on your players list  ;)
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: cha4zz on December 15, 2017, 12:27:54 PM
It's the perfect place to vent on here, my girlfriend doesn't understand why I'm irritated when I check the score and find out I've lost ;D

Thanks Dan, I name them after the most recent grounds that I've visited. Should be a couple of new ones going on soon, Swindon and Port Vale will be added soon. We've also got Newcastle in the cup, so of course who could turn down a Saturday night on the toon :)

I'll guess that you haven't been to - Globe Arena, The Hive and Whaddon Road. May be completely wrong!
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: shellyboy100 on December 15, 2017, 02:59:58 PM
Nice, when I used to live up north, a night on the Toon was always good! You'll be shocked at how cheap a pint is, compared to down here is too haha.

Close, I haven't been to Globe Arena, Bloomfield Road and Sincil Bank.

I'm doing the 92 club and I'm currently on 84 out of 92, I'm hoping to finish it off this season, eyeing up doing Preston in the new year, to complete the top 2 leagues  :)
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: shellyboy100 on December 16, 2017, 11:25:22 AM
Won 3-0 last night against the CPU team because the team couldn't field enough players to play an actual match.

I'm gonna have a disadvantage on teams who managed to slaughter this team on goal difference at the start of the season now, but it's not like I'm in the title hunt so it's easier to take right now I guess.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: cha4zz on December 16, 2017, 02:23:08 PM
Same story for me and Davy, you can see from the goals scored in the league who's been slightly fortunate and who hasn't managed to.

Hopefully the league doesn't come down to that though. 
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: davywinter on December 17, 2017, 12:26:42 PM

Picked the wrong boots last night and most likely cost myself 3 points...sloppy, I’m still battling Man Flu though, so I’m blaming it on that  :P

Taking nothing away from Tumbling Sixers they deserved the win last night 👍🏻

Our games are bizarre Davy. Yesterday's FL Cup game for example, there's no way I deserved to win yet I managed to beat you. It honestly appears as though the tactic in our games is to have the least TA and you'll end up winning ;D

Sadly my team was at its strongest last season and with a difficult month away from Sundayleague its been hard to find regular time for the game which has shown in my results. I wont leave the game be rest assured in that.

Looking forward to this week break and I would like to wish all managers a Happy Christmas, see you in the New Year.

Looks like a 2 horse race for the title - advantage Davy though having already beaten me twice and with a huge GD advantage.

Ended up in Newcastle for the FA Cup game on Saturday and completely forgot to do my team for a day and a half, lucked out by playing the computer team that doesn't have any players ;D

The Seg takes the lead for the title after Winter Milan slip up last night!  :o

Post by: davywinter on January 14, 2018, 01:03:10 PM
Yeah I've been having issues getting on the site & the forum the last few days, at first I assumed the site was down for everyone but a ICC cup final hammering - & a whatsapp message from BDD - later, I realised that wasn't the case lol
Have cleared cache etc - but didn't think this was the cause, as I couldn't get on with a brand new tablet never used for SL before. I've also tried different browsers, signed out of my google account everywhere.

This is the first time I've been able to get onto the forum with my laptop, still can't with my phone. I'm stumped as to what is causing it tbh.

Anyways, BDD was good enough to take the reigns for yesterday's games (and change my team name to 'Flashhearts Reaerves'  ;D) but barring a few broken images on the site (not being able to see the ref is a big one!) I think I'm ok to set up from now on in.

That's a weird one Davy, if its not working on any of the devices in your house maybe its something to do with your service provider? That's a sore one on the ICC mate but I'm sure you'll get your chance again.

Love the new team name btw lol

Been a strange season - think the league has been much stronger this year which is why everyone has dropped so many points. Davy completely battered me today in our Semi Final of the Beer Cup, you've had my number all season though :-[

Good luck to anyone else left in cups for the end of the season (apart from JT's Donks tomorrow afternoon ;))

Well Done Chaz, I picked you out at the start of the season  ;)

Finished 8th myself, clinging onto the last ICC spot for next season!

My poor start to the season didn’t help with 4 draws. I felt I was stronger in the 2nd half of the season but it was too late to achieve anything other than a top half finish.

One of those games Jon, i've had those go in my favour before. I'm sure i'll have a red card go in my favour at some point this season :) Well done on the win though mate, that's my heaviest defeat in some time :o

Not expecting too much this season, my best players are all going to drop off shortly and replacements aren't quite there yet. Should be competitive but think the title might be a season or two off. 
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: shellyboy100 on February 01, 2018, 10:22:29 AM
Won 1-0 last night with only 1 minute tactical advantage  :o

I get it’s frustrating for Booksie, I’ve been on that end of the score line many times the last few months with my team, hopefully it’s a sign of my team strength coming through, and I can finally mount a title challenge...only 5 games in though, so I’m trying not to get carried away, we’ll see where we’re at after I play some more of the big teams.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: cha4zz on February 01, 2018, 10:30:24 AM
Struggling slightly at the moment - too many games mean I'm not really paying as much attention as I should be and I'm almost dreading managing my team because it takes so long.

Beat me comfortably last night BDD!
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: shellyboy100 on February 08, 2018, 08:37:52 AM
Been a bit fobbed off by my last 2 results in the league.  >:(

Played BDD a few days ago to a 2-0 loss, despite having 45 mins tactical advantage, to his 30, but fairplay to Dave, he's got a strong team, and I didn't run away with it on tactics, but I feel like a draw would have been a fair result in this one.

The worst one though was last night against Corkscrew, I had 73 minutes tactical advantage from the kick off and somehow he scores first and goes on to win 2-0. I get he has a beast of team, but my team is no pushover either. 73 minutes tactical advantage, with a squad rating of over 760, should get you something on this game.

In neither game did I have a player out of position or do something silly like have the wrong boots on.

I know it sounds silly, after my last post where I mentioned I won with 1 minute tactical advantage, but this game shouldn't be based on who is willing to spend the most on a squad of players, rather than tactics  ::)
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: cha4zz on February 08, 2018, 09:53:48 AM
I know what you mean Dan. My team love getting a sending off at the moment in big games ;D

There's a few strange results floating around, I was lucky to get 3 points off you earlier in the season as well.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: shellyboy100 on February 08, 2018, 10:51:58 AM
Haha, I remember thinking I could off got a draw out of that one too, but I wasn’t a dominate on tactics and I think my team still trying to catch you on team strength.

I got The Donks tonight. Who I only beat for the first time on Sunday...I didn’t have a single minute of a tactical disadvantage in that game too, so I know what I’ve gotta do tonight  8)
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: cha4zz on February 27, 2018, 02:51:25 PM
Has been a little while since anyone posted - looks tight at the top but Davy has pulled away slightly over the past couple of days.

I've been taking a step back from the game recently which is seemingly working, busy at work and too many games just burnt me out. Going to change formations from 4-5-1 to 2-5-3, there are no defenders at all and having been waiting for 2 seasons I can't justify waiting much longer. Going to make it difficult to compete again next season but it at least will give me something different to manage.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: shellyboy100 on February 27, 2018, 07:29:15 PM
I get what you mean Chaz, I have some players who are gonna need replacing next season, and I thought I’d test the market with another team and see how easy it was to get players...didn’t get a single one.

My teams is approaching its peak soon and after its had that, I may move down a couple of leagues until I get the players.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: stevenm on March 03, 2018, 04:09:16 PM
Picked up form right at the end of the season. Hopefully take the positive going into next season.

can't wait to get back and liven you lot up again! Aswell as claim hack my dominance of this conference  ;D whos been performing in my 5 season hiatus? I see some random team called corkscrew won it last time out?!

Good to hear from you chazz anyway... I see you said you play regular poker? Me too! You'll find me most evenings at grosvenor Luton gambling all my money away  ::)  ;D you ever get out to tables much??

Im hoping I'll be back in 211 in 4/5 seasons. Need to build up some good stats and go from there. I'll try and time it with climbing back up to fl1. So around 4/5 seasons will hopefully see my new team nearing it's top potential.

Ah I never knew that you played down there very often! I play cash down there at least once a week, although I’ll play a tourney every now and again – usually play the Deepstacks or Bullseye at Genting Luton as the structures over there are pretty good. Thinking of playing the Easter Beast next weekend though. I’ll pm you though off forum as I’ll be down there for sure next week (in Amsterdam this weekend) ;D

Haha, yeah Corkscrew winning the league was a surprise last year. In the 5 seasons you’ve been gone – I think BDD won the first, I won the next three and then Corkscrew won last season. We’ve lost Redhill though which is a bit of a shame but added a few other decent teams.

yeah normally down there for cash games. Play the tourneys before hand, normally the Monday's and Saturdays just the 1500 guaranteed. Make genting a few times aswell for the level of each stuff to get a bit more familiar with PLO. Was looking at the Easter beast too. I cant play the Friday day 1 at luton though.. Is Sunday another day one too? Also going to goliath this year for the first time.

