Rowan Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 With 4 games to go, 6 teams are still trying to avoid relegation in the top league with 2 spots still yet to be determined. Fortunately I'm at home for the last 3 games of the season but it's going to be very close.
DuD Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I think with my run in and the fact I'm unwilling to compromise on DV.. 2 of those relegation places have been decided
Zell Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 I knew I would lose to Tales, but I gave it a go. I basically have to win all my games now or hope that someone does me a favour.
bob Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 I'm starting to believe i might be able to stay up! 6 points above the relegation zone with 3 games to play...unfortunately one of my strikers got injured, but luckily my defenders started scoring in the last game, so all is not lost.
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 We needed to win today to stay up. In the end, we lost and are bottom of the league. I had anticipated this would happen at the start of the season, there's just too many youngsters in the squad at the moment. Down to Lower League I go, where there's no pressure of relegation.
bob Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Also, i was browsing the team rankings page, and look at what i found: Check out team BuBic! This is us (go to 0.58 seconds (ignore the spanish)):
Charlie Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Today's win means relegation is now impossible. Promotion is touch and go, although I'm in 2nd I'm onyl 4 points away from 6th. Peeps is running away with the title.
The Peeps Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 I need four points to be completely safe but three might see me win on goal difference. I do kind of want that prize money.
Charlie Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Finally, manager of the round. I don't know what you need to do to get that. I've had games where I've won 7-0 and had the majority of the X11 and still haven't won it!
Tales Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 I guess it's just the tactics. Not long ago someone lost 5-3 away to a relegation candidate and got the manager of the round. I don't know if it plays any role, but the ground you play on, the strength and position of the opponent, both current and past and the score should have an effect on who is the manager of the round.
Rowan Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Happy to take a point away at Madpool. Derby day next:D
Ellmeister Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 A respectable 1-1 against Intergalatico - think my defenders starting to work better together, can hopefully improve for next season!
Nikos9 Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Greetings Fedex Utd and welcome to the Inter View. Thank you for participating and sparing a bit of time on Wimbledon final day to answer questions. In an ideal world you'd be celebrating the win of your close friend Roger Federer right about now but you can't have it all. Anyway, back to business... Question 1) Speaking of celebrating, you're the strongest team on paper in the bottom league but sit 4th at present, can you see your hand being raised in celebration due to promotion come the end of the season? If so how are you going to pull it off? FedEx United are at present in direct competition with Recall United for that all important third placed finish. At this stage it is too close to call and rather like the Ashes today it may go right down to the wire. The club will continue investing in its training programme to help boost skill and form and we wait with baited breath as the tension mounts for the last few weeks of the season. Question 2) Tell us a bit about the history of Fedex Utd, where you came from, what your achievements have been, future plans and aspirations for the team and squad etc. How is old Rog by the way? FedEx United came to fruition as a result of my love for all things tennis and the name derived itself from the greatest player ever to have picked up a racket the legend that is Roger Federer. Over the past few seasons the club has both over achieved and more recently under achieved so consistency until the end of the season will be key to securing a successful promotion to the second tier. My future aspirations are to secure the services of a second goal keeper when the window opens and also to encourage new blood in the form of young talent from the youth academy to build stability and success. Question 3) Looking at your squad, we've seen a Roddick in your team in the past who scored 10 goals and got 4 assists for you from midfield, keeping with the tennis is there a chance we could see a Mr. Federer being introduced into your youth academy at some point? Also, you have six strikers at your club whereas most have 3 or 4, some even cope well with two, do you not find that having six is more of a hindrance given that they won't all get the necessary game time to develop and skill up? We may see a future Federer but you will have to watch this space. I plan to be selective with my strikers next season as I probably over indulged on them this time around. Any final words... That is all for now. Apologies for the time delay of a week between the questions and answers but you probably worked that one out with the references to the Wimbledon final last Sunday and Ashes today. Good luck to you Mr FedEx and I look forward to seeing these products of your prestigious youth academy. The Inter View list:- 1. Haden 2. Coloccini 3. Madpool 4. Peeps 5. Eights (awaiting answers) 6. Balbuzards 7. Co-op 8. Fedex 9. Recall 10. bob 11. Cubic 12. Valyrian Steelers (Alliance)
bob Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Kippen FC will not field a weakened side. bob FC suggests that whatever side Kipper FC field, it will not stop an ass-whuppin'.
Tales Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 If he stays another two seasons at least I think he can actually reach 100 yellow cards.
bob Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Well dang. Oh well, i chuckled at the fact that Kipper set their aggression to 'bruise' and only ended up in injuring two of their own players. Whoopsie! I'm firmly back in the relegation battle now. Annoyingly everyone below me either won or drew MAKING THE MATHS A LOT HARDER.
Haden Posted July 16, 2013 Author Posted July 16, 2013 Yellow vs Eights is going to the last game now whatever happens on Friday so good :p
Charlie Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 I'm pretty much assured of promotion now as 4th and 5th are playing each other next round. 4 points ahead of 3rd but still have 3rd and 1st to play...
The Peeps Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 My team played like shit today for no reason. I hate when Xpert does that. They all had high form but most played below their skill level.
Charlie Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 My team played like shit today for no reason. I hate when Xpert does that. They all had high form but most played below their skill level. He guessed your tactics right. That counts for a lot.
The Peeps Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Yeah but not usually that much in my experience I guess I was fielding a weaker team than normal too though. Still a good win and well played to Co-op.
