I think somehow Nilmar won the Golden Boot, how the hell that happened I have no idea!

Hulk got 11
Falcao got 10

So quite happy my strike partnership got 21 between them

just want to see what people thought of my new signing In particular Doumbia

The Benfica manager celebrates in style!
(This is really me btw)

Really interested in the reasons because if people have just said "Liverpool had too much up front" I will be peed off.

How many reasons did you get in Afro for Nick's league?

I wouldn't count nilmar as golden boot just yet rvp had 8 goals excluding the 1st 3 games of the season where arsenal scored 8 but no scorers were put up

Darren Fletcher out

About 5

I'll put them up later this evening, it's quite hard copy and pasting while people are walking past me.

when will TP'S go up? becuase im off in a bit so wanted to find out if i got it.

I'll look up the records for the first three games for my league tonight

thanks viva

I don't think any other league had a goalscorers chart apart from mine, so I guess Hulk gets the golden boot

Our goal scorers are in Nicks results thread Afro.

well a 3-4-3 didnt work then eh

Not very official then

We'll be doing manager of the year awards later on this week, goal of the season and a few other things.

For the younger lads like CF and TSC I'll bring in some colouring books while thye listen to Christmassy songs. Ice Cream for dessert?

FootballCrazy will you be joining in this years Christmas party? I'll need a consent form signed by your parent or guardian

seemed doumbia hadnt fitted in w/ his teamates yets, so were going on teh first annual spurs paintballing and go-karting trip!. in hereford!

also from what ive read it seems i found a formation that could be a winner.

also shouldnt there be a manger of half seson for those who came in half way thru?

goal of hte season i adebayors overhead kick from his own goaline.which flew into the top corner of the opponets goal

Did people read Everton's tactics against Arsenal or just go "Van Persie, he'll score"?

3-0 Arsenal is in no way fair based on the side I put out, unless people have some valid reasons for me I now have the break between seasons, with two defeats in two, no goals scored, 5 condeded and no idea why!

I have no issue with being beaten by a better side, but seriously, 3-0 at home?

Maybe for next season the way results are decided should take into account the individual player's real life performance that weekend?

ie If I play Fred as a striker and he scores 3 goals in his match that weekend, or gets a 9 out of 10 rating in the papers/online, that has an impact on his performance in the Furious Football Association, and if Tim Howard keeps a clean sheet, as do the centre backs at their respective clubs, that has an impact on the FFA performance too.

I had the same Marky

5-1 to benfica- joke

problem with my new founf formation
It has 1 up front, after just spending 48.5 mil on strikers!

viva do you know when tp's will go up mate?

Come on guys, hands up. Who actually takes the time to read the tactics and base the results around it? Having a star striker isn't the be all and end all if another manager has tactics to combat it. I congratulate Fan, as always, on the win, but I have real doubts people actually read the tactics I put out. Huntelaar should not be getting 2 clear goals, when you had tactics to combat him surely.

If those are the resuls benfica win the league...theyneeded a 2 goal swing to win and they win 5-1, we win 3-1 lol

Fan Gilhaus wrote:5-1 to benfica- joke

I disagree, what tactics were given to the Juve fullbacks?

WILSON+SANDRO: Keep your width, and offer support to the wingers. Get forward and overlap the wingers, whilst making sure you remeber your defensive resposblities

And nothing at all to protect them. Benfica would have had a field day against that.

Fan Gilhaus wrote:5-1 to benfica- joke

Benfica 5-1 Juventus

and Fans thinking his team was improving

5-1 tho lol

i am very suspicious of this tbh

JUventus never put tactics much different against anyone else...never lost 5-1

Juventus stuck out their 2nd side cos he wanted to try out he's squad.

Benfica 1st team going for the league and would be majorally up for the game and against a 2nd side is going to end in a battering.

I HAD MY 3 BEST PLAYERS INJURED FAN

HONDA,BUFFON,BARNETTA

We have been saying this all season. Please argue it out amongst yourselves and come to a conclusion where tactics are read and taken account of.

Also please take into account that it is a managers opinion, so it is not necessarily the case that managers will agree that your tactics worked.

Also, the fact that Huntelaar scored twice is not a reflection of the goalscorer selection. Noone put Huntelaar down to score more than 1, but if everyone puts Huntelaar down to score 1 goal, he will appear so often that he gets credited with the goals. Who scores is not really relevant, it's that tactics are read to vote on the appropriate scoreline.

5-1...

I was a goal ahead, they needed a 2 goal swing and got it lol

it wasnt a 2nd side, i had 2 key players out injured, and THE PLAYERS I PUT OUT I EXPECTED THEM TO WIN

THEY WILL GET THE HAIRDRYER TREATMENT.

And what was Benfica's tactics?

César & Nolito - Start off play on the wings, but cut inside as our wingbacks keep their wingbacks on the wing. You will have the space to run at goal for shots. Or, if a player is standing in your way, link up with Krasic and Nilmar playing through balls behind their defence. When on the edge of the box, look for the runs of Pjanic to square the ball to him so he can shoot.

So the Juve fbs are stuck on the outside with no actual instruction, no indication to the Juve wingers or DM to come back and assist whilst the Benfica wingers get free reign to maraud inside and shoot at will.

Yo. Well I finished last which means im gonna have to improve big time.
Anyone selling a top goalkeeper and a top cb?

[assed caring, when was the last 5-1 in any league its a fix and am off cya

Bingo

CF did the same thing in the previous weeks, and it was mentioned in the feedback. I took a gamble he would tell his fb's to stay on the wings again so my wingers had all the space in the world and it paid off.
No need to get peed off Fan, 1st or 2nd is the same thing, you dont win any cash, but we both get into the Champs League.

CF, i'm probably not alone in saying if you'd have said you were going to accept the £20M for Buffon, i'd have offered you the £20M and more if necessary for him. Buffon is world class, but what's done is done.

How is it a fix exactly. You saying I managed to influence 12 people who vote on here?

u shud have player parker criccer

Fan Gilhaus wrote:[assed caring, when was the last 5-1 in any league its a fix and am off cya

Jog on Fan,

You have completely ignored our result and just take it as read, even though I have issues with it as well. Plus I have congratulated you for the win twice and you have ignored that too.

And just to confirm, I would have Benfica having a rout against Juve as well. Sorry CF, but your tactics weren't very good mate.

did anyone else just have a problem with the server?

also when are TP'S gonna be revealed

twist what people say dosent bother me. You should know that by now

Can anyone explain Everton 0-3 Arsenal to me?

people are getting so uptight over a fantasy league!

marky when comments come out you will see why.

no I cant marky