Looks like your the man to beat then chazz. Hopefully in a few seasons I'll be back around 211!

Looks like you've got a decent squad Marv, although looking at the match report surprised that Davy didn't equalise in the last 30 mins.

How long you thinking before making the move back to 2-1-1, 2/3 seasons?

I've got a few more players to buy.. 6/7 maybe.. I've bought some young average players for 500credits just to fill a hole at the minute until the right player comes along. So possibly back in 211 maybe as you say 2/3 seasons. I'll probably move to 213 next season. Try and get back in fl5 aswell to head back upto fl1

It's been an interesting battle all season this year. Looks like both title and relegation are going to go down to the last game.

Just about to say it's sad seeing all johns teams turn pc. Will be looking forward to being in the best x-1-1 again next season, especially with the competition going all the way to the relegation spots! I will be fighting for an icc place and will be happy getting One! Need a few more development seasons under my belt before I can get my title back!

Good to be back... And in normal marv style I forgot tactics for my first game last night and played wrong playing style and tactics I used tjat day!  ::) lucky to get a 0-0 draw. Players still very young so will not be my usual competitive self just yet. A top 4 spot would be fantastic! Big game tonight chazz  8)
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Marv999 on June 21, 2018, 08:15:30 AM
Only gone and done it again. Ruined my striker substitution  and played a player out of position for 75 minutes. Could have missed an easy point there or even a win as chazz only had 1 minute advantage. Gutted. 2 games, 2 stupid mistakes
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO

I was wondering what had happened there, thought I was fortunate to win - let alone 2-0.

Cool, what he look like?. Yeah ill let you know if i head up again, will be nice to introduce ourselves in person at the table haha! I've not ran great either, was down 200 on Sunday and broke even after 5 hours so it felt like a win haha!

A bit gutted not to get the win last night Chaz, but I was thin on Stikers before the game and went 3 up front and one got injured which cost me all 3 points I reckon.

A draw isn’t the worst thing in the world at this stage in the season, I’ll make sure the rest of my results put some pressure on  ;) good game  :)

Yeah you were unlucky Dan, I think the injury to your striker played a part and home advantage I think helps. I can't believe my side are doing so well tbh, I'm playing 2 SWC 1's in midfield so I'm optimistic for what my team will be in 2/3 seasons time. I was just pleased that it wasn't a repeat of the Beer Cup game!

Probably easier to organise on here rather than sending out various pm's. The UCB is starting up again so wanted to check who's around to take part?

I'll go via the league table from last season if all agree - if not let me know as I'd be more than happy to have Steve involved.

Dave/Dan/Marv let me know if you're able/not able:

1) The Seg - Confirmed
2) Madbastid United - Confirmed (hopefully!)
3) DidierDrogbaFanClub
4) Old Fullerians AFC - Confirmed

Chaz my focus next season is FL2 but I recall someone sayin UCB will be every 3 days. If this is the case I can play. If its everyday I wont play.

I entered The Flashhearts for Dave for Con1. Last UCB Dave entered both his teams.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: cha4zz on August 07, 2018, 04:54:53 PM
No problems Marv, your side by the end of next season will be rounding into a strong side again.

Thanks Steve, i'll check to make sure that it's going to be a game every 3 days. I agree with you though, I think every day is too much when you factor in the official competitions, FL, TCL and UCB on top.

I'll let you know either way.

Correct me if I'm wrong but attacking beats defensive right???

If the answer is yes then it goes to show how weak my team still is if I'm having advantage for the first half an hour of a game and actually conceding  ::)

Really frustrated with the match engine as that shouldn't be happening really even if my teams a season or 2 from potential.

Might need to drop out of 2-1-1 again for a few seasons until I can compete at the top.

I had 45 minutes advantage, (All of the first half)
Only had 15 mins disadvantage (45 until 60)
Even tactics from 60 to 90mins.

That shouldn't end in a Loss surely?!

I have to agree with you Marv.

This was my FL1 match yesterday:
         
Time       Person   Description
 1 mins      The Pompey Chimes   changed from Counter Attack to Defensive
 1 mins      Naval and Military   changed from Defensive to Counter Attack
 30 mins      Naval and Military   changed from Counter Attack to Attacking
 40 mins      Dick Tater   A mild concussion   
 45 mins      Tim Ream_8   A broken thumb   
 45 mins      Moe DeLawn   with a little side heel inside the six yard box   
 45 mins      The Pompey Chimes   changed from Defensive to Attacking
 60 mins      The Pompey Chimes   changed from Attacking to Counter Attack
 
I lost 1-0 which is fine but I had 60 mins TA, even for 15, at a disadvantage for 15. The only conclusion I could come to was being down to 10 men. Really frustrating result and felt like this should have been a draw at the very least  :(
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: cha4zz on August 21, 2018, 12:29:41 PM
Yeah it puzzled me Marv, i'm all for winning games but I don't quite get how I managed to win last night. My team is strong at the moment but it shouldn't happen that you concede a goal when dominating.

I know it doesn't really help, can't explain it mate.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Marv999 on August 21, 2018, 01:23:44 PM
It's just a complete random pile of poo at the moment.

I'm having games where I have over 60 minutes disadvantage against respectable teams and winning and like last night I'm having games where I have advantage for the whole first half and I go in 1 down. Like what are you supposed to Do with that info?!

I'm literally Guna spend no time on tactics if it's that random. Just chuck a few advance in and then it's in the hands of the random match engine  ::)

Unlucky Ryan, Jasper Goodhead always sends off my players when I play normal against him so gambled and played pansy which meant that I kept all 11 players on the pitch for once. I've still got Believable Tekkers to play before the halfway point of the season and you've had a cracking start to the season with the Madbastids. A point leaves it evenly poised for the 2nd half of the season 8)

My consistency is a mess this season Chaz, you’ll probably be fine 😉

This was my last chance at a title before re-building and it’s already gone out the window to me.

Got lucky in the Elite Cup against you with the random goal and I think that’s the only time I’ve beaten you, so I can’t see much changing on form from me unforntualtly 🙈😂

Come on Shellyboy you can do it. I would love a title with Madbastids before I have to hand them back. Ha.

Very close last night but draw was the correct result. Just needed a bit more resilience. Looking forward to the rest of the season
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Marv999 on September 04, 2018, 02:38:24 PM
This is a joke now. 16 points off the pace is not where I'd thought I'd be. I'm conceding with advantage in my favour and against teams playing wrong playing styles for the weather and lesser aggression. I'm not even in an elite cup place at the moment and obviously champions shield and at this rate I won't even get icc. Feel like jacking it in once and forall. What's the point in trying when my team should be strong and I concede with advantage in my favour? I have no time to bother with advance tactics and beong easily outguessed for 75% of my matches and when I do get advantage in my favour I still lose... Not even draw! There's no fun in that.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Marv999 on September 04, 2018, 02:46:35 PM
If you need a perfect example of this I urge you all to look at my only defeat in the friendly ladder this season a few days ago, a 1-2 loss vs rathpeacon.

2 fairly evenly matched teams. Both using the same playing style. I had the 75MINS ADVANTAGE... 15 MINS EVEN TACTICS AND HE HAD 1 SECOND ADVANTAGE AND I LOST. I had the whole 1st half advantage. No goal. He had the 1st second of the second half advantage and scored. I immediately changed tactics even until 60 mins. I HAD THE LAST HALF AN HOUR ADVANTAGE AND AGAINST 10 MEN AND STILL CONCEDED!

What's the point when a game like that goes like that. I had a full strength team out and nobody low on morale or out of position.

*edited* I did play a midc in position 7 instead of an amidc due to injuries but this has not been an issue before as I have beaten super imps using this before in an icc final. And he performed to a 77 rating which isn't actually too bad.

I empathize with you totally on this, I think Borg has mentioned too that the Match Engine definitely needs sorting out, but no response from Junior

I think quite a few of us have noticed losses when having the majority of the tactical advantage,

Keep prevailing and building a strong team, eventually, things will turn around, or will be in your favor,

Cheers

Making the jump over to conference 4 shortly. I've been in conference 2 since my return and had great success here winning 7 titles in a row. It's been awesome but im losing drive to log in and take in seriously again and a conference change is a last ditch attempt to keep me playing the game. With the loss of redhill rovers, winter taking a break and madbastid being dorment means this conference has gone a bit quiet. Also it's a great opportunity for me to clash with 2 legends of the game in the borg and deca. And my mate spiteri with floriana fc will join 411 again soon after his break. It's been fun but this is one of the moves I have to do to try and keep my interest in the game. Conference 2... thanks  8)

Shame to see you go Marv, another team dropping from Conf 2 only weakens the conference further. I get why you would want to move across although I'll be sticking around for a while longer yet. The game engine itself is bizarre at the moment, teams not winning when they should be and vice versa. Hopefully will bump into you in FL1 in a couple of seasons time.

cheers man. It was either that or quit. The match engine has killed me recently and as a result I've just half arsed tactics recently and been destroyed in the league and the fl ladder. I haven't even been promoted from fl3 this time around  ::) tag that along with no elite cup or champs shield has left motivation levels low, along with having a very hectic life outside of Sunday league. I'll hang around a bit and see what happens when my team peaks and if nothing special happens I won't buy anymore credits and let them fade away with the game.

