Boards.ie Fifa 2009 League Results [Gameweek 3]

FutureGuy

Please post all gameweek 3 results here. Also, please link any goal of the month youtube videos right here!!!

Gameweek consists of 6 games. I strongly recommend that everyone have 15 games played by the end of Gameweek 3, so I can do fixtures for gameweek 4.

Axwell

Irish Wolverine vs Reganoski
Liverpool vs Liverpool
2-2

After some trouble getting started Irish Wolverines league campaign began. An early goal by the opposition dampended spirits when Torres got a break and scored. Gerrard came close shortly after with a belter of a free kick taking a lick of paint off one of the posts. Another goal meant at half time it was 2-0 to the away team, a few subs and a bit of magic and Kuyt brought the home side back in to it to 2-1. The pressure was on the away team to keep the lead and they eventually crumbled in the 90th minute (sorry ) with a poachers goal from Torres after the keeper spilled a shot. In the end a fair result for both sides at 2-2.

Can those that played Soby (i think thats his name make sure to post their results as i took his place and the league standings need to reflect this. Cheers

Also im behind on the number of games so anyone looking to get their games in give me a shout!

gaz15

I have played 14 games so far including playing SOBY record so far would be won:11 drew:2 lost:1

Scored 46 goals according to my stats but sadly no clue as to how many I have let in....

FutureGuy

Week 3 so far

Irish Wolverine 1 - 0 CKWPORT
Liverpool V Chelsea

Garlball1 4 - 0 CKWPORT
Man Utd V Chelsea

Ronburgendee 3 - 2 CKWPORT
Barcelona V Chelsea

Absoutlely brilliant game against Ronburgendee. I was trying my best to get a third goal in the end to level it up, there were a few close ones but it wasnt to be, still twas a great game.

Y2J_MUFC

Jesus, its going to be a squeeze to get in 6 games this week. Heading to Manchester for the Sunderland game on Thursday and won't be back until the following Tuesday. I got loads of invites on Saturday but seeing as I was drinking I decided against accepting them

Same as that!

Bubs101

Udinese 5 - 0 Liverpool (rainyface)

When things go right, they go right. Quagliarella got 2 with one for Pepe, Sanchez and Di Natale as Liverpool just couldn't cope with Udinese's tridents and failed to take advantage of Lukovic's crapness

Y2J_MUFC

Garball1 1-6 RichieMUFC
Manchester United vs Manchester United

Quite a good game, I got 3 late goals to bit of gloss on it, but it was a good match all the same. Anderson sent off late for a second bookable offense but it was two harmless enough tackles from Garball! Good game, I didn't really getting going for the first 20 mins or so because he was pretty much on the front foot.

Bubs101

Dave7G 1-6 Bubs101
Arsenal vs. Udinese

God I love not playing United. Despite scoring probably the best goal in the third minute I've seen so far with two wondeful passes and a great shot Arsenal crumbled to udinese's slick fast passing game with Sergio Pepe getting a hatrick and Quaglierella popping in two

Y2J_MUFC

DaveG 3-0 RichieMUFC
Arsenal vs Manchester United

I was 3-0 up, had hit the post three times, had 10 shots to 0 then boom, my internet connection went.

****ing load of cock. Came back 30 seconds later. Oh well, thats my league well and truly ****ed up.

There are some seriously good players. I've lost 7 times iifc, and I haven't even played any of the big 3 (I think).

But even if I am getting hockeyed, I'm enjoying it none-the-less. I have learned alot about how ready good players ply their trade. This will make me a better player for next years Championship (I'm realistic!)

RichieMUFC 13-0 The Batman IRL
Manchester United vs Chelsea

Can't say much about this game really. I was still seeing every shade of red from losing connection during a nailed on win from earlier.

I think it summed up my game when I took a quick short throw to Vidic, it hit him on the head and he fell over. Good game though. Not sure how you managed it but your Vidic outran my Ronaldo every time. Fair play!

Which just about sums it up. You need Man United defenders to defend against Man united Attackers.

This league table as it stands is not a true representation of the skill level of players. It is mostly made up of those who chose Man U and below them, those who didn't choose Man U.

Players that play as Man U have such an advantage over lesser teams (ABU) that they are almost guaranteed a win, irrespective of their skill level (almost). I also think that the new premier league will be made up of Man U players while the rest of us non Man U's make up the championship.

Just my 2c or a disgruntled rant, call it what you will
PLEASE BAN MAN U FROM ANY FUTURE LEAGUES

I have to say I am really looking forward to next season when the ManUs have to pick a lesser team. At the minute I am enjoying every game that does not include ManU. My main objective at this stage is to finish in the top half and hopefully next season will be a different story.

I'm still in shock after beating you! It makes it even better to know that if was your first real defeat since the last one was a connection problem!!

Your Vidic wasn't having the best game, I think I took his power an added it to my Vidic, it was hilarious when you passed the ball or I might have played an over the top ball but it hit Vidic on the head and skimmed on through to my player, good save in the end!!

Teams next year are unique. There will be 1 Man United team next year, and it will almost certainly be chosen by the player who finishes bottom of this years league.

That's rubbish in fairness. I've played 5-6 other Uniteds and this is the first game I've lost. I didn't lose because he was United, I lost because he played better than me. I never got going at all, so fair play to him. No point in hiding behind excuses.

If you are losing by 6-7 goals or more, it can't ALL be because of the teams (unless you are Udinese or Spurs). Don't flog a dead horse and don't make excuses. If the league isn't representative of skill level, you will obviously finish much higher next season when the top ranked players are handicapped by team choice where as you get a much better team if you finish lower down. You should find it easy to finish well above us all if you are a better player and have a better team....

