    All discussion relating to Season 9 goes here

    Players are reminded to keep an eye on the team pick process when it starts for their turn to pick so we can keep things moving. Also you must give thanks on the rules sticky as per usual.

    We had a good season last time with little or no nonsense on the threads and we expect the same this time around. Everyone is playing long enough at this stage and bans will be handed out if needed.

    Good luck to all and enjoy the season!

    You mean the John Delaney cup?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell


    Because its seeded based on the players ability, their performance in the league last season and also the ability of the others in the league they go into. The same applies to players that get promoted, they dont go straight in as the last picks in the league they go into. Its done the same every year and everyone gets a decent team anyways with the league sizes as they are.

    I was relegated the season before last and got stuck with the last pick so 4th last ain't too bad.

    To be honest, I don't care how well I do this season. The only thing I hope to do is get a win/draw against Yapa. It'll be a stretch, especially with the scores as they were, but by God I will do it...

    I'll be joining you next season, I don't think I can survive another year in the top division much longer!! Also I'm struggling with FIFA 11 :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,789 ✭✭✭nicklauski


    I know this isnt the place lads, but when is the sign up for the new season. Moon will be delighted to hear the missus got me the new xbox and Fifa 11 for xmas (seen as he blamed her for me having to forfeit my games a couple of seasons ago :P )

    Sorry, didn't realise I was to blame her :p

    Anyhoo, usually around mid season, so it will be a month or two, keep checking the forum for the thread :)

    How would one go about joining up?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell


    Season 9 is currently underway and we arent accepting any new players for it. Keep an eye on the thread in about 5-6 weeks for sign up for qualifying for Season 10 and you can stick your name down at that stage.

  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell


    Picks updated, still a few to go in 2 of the divisions. Also some people need to give thanks on the rules sticky. Will start over the weekend hopefully once the picks are finished with.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,561 ✭✭✭corcaigh07


    stan will be fine. his crossing into drogba and anelka, lot of goal potential there. must say, im shocking with Barca, i was planning on a title bid this season but while they are class, they have no target man and their squad is slack enough.

    By the way, question for axwell and moon, will the update for transfers affect the league? i think it will affect certain teams, eg-liverpool getting crappier, city with dzeko, ronaldinho out cassano in for AC Milan etc etc


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell


    Yeah the transfers should count, they did the last time. Usually it takes them a while to get them in an update after the transfer window but they will carry into the league once the update is made available.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,561 ✭✭✭corcaigh07


    yea thought as much, thats a shame. someone could be going well mid-season and all of a sudden, the squad or the stats could change.

    hehehe happened last season to me, thats why this season i picked the team sitting top of Serie A, so they will only get better :D

    Well its the luck of the draw I guess. I dont see many teams people have chosen losing big players in the transfers anyways, if anything just gaining the odd average player they here or there.

    yea no excuses from you this season, please god! and no complaining about ronaldinho either, cassano is just as good.

    why didnt i stick with Milan, i got to over 5100 ranking points with Milan lately, with barca Im down to 4700 now! d'oh!

    Made no excuses last season, my own inconsistency was to blame. Yeah losing him will be a shame but cassano should be improved when he goes to milan. To be honest i pitty the poor sods who picked Chelsea since they will have to take the biggest drop of any team, unless they turn around their form quickly.

    Barca are class corcaigh mate. I always pick them in ranked and the fact that they can ping the ball around 1-11 is a real advantage. Chelsea, for example only have one top class passer in their team. Barca have a crapload.

    i fully agree with all of that but they have weaknesses. headed goals are huge in 11 and barcas front 3 are tiny! makes a big difference for kick outs too. chelsea, madrid and even the likes of city and milan are more well rounded because they have more strength and more ability in the air. i like barca but i kinda regret my pick.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,492 ✭✭✭brianregan09


    I'm definitly up for season ten when it comes around i'd kill for decent fifa competition

    I suppose you have a point. The fact that I am totally pants at heading means I usually don't notice stuff at that. :p I score headed goals when my men are free....so stats dont matter much.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,024 ✭✭✭Moiph


    I actually didn't like using Barca last season either, they just didn't click with me for whatever reason. Enjoying using Lyon at the moment, Bastos and Lopez are beasts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 392 ✭✭Town Man


    Edin Dzeko I would like to welcone you to Manchester City and I look forward to working with yourself and Carlos Tevez :D

    I dunno why I picked Liverpool just had a couple of games with them and theyre awful! Long season ahead!

    Please bring in some new players in the January window for the love of god!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,894 ✭✭✭evad_lhorg


    liverpool arent that bad at all. just change the formation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51 ✭✭Mjens


    Have done. Got stevie g up front with torres and J.cole in behind...thats ok but struggling with the centre backs getting roasted with the lack of pace


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,565 ✭✭✭Parawind


    Just wait 6 weeks til the update they will be getting much worse!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51 ✭✭Mjens


    Ha yeah i know im counting down the days! Hopefully as theyre getting worse im getting better!

    Sent ya my pick there axwell. Went with Bayern. Their defence is awful but having Robben and Ribery is always nice.

    Would of gone with Arsenal but I like picking different teams each season.

    Chelsea as they are at the minute in Fifa are imo the best team in the game. They are streets ahead of every other team bar Real in the game. After the update though could be a different story but I doubt much will change, it usually focus' more on transfers. Dzeko to city is a cool one!


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,462 Mod ✭✭✭✭Axwell


    Right team picks are all done. Some of you still havent gave thanks to the rules sticky and need to do so.

    The password etc for the league will be sent by pm to those that have later today once we have everything setup.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,613 ✭✭✭raheny red


    Easy 3 points for whoever plays me in the first set of games, I'm totally out of form. I'm currently strung out on UT and my recent record would be something like W: 8 D: 3 L: 25

    I finished unbeaten in League 2 with Liverpool and was close to winning it. They're not bad at all, would have picked them again but somebody else beat me to it :rolleyes:

    Had to settle for AC Milan :pac:

    Ill throw my name in for adding another championship to my collection...I might let sean-og score against me...maybe

    Didn't I beat you 3 - 0 in a ranked match ? I don't see how anyone would find it hard to score against you :D

    Mind you, I'm not that hard to score against either ! Your bro storybud keeps whoopin my ass :P