Fingers crossed it doesn't make a difference, computer team now have Madbastid last game of the season but hopefully I'll have the league won by then. Faltered a little bit recently!

Conference 2's loss is a big plus for Conference 4, and welcome Marv.

I can understand your frustration though, My Villains and Cubans haven't won anything for many seasons, but just keep fighting on and hope fortunes will change.

Might be something to do with the stronger opposition I'm facing  :) :)

Cheers

I won't change tactics for the last two matches, i don't want to change the outcome of final placings

Any idea how we've ended up with Homestead Garth FC now in 2-1-1 and Madbastids Utd no longer in the league? I went away for a few nights to the states and logged back on to see an almost completely different division ;D

If I don't win the title this season, I'd be as happy as possible to see you pick it up Steve.

Thought 3-0 flattered me last night Iwopp, still have no doubt that you'll be battling for the title come the end of the season.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: iwopp on October 05, 2018, 03:53:36 PM
Very much doubt it Chaz.
I've had to replace 10 players in the last month. Thankfully the transfer market isn't as active as i'd imagined.

Welcome Bri

Things have gone well for me so far this season and for the first time ever I have a chance at this thing. Disappointed that Beticos got the free win before you joined the division, hopefully this isnt costly to my chances. However confidence is high here. This is my time. #ForzaFanClub

Thanks everyone for the congrats. Couple of playing need replacing at the end of the season so I'd imagine it will be even closer next year.

Hopefully we'll get a bit more here activity here on the forum, will try and bring the Champs Shield back to the conference in the meantime :)

I will be back home to 2-1-1 in a couple of seasons (maybe even next season) so watch out for me ;)
I remember this conference was the hardest to win a few years back and it still competitive which is brilliant to see.

Well done Cha4zz on a brilliant season but we have unfinished business and I’m coming to dethrone you 8)

Also shout out to The Drogs and HH Beticos. You guys been in 2-1-1 forever and I remember our battles. You both should be very proud of your performances.

Hi guys - your favourite yo-yo team is back in your midst once more after a successful season in L1D2. Looking to perform well in both CS, EC and especially the division.  Got a toughie this morning against my old adversity Beticos but fingers crossed for a good exciting match. Always tough early on with nothing much form-wise to go on so hopefully next time I write, I'll still be up there in the mix. Time will tell and hope it's not famous last words! :P :D

Good luck everyone. Have a great season, whatever happens.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO

Looking forward to having you over here Kush, enjoyed our battles last season so would be great to have you in Conference 2.

Good luck to everyone for the season, would be great for you to stay up Nick. Always good to have managers that are active on the forum and that are actually difficult to manage against.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Mancunian_Nick on November 18, 2018, 02:31:56 PM
Cheers Chaz. Unfortunately couldn't have been a worse start. Have made 2 cockups so far which cost me in 1st 2 games but on the job now so hopefully that's all behind me now. :P :D

If Kush does come back, gonna be even tougher in 211 than it is already. :P

Slightly fortunate to hold on for the win last night - managing to hold onto top spot at the moment though despite a few injuries which is a good sign for the rest of the season. Good luck to everyone from 2-1-1 in the Elite Cup tonight.

Thanks mate, think next season will be a bit tougher with me having to field a couple of SWC 1's towards the end of the season. Can that entice Steven to stay for at least one more season now that he doesn't have to manage the FL?

Bizarre way to end the season - must admit that I thought I only needed to match Tipton Tornadoes tactically, not beat them. Especially after beating them 4-0 at lunchtime!

Would be great to have a couple of other active posters on here, it was a really tough season this year. Unlucky iwopp.

36 game winning streak - that is really some achievement to do in any X-1-1. Round of applause mate.

I’ve been quite lucky with some of my division games. I have been outclassed in a few games with tactics but my strong team has managed to cope and get me good results. I’m on 757 at the moment and only going up.

I hope the luck can stay with me when I play you  :o

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: captain_kush on June 12, 2019, 03:08:23 PM
Nick if this is of any help;

Your team turned into a cpu last season when you was playing me in the division. I still remember going to your fixture list and looking at your previous tactic settings against other teams and to me it seemed that most game were set up accordingly.
That is why I was surprised because the next day it says i'm facing a cpu (your team) which means no one logged in for 30 days I think?
This happened day 36/47 last season - Thursday 16th May 2019.
I even took a screen pic because I was baffled. Still am if I am honest.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Mancunian_Nick on June 12, 2019, 09:15:54 PM
Thanks Mihai/Kush

I'm mystified too because I didn't go/leave until 9th May I think it was and was playing until then ... my babysitter tells me she was able to log in for 7 to 10 days after that before she was unable to ... you can work out a rough date from that ... I only got back on 8th June about 9pm in the evening. Certainly it hasn't been 30 days!! So yes I'm surprised and disappointed. Fortunately last time this happened Junior was able to get my team back ... and I usually get a message warning me if I've gone 30 days without logging in but I usually remember to log in far more often than I used to before but basically I'm baffled too Kush so unless Junior can get me back, that's it for me after playing sincie about 2007 if memory serves?? Certainly won't be setting up a new team or spending any more money ... I'd just pumped another 9.95 into the game and had over 10k credits if memory serves me right .... wish I hadn't done it now. :( But sadly not *too* upset other than principle of this ... damn crazy ... oh well if Junior gets his finger out and sorts this then great but I can't see it so as Bob Hope used to sing many years ago ... thanks for the memory. :)

Reading what you say Kush ... Thursday 16th May ties in with what Pauline told me ... 7 to 10 days after I left ... certainly not 30 days!! I was playing myself until just before I left on 8th or 9th of May so you say you were and still are baffled. As I said in my other post - me too. Oh well.

I hope so Ivor, but my past history suggests I always bottle it in the last hurdle..... I think it will be very close till the very end and possibly goal difference might be a factor.

Other than that can't see you dropping any more points.

Far from over Mustapha.
I'm having a dip in form lately, lost my last three fl1 games and have the dreaded pint pot curse again.
I'm putting them on a strict diet of doughnuts to soak up the beer!

You lucky lucky man!

Well done my friend, I expect you to win the remainder of your games unless a miracle happens.

Rumours have been circulating that your doughnuts have been contaminated in order for your players to go AWOL... I am hoping both your goalkeepers will be unfit to play haha 8)

It's all yours to lose now  ;)

Congrats Ivor on retaining the title :)

Was really tight this season, your form the second half of the season was tremendous and I couldn't hack the pressure which cost me big time. I'll learn from my mistakes and come back stronger for sure!

Hope the new season will even be more interesting with more teams in the hunt for the title.

Good luck to the new season for all!

Your team is getting stronger every season though  :o

Thanks Ivor, I was a bit upset earlier on... to get 81/90 points and still not come first hurt but I won 3-1-1 and the FL Cup so I am more than happy now =)

I have to replace two good defenders next season but my reserves are not to far off strength wise so I think I will still be strong enough to challenge and give you competition. I will hit peak in the season after :D

I have a feeling we will meet in next seasons Champions Shield somewhere along the way against my Gelato's  8)

Bring on next season! It's also great to see Steve back to business in 2-1-1... Top manager and I am sure he will be back with a bang next season.

What are you serious? That is ridiculous.

I tried to change email address when I took over my Gelato team but it didn't let me. Changing email doesn't work but normally when I have changed password it works.

I will whatsapp Junior right now for you mate and tell him to look into your account asap. Can't let you not log in for our big game tonight.

I have messaged Junior on whatsapp, hopefully he is able to sort it and get back to you as soon possible.

Ivor,

Junior has replied back to me and will look into your account to sort it.

I mentioned to him your email that you signed up with is no longer working. If you would like to give me your working email, I can forward this on to him. Alternatively, I also asked him to private message you via the forums if there is no other way of contact.

I went all out for the 3 points and it worked. Technically not over yet with just one game to go but there is no chance in hell I am dropping points tonight lol. Really happy to win my first 2-1-1 in a very long time. I'll be in even stronger next season  ;)

No worries mate regarding Junior. I didn't want to beat you the easy way and claim the league that way. If there is a chance I can help someone here, then I will.
We've had a good rivalry the past few seasons and I hope it continues  8)

Now onto the Elite Cup final  8) ... Good luck in your final mate :)

Shame this match is not as big as previous seasons but that’s my fault with my poor league run the first half of the season.
Even if I get a result tonight will still be 8 points behind and I can’t see a way back especially since the only team to beat you in the last few seasons is me lol.

