The Funky Bunch League page

First topic message reminder :

Being that the league is going to be FIFA 16 based its daft that we're still under the FIFA15 umbrella. We also need to have a second confirmation on who's in being that the initial role call was some time ago now.

Please confirm below!

I'll make a start this evening on updating the squad lists that have already been done.

Confirmed


Hero
Viva
Bambam
Marky
Nando
Miky
Trebs
Olly

Well we've got 10 sides atm assuming Olly and Soddy share one, then waiting on Twist and Enigma to see if they are still interested

Are we sticking with the teams originally allocated or changing it up?

Happy to do injuries and league table

I still think we should build our own teams with a draft, I don't think the appeal of starting with a load of players we won't want is there.

I get that Marky but we need to consider the work load for Hero I feel as he has to shuffle the players around from team to team on his FIFA.

What about if Viva does injuries and you so top scorers and the league table BamBam? Would you be cool with that?

Sorry Viva on Lawyers*

What method are we using for lawyers? The usual or something different?

Fine with whatever bud, just let me know

I think we were deciding on the amount of lawyer offers and I think we agreed on the German TM lawyers so the same as we used to do.

I have a feeling that 2 was pretty much agreed on, what do you all think?

What I mean by German TM is the Euro price of players on TM.

Euros
Pounds

I'm fine with whatever method.

As far as I'm aware, the price will still be given in pounds but it will be equal to the Euro price for the player on TM.

Go on then Olly, we can share.

We'll start small by sharing a pretend team and eventually end up in a polygamous relationship with the same woman. Deal?

Always knew you had an eye on Olly's sister sodhat

She's too old at 18 for Soddy.

Let' sort out the budgets first.

Yeah but for budgets we need to confirm who is in and who is out first and confirm the teams as well.

Ditto.

Best of luck with the league, should be good, but I'm opting out

Commiserations to the baggies for last night too Azzy

Afro, you told me you'd definitely join.

I had done an Azzy and quit decided to take a break from Sports Gaming and it was thanks to you I returned.

Haha, if there's one good thing I've done on v2, it's give people a great throwaway line about quitting

I'm not really feeling footy these days - unless it's West Brom or England I can't watch more than 5 mins without going insane. I can barely bring myself to talk about the game either.

Affers - I said to my wife when we scored our second 'oh good, now we can lose 3-2 instead of 2-1'. You're most welcome

Current teams ratings - attack - midfield - defence

Aston Villa - 74 74 76
Bournemouth - 74 72 72
Burnley
Crystal Palace - 74 75 76
Hull
Leicester - 74 73 73
Newcastle - 77 77 76
Norwich - 72 73 71
QPR
Stoke - 77 76 76
Southampton - 77 77 75
Sunderland - 77 76 74
Swansea - 76 75 76
Watford - 75 72 74
West Brom - 77 74 72
West Ham - 76 75 75

I'll add Burnley, Hull and QPR when I get home, but are there any of those that you think we should drop? At first glance, I'd say Bournemouth, Norwich and Watford are clearly a bit weaker than the rest. Dropping those 3 and the 3 relegated sides would give us 10 relatively well matched teams

Having said that, these are just from an online source, and haven't checked to see if they've changed on the game!

As long as at some point it ends up with her dumping both of us I'm in

Time to get on with this shizzle.

Doubt we'll get anymore manager's. We've got enough to start the league.

Viva, I really don't know how PES has been rated as high as it has this year, just given it a go and it's utter gash.
The players move around like like ice skating rather than they're running, just doesn't feel like they actually in motion at all, feels like I'm playing a poor mans FIFA 10 tbh. Every moment just didn't feel natural at all.
Really think the reviews are done by anti EA hipsters because that game is horrendous.

Im not even going to try and pretend you're wrong, I agree the movement of the players on the ball feels terrible it's no where near smooth as Fifa.

I thought I'd give Pro a chance after 6 years of Fifa, I haven't played it in week and if don't get used to it I'll trade it in for Fifa.

I'm glad you have seen the error of your ways viva. Come back into the light that is Fifa.

I played the PES demo and I didn't like it. The new Fifa takes getting used to but I'm liking it.

The following have made the (leaked, so may not be true) Ballon d'Or longlist, which means they've potentially achieved more individually than Paul Scholes

Massimo Luongo
Christian Atsu
Shinji Okazaki
David Ospina
Phillipe Coutinho

Luongo is a player scholes can only dream of being imo

You forgot all these Marky

Giovani dos Santos - Villarreal/LA Galaxy
Son Heung-Min - Leverkusen/Tottenham
Paolo Guerrero - Flamengo/Corinthians
Eduardo Vargas - QPR/Hoffenheim
Gary Medel - Inter
Andres Guardado - PSV
Carlos Sanchez - River Plate
Andre Ayew - Marseille/Swansea

Just more proof Fifa is corrupt.

Well deserved Nando, you killed us.

If only you had a World Class Midfielder like Massimo Luongo, You may have got a result

Like Marky said in the Premier league section, Carrick and Basti shouldn't be playing together. Left us so open.

I think LVG expected us to do what we did in the 2nd half just you were 3-0 down by then. Personally expected Herrera & Schneiderlin to play felt better when saw your line up.

Easier in hindsight but should have been a 4-5-1, midfield of Schneiderlin, Herrera and only one of Schweinsteiger/Carrick (maybe sub one on for the other)

Then any three of Mata/Depay/Rooney/Martial as the wingers/striker. Saw the line ups and thought they'd be got at, didn't expect 3 in 20 mins mind

Rooney needs to be dropped.

Rooney is utter gash atm

Herrera is injured but would have him in playing where Rooney has been as soon as he is ready, but can't see LVG dropping his captain

So are we getting this league going?

Lets start this today.

Doesn't Herrera usually play slightly further back than what Rooney plays? Just interested.

He does, but from what Van Gaal has said recently, he sees the role Rooney has been playing as part of a midfield 3, rather than as a second striker

in that role, Herrera would be much better, especially given Rooney's shocking form

Who is Caitlyn Jenner?

Herrera speeds up our tempo and has a very good understand with Mata.

Kim Kardashian's stepfather who has since transformed into a woman called Caitlyn

Sexy. We all know viva still would though.

Caitlyn Jenner is stunning and brave.

She is an inspiration to us all. If ever in the future I feel confused I will look to her for help. I think I would make a nice Nadeema or Nadzeesha
