FIFA10 League Season 2

Krusader

Season 2 of the League, I'm expecting the majority of players from the last league to participate.
Congrats to thewools for winning the league, he's a tough man to beat.

We'll be looking for 6 more men to make the league bigger this time, so reply in this thread to be considered for the league.
The higher your post count on boards.ie the better as newbies tend to drop out and it ruins the overall experience. Afterall it's only a bit of craic!
Remember that this league has players of all skill levels so if you play end up playing the best players 1st and lose don't be disheartened, we're all not of the same ability!

P.S Read the rules before posting your PSN tag

Players so far:

czam2007 (Crosáidí)
thewools (thewools)
El_Spankerton (All in Flynn)
conco27 (alanc2003)

RULES:

In order to maintain the league, a number of rules have been laid out. Any violations of this code of conduct can be sent to the league co-ordinators (Crosáidí/thewools) and each issue will be investigated.

1) Disconnections
No player is allowed to intentionally disconnect for any reason. Any disconnections during a league game must be made known to the league co-ordinators. However, accidental disconnections do occur and the rules have been written to take this into account. If a player disconnects while they are winning, a rematch is immediately scheduled. However, if a player disconnects while drawing or losing the game, a walkover is awarded to the other player. Each player is responsible for their own connection. These rules are final and the cause of the disconnect is irrelevant once it occurs, no exceptions will be given so do not contact players directly looking for a rematch.

2) Last man tackling
Fifa 10 is a soccer simulation and while slide tackling is encouraged when needed, intentional attempts to take out the last man (an attacking player that only has the keeper to beat) will not be tolerated. A defender is allowed to slide in from the side as there is a good chance that he will win the ball. However, when someone slides in from directly behind (from the 5-7 O'Clock positions) and the striker is between the defender and the ball, this will not be tolerated. Players like this can usually be indentified by a low foul:card ratio.

3) Settings
While this rule is unenforcable, each player is expected to have all assistance settings on default.

4) Holidays
If a player is going away on holidays and unable to play their fixtures for a short period then they must contact the co-ordinators in advance and let them know. They will post on the fixtures thread a note to allow that player to play the games for the weeks he is away in advance. Only those fixtures can be played in advance and any others will be void if played.

5) Unplayed fixtures
Due to the amount of unplayed fixtures in previous season we will be bringing in a new rule to make sure people make an effort to play their games. We will have intervals in the season such as the half-way point (we will post specific dates before the season begins) where we will look at the numbers of games played. Players will be expected to have a set amount of games played by this time. If a player has failed to play this amount of games they will be docked 3 points. Every player is responsible for their own fixtures and getting them played. If you find a player is not responding to your messages about organising fixtures then contact the co-ordinators.

6) People Quitting Mid Season
Due to various reasons we have players who sometimes are unable to complete the league season. In the case of these players any remaining fixtures they have will be awarded a walkover to their opponent. Any games played previously will stand as at this stage the person was still active in the league. If a player quits they are automatically placed at the bottom of the table and will take one of the relegation places at the end of the season. This allows us to keep a group of players in each league who are dedicated to playing their games and making the season enjoyable for everyone involved.

7) Arranging Fixtures
If you are arranging to play a weekly fixture, post on boards.ie to arrange it with your opponent, this will show the league co-ordinators that you have attempted to contact and play your opponent. You can re-inforce your attempts by sending PMs on boards.ie and PSN after you have posted your request to play. If your opponent doesn't respond to your requests, you may be awarded the points.

8) Walkovers
Walkovers are generally a 3-0 win, if however you are playing and a disconnection happens and you are winning by a magin of more than 3 goals then that result will stand

thewools

My money is on El Spankerton or Robbie Savage this time around...

I am going to struggle with Germany I reckon. Not much flair and stuggle for pace.

Krusader

Fixture will be posted Tomorrow at the latest

Krusader

RobbieSavage does have impressive stats, he's up there with yourself and El_Spankerton.

I was hoping to get Spain myself ;(

polarbearhead

i could well be the portsmouth of the league with mexico!

All_in_Flynn

The Germans are not too bad in the game tbf. They are efficient as usual and are quality at sets.

I hate Brazil, just cant use them for whatever reason but ill make do

BTW, have to say a thank you to Crosaidi and thewools for running the last league. I enjoyed it for the most part.

colly54

Your DNF % was 24% and you have over 200 games played, that means you didn't finished over 50 games you started. Sorry but we want the league to be an enjoyable experience for everyone. We had a few quitters last season and it spoilts it. All newbies stats were assessed and your DNF% let you down.

As I stated in an earlier post at the beginning I had a lot of connection problems so thats why my dnf is so high. I don't have those problems anymore and I've never intentionally quit from any game.

Krusader

You didn't state that in an earlier post in this thread

I posted in the last thread when it was coming close to the end. Any chance that you might expand to 16? If you don't want to then thats fine. If someone drops out early I'd be more than happy to take their place.

Krusader

There were 15 wanting to play, as you know odd no.s make the fixtures uneven, some one had to miss out. Myself and thewools made a decision on the stats of newcomers. I don't wish to exclude anybody from taking part but we also want to get a good group of reliable gamers.
If anyone does drop out in the early stages, we will consider you as a replacement

Krusader

Will everyone sign in to the league so fixtures can be posted, GRMA

Legwinski

The message on PSN says i've been drawn Netherlands


What will I do?

Clemon

Im going to ask can i swap France for Ireland??? If no one objects to this can i Swap please as i would rather be able to play with pride and dignity with my own country rather than shame and with a sense of betrayal. associated with france.

Krusader

If you are sure, then u can have Ireland
But France is in the bin now or we will have everybody changing
I'll await confirmation

You must be confident in your ability
from Ribery to S. Hunt

Clemon

EDIT: I'm free to play from 6 to half 7 tonight

All_in_Flynn

I should be on after the Spurs v Arsenal game tonight if any of my opponents want to play?

Clemon

Fisrt Game of the New League

(RobbieSavage) Ireland 2-0 Russia (Czam2007)

Krusader

Ireland 2- 0 Russia

Clemon

What you think of the game crosaidi
Thought it was good perhaps i should of scored more but i crumbled everytime i went near the box

Krusader

Found Russia to be a bit slow up front and their formation isn't what I've been used to. Should've practised with them
I should've got more shots on goal, when I pushed my players up you caught me with the 2nd goal and that was it, no way back

Clemon

Ya final shot count was 13 - 0
I think you should put arshavin out on the wing and just try and use him to get balls in the box

Krusader

Arshavin was on the wing

Legwinski

Free from 10-4ish tomorrow but will only be on if someone else says they'll be on....if ya get me.

So I'm playin Croatia, Argentina and Portugal if any of ye are free tomorrow

colly54

will philt27 or joe2772 be on 2nite?

hatchets27

Yeah Joe 2772 will be on after the spurs game.