Guess we will find out and have to wait and see.

Hahaha if only that would be possible I would probably take it lol.

Would be one heck of an achievement to go all season without conceding mate. Can't remember any team going through a whole season in X-1-1 without conceding.... I couldn't even do it in the lower level divisions.

Also I thought I would have a big rebuild next season but not as big as I thought it would be ... For some odd reason used to think 9 seasons between age 19-21 but it is to 19-23  8)

Hahaha it's only fair Ivor. Thanks for the help  8)

Honestly was hoping to pip 3rd place but I'll take 2nd all day everyday :D

Smash and grab.... It's what I do best, you've had some past experiences :p

TM sucks man, I have been waiting for a long time for certain positions... Might just give up and buy normal stat players.

There are some bargains on the TM market occasionally.

Very nice, I'm in need of a left mid so hopefully I can get something similar :D
What is going to cause me problems is replacing my 2 DMIDS who before expire sometime next season... You hardly see special stat DMIDC in TM

Same.... Still playing with 2 DMIDC that are declining heavily and can't find decent replacements.... I'm thinking of changing formation but it's difficult right now. I'll be happy with a top 4 place this season  :)

TM is atrocious, also waiting years for a decent aged attacking left back.

An incredibly close and exciting season! I very much enjoyed the challenge and hope next season will be even better! First time I have retained my title in 2-1-1 so I am happy about that. I have a couple more players to swap it next season and will only be getting stronger from that point. Lucky that West Warriors didn't set up properly because I have dropped points against them in the past.

Will try bring the EC to 2-1-1 tonight but a very hard ask . . .

Fantastic, hopefully he responds! I remember clearly once he was looking after your UNIV team and I logged in 15mins before K.O and he had all his accounts logged in except for yours UNIV.

You still have a very strong team at the moment, so I am more than sure you will be competing in your first season back.... Don't get me wrong though, me and Ivor will have to teach you a quick lesson on how life is returning back to C2.  Brian's team is pretty strong and will also be a force next season for sure and Ag's Dynamo are on the rise. It's a shame that Kyle from Monkey Hangers isn't as active as before because his team is at a strong age now. Hopefully he's back full time this new season. Hope Steve also comes back!

You then have the 2-1-1 legends HH Beticos, Betty Swollocks, Spartak & Tiptons who on their day can easily cause mischief and always difficult to beat. Hopefully Chazz comes back to C2 aswell since he is back! The future is looking good :)

Sorry Kush, that's not me. :(

I'm not accusing anybody, but I find a little bit strange that Seagulls In Exile, who played normal aggression the first 5 games of the season, change to nutter on 27th march, played against my team on 29th march (with Simon Piemann as a reff) just a day before our game in FL1 ... leaving me with 3 injuries ... fortunately just one long term injury ...

Seagulls In Exile until this morning supported Torquay United ... just like your other teams ... Also when I've logged in this morning (evening in Canada) I saw both Seagulls In Exile and Park My Penguins online. And now in the afternoon I've noticed that Seagulls In Exile supports Brighton & Hove Albion.  If it's not you Gull then somebody is trying to look like it's your team.

Sincerely I know that are managers with more than one team in the same conference and things went bad for other managers because some teams which kept same tactics the whole season decided to change to nutter and psycho just against top teams (like Saiyan Warriors did few season ago against Purple Gelato).  It's a pity   :( :( :(

Post by: captain_kush on March 31, 2020, 02:56:30 PM
it's a real shame when someone purposely tries to sabotage their opponent by going nutter/psycho. All teams in conference 3 have experience with twat Saiyan. First time he went normal on me yesterday in like 3-4 seasons, he tried the bluff but it was easily caught. Next time I will go psycho on you plonker. I also remember this happening to Deca in C4 and back in the days in C8 i think?

Gull, I thought you was the manager of Seagulls in Exile just one of your lower end teams which you only use for extra friendlies but we take your word if you say it's not you. As Mihai said, it looks like someone is trying to make it seem like it is you and hopefully we will be able to find out the culprit. If Junior was easily accessible to get in touch with, he could have told me in seconds by just looking at the I.P address but that maybe difficult now. They went back to normal aggression in yesterdays division game against Betty Swollocks with Wilmot as the referee.

Sorry to butt my nose in here but if you look at this game from Seagulls in Exile earlier in the season they appear to be called Monkey Hangers FC?

http://smokey2.sundayleague.com/cgi-bin/sundayleague/match.pl?fixtureid=10058550

If you look at Monkey Hangers, they're a team near the bottom of 6-1-1 that is a Man Utd fan? Not sure if this means anything or not just found it strange that there has obviously been a division swap by Seagulls in Exile at some point earlier in the season.

EDIT: and looking at Monkey Hangers results, he's only managed in the last couple of games. Also, Seagulls in Exile's side is way too poor to get promoted to an x-1-1.

Kyle has 2 teams one that was in 2-1-1 and the other in 5-1-1.
I spoke to Kyle recently and played with him some COD on the ps4 and he mentioned to me he hasn't logged in for a while. I see that he moved his teams to other divisions just a few days ago or something. I think he has given up on the game and I can guarantee that this Seagulls in Exile is not his team.

I can't remember if Seagulls in exile were in 2-1-1 from the beginning of the season or he took a CPU space during.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: captain_kush on March 31, 2020, 05:41:06 PM
Yes Chazz it seems your right when saying there was a swap some point during the season were Monkey Hangers left 2-1-1 and Seagull in Exile took that slot.
That explains why the his team name appears in the match report.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Chipnicker on March 31, 2020, 05:57:29 PM
Great detective work Chazz. You could be on to something there though and I reckon you're right. At the moment it seems Kyle has moved both his Monkey Hanger teams into 6-1-1 and renamed one Bonkers. Kush, I don't see his team in 5-1-1 there anymore, so I guess Bonkers is the team you're alluding to.

Disappointed with Mihai to point the finger, although I've accused Ag after the dodgy results in 7-1-1 so I'll take it on the chin. You may or may not be aware that Brighton share the same nickname as Torquay (They are The Seagulls & we're The Gulls). With a Brighton badge and strip I thought it was pretty obvious that it wasn't me although I guess you couldn't look past the Seagull connection. To be brutally honest, if I wanted to butcher Mihai's team I wouldn't leave a trail of breadcrumbs that would lead back to me - I'd name my team something as obscure like Kingsmill Rovers, managed by David Smith who supported Walsall. Wouldn't do that anyway but you get my point.

Staying on topic of foul play, I can see a clear conflict of interest with Mihai's reserve team, now run by his mate Chili, in 2-1-1. Come the end of the season it's not beyond the realms of possibility that Kush and Mihai could level on points at the top. In the penultimate game, Mihai actually plays his old reserve team - let's see how that one pans out.

It's not Mihai's reserve team anymore, and he doesn't have access to it. He generously offered me his team in order for me to be able to jump right into competing again with some of my old C2 buddies, which includes Kush.

And besides, they are both going to lose. ;D

I'll chat to Kyle and ask him whats up with his teams.

In terms of any foul play, I know there will not be any whatsoever. Mihai and Chili are good friends of mine, with each other and we all go way back. If I am honest, I am not a big fan of teams leaving and joining X-1-1 mid season cause it can swing results and largely effect goal difference but it's fantastic to see Chii back home to 2-1-1 sooner rather than later and I'm happy C2 has now become a much stronger conference with Mihai & Chii now here.

Can't wait to smoke you guys :D

No need to be sarcastic about it. If I offended you I do apologize. Like you said, you also suspected Ag in the past, so you know that feeling.

Post by: Chili on April 04, 2020, 02:28:51 PM
He clearly took it to heart considering he deleted his forum account until someone provided more information but can't say I'm very sympathetic.

First of Gull, Mihai wasn't even directly accusing you. That was his opening statement. What he said was based on whatever information he had available, and even gave you the benefit of doubt by saying that there very well may be someone who is trying to make it look like you. Misguided or not, he wasn't saying anything about you as a person.

On the other hand, it seems like you are trying your best to defame everyone you don't like. What's the point of trying to suggest that there is a possibility of foul play simply because Mihai used to own Port Morrow? Unlike Mihai post, you are directly insulting my character suggesting I would do such a thing, and you have no reason to. You just pulled that out of thin air to stir up some drama. And why do you bring up Purple Gelato in the C2 thread? Are you insinuating that Kush is managing Sayan Warriors all of a sudden? And are you going to keep using every given opportunity to take a jab at Mihai, regardless of whether it's relevant to the C2 thread or not? And apparently you've done so in the past as well to Ag.

I don't get why you were so deeply offended but I suggest you drop this. Your attitude is quite frankly very annoying.

I don't get why you were so deeply offended but I suggest you drop this. Your attitude is quite frankly very annoying.