I have to disagree with both points here...

1) I have played against Aston Villa, Bayerm Munich and even Reading, and they all kept clean sheets. There isnt a whole lot of difference between an "87" attack and an "83" defense. It depends completely on the player at the helm. Very good players will anticipate moves and will cut out any danger before Ronaldo et al. can get their running boots on. And they can do that regardless of what team they use.

2) I think thats unfair to the people doing well in the league. I have played 15, won 5, lost 8 and drawn 2. I also play Man United, but I am not a great player. By your logic, I should have won most of my games. I guarantee if you gave a weaker team to the likes of Y2J, they would still beat people, because they are excellent at the game, not because they chose United. If he had chosen Chelsea, he would still be hockeying people, but noone would be complaining about it.

Guys, we are almost halfway through the league, and I have to say that, apart from Soby quitting, it has gone quite smoothly. Thats because the players are a good bunch . Lets keep it up, play our games in good spirit and get ready for the big leagues next year...and the Boards Cup...opps, I think I let something slip Hmm I wonder what happens the the divide between the Premiership and Championship comes down and the big guns take on the minnows What sort of shocks are we going to see???

I played against some lad who was England (Wright-Phillips, Lennon on the wings, Walcott & Owen up front) and I was Ireland (O'Shea, Dunne, Kilbane, McShane at the back).

So I was basically a team of Michelin men, and he was a team of Usain Bolts and Ireland won. Obviously its going to be harder if you are up against an even or better player, but my point is that its not all about speed and its not all about team choice.

I'll play against you again.... you can be United and I'll be Milan, and I won't lose 10-1. Or you can be United and I'll be Sunderland...I'm not having a go and I'm not waving a result in your face, but to be fair I just want to show that your point is wrong.

Its not all about team choice for everyone bar 2 people in the league.

I've played you twice, once in the league and once in a friendly, you hammered me both times with Man U.

I think the result would be the exact same if you had a half star team.

Everyone seriously needs to get over the whole Man Utd thing!!!!

it's rubbish to say that lesser players will beat better players because they are Man Utd!

I'm looking forward to the next season when a few people will have to eat humble pie as the players now at the top will probably be playing with the likes of West Brom, West Ham et al and will still show that they are superior players! Future Guy proved this fact by his record in the league and he is Man Utd (No offense Future Guy )

My xbox live record is 200 odd wins and 80 losses and i rarely go man utd. If someone picks villa i go portsmouth, if someone picks Arsenal i go spurs. thats the way i like to play to keep it on an even playing field so i have experience of playing with nearly every premier league club and still maintain a good win to loss ratio.

Always happy to buck the trend cadogs I know I'm destined for a 13th-14th place finish but I'll have learned alot about how the top players play, so I'm hoping for as promotion to the premier league in season 3!

Who's gonna be on tonight? I've got 5 games left this week and need to get them done today.

FutureGuy

There are a few people struggling to play games this week...I propose a Fifa 09 evening between 6 pm and 11 pm tonight.

If you have games to play, get online and start cracking skulls etc

I have my 15 played already so I may be on for a few friendlies.

Y2J, I'm interested in seeing firsthand how you get to double digits in 14 minutes...up for a friendly game later?

Lucious Sweet

Keep yer Mercurial Vapor IV's on lads.
All I am saying is Man U are better than any other team (FACT) and players that play as them have an advantage over the rest. I'm not saying Y2J_MUFC et al would not be top of the league if they were Stoke or Hull. They probably would be, but they wouldn't be hammering people by 10 goals per game!

I know I'm ****e and I have no illusions about finishing in the top 10 or anything like that. I play this league because I enjoy the game and the banter with ye all. It's deadly craic. BUT.... it can be demoralising when despite all of your hard efforts, ronaldo runs by two of your defenders, shoots at will and scores, several times during a game.

Nothing personal lads, just my opinion and roll on the leagues proper.

btw I'm a Man U supporter :rolleyes:

But fair play to him, he gave me a few decent tips afterwards, that i will try in my next games and see how it goes. Cheers Y2J.

My heaviest defeat was 7-0 by Inter a few games into my Fifa 09 comeback...I want to see how he is winning by double digit scores on a consistant basis Apart from being an obvioulsy excellent player!

No worries, you were what, 13-0 down and you didn't quit... that takes real balls.

Sure FutureGuy, I'll be on tonight, happy to play a few friendlies. Our game was close enough if I remember, so don't expect me to run riot!!

Looks like I'm going to have to come out on top in all the "50-50" battles against Mordant Shaun, GREENHAWK 88, marshjem (and company!!!!!) thanks to that stupid connection problem defeat and the actual defeat I'm in bad shape now!

In the last week we should have all the lads at the top playing each other, if it can be worked out like that, it would be class!

Which just about sums it up. You need Man United defenders to defend against Man united Attackers.

I 100% agree. I don't really have that much of a problem with it anymore because I've already played 7 Man utd's so how many can there be left but I've lost 6 of those matches and in my non Man Utd matches I've won 2 and drew the other (I think). I demolished Arsenal and Liverpool but Man Utd are so difficult to play against because they are so fast. I have 1 fast defender. Anytime Ronaldo has the ball and the opponent can dribble I'm screwed.

Y2J Man Utd might disagree because he's so good, I would have fallen for that fake move every day of the week but it is nearly impossible to defend against Man Utd with slow defenders for the whole game

sparky360

I'll be online tonight from about 7 ish. Want to get a good few games in. I've only played a few games. I'm due to play a hell of a lot more to get up to 15 by Friday!
