[ShearMagic9]

Also - if you have one of the first cup matches can you please post/PM me your squad/tactics for that game when you do it for the first league match? Means I can get through it quicker

 

[archiemoses]

Two games in a row against El Gladiators del Pep.

I will have to go through his team!

Great work FC!

How will we know if our players are injured and their condition.

Excited!

 

[ShearMagic9]

I will post it in here.

At the moment everyone is fit for everyone.

I'll do an injury update before a match takes place.

EDIT: Just to clarify, the second lot of those cup matches aren't for another 4 weeks in the game.

 

[Jessica Watson]

FC will tell us if there's any injuries?

 

[Special88]

Great work, looking forward to this.... Also.. do we have to nominate our penalty and corner takers?

 

[Jessica Watson]

Awesome, a win first up in the league.

 

[ShearMagic9]

You can send me corner/free kick and penalty takers if you want - but generally if none are set the FM engine makes the player with the best ability take that set piece.

 

[Jessica Watson]

Great work, looking forward to this.... Also.. do we have to nominate our penalty and corner takers?

Not a bad idea actually - have a look through your squads stats and see whose penno taking is the best and don't nominate him imo.

 

[Godzke]

Reply here or in PMs?

 

[ShearMagic9]

Whichever you prefer Godzke.

 

[archiemoses]

Godzke how will you lineup?

 

[Jessica Watson]

Meh.

Go away BigFooty, stupid site.

He's going to line up

Keeper
Sweeper
Left Back - Left Centre Back - Centre Back - Right Centre Back - Right Back
Defensive Mid - Defensive Mid - Defensive Mid

Striker

 

[Godzke]

Whichever you prefer Godzke.

Godzke how will you lineup?

Right. So I'll be PM'ing it in then.

I assume, after this, I'll just be on autopilot? Hopefully that's an option in the game. :S

 

[ObaMartins]

I know it will be a pain, but a new thread for every 3 games (per week)? Because otherwise I'm going to be very confused (easily achieved.)

Perhaps bring the admins attention to this and give SM9 mod powers over this sub board. Sounds like a joke given he was supposed to be on a perma ban but surely common sense will prevail.

Would help greatly if SM9 could manage/merge/lock threads for simplicity and organisation.

 

[SebastianVettel]

Haha anyone who thinks BF will give him mod status after what went down is delusional!

Was surprised TIG and he were even allowed back! Of course I only rocked up late this year, so I had no part in it.

 

[ShearMagic9]

Yeah, someone can PM Fred and link him to the work I'm doing here but I wouldn't hold your breath.

Will start a new thread after every week.

SM9 didn't even do anything wrong imo.

That TIG bloke caused all the trouble.

 

[SebastianVettel]

That TIG bloke caused all the trouble.

Was him and bus IMO.

Shame they don't post anymore. Were good value.