Just to make it clear I haven't got a personal vendetta against anyone that posts on the forum, I've been very complimentary to Mihai amongst others and this can be confirmed if you go back through my posts on various threads. Same goes for Kush, I was very supportive of his attempt to improve SL and it's still disappointing that Junior wouldn't relinquish control because he had some impressive plans in place to take the game forward. In terms of trying to defame everybody, I don't dislike Mihai, Kush or indeed yourself.

Why was I so offended? As I mentioned above, I've only ever said respectful things on both the forum and chat about Mihai so was disappointed that he  ̶w̶a̶s̶ ̶a̶c̶c̶u̶s̶i̶n̶g̶  had his suspicions. I was probably more surprised than offended if anything.

Thanks for clearing up the Port Morrow situation. Evidently you are good friends and I wasn't sure of the possible implications of foul play in 2-1-1 and whether Mihai still had access to the account. I wasn't trying to accuse anybody and was only trying to make an observation the same way Mihai was, so please don't get offended. Also with Kush / Saiyan, that's a ridiculous thing to say that I'm suggesting Kush is behind Saiyan Warriors, especially after he has been on the receiving end of Saiyan in previous seasons.

After a £20 win on Neman vs Vitebsk in the Belarus league yesterday, I'm going run a team in 2-1-1 to join the fun. Although it won't be one that challenges for the title. :)

Nice Gull, are you also in charge of Seagulls in exile? If so would be great to take of Nutter as default tactic.... Mihai got smoked yesterday with injuries.

I wish I just kept my mouth shush and never said this!

Come on guys, let's just forget about it and move on please.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Chili on April 04, 2020, 06:06:52 PM
There is a difference between what Mihai said and what you said. Mihai was the victim of foul play, and tried to get to the bottom of it. Your observations were nothing but targeted what-ifs you brought up simply to get back at Mihai. I get that and you don't know me personally so I can let that slide but the point was that since your observations were based on, well, nothing, you are simply insulting us as people by suggesting we would do that. Mihai wasn't targeting you specifically.

I'm sorry you feel that way, though. I will admit that I would've been surprised too if Mihai were suspicious of me all of a sudden, so I can see where you are coming from. However, I don't like the way you've dealt with it, and I would like for it to stop and for us all to move on. :)

As for Saiyan, I was simply asking why you brought it up. It would indeed be a ridiculous thing to suggest, that's why I'm confused as to why you brought it up.

And thanks for the -1 karma lol (not like it matters but was a nice touch),
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Chipnicker on April 04, 2020, 07:14:23 PM
Nope, I'd still still question it regardless of who you are. You've said Mihai doesn't have access so that's fine, remember I did have the intention to have a team in 2-1-1 at that point. Same with Monkey Hangers, they have 2 teams now in 6-1-1 which means there's also a potential for games to be rigged.

I accept Mihai wanted to get to the bottom of it but he should've have excluded me in his assumptions. I said it wasn't me then Mihai proceeded to claim I did have something to do with it, by saying Seagulls in Exile were online at the same time as my reserve team - so what's he implying there?

Bringing up Saiyan was an attempt at some gallows humour and the reason for it was written below the match links, and was a bit tongue in cheek. I've got -2 karma now, so I'm bringing someone down with me ;-)

In all honesty it takes a special kind of moron to go around injuring peoples teams and I still can't put my finger on why people do it. Jealousy? Boredom? Enjoy annoying people? Bizarre really.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Chili on April 05, 2020, 02:02:19 AM
Not to turn this into an lecture in comedy or anything but 1) know your audience, and 2) be funny. With your reaction to Mihai's "accusation" in mind, that joke was the equivalent of your wife accusing you of cheating on her and it turns out to be a misunderstanding so you clear things up but the next day you walk past a random girl on the street and you go "shes cute, you think im cheating on you with her as well? lol jk". It's a joke done in very poor taste.

What was Mihai supposed to say here? "Yeah, that's so me. I'm just accusing people all day lol, you got me good there, Gull."

We all accepted that it isn't you and we tried to move past it. To continue the analogy, what you are doing now is essentially turning the tables on your wife whenever you get a chance to, accusing her of cheating on you. "Wait, John took your shift at work? Seems fishy, are you cheating on me?"

I'm not going to critique every joke you have ever made or will make in the future but I don't want to keep coming back to this, which is why I'm putting it so bluntly. Those weren't approperiate comments, so please stop trying to justify it and move on with us. Mihai didn't think it was funny, I was annoyed, Kush is on the verge of banning us both for ruining the peace on the forums, Brads is already leaving the game, and I'm sure nobody else wants to see more of it either.

As for your final comment, I'm totally on the same page. I can't relate to them at all. I wouldn't bother creating a team for the sole purpose of making sure one person doesn't win the league. It's genuinely bizarre, it takes a special person to get any satisfaction out of that.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Chipnicker on April 05, 2020, 08:48:00 AM
Chili, once again I'll say it was an attempt at some gallows humour, a lot of jokes between bunches of groups / friends are sarcastic with no malice intended. Apart from the fact that, again, your posts are coming across as extremely patronising your comparing of the situation using relationship analogies I find a bit weird. Can I just reiterate despite not disagreeing with you I've treated you with espect which I don't feel I'm getting in return.

I can we're both as stubborn as each other here so it's an easy decision for me to delete my account - I'm not going to continue to give Kush a headache and I can see that you've all played SL together many years ago, so it's pointless you getting banned as well. To be brutally honest I don't want to risk posting anything you may disagree with as I'll only come under this embarrassing level of scrutiny again. Hopefully with my removal Brads can now make a return.

I'll probably keep my reserve team in Conference 1 rather than returning to 2-1-1, so I'll see you all in the PLs! 8)

lol the last thing I would do is ban anyone but I do want you guys to stop going back and fourth please. It's gone to far now and there is no need for anymore unnecessary comments.

I'm sure Mihai did not know of the connection between Torquay and Brighton and assumed that Seagulls in Exile was an account run by Gull. I for myself, thought exactly the same thing (due to the team name) and when I asked Gull, he said it was not him. Even though Mihai did state he is not accusing anybody, I can understand to why Gull reacted in his way as he feels he is being accused of something he hasn't done. The conversation should have ended when I asked if Gull was in charge in which again he said no. The best thing you both should have done was to PM each other in game first rather than in the forums. Perhaps, I should have PM'ed Seagulls in Exile or even you Gull rather than asking on the forum... I apologise if my comments have caused any stir but that was not my intentions at all and I just want everything to be as fair as possible. You could then say then why didn't I do that against Saiyan? I felt that I had to call them out because it was going on season after season and not just to my team. I gave the benefit of the doubt in the beginning thinking it could have been a mistake etc but it was clearly not when looking at other match reports and they had to be called out.

Let's just move on please and enjoy the rest of the season. I'm chuffed to see that Mihai has finally dropped some points, thanks Peter  8)

If I drop points tonight I can say goodbye to the title.
Your GD is superior Mihai, so I would still need to beat you regardless so aslong as I don't drop any more points, there is still a chance!

Congrats on winning this seasons C2 .... It was a close call until the end of the season. Well deserved mate, you have been stellar this season.
A shame that tonight's game won't mean anything but I will still try to do the double on you as a reminder of what I am capable of  8)
I will be back with a bang next season to reclaim my throne  8)

Thanks buddy ... :)  It's good to win the title right after a comeback

it's was so close, Chili read me, but fortunately my team strength provided me a win in match that I should have lost.

It was a close battle, it was not facile to keep up with you.

Let's hope next season we'll have more teams to fight for the title

the team is pretty well balanced and with your tactical skills I won't be surprised if you clinch the title at the end of the season.

keep up the good work
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Chili on May 13, 2020, 03:20:36 PM
Appreciate it. :) Team isn't looking too bad right now, but reckon it still needs a few seasons to maintain some consistency. I think I'll rack up quite a few draws in Longball games over the course of the season, and I think there a lot of teams that should be capable of taking points off of me if I don't get my tactics right.

Will be tough but I'm down for the challenge. ;D

My goal this season is to win FL4, as for C2 I will have to see where I am around mid-season and take it from there. ;)

Probably right there mate.... Should have lost yesterday against Brads....
Was very very lucky to score an 89th minute goal!

I think I should stop setting up tactics 10 mins before K.O .. It's making me rush!
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Brads on May 21, 2020, 10:09:56 PM
Evening guys hope you are all well!

I went back to work yesterday for the 1st time in 8 weeks and immediately remembered why I left this game  ;D

Setups have more a less been random 2 minute ones, think I managed to set up afternoon games at about 2:55! I even managed to forget about last nights game but fortunately one of the kids woke me at 2am!

Don’t worry I’m not going to give up the ghost yet but I will find it difficult to motivate myself if I end up missing setups that mean I’m not as competitive as I should be I think the last time I left it was because I missed 3 afternoons that cost me a shot at the FL1 title!

