Cool, but shouldn't you have put a link in for the team picks before you closed the other thread. Some people don't check the Pro Evo and Fifa forum all that often and just get updates by email. Just to speed things along like

Axwell

Please note this thread is only for those currently involved in the Premiership and Championship.
Anyone wishing to join there will be a qualifying league runing in the next few weeks which you are welcome to enter.

I email everyone through boards to notify them they are due to pick when the time comes so they will be well aware once they are checking their email.

Im 4th seed?? I only got promoted this year??

How does that make sense?

Axwell

This is the same way it was done last year, promoted players arent automatically the bottom 3 players in the premiership. Also as was said in the other thread teams are seeded as we have to incorporate qualifying players into the league aswell. Both yourself and Kirby ran away with the Championship and the only reason you were in there was because you had come from qualifying through that route. You were too good for the championship but that was the route from qualifying.

Parawind

while i'm flattered to be seeded so highly, how did i get 4th seed in the championship i thought i was muck in qualifying...

Axwell

You finished 3rd in qualifying.

lol fair enough i suppose, but i'm quite surprised. So then, am i right in assuming the top 3 were relegated from the Premiership or were they the Championship players who missed out on promotion?

Axwell

2 got relegated, the 3rd that was relegated didnt come back to play this season, the other person missed out on promotion.

ahh now it all makes sense, so i was the highest finishing qualifier put into the championship, dam i should have played slightly worse in qualifying lol

Axwell

Correct..and hindsight eh

bennyc

My XBrick finally went 3 lights last night so its for collection tomorrow, that puts me back 3 weeks from now.

Just letting the mods know in advance. If there is any problem let me know. I will have to play catch up when I get it back if thats ok with everyone.

Axwell

At the min they seem to be getting them back within two weeks so you might be lucky enough. But RROD happens so it will be fine, just pick your team when the time comes, ill send you a pm anyways to let you know.

Fair enough. I thought it would go that the two promoted would be near enough the bottom. Im bloody struggling with this game this year. My record online is nearly 50/50 with wins and losses.

Fair play lads for setting this up I dont want to be complaining :P

SRFC90

Delighted to be seeded so lowly this time. I was 2nd seed after getting promotion to the Prem for last season and as such, played with Blackburn...... yes it really was that bad! :eek:

Hopefully this season I can really prove my worth!

corcaigh07

im pleasantly surprised im in the prem. i thought i would be middle/low in the championship, think i was 2nd in the qualifying. pity im not so good on the new game.

Championship? Interesting decision

Reganovski

Not sure what I was doing picking Atletico Madrid :eek::mad::o

Kirby

They are much better in the game than they are in real life. Haven't qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions league and could well mss out on it next year if they don't get their act together.:p

Same could be said for many teams though this year like Bayern Munich, Liverpool, etc. Good in Fifa, pants in real life.

Bayern are hardly "pants" just because they had 2 bad results against the French Champions. 4 points off the top of the German league, and ahead of Wolfsburg the current champions. Not exactly a disaster, seeing as they are missing their best player.

I'll tell you why....FORLAN

Kirby

They aren't playing well at all. And when Ribery was fit, they didn't know where to play him from match to match. They are struggling this season and It wouldn't shock me to see them miss out.

Got my first pick of Man City anyway. Tevez and Adebayor are a great partnership. Tevez is very quick and Adebayor is very big. Just like my combo of Podolski and Toni last season. Happy with them tbh. Wayne bridge is a bit of a liabillity tho.

Well done to Moon and Axwell for organizing this and to everyone for getting their picks done.
Looking forward to getting started

I think most people are quite terrified of Axwell so either things went smoothly or people got hurt. I was 15 minutes late with my pics and he turned up at my door with a bunch or cronies and becan to threaten me.

I think most people are sick of the travesty of Fifa 10 ranked matches and it's a pleasure to play the game in th eway its intended.

Very happy with Bayern.

Well it worked didnt it, you eventually gave me your pick while screaming like a girl for them not to hurt you

bennyc

Fair play lads for getting this done so fast.

I have to ask though, how you lads at the early picks could let Richie get his hands on Ronaldo again. Does nobody remember the first season where everybody had United.

Any sign of Kirks picks??

I've no patience

Viva Ronaldooo, Viva Ronaldooooooo

Although, I do have the disadvantage of only ever playing about 8 games of FIFA 10 online so far. I'd be surprised if I don't get violated.

Nothing yet, he was on earlier but didnt send us anything and he has pms telling him its his turn to pick so should be aware its due.

joe123

Sorry lads about the delay ill get my pick to ya tonight Axwell. Had Bayern and City in mind so I have to just have a quick test of two other teams to see if either of them are any use.

Have training tonight and the Liverpool match is on so ill have my team ready soon after that!

Axwell

Well Cactus cant pick till you do and everyone else has their selections in so your holding it up for everyone else at this stage. You could of course let us skip past you and leave you to the end if you want.

As a Liverpool fan I can safely say we wont win and you will miss nothing so dedicate the time to getting your team pick in instead it will be more worthwhile.

There would be riots by United fans if he left. In Rafa we trust.

Sacking a manager mid-season is ridiculous, so obviously he should stay. But if it was up to me he would be gone in the summer. The man is a clown and as I've said for six years, liverpool will never win a premier league title with him at the helm.

As for tonight, I'm going for a 2-2 draw.

Axwell

The league is the topic lads...soccer forum for soccer talk before this gets into a big debate.

Future Guy you didnt waste much time changing your pic and signature...ever loyal to your new league team!
