Boards League Banter

Axwell

Lads any discussion can go here - banter, organising games between ye and general league discussion. Keep the team picks thread free of chat.

Axwell

Hopefully get picks wrapped up tomorrow and then aim to get started over the weekend. We will post up the rules, fixtures etc once we sort out the team picks and setup the league tables.

forzacalcio

Still not sure if Im going to pick a League of Ireland team or a top team. Picking LOI will surely mean frustration and propping up the table on the other hand Ill wreck peoples heads with 5-4-1

Parawind

Really looking forward to it, going to be tough adapting to playing on the PS4 controller, but should keep things interesting.

Getting the excuses in early, good strategy

Oh no, you will not find me using that as an excuse. I am sure I can be much more creative then that with my excuses!

It was the winds fault for example.

Big thanks to Axwell for putting this together hope people stick with it. Looking forward to it really struggling to defend at the moment so better get practicing

Snap, Especially since EA removed the leagues functionality which makes things 10 times harder to organise.

Yeah much more time consuming now.

Ah sure ye know myself and Moon have run a load of these at this stage - think this would be season 15 or 16 if we kept the number going but since we moved to PS4 we decided to start fresh. Keeps us interested in the game as much as anyone, UT has gone a bit stale for me and I dont really do career mode so the leagues keep me entertained.

Buy Bernard in UT and then thank me later, he's a breath of fresh air!

I would but I have a BPL team (well 2 of them) at the minute which im slowly improving. However the ability to just walse through a team from tip off and score is just annoying me at this point to the stage im losing interest. Played a game last night that ended 6-6, we both scored 4 from the tip off and then 2 from play. Its just ridiculous and how they released the game thinking that was 'ok' is beyond me. Should have been fixed in the patch this week as priority but nope..

Honestly this really is super easy to defend and I'm not exactly amazing at defending. Just move a midfielder back to just in front of the defenders and the 2nd man press from kick off and bring over the midfielder you control to cut off the space. I honestly haven't conceded to it for the last month.

Axwell

Point is it shouldnt exist and I shouldnt have to go out of the way every tip off to try stop it. Theres always some stupid glitch like this in it, gets annoying after 15 iterations of fifa.

Anyways lets leave the UT talk to the other thread. Last pm's went out there now for the league teams. We will be setting up the league tables and stuff online over the weekend and probably look to start the ball rolling on Sunday evening or Monday.

There will be a fixtures thread posted - please only play the fixtures you have for that week and dont go skipping ahead trying to play other games. Also do your best to get those games played that week and not have them rolling over to the following week otherwise it just takes away from the league and ruins it for other people.

Those of you with teams, get practicing!

Those of you still to pick..may the football gods be on your side and you get the team you want!

Unearthly

I'm Arsenal

4th position wrapped up already

robfowler78

Just looked through both leagues and realised I'm the only person to pick liverpool both leagues seem to have the same / similar teams ( good old fifa every year same super teams faced online ) I really should have played more games I think it's easy to see we're the best teams lie...let the slaughter begin ha ha.

I had them as my number one option but ended up with Napoli (also championship). Just played a couple of games with them, they're fairly tasty up front but could will struggle against the likes of Real and the fast teams. Defo employing 'Park the Bus' and 5-4-1 :pac:

On a topic discussed above, I presume we are to vilify anyone who tries to score right from the tip-off in this league?

robfowler78

Yeah kick off goals should be banned they ruin games

Ah no. I'm a United fan and I don't think I've ever chosen to play as Liverpool. Some things just feel wrong

I do feel dirty, never played with anyone online other than Real, Dortmund, PSG and Ireland. Utd and most of the 5* premiership teams couldnt compete online in previous years bar maybe city.

I got Everton anyway. Lukaku hopefully wrecking the shop for me. Septicmutant if anyone fancies a game.

LostBoy101

I just picked AS Roma there and anybody willing to play a few practice matches?

brianregan09

Brianregan09 on psn add me guys

steirishrover

Looking forward to this.. I better purchase my ps+ subscription tonight so can get a few online practice games in..

Another 50 quid down the drain ha

Add me lads.. psn is steirishrover

Lucas Hood

I'm heading to Us for 10 days tomorrow. Will catch up on all games when I'm back if that's OK?

Axwell

Play them when you get back - you will have 2 weeks to catch up on though. Ideally play some today when the fixtures go up if you are around and others are online. Otherwise try get through them asap when you get back so there isnt a huge backlog.

RULES THREAD POSTED..

Lads mine is just robfowler on Psn my mistake in earlier tread

steirishrover

I will be on from half 10 onwards tonight if any of the lads I'm up against fancy a match

deafroadrunner

Ill be on for most of the night to play my matches against arsenal, spurs and roma. I've sent out friend requests to everyone in the premiership too.

Parawind

Had my first match with Pittsburgh today. In spite of losing in the 90 minute, it was a very enjoyable game. Hopefully sets the tone for the rest of the season!

Axwell

Lads just a general note on connections, can people try make sure when they are playing that no one else is using their connection causing lag. Or if you know your connection is crap during peak times then hold off playing till later jn the evening. The ps4 uses p2p networking so if one persons connection is laggy it affects both regardless who hosts. Nothing worse than watching players jittering around the pitch like idiots as try play.

Axwell

Had my first one earlier against capojama. Ended up a draw which was a fair enough result, both had chances to win it. Glad to start with a point on the board anyways!

brianregan09

Arsenal in premiership online now for a few games think I've got roma

steirishrover

Good game there against brianregan09.. happy with the win to start of the league with..

brianregan09

Yeah fair play man i was all over the place at the start and got punished rightly for it , I was constantly chasing after that well done mate

pittsburgh

Ill be around most of the day if Real Madrid, Spurs, or man United want a game in the prem!😀