Anyway back to business, it’s great to see Chiii has begun to manage to fit setting games up into his schedule (might needs some tips on that pal)

Also it’s really good to see C2 being as strong as it is, I knew it would be tough this season with my mostLy 500 credit 1 season wonders but always thought I’d make the top 6/7 I’ve now decided staying up will be my priority for a couple of seasons!

Right I’ve rambled on long enough now to send you all to sleep so I’ll finish with these wise words
“Stay safe”

Brads

Ps Kush (or anyone with the time to set one up) do you reckon we could get a C2 cup sorted???
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Chili on May 21, 2020, 10:48:34 PM
I'm having some trouble still but I'm opportunities to set up nowadays and now I actually remember to do it. ;D My saving grace is my rubbish sleep schedule, so often I'm able to set up after the night games. In the future I will definitely enter less PLs however, when I first do end up logging in it becomes a bit draining and time consuming. Also last season every day was packed with tournaments (I play games competitively), but these past two weeks have been a bit slower so I've been able to focus on other things.

It doesn't help that this game runs absolutely terribly on tablet and mobile though.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO

Whoever wants to set up a C2 cup can do so.
If you want it free to enter, contact an admin in game and they can change the entry fee to 0.
Not sure if we can get 16 teams but feel free to try.

I feel like I got ripped by the match engine and should have scored atleast 1 goal during my 60mins tactical advantage yesterday.

You should at least score a goal ... that match I should have lost it ...

match engine is weird some times, look at my game against Fc Town of Luton in FL1, I had 45 min tactical advantage and didn't manage to score ...

congrats Brads for the win ... didn't expect that ... 90 min TA  :o :o :o

Thought I was out of it but I reckon I could be back in the title hunt if I can get a win tonight and  if Beticos can make Mihai drop points.

Ivor I am going all out for those 3 points tonight.... I must smash and grab  ;D

Thanks Mihai.
Yes, I'm hoping to make the most of my current team strength before it starts declining soon.

I'm in the transition of changing formations as I've had enough of playing with 4-1-4-1 now. Used it now for 16 seasons and I would like a change.
Going back to the traditional 4-5-1 system but I am also thinking 5-2-3 longball full time but that's no fun ..... lol
So this could be my best chance to win the league this season but still 9 games and all to play for.

I’m a bit gutted that I don’t have time to put into this that I used to and thoroughly research my oppo, can’t get away with an average team and no research against you lot  ;)

I'm happy to give you some pressure in the final game  ;) Nothing new in C2...… mostly always decided at the final hurdle.
Looks like you need a W to secure the title, a draw for you and a win for me and my GD will be slightly higher.

Yea, you three have done really well, I’m just hoping next season I won’t let you down! I don’t know how you manage to do it honestly. Only conceding 1 goal in your group Ivor... It’s safe to say I’ll concede a few more than that!

Going to be an intense end to the season in C2 though.  So many ways it could play out. I can see me losing it at the end. Not the easiest of run ins. Hoping Kush will take something off Mihai, but I can’t see you dropping any more points now Ivor, feel free to prove me wrong though!

It’s going to be tough, Ivor’s goal difference has improved significantly last 3 or 4 games, now it looks like I’ll have to win both my last 2 games.. Unfortunately that’s one of them is again you Mihai and the other is against Betty, who beat me first time round.. So I need to get 6 points in two fixtures I managed 1 point out of in the first half of the season. Still, I suppose, at least it is in my own hands.

So Kush ... neither of us won something from that draw ... maybe Ben and Ivor

the battle will be between you two guys ... let the best team win  8)

Sorry to crush your hopes Mihai... I had absolutely nothing to play more as I am guaranteed 4th but I think it was a fair result looking at the match report.

You can get me back in C1 on the final day and crush my hopes also  ;D

Thank you Ivor, I see you got your goal difference right up to make me need a win! Certainly kept me sweating, thought I was going to lose it on the last day!
Can’t believe I actually did better second half of the season than the first!

Congratulations Kush on C1!

Big Congrats on winning C2 in your debut season Ben.

You defied the odds and you kept on going and it is thoroughly deserved mate.
It's great to see a new team up there winning. Good luck retaining next season, I'll be back with a bang  ;)

Thank you in regarding C1... Incredibly tough conference that is so I'm chuffed to win it  8)

Thank you Kush, yes I’ve set the bar quite high for myself in my first season! It’s going to be a tough ask to do it again, but I’ll certainly give it my best shot! Looking forward to my first go in the UCB & TCL. Along with the CofC.

Yea a lot of good teams in there. Very competitive.

This seasons UCB, we came 4th despite only 3 teams competing for C2.... Beat 4 other conferences and only 9 points of 2nd place C3.

For sure we will be up there performing even better with Ben now.
Your team is still young and is only getting stronger... so if you perform in next seasons UCB like how you performed in C2, you will have no problems  ;)

Roll on next season!
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO

Yea, I’m looking forward to giving it a go!

I have created a C2 cup to be played every 7 days for next season.

It is free to enter and you can join up now.
I have sent the password to over 16 teams in 2-X-X so it is first come first serve.

Thanks and good luck to all for the new upcoming season.

No worries Ben... We haven't had a C2 Cup in a while so hopefully we can get 16 teams ready!

SEVENS TEAMS left for C2 Cup - Any team from 2-X-X can join, so message me for password if you haven't received it already.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: captain_kush on March 01, 2021, 02:16:56 PM
Erm.... 2 teams have joined the C2 cup and are not from 2-X-X ... Very weird how they got the password.

I did send the password to many teams across 2-X-X so unless they changed conferences, I have no idea how they entered?

What should I do?
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: mihai on March 01, 2021, 04:23:52 PM
It seems that  these 3 teams have the same manager : Stevies fc, Joan floor fc    and Mehyians Church.

I guess when you send the password to Joan floor fc , the guy simply entered his other teams perhaps by mistake. He seems to be a new manager, unless we are talking about someone's second, third and fourth teams.

If the others are ok with it and because it's hard to gather again all the teams I will say let the cup as it is now. Those teams will not put up a big fight anyway.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: captain_kush on March 01, 2021, 04:30:07 PM
Thanks Mihai, I did notice a connection between the teams and also Mehyians Church joined the C1 cup.

We was struggling to get past 11 teams so I am more than happy to leave it as it is and hopefully 2 more join up soon.
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO

Nish, I have no problem in you setting up tactics for both your teams in the C2 cup. Your teams are both in 2-X-X so seems fine to me.
If you do end up playing yourself in the latter stages, just make sure to equal tactics :)

I feel I’ve had a pretty poor first half of the season, so happy to be within striking distance of 1st, albeit  with 4 of you in front of me!

Nah Brian, don’t listen to Nish! Put another 17 past him tonight! Then I’ll forgive you for dumping me out of the cup!

Cheers Nish, was a close match as usual.

Very close this season as Ivor said and GD may well be a key factor at the end of the season.
4 of my best midfielders need replacing very soon (they are all maxed in stats) so I need to make this season count :)

No need to say sorry, you had a great debut in the UCB in a very tough group and will only get better :)

Absolutely Ivor. We got over 100 points overall which is still a fantastic achievement.

Need to buy Chris Spartak a ice cold beverage for getting that draw against GSK!

I was in cruise control until the end of the season and I almost bottled it but glad to have held my nerve and retained my title!

I'm sure it will be an epic game tonight. that 1+ GD on your side means you can draw and still win the championship so I have to go all out tonight.
I've had a perfect form in the 2nd half of the season winning 14 out of 14, so hoping the 15th comes tonight  8)

Let the mind games begin :D - I'll be setting up 1minute before KO  ;)

I am disappointed with our UCB results this season.
We could have done much better, I kind of gave up myself once I sealed 1st place in my group but I did do my part as usual  :P
Hopefully next season we can be more consistent with more wins! Ivor and Mihai, you need to step up next season!!!

 Once again, one of my teams had 90 minutes psycho played against them resulting in two players out for the rest of the season. I am getting to the stage that I will alter my opinion about not playing psycho but join the trend and play it for 90 minutes wherever I can. Then see how that goes down with everyone.

A very strange result last night though.
1-8-1 ? and midfielders playing out of position?

I think i tried 1-8-1 once and got trounced, never again.

perhaps Experimental has stumbled onto some formula?

Thoroughly deserved mate, what a strong team you have at the moment. Unlucky on not going undefeated but the main thing is you won the title!

Shambolic match engine, no idea how I draw yesterday, should have won that easily with tactics and my team strength.

Even 2 days ago against Experimental Eleven who uses the same tactics every game, 90mins tactical advantage and only win 2-0 with the 2nd goal coming 3mins before FT. Should be comfortably winning that with atleast 4 goals just like our first game in the division.

