They'll be in the outbox until Hero opens them, then will be in sent box. He's got them so I wouldn't worry

by $ka Sat 03 Nov 2018, 2:22 pm

parfait

by **Hero** Sat 03 Nov 2018, 7:56 pm

TAB/Nando and Marky/ROF gonna have to replay your games as it does appear to be moving players about after I've set them. Guess just have to be more vigilant unfortunately.

by Take a boo Sat 03 Nov 2018, 8:05 pm

I did wonder why Rof spent all that money on Hudson-Odoi to play him at RB Laugh

I think it’s some sort of glitch Hero so might just be worth double checking after you’ve saved the teams

by **Hero** Sat 03 Nov 2018, 8:13 pm

yeah it saved everything else like player instructions but just shuffled players about

by **Hero** Sat 03 Nov 2018, 8:16 pm

Well having the players in correct positions changed THAT score!

by **Hero** Sat 03 Nov 2018, 8:21 pm

redoing Nando v TAB now

by Marky Sat 03 Nov 2018, 8:42 pm

by Take a boo Sat 03 Nov 2018, 8:49 pm

Nice to see my boys put in a better performance in the correct set up

Although nothing in comparison to Crawley, wow!!

by Renege Sat 03 Nov 2018, 9:50 pm

Wow

by Renege Sat 03 Nov 2018, 10:21 pm

Don’t get why it changed my formation to 442. Not sure when that happened but I’ll say 80 mins seeing it was 3-1 till then...

by Marky Sat 03 Nov 2018, 10:21 pm

Overshadowed by the scoreline obviously, but Martin Tyler calling my 3-2-3-2 formation "slightly negative" made me laugh.

Also, 3-1 at HT was fair, liquid football, much more even 2nd half but then 3 goals in the last 10 mins was harsh on Mansfield. Big fan of Ikpeazu's performance upfront, only one goal but a proper beast.

Stats were something like 9 shots, 8 on target, 6 goals. That's not reflective of how my season will go.

It was probably around a substitute when it does that.

by **Afro** Sat 03 Nov 2018, 10:50 pm

What an opening week to the season. 39 goals across the 8 games.

by Marky Sat 03 Nov 2018, 11:46 pm

Do you remember when Blackpool won 4-0 in the opening weekend of their season in the Premier League and went top?

This is what this win feels like today Laugh

Downhill from here lads

by $ka Sun 04 Nov 2018, 3:33 am

2nd place. Not good enough. The minimum aim was to lead from start to finish.

by **Afro** Sun 04 Nov 2018, 8:50 am

Will update the table, results etc.

Think the only yellow was for Marky, although going to need to check whether that was the hustle game or the real one

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 04 Nov 2018, 9:23 am

I’m asking for a recount. My players were moved and it was just what happens. This is a disgrace. All this to keep Olly’s 12 fingers in Norfolk and away from Macclesfield

by **Afro** Sun 04 Nov 2018, 11:10 am

Is that genuine that your players started out of position Dolph? Any game where that happened should be rerun tbh

by $ka Sun 04 Nov 2018, 11:38 am

Going to release Chris Dagnall and Jermaine Beckford.

Would anyone like to offer for them before I do that?

by **Afro** Sun 04 Nov 2018, 11:49 am

Results, Table and Top Scorers updated.

Week 2 Fixtures now shown above

by BamBam Sun 04 Nov 2018, 2:46 pm

Guys, I've made the Google sheet view only again because I can't actually see who is making what changes unless I share it directly with you.

When can we add our tactics bonus? And is it £200k?

by BamBam Sun 04 Nov 2018, 4:32 pm

Let Hero confirm, but think everyone got the bonus for being on time, and yes it's 200k

by **Hero** Sun 04 Nov 2018, 4:42 pm

Thumbs up here.

by TwisT Sun 04 Nov 2018, 6:14 pm

Bam, share it with me again

Afro wrote:Is that genuine that your players started out of position Dolph? Any game where that happened should be rerun tbh

I'm not actually in any way sure, I doubt it was wrong at the start. I don't care though and both trust the Robot-man and don't think I'd win even if my players were all in the right place and Olly's were all on the right wing (where Olly spends his time).

