Realistic Premier League

First topic message reminder :

Please be aware that this week's fixture are as follows:


Stoke City v West Bromwich
Sunderland v Norwich
Aston Villa v Fulham
Newcastle Utd v Crystal Palace
West Ham Utd v Cardiff City

Please PM Hero the following (if you are playing myself then PM Nando) before the end of Friday:

1. A easy to read team sheet eg:


2. A list of 7 substitutes eg: Lindegaard, Fabio, Jones, Young, Hernandez, Welbeck, Cleverley.

3. A list of 3 injuries (not applicable in week 1) eg: Giggs, Smalling, Valencia

4. Clear tactics in a bullet point format, we advise a minimum of five lines and a maximum of ten eg:

   GK - Be vocal, communicate with your defensive line at all times, instruct them at set pieces and look to catch the ball rather than punch it, look to release early onto the flanks for counter attacks.
   FBs - Keep any wingers on the outside, stay on your feet and block crosses, come forward down the flank when available
   CBs - Man mark the strikers, keep goal side and time tackles
   CMs - Look to pressurise early, spread the ball across the pitch and dictate the pace of the game
   WGs - Work with our FBs to double up down the flanks and whip balls into the box, mix it up by coming inside and dribbling into the box, look to go down easy.
   SS - Play between the midfield and the main striker, link up play, hang just outside the box when there's period of pressure and look for loose balls
   ST - Hang on the shoulder of the deepest CB and look to drag them out of position, anticipate the ball and look to burst into the box for crosses or one-twos.



These shall then be posted on the board and results will be posted on Monday.

I have a feeling both my Foreigns will be turned down haha

Right, I have a Cardiff side I want to smash up and rebuild. Who wants to do some deals?

When's the back page going to be updated?

Tomorrow, it's a busy day Friday!

*Makes mental note to change backpage day next week!

If anyone has any posts they'd like putting up on the backpage in a media style please send them to me.

Just realised I signed Ayew a few days back! Thought someone was missing off my team sheet!

Where do tactics go?

Do we send them to Nando?

All to me except CF who's playing me so he sends them to Nando...

As I posted a few days ago and is in the OP

Tactic's sent, hope they're ok Hero.

I'm going to do my tactics tonight good luck to everyone for the first match.

I was going to wait until tonight's Foreign's had been answered but I just can't see Wesley Sneijder being a Black Cat this season haha

Hi all,

Getting a few set of tactics in now so thanks to everyone whos already done that.
With it being the first week there will be a little leniency in regards to tactic length etc but please do your best to keep it within the rules specified, its great to see the effort being done but we want to keep it simple for everyone involved as much as possible.

Ta muchly!

Im getting in my house at 10:30 tonight, tactics will be in for midnight.

tactics sent

I have sent my tactics - Sorry if i sent the tactics to you twice Hero, i think i did it by accident.

Is that the type of format that you are looking for for the tactics?

Yes perfect mate  

Hero wrote:Yes perfect mate  

Okay thanks mate

hero, there is a typo in my starting 11, revised one sent

No probs

Unacceptable YI Man, you're blatantly cheating to get the win

Just wondering how the results work/when we'll get them? Will they come in a match report that shows the strengths or weaknesses or will we just get a quick pros and cons list? I assume we'll get our injuries on Monday...are they totally from random or will they come from only players who played in our last match?

Results will be compiled over the weekend, it'll be a brief write up with thoughts in it.
Injuries will be totally random each week.

Just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone btw that's taking part, hopefully the league's now starting to take shape and you all enjoying it so far.
Would like to bring in form players that I mentioned in the near future if people liked that idea?

I had vlaar as CB AND RB
 

do we vote?

Nope they're decided between the committee  

Did everyone send tactics?

Awaiting your opponents currently and it's then a full house. He may though be drunk based on Norwich mounting a comeback.

Update on the foreigns?

Hero wrote:Nope they're decided between the committee  

seriously? We dont have to vote?!

just a thought, and this isnt a dig at the lads involved at all.

But there are different styles to the tactics, some long, some short. Just as a small point for me, I dont have time to write long tactics, so mine will be short n sweet.

Also there are some good starting 11's out there.
This will be a tight league i think, anyone could take it

I think from next week a word cap might be needed to enforce it.

News for foreigns?

I might change my name to:

All hail McCormack

Ross = beast

Hero just thought you should know that Leffy has changed his name again on JA so if an ErediWhatNot comes calling it's him

When will results been announced? 

Also Hero?

Would you like me to do Top Scorers and Table?

Results will be at some point tomorrow.

Yes please on scorers and table  

Hero, i'l put up injuries tomorrow

When i get a chance i am going to compile the transfers Hero, it might take me a bit of time though but thats okay. I'm happy to do it.

Cheers fellas, all very much appreciated. 

Good win for Macc town on Saturday as well Hero, Good weekend for you mate!

Swindon must hate playing Macc, beat them in the cup last year too!

Macc seem to love the FA Cup. You always seem to get to the 3rd round, with a giant killing along the way.

It's because we need the cash!

Is there an echo in here?  

Results will be up tomorrow night, if anyone's wondering