Not to mention the amount of awols and injuries recently has been ridiculous. Surprised I didn't get any after last division game. Wish I could say the same for my Gelatos who got absolutely butchered.

What a load of rubbish.

Trying my best to make it as competitive as possible but as you said, my consistency has left me. I think the title is yours to lose now especially if you get the W against Brian tonight but that's always a tough ask but your team is very strong at the moment which is giving us other C2'ers headaches.

Still have to the EC semi and Server Cup Final so season is not over for me yet  8)

Happy to have survived FL1 this season, that win today was just a bonus but the Imps would have won it anyway. To only lose 3 times in FL1 is a great achievement in itself, if only some of your draws were wins.

Good luck for the rest of the season  :)

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO

I will do everything I can to close the door. But plenty of games to go that I could easily drop points in
Brian tonight, white heart lane always have potential to cause a slip. Once I’m past those two, I’ve got a couple of easy games to finish 😉

Good luck in your cups! I’m still going in the champions shield myself, and the FL cup, which you’re also still going in! Maybe see you in the final 🤞

Yeah, crazy amount of draws, probably just my team strength bailing me out of results I should of lost! Still, happy to get through a FL1 campaign with just 3 losses to my name. That’ll take some beating.

Good luck to you too mate, just not when you play me 😊

Commiserations in the CS final. I know how frustrating it can be to lose a major final especially on a golden goal. I've lost myself to Martin in the CS final many seasons back.

Prevents the sub from coming on & being out of position, should one of your players pick up an injury. An injured player carrying on doesn't impact results as much as a player out of position would.

Yes unless your keeper gets injured mid game, screwed regardless as he cant be subbed out and you'll lose the game for sure.

Surprise loss for you the other day Ben but you made it up with a hard fought victory yesterday against Mihai leading by 8 points when it could have been only 2 if you had lost.
Pressure would have certainly been on had that happened.

Fairly straight forward easy win for me yesterday night against the easiest team in the league :D :D :D
Hoping I can stay in the top 4 now!

Yeah, I was desperate not to lose! After letting it get cut to 5 points! Last thing I wanted was to drop to 2. Still, proves nothing is guaranteed, anyone can take points away from me yet. It’d be nice to win it early so I can relax.

That’s it, you don’t want to be running TCL and not qualified!

Thanks Mihai, now my loss against you isn't that bad but you did take my unbeaten streak  >:(

Looks like it may well go to the final day but would be nice if I could stay one point ahead until then so a draw would be enough for me to win it.
I'm sure Ivor will have something to say about that though tonight  :D - Do mix up your attacking positions again pretty please!

Thanks Kush, I thought you were going to have it, was relived to only need a draw on the last day!

Yeah a lot of my teams about to expire, so was really my last season with a shout of winning. I’ll stay in C2 for next season, give you all a chance to do the double over the famous LiveSea! I’ll mix my tactics up a bit though, don’t want to give you a free pass! One of the things I liked about C2, always the chance to lose to most of the teams in the league.
I’ll log in to see if you’re right Kush, if you can run away with it!

I won’t be doing any private league stuff, so you can represent C2 in the CoC Kush.

Great to hear you will be staying in C2 mate, always better and more fun to have competition.
Even though your team will be weakened, I'm sure you will still be up there... Don't you remember your first C2 title win being the underdog with season 2/3 players if I remember correctly?

Good luck in the Champions Shield final :)

Ha, I do remember Kush, I also remember the reality check finishing 5th the next season! Then 4th & 3rd before I actually managed to capture the title again!

Thanks, I’ll need it! Never managed to get over the line.

Only 3 points separating the top 5 after 13 games.

A very competitive season so far, it's good to see it like this :)

45mins tactical advantage yesterday against you Ben but still couldn't get a goal.
Your very lucky I never scored after the 75th when your keeper got Injured. I felt I did enough to nick the 3 points but atleast I got a point which is better than nothing.

Post by: Gull on March 12, 2022, 09:31:30 AM
To be fair, looking at Experimental Eleven's "experiment" everything makes perfect sense about it. The only thing you'd need to worry about is if the formation is effective against other formations (which it appears to be). Majority of players needed to fit the formation are easy to train midfielders - if you can max out a couple of defenders & strikers you're well away, as it's been shown.

Yes, looks like the 1-8-1 can still be effective in conditions where you wouldn't expect it to be as competitive.

Just goes to show that not every formation is useless out there :)
Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: spiteri on March 14, 2022, 02:12:09 PM
Thanks everybody, I somehow managed a perfect second half of the season and managed to pull ahead. 2-1-1 is a tough division.

The idea was to reverse the logic of 5-2-3 longball in all conditions which we have seen to be very effective. So I went 1-8-1 passing. Most of the players were very cheap, although I did splash out on the centre back and an anyside midfielder.

As noticed one of the advantages in having so many midfielders is that they are very easy to train up quickly. Once the squad is strong enough 1-8-1 can definately compete in longball weather. I'm not sure I would use the formation with Floriana but it's definately a viable option.

Very close season so far between the top 4.
Same goals conceded and more or less very similar GD (except for Experimental but I'm sure the rest of us will catch up).

Brad decided to log in and set up against me out of all days haha, knocked a bit of my GD there but happy to have got the 3 points!

Well done in FL1 aswell lads, lets keep it up... Maybe we can get 1st, 2nd and 3rd all from C2.
It's a shame there is no UCB. I reckon we would have been right up there last and this season.

Hi Brad, I know it was not intentional mate and I know you would never do something like that.
What would be dirty is if someone actually set up through default tactics and making sure it doesn't appear that they have done tactics. That did happen to me once in the EC  and I did end up losing.
Your entitled to set up against who you want my friend :)

Also a shout out to Antony in FL1 aswell, to end up were you are after a horrible start is an achievement in itself in my opinion so props to you there bigman!

Unlucky in the EC semi Ivor, you got the toughest draw there was in facing Rich, shame it couldn't be an all C2 final but will try my best to somehow bring the cup back to C2  8)

Yes Mihai, it would have been a bit harsh on you because you lost to me due to a wrong sub which caused an out of position player giving me the advantage.
Even if I won my 2 last division games, I think you would have pipped me with the GD, you scored 18 against LiveSea!

Only lost once out of 6 games against the big 3 in the division so disappointed I ended up in 3rd. Really funny game this, I was only trying properly towards the end of the season when I had chances to win FL1, C2 and get in the EC final. Next time I won't bother, seems I do better when I set up within 2 mins honestly....

Hopefully I can take the EC trophy tonight  ::)

Yeah Ivor, team strength seems to be the main determining factor. The formations and styles do certainly affect results, but if the starting 11 is strong enough the other disadvantages can effectively almost be nullified.

2-1-1 has been fun. But I dont reaaly have the time to give to so many teams, I dont know how Ag and Brian manage it lol. Hopefully Live Sea return at some point.

Well done on the Elite cup Kush, that will certainly soften the league loss!

Not the best way to win it with the golden goal, but of course I take it and I had slightly more tactical advantage so not complete luck with the golden goal.

Very sad to hear you will be leaving C2 Antony, always a pleasure competing with you and hopefully you come back to C2 sometime.
That 1-8-1 can be a dangerous formation at times that's for sure! C2 surely weakened now with you leaving and LiveSea going AWOL.

Thanks Mihai and you also have my word on not playing psycho either.
Another draw yesterday, I really should have lost. Not to sure what has happened to me but it seems I may have bottled it again lol.
Your in the driving spot now Mihai, you've done remarkably well to catch up - Good luck my friend :)

Thanks Mihai, it was a great battle until the end.... I thought my chances were gone after those draws and you took 1st but I managed to pull through.

Nice to finally win C2 again, it has been a while and now gives me a chance of trying to win the Champions Shield next season.

Best of luck tonight Mihai, I am not expecting a similar scoreline. I forgot to rehab yesterday, I got very lucky with no awols today.
Sorry for the injured player with a broken leg.

May the best man win tonight  :)

Well done mate, you deserved it at the end. I feel it for Andy who was doing so well until the freeze screwed the moment up surely...
You deserve at least 2nd for sure but sorry mate I will try to pip you for it :)

We meet in another major final Mihai, sorry bro but the CS is coming to C2 this season, only trophy I need for my cabinet and I've completed this game :)

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Brads on October 05, 2022, 04:48:31 PM
Gents can someone explain to me the benefit behind using subs at ko??

Looking at last nights result, which under usual circumstances I would think is a perfectly fair result but then you look at it and an injured keeper and playing with 9 men for the last 24 minutes I would’ve expected to score despite the TA!
Does it not take injuries into consideration when you have no subs left and just presumes the player carries on or is it purely because of team strength and TA countering having 9 men

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: Gull on October 05, 2022, 07:15:24 PM
Subs at the beginning of games has been around for a while, Brads.

Two reasons:

1. An injured player(s) rarely affect results
2. A player out of position will almost always affect results

If three subs are made at KO this will eliminate the chance of an out of position player getting subbed on.

