    When we say 3 star is it strictly 3 star or 3 and 3 and a half star. Im easy either way with whatever star teams we use but the lower the star teams the more frustrating the game gets

    Everyone give their opinion and see what they say I don't care as long as it's not 5 star teams.

    Id be happy to play anything from 4 star down (strict 4 star not 4.5). But I'm easy


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,350 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    I'd agree with 4 star aswell, 3 star can be quite boring. As for fixtures I work shift so would be more in favour of say Monday - Wednesday for fixture 1 and Thursday- Sunday for fixture 2?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 893 ✭✭✭Fuzzy Logic


    I’d go with 4 star. Ideally not to force games to be played within a 2 day window because some will have holidays and work. I reckon get 2 games done within a week is easier


  • Registered Users Posts: 532 ✭✭✭Turquoise Hexagon Sun


    Yeah 4 Star is OK with me too. Shall we all agree on that? 4 Star max? Not 4.5 stars etc?

    I like the idea of Tuesday/Wednesday and then a Weekend.

    Agree with this. If someone is given 2 fixtures that they have to complete in a week and then figure out with your opponents a time that suits. It could come out that on a given week the only time that suits for 3 or 4 people is a saturday... o can we do a cup too :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,350 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    How do we go about deciding what 12 clubs to use?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,507 ✭✭✭Carroller


    I downloaded league generator on Android to just test it. We can re do it or go ahead with it but few screenshots attached. We could pick teams in a draft type format?

    Max 4 star sounds good. As sad previously 3 star teams can be fierce boring. Are we picking teams to put into a hat and then random selection or just picking a team each?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,779 ✭✭✭✭jayo26


    Personally I think it be fair if we could pick teams to suit our own style or favourite teams to use. Some of us might like to use pace teams or others might like passing teams ECT.

    I don't even think it be any harm if few of us were using the same team we can use custom tactics anyway.

    I would have agreed with you before but I think there's more fun in people not being with "their team" and trying get the best results with a team you might be unfamiliar with. Once the teams are drawn, we can all practice to our hearts content with that team before and in between games. I'll go with the flow though.

    I'm not against the idea for another tournament/league.

    I also like the idea of no duplicate teams. Keeping it semi-realistic.

    How are we drawing the teams again?

    Will we all pick one 4 star team team then "put them in hat" see who gets who?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 893 ✭✭✭Fuzzy Logic


    There’s a team generator that could be used. You set what you want, club, country and stars. It will then randomly assign a team. Draw could be recorded

    I think the majority of us will be unfamiliar with all teams anyway. I never play anything other then ultimately team so haven't a clue either way.

    The wales/ireland game should be the first played as a precursor to the big game on monday :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 893 ✭✭✭Fuzzy Logic


    How about we do internationals now and next round swap to clubs and determine which one to stick to after that?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,507 ✭✭✭Carroller


    If people are in agreement I'll put the teams and gamertag through a random generator to get the ball rolling?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,779 ✭✭✭✭jayo26

    Go ahead. I can play as many games over the weekend as possible as I'm working away during the week for the next 2 weeks :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 532 ✭✭✭Turquoise Hexagon Sun


    Just in the interest of fairness, one issue. Chile, actually shows as a 4 and half star team. Make of that what you will. Maybe people want to do another draw?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,507 ✭✭✭Carroller


    I originally had messed around with an app and have 22 weeks of fixtures automatically generated if people would like to use that. I can put up the following week when all games have been completed in a game week? It keeps track of the league table too

    Or if anyone has a better looking table or app work away
