MadDog Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Chances of this quote being pulled over to the football thread? High. I've always been a bad loser. I've always maintained it's impossible to be competitive and not be a bad loser, it just doesn't always show. :p
The Peeps Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Well played @Haden - although I'm sure you'd have preferred to score more Boring game though! Especially first half, haha. Haslop was lucky to stay on the field since he was booked for stamping... My team ratings are always really low... is that down to the skill levels of my players? Or are there other factors? I'm assuming that's the case since I play a lot of youth most of the time. Players with form levels at 10/11 should play to their own skill level. If they have below that, they'll play worse - but if they're above they'll play better obviously :p There's also a negative impact on team performance if your average ages are below 26. I think the numbers are 26-29 for good performance and anything below or above that will result in a decrease of team performance depending how far away you are from it. So if you play youth and they're on low form, they're not going to play very well.
Aqui1a Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Played too many youngsters. I don't get how i could possibly create only 1 chance to his 10 when my midfield and attack were better than his? Oh wait, it's because my defence rating was shit. Logic. I'm a bad loser. There was never a doubt that your team would play to a higher level than mine... :P But then, that's why the game has tictacs! If it was just 'whose team is strongest?' then you'd have won, but it isn't. xD

Ellmeister Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Screw you Tree lover! Lost it in the 87 minute. I believe I've played the hardest teams pretty much now so hopefully able to collect some points to keep me from the drop! Think I've not played my strongest team enough times and focused on sneaking in younger players a bit too much and it has cost a few points here and there.
The Peeps Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Alliances Eights United, AC Elites, Bayer Neverlusen: 21 Intergalactico Stars, Fedex United, Leeds M.O.T: 20 Madpool, Hadens Rangers and Recall United: 17 Real Peeps, Coloccini FC and Andys All Stars: 13 Spotlight The Spotlight this week was on Winston Gardens vs AC Elites. Players were to predict the outcome and how many players aged under 25 would play. The actual result was 12 under 25s (going with original line-ups) and 3-2 to Gardens and we had great participation this week so thank you... but there can be only one winner and the closest was bob with his guess of 3-1 and 11 under 25s. Spotlight winners: Week 1 - Intergalactico Stars Week 2 - Atlético Aqui1a Week 3 - Intergalactico Stars Week 4 - Leeds M.O.T Week 5 - bob Week 6 - bob

Yeah, my average age for my last starting 11 was crazy. I think it was 19 or there abouts! haha oops.
Fierce_LiNk Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 I'm predicting a 27-3 loss for DRAGOOOOO today. We will surely get beaten. Plus, my mans haven't eaten their Weetabix this morning.
bob Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Screw you guys betting against me! This would only be a valid rage had you actually won. The results proves that we were all perfectly correct in betting against you...
Lucas3693 Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Beat Bayer 3-1 to go 8 points clear and extend my winning run to 6. 7 players in the xpert 11 as well. MOT
Fierce_LiNk Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Did well and got myself a draw! 1-1 away from home, considering I lost at home 3-1, I'll take that. Got a selection headache against Coloccini. One of my three best midfielders is injured and another is banned. I had a similar problem earlier in the season against the same opposition, so that match will probably end in a draw or a loss, too. A win would put Dragooooo on 22 and keep Coloccini on 15, with 4 games to go after that. I'd be feeling confident about staying up if I could win that game.
Rowan Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Relegation dogfight in the elite league getting interesting.
Tales Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Back on top! With the tough phase over, I should be able to hold on to the first spot out the season. Only significant match left would be away against 64s but even that I should easily win. Title is mine to lose now. Relegation dogfight in the elite league getting interesting. I hope you make it. Your team getting relegated doesn't feel right.
bob Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 I remembered tactics, and felt all proud when i won, but then realised that Bubbles FC hasn't logged in since January #Hollowvictory #I'lltakeitanyway #Flinkloveshashtags
Ellmeister Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 My win has kept the middle league interesting! Some good teams in the middle league that with some improvement could unbalance the top league soon!
Tales Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Oh i forgot tactics again. Is actually the truth. Kinda irrelevant don't you think :p

I love hashtags as much as Dragooooo loves the Ell. 'ELL NO!
Ellmeister Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Also, did anyone else get an email about being kicked out of a team for inactivity? I got one for my main Xpertleague team and was honestly horrified that I had been kicked out. I've been through too much with that team and built them up from being minnows! Think I vest too much emotion into this little game :p
MadDog Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Kinda irrelevant don't you think :p I set a 500k win bonus for every game, that alone would have made a difference.

It's unfortunate for you that they miss the game again! Was it both those players last time too that missed our match? Anyway, I'm terrible away from home, so we'll see how it goes, but can only see it being a home win to be honest! I'll be heading to the lower league soon enough anyway

I'll be heading to the lower league soon enough anyway I think it was Benny and Daan last time round. This time, it's Ernesto and Daan. It'll be a close game, I reckon another draw. 2-2 seems about right. You could still stay up. There's about 3 or 4 other teams who could go down, it's all very tight. It'll be a shame for the one who does, because it's been close. Enjoyable. Pretty sure whoever goes down will just bounce back up the season after.
Tales Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Ah nice one, cheers! Yeah, my average age for my last starting 11 was crazy. I think it was 19 or there abouts! haha oops. By the way, it is the starting eleven that counts for the average age. Until they change it, you can sub in younger players and bench the older players without any penalty from the new average age.
