For total clarification, the £1.5m is for tactics in by the deadline (which is 23.59 on Friday)

by Fluxy Tue 02 Oct 2018, 12:45 pm

I don't think I have been late on any tactics. Possibly one set, so will rule one out.

by nadeem2099 Tue 02 Oct 2018, 1:00 pm

Right, have signed my Ramos replacement for this week in Djibril Sidibe hopefully he can do the job in CB Laugh

How are we folks

by Fluxy Wed 03 Oct 2018, 4:31 pm

All good here buddy, yourself?

by **Afro** Thu 04 Oct 2018, 9:35 am

Morning folks.

Very quiet at the moment.

I have put up a new Press conference

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 04 Oct 2018, 9:59 am

I am swell Fluxy - morning 'fro

Has anyone got Fifa 19 yet? is it worth buying if so? I'm erring towards not buying this year tbf

Oh also - new Norwich players to watch out for - Jamal Lewis and Max Aarons. 20 and 18 respectively playing LB and RB for us, both look to be exceptional prospects. Aarons in particular made his debut away at Ipswich and hasn't put a foot wrong yet

by TwisT Thu 04 Oct 2018, 10:08 am

Hey everyone, some good questions there Afro. Manager and Player of the year over all 3 seasons? Or just the last 2?

TBF I was thinking this season, but as its Player of the Year, feel free to interpret as you wish

I am waiting for FIFA to install all day today. Wasn't umming and arring about it, but I do like the challenge of starting a FUT team from nothing and playing games to improve it.

It's good can't pace abuse anymore even Aubameyang gets caught by Busquets etc. Defending is rather overpowered at the minute so quite easy to defend.

Will be rubbish for a fifa 19 league though Crying or Very sad

Not enough options to make it worth while

by Marky Thu 04 Oct 2018, 1:15 pm

I've got Fifa 19. Like Fluxy I'm enjoying starting FUT from scratch.

Playing with two XI's, one all English, one World XI, rotating to keep fresh, and upgrading in one position at a time when I have the coins.

by Fluxy Thu 04 Oct 2018, 1:36 pm

There are still some overpowered players in there, just have to find them. Like last seasons FIFA, Butland was immense and Bolasie and Vardy are hard to stop in the right areas.

There seems to be more options for individual players now though.

by **Afro** Thu 04 Oct 2018, 1:46 pm

Olly- just heard Maddison is in the England squad.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 04 Oct 2018, 2:23 pm

Afro wrote:Olly- just heard Maddison is in the England squad.

To think you all brushed off my signing of him on here as merely another Olly Norwich player signing.

Heck of a player. Love him so much, hope he tears it up

by **Afro** Thu 04 Oct 2018, 2:34 pm

Hate to break this, but him being called up for England doesn't mean he's not a 74 rated player in our game still

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Thu 04 Oct 2018, 2:38 pm

Afro wrote:Hate to break this, but him being called up for England doesn't mean he's not a 74 rated player in our game still

It's weird, cos he is only 74 rated but when he plays he's actually quite effective!

The only different option ive seen is defensive position on midfielders tbh angel

by **Afro** Thu 04 Oct 2018, 3:29 pm

I really like what Southgate is doing with this England squad.

From the World Cup, the three things that looked like being the priority were a more dynamic DM, more creativity from the central areas and a LWB who would do what Trippier was doing on the right.

I always felt Chalobah could have been the DM, so be interested to see that one. Thought Foden was the obvious option for the AM, but feel Sancho or Maddison could be too and they deserve a chance on latest form.

Only one still not being addressed for me is the LWB - don't think Shaw is the answer and they should be giving Sessegnon a go

by Fluxy Thu 04 Oct 2018, 3:53 pm

Agree with you 'Fro, would like to Chilwell given a go at LB/LWB. I feel Sessegnon would be great going forward but ignore the defensive duties too much - not through choice, just not being natural at it for that level.

by nadeem2099 Fri 05 Oct 2018, 3:24 pm

Tactics sent. Went for a change of formation so it can either go down very good and I blast away the oppo or I get torn into shreds with my gung-ho approach.

by **Afro** Fri 05 Oct 2018, 3:26 pm

Good luck Nad Ok!

I have this gut feeling that this week is the week my season starts to unravel. Been riding my luck to much in recent games....

by nadeem2099 Fri 05 Oct 2018, 3:39 pm

Think the match between you and olly next week is probably your most important match of the season as that could decide the champion. Hero and twist still very much in it aswell so it looks like it will go down to the final game to decide who wins the title. Exciting stuff!

by **Hero** Fri 05 Oct 2018, 5:17 pm

I'm hoping last season Bale turns up for Nadz in the game as he's been a shadow this season when he's played.

I’ll take the one from last seasons game against you.... Whistle

Was there waiting to be said Erm

by **Afro** Mon 08 Oct 2018, 9:27 am

Morning folks.

Interesting results from the 3 games played so far - are we waiting tactics for the other 2.

As it stands table in the Spoiler below:

Huge game this week between us Afro - mahoosive!

SOMEONE'S 0 HAS GOT TO GO

by **Hero** Mon 08 Oct 2018, 9:53 am

Yeah waiting on Marky and Tino tactics atm.

by **Afro** Mon 08 Oct 2018, 10:04 am

That's a couple of weeks in a row for Tino.

Has he disappeared?

He's been pretty ill tbh.

Semantics.

I think this is my first ever title race in these leagues. Taken me a million seasons but I've finally made it

by Marky Mon 08 Oct 2018, 1:01 pm

Tactics in. I've now decided I want at least one win this season Laugh

by TwisT Mon 08 Oct 2018, 1:11 pm

I think this weeks results didn't have as much as an impact as we thought it would. I know that Olly and I will be kicking ourselves at a missed opportunity.

by **Afro** Mon 08 Oct 2018, 1:57 pm

I genuinely felt that out of all the results, I was the most unfortunate not to get the win. But then I have had a couple of luckier weeks, so it's just evening itself up.

Would have made a massive difference to the look of the table had Silva scored and not hit the post at the end for me.

Twist clinging on by his finger tips in the title race. One of me or Olly guaranteed to get to 18 points, which is the most Twist can get. Also, cant decide whether Hero would prefer a draw or an Olly win in our game next week

Didn't know that. Poor Tino

by Fluxy Mon 08 Oct 2018, 2:19 pm

Was delighted to soak up the pressure from Hero's team this week and sneak the victory. Honestly, thought you would give me a pasting with your line up Hero!

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 08 Oct 2018, 2:28 pm

I was happy with the draw vs Twist, as it keeps him pretty much out of the race - and means the title is in my hands (ie. 2 wins and I win the title), plus he's a good side too, reigning champ

That ponce Hero has no chance

by BamBam Mon 08 Oct 2018, 3:40 pm

For the good of v2 and the rest of the Internet, I'm willing to sell the farm to stop Olly winning the league.

No I am defo out, thought so even before this week tbh. I didn't see you dropping points and needed to beat Olly. Was a good game and happy with the draw too. I think I am now going for top scorer (come on Cavani!)

If Bam is taking care of Olly and I'm taking care of Hero last game; then you should be fine Afro.

Deserved victory, your players wanted that more than mine.

Curse of Pogba - don't know which side is going to turn up

by **Afro** Tue 09 Oct 2018, 7:30 am