On bonuses, how much do I get for giving tactics in on time? I thought it was £750k!

by **Hero** Sun 04 Nov 2018, 11:39 pm

200k x

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 05 Nov 2018, 2:15 am

This changes plans somewhat!

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 05 Nov 2018, 2:25 am

I think the issue with in-game tactical changes will be worse this year as, unless it happened on 18 as I barely played it, I think presets change if you change your defensive-attacking level. So, I think your whole formation can change if you go attacking on that bar.

by **Afro** Mon 05 Nov 2018, 8:30 am

Morning folks.

My FIFA knowledge is limited, so I let others worry about that! I just think it is the same for everybody, and although a weakness in using FIFA, it is worth putting up with for the positives, like being able to watch the games

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon 05 Nov 2018, 8:40 am

To keep with the realism of the game, I will be changing my title to DoF and blame the manager for any issues.

Sensible. You'll go far clap

by **Afro** Mon 05 Nov 2018, 8:56 am

Can everyone try and make sure their squad page is up to date by the end of the day. Will be doing lawyers and injuries first thing tomorrow, so would be useful to know everything is straight

Still trying to work out how he scored that myself...

by **Afro** Mon 05 Nov 2018, 9:29 am

Stunning finish. The quality of goals and finishing doesn't seem to diminish in spite of the level the teams are at.

by **Afro** Mon 05 Nov 2018, 9:37 am

Everyone happy with this for the cup...

The Hardcore Cup will be played using the No Rules mode on FIFA, and will be completely separate from the league.

There will be no injuries drawn for cup matches.

Yellow cards or Red Cards incurred in cup matches will not count towards suspensions, nor can suspensions be served in cup matches.

There will be a tactics bonus for the first round of matches only. For the subsequent rounds that run alongside league games, there will be no additional tactics bonus (i.e. tactics bonus for that week will be based on league game only)

Sounds good

by BamBam Mon 05 Nov 2018, 10:12 am

So everyone got tactics bonus of £200k

Everyone other than Sodhat has posted their press conference so gets £100k - when is it open till?

by Azzy Mon 05 Nov 2018, 10:58 am

If anyone meets the following asking prices, you can confirm the deal:

CB Tom Eastman - £175k - 64 *Colchester United
MF Courtney Senior - £90k - 64 *Colchester United
MF Brandon Comley - £75k - 63 *Colchester United
ST Luke Norris - £200k - 65 *Colchester United

by **Hero** Mon 05 Nov 2018, 11:14 am

Macc home v Bury this week for me, hopefully do a little better than the real life game at the weekend where we got thumped 4-1!

Not willing to go to asking price, but would meet you almost half way for Comley and offer £35k

by Azzy Mon 05 Nov 2018, 12:36 pm

When are press conferences refreshed? Shall I put together a round for Week 2 so people can get their responses in prior to foreigns tomorrow?

by BamBam Mon 05 Nov 2018, 12:45 pm

There's no set time, its just whenever someone has the time to put one up. That would be great!

by Trebs Mon 05 Nov 2018, 12:49 pm

I think as long as we all agree when the tactics/press conference money can be added....

by BamBam Mon 05 Nov 2018, 12:54 pm

Tactics - once Hero confirms
Press conference - once answers posted?

by Azzy Mon 05 Nov 2018, 1:00 pm

Right, I'll post this week's press conference then. Gimme me 10mins.

by Azzy Mon 05 Nov 2018, 1:04 pm

Also what's the rule on signing players released? And on our own players released?

by Marky Mon 05 Nov 2018, 1:07 pm

You release them for 75% of their TM value

You can't sign anyone from releases (like in the olden days), you have to wait a month then sign them at their TM value like you would anyone sold to lawyers.

by Azzy Mon 05 Nov 2018, 1:21 pm

Press Conference for Week 2 is live:

https://www.606v2.com/t68143-week-2-press-conference

Also, last time I was in the league you could sign releases - I think you forget how long I've been away Laugh

That Lawyers trick is new too. So if I sell someone to Lawyers, I can sign them back in a month's time for their TM value?
