Mr_Odwin Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Ah crap! I've not finished my transfer dealings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haden Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Ah crap! I've not finished my transfer dealings! Oh god sorry I thought a week would be enough. I have a few to sort out to but then again I have a game off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuD Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I'm in minus econs so i guess i'm finished with transfers (apart from selling). Forms pretty bad at the moment though so unless everyone's form is shit i could be looking at a very poor start... oh well.. it'll be good to be playing again.

Happenstance Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I would have to start off against Oddy. Oh well, may as well see how well I do against him straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Odwin Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 My form is terrible and my team is in the middle of a transfer operation. I expect relegation this season. Staying up will be a miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haden Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 The starting form of a player that is new to the sqaud either just brought or promoted from youth, is this any indication of his form tendancies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Cool, was wondering when the next season was going to start. Am looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Mcoy Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) Mcoy's first game is against his friend which is not desirable as it could end up with embaressment! Mcoy is in good form, transfers are completed and 90% of players in top form for the first match of the season. Mcoy's predictions for the season Aficionados will be close with contenders Haden, Roostophe Rovers. League one will have Dyson (if he plays) Emo and Recall looking for promotion spots while Dud's, Madpool and Soap Box may be in for a fight against relegation. League two should be interesting with Mcoy, Domestercool, Cubic, Ed and Eights all looking for a promotion. There are also a few teams who we do not know what will be like yet.

jayseven Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 No. Soap Box won't be fighting relegation, they'll be settling for mid-table easy. I think Mundi, Rowan and Dyson have the strongest chance for promotion. Odwin back in teh big league is like juventus making their way back into Serie A - there'll be a lot of people who will see a win over him equalling a title championship :P Should be interesting to see. This season the lower league will have more active members fighting out for promotion - I think that'll be an interesting one to watch! Personally I think I should be able to manage survival in this league, but will likely fight relegation again. Side-note; I'm establishing a new league with my housemates and a few other amigos! I, of course, predict that I shall win this league outright with no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuD Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) I can't see Recall being up in the promotion places, but then again i didn't see Cubic getting relegated last season. I reckon Jay's called the promotion places right. Not sure about relegation.. i'll probably be in the scrap again, but hopefully i'll be able to survive again. :EDIT: Having just looked at his team, i wouldn't write Shorty's promotion chances off.

Shorty Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 On an unrelated-ish note, globin. Can any X11 experts tell me, how long is there normally between a season and a cup when you start the season as "season with cup"? I find the administration of a league on X11 confusing, there are not enough administrative screens and controls etc. On a more related note, I am looking forward to this season should be a good challenge.

Mr_Odwin Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 As admin you have to "start the cup" after you have started the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 That's what I read on the rules... it said go to "League Info" then start cup, but there's no link there. Does that mean I've done it already (and presumably forgotten) or I'm too late? We just had the last match of our first season yesterday. If I'd already done it, would the first round fixtures be up already? Thanks for the help, and sorry to hijack the thread a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Looking through the teams this season, im thinking its gonna be a very tough league. Very possible i'll be fighting against relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellmeister Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I think it will be harder to get points than last year but I believe I should end up just above relegation! With Odwinicas, Noodleman and possibly ReZ all going down again! Sorry fellas, just a prediction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It runs alongside the league matches. You can't have a cup between league seasons. You'd have one league match and one cup match per week. You can fit two cups into one league season generally, because the league takes so long playing just one match a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haden Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 This thread seems almost eerily quiet. I can't wait for tom and I only have a friendly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuD Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'm predicting a loss for me with my form. I'm glad I've got Silverdale as opposed to one of the teams i should really be beating. If i get a point i'll be a happy bunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Mcoy Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Mcoy is actually quite nervous about tomorrows game. Mcoy's team, form and experience are all top notch and he is playing at home. But facing a new club and Mcoy's awful trend last season he can't help but feel a bit apprehensive about playing ANYONE let alone a new team.

jayseven Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 DuD - having just scoped out my opponents for tomorrow, I have to agree! I am ready for the sadness. We've played 6 times before and I've only won one of them (though the last two times we played I won and drew!). SUPPOSEDLY my team is currently stronger, but I currently have an extreme lack of confidence in my players. Midleague predictions this week; Shorty, Mundi, Rowan and Twozzok to win.

Jimbob Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'm giving my new Striker a starting place against Tin Can tomorrow, see how he gets on. Other than that, i'm looking forward to the new season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Midleague predictions this week; Shorty, Mundi, Rowan and Twozzok to win. That's a bit pessimistic for your first match! If you take that approach you'll never be #1... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