Long term injuries to GKs sustained during the game can affect results, although on this occasion Mihai's GK picked up a 1 week injury which wasn't severe enough to have a negative impact on his performance.

Title: Re: CONFERENCE TWO
Post by: mihai on October 05, 2022, 07:31:46 PM
Gull is right Brads ... good game by the way ... it's nice to see you back

You can always use a player with one week injury instead of a player out of his position.

Thanks for the in-depth explanation pal

I bet it’s been a good 5-6 years since I last tried to play this game seriously, it’s nice to know that after what….20 odd years there’s still little quirks being found!

I seem to be finding all sorts of weird things now I’m studying games again.
The last time i played seriously it was 451 or 523 and every other formation was considered a waste of time! I now see that players have experimented with and been successful with all sorts of formations, makes the game interesting again!

Mihai it’s nice to be back and interested in the game again rather than just coming back to catch up with everyone, hope to battling at the top again soon like the good old days  ;)

Interesting choice of formation Marv, I remember using the same many years ago on one of my alt accounts but sadly I can not remember how it performed.

I'm sure you already know it's all about building a very strong attributed team but recently there have been certain formations that have also performed and correlated well with a strong attributed team.

Antony performed exceptionally well with his Experimental team winning C2 2 seasons in a row with a 1-8-1 formation a few seasons back. I do feel there are some formations out there that will definitely effect results even with a strong team because that formation is just pure rubbish but I'm more than sure there are also a few hidden gems that have not been tried yet.

Not surprised 4-1-3-1-1 does well, pretty much a 4-5-1. Can see Christmas Tree formation being alright actually, 4 defenders and 5 midfielders in that one too.

Post by: Marv999 on October 28, 2022, 04:01:35 PM
Fingers crossed anyway. We can only hope. Back in the day I ran 352 attacking and had decent success with that. And later towards the end i did try 253 before it got as popular as it is now, but could never get it to work, even with the advantage of almost perfect gelling and morale every game.

Spiteri does amazing with 41311 and I've heard about him winning 211 with 181 aswell. And I mean, if that can win conferences then I'm sure any formation can!

I appreciate its pretty much about stats now from what I'm hearing. You have the best players it's not necessarily what formation you play, your in with a pretty good shout.

I was going to try 3412 coming back but essentially I'm hoping Xmas tree won't be terrible. 4 at the back and 5 midfielders too so we shall see.

I'll be honest though, my gut tells me it won't work out as strong as other formations... but still... 181?! That gives me hope haha  ;D

Nice to see a familiar face back Marv. I tried 3412 the last time I returned and it didn't work out too well for me - it could have just been my players but I seemed to really struggle.

Thanks Chazz. Good to see you again bud. Can't believe how any names I still remember. Credit to you guys for being on here for all this time.

Always find my way back. This is stint number 3 I think. Spiteri always manages to get me back somehow lol.

To be honest I probably should have picked a nice safe easy formation coming back but part of me wanted to experiment and hopefully find something different that worked.

If all else fails I can revert to something more mainstream but I like the idea of making something unique work.

Can't remember the name of the team back in the day but the made either 23212 or 31312 work and it amazed me. Now spiteri has done things with 181 and 41311. There are some out there that can be useable for sure with the right players and stats

Finishing unbeaten or even winning 30/30 games was always an incredibly tough ask....
Main objective is to win the league at any cost for sure.

My wonder keeper has started to decline now (great time after facing all of you :D) and soon to be my main striker so no dominance next season that's for sure!

It has been a great season from my boys, was not expecting it to be that one sided, probably my best ever season in C2.

My team was around 795 until last week where my wonder keeper has finally started to decline (got him to 758 overall I think it was).
My wonder striker will also be expiring any moment now. I have decent replacements in the reserves but I will be weaker for sure, pushing around 780ish for the beginning of next season.
Still pretty strong but for sure next season will be much harder and close as usual.

Solid work, kush. I'll be up there soon hopefully to join the fun. Finding it hard to grab 20 players on the market though!

Thanks Marv. I am looking forward to seeing you in C2 competing with us.

The TM is still a pain but it was way worse a few months back, it has slightly settled down but still the probability of you getting a wonder player is at a minimal and it will really still cost you the same as always 10K. Problem was that normal (sometimes with mediocre stats) and high aged players were also going for that price which was pretty ridiculous.

congrats Kush , a well deserved title !! 8)

Thanks Mihai.

Well done on winning C3 ;)

Thanks Kush ... I'm kind of sad because I've slipped the opportunity to win the managers' table after I lost the last game of the season. You also missed that with Kushberry

I saw that mate unlucky, that could have been a nice extra 5K in your account.
I was also trying for first, I have never been 1st before and it is probably the only thing I am missing to do in SL but it was not meant to be.
I'll be hoping to meet Great Yarmouth Town once again in the Champions Shield final and give you another drubbing :D :D :D .... Seriously though, they look like a very strong team at the moment!

Congratulations Kush,

Dominant performance to win the league by miles,

Cheers

Deca

Thank you Deca!
When are we going to see the mighty Deca take SL seriously again? I hope soon  8)
Come on my friend, get back to 800+... That's easy work for you, in my opinion you and Nij are the best at training players.

It's difficult to buy decent players on the transfer list nowadays

They don't come around very often, and when they do there is about 20 bids :-)

All the best guys for the new season

I'm on 790 at the moment... If only I still had my super keeper, I'd be invincible.

Surprised my main central striker has not started to decline, was expecting it to happen by now but when he does, I will drop down slightly but will still be 780+

Tough season this one.... All teams have dropped points already.

Lots of depth in this conference now, I think it could be on par if not harder than C1 soon.

Still getting some solid victories there mate, I see that W against the mighty Borg today.

I need to get tactics spot on tonight, I've been hit with injuries and 4 of my first 11 are out so you have a good chance.

Good luck mate, should be an interesting match  8)

Glad to hear all is well mate.

Don't blame you for losing interest, I'm sure you would have lost anyway regardless of setting up or not  ;D ;D

But in all seriousness, I hope the spark comes back... I am going to try some new formations just to give myself a new challenge.

Mihai in the driving spot now, 4 points ahead but still a lot of games to play.
Not sure what has happened to me this season, not having the best results even though team is pretty strong at the moment.
Hoping to have a strong finish to the season putting pressure on Mihai :)

Pretty gutted that my chance of the title was destroyed by an Xmas weekend away lol

Pretty sure my 40th birthday will make a mess of next season aswell!

I suppose as we grow up our priorities change, this place used to be my home away from home!
Now it’s a place where I catch up with old friends!
Don’t worry this isn’t me signing out as I still enjoy the challenge, maybe even more so knowing I’ll throw away points recklessly  ;D
This conference for me is still the toughest to win but also with several top managers in the most forgiving, losing 3 or 4 games isn’t the end of your title chances which is a great thing for me as I throw points points away like confetti

Good luck for the rest of the season everyone x

Well done on the victory last night Ivor, well deserved mate.

Let's see if you can hold your nerve, you have had an excellent season so far.
The exact same can be said about Brads, would be very painful to remain undefeated the whole season yet lose out on the title.
I hope I don't spoil the party tonight  :)

It's nice to see Ivor finally back at the top spot and Brads chasing right behind, perhaps a new rivalry has been established for many seasons to come.
me and Mihai fighting each other for top spot last 4 seasons I think... We need a break, well I certainly do anyway  ;D

Best of luck guys!

Hopefully be back towards the end of the year if the fire is back.
I will try get a caretaker for Kushberry, try to keep C2 as competitive as it can be but if not possible, I will drop down to the lower leagues.

Thanks Kush, Mihai.

I needed atleast 4/6 points (ideally 6/6) last couple of games to have any chance of catching up and sneaking the title but I only got 1 point :D :D

Unlucky to Ivor, who was on top for the majority of the season but had the Kush Syndrome towards the end :(
I'm sure you will be battling for that top spot again next season :)

Good luck to all, my Caretaker is now taking over. He has full access and I have given him permission to do what he wants but I do hope he does stay in C2.

Dead this season already. Lost against kush with a dodgy result and then lose to white Hart Lane who I think I've never dropped points against and have much better team stats and get trounced with near perfect tactics against, and get another injury to a strong player. Get this season over with quick ::)

It’s still early mate, but it’s a very tough league this season, the fact you and Rebel Rovers have been fighting from relegation zone shows how tough this league is, even West Warriors and Bella Athletic we could lose points against, it’s a very tough league and I look forward to seeing how it looks mid season, your active so I believe you will turn it around and others will make a few mistakes *cough *cough #BALDBEAN  ;D ;D ;D

Apologies for my sudden disappearance but unfortunately the real world has a tendency of throwing the odd spanner around, which coupled with my need for a rebuild made this place seem more like a chore than the fun it should be!
