[Fantasy] Neowin Soccer Manager League


Recommended Posts

Seems pretty good so far. I think you might have to consider allowing transfers from unmanaged clubs though because it's virtually impossible to sign any players at the minute. I understand why it's off but with so few managed teams there's hardly any players to choose from and people won't want to part with their players in fear of not being able to get a replacement in.

I can only change the rules once per season, so I can't allow people to buy from unmanaged clubs as yet.

The reason I did it was to protect the teams at the start of the game, as I had no idea how many poeple would sign up for this.

At the end of the season, which is in a few weeks, I think I will lift the rule though :)

after steadily losing my team points ive decided to change from the flat 442 to the 433 diamond hoping to kick fiorentina arse tonight and get my title challenge back on track

don't forget Martyn, you've got me before the end of the season lol (which probably wont scare you at all :p) lol

Nice one, you've got a nice little cushion there with only 7 games to go.

But where's the division 2 table?! That's the most important one! lol

I'm currently in the playoff places so hopefully will be joining you big boys soon!

I'm 5 points ahead with 8 games to go, and I am quite pleased with that consider Inter were 10 points ahead at one point. I have tough games against Barca, Inter, Real and Man U coming up one after another soon...so I am bound to drop some points. I got to the final of the cup as well and lost 2-1 to Lazio :(

This game is definitely about finding the right tactics for your players though. You can have the best squad, but if you don't find a suitable tactic you will not be challenging at all. I've had great teams on other setups and done poorly, but on this setup I seem to have found the right tactic for my team at the moment.

Table update (including Division 2 this time ;))...

You're looking good for the title Martyn, only 6 games left now and 9 points clear - I think you've got it in the bag. Only a Newcastle 'I'd love it if we beat them' type self destruction would cost you now!

I think 2 draws in a row have cost me automatic promotion but hopefully I can hang on to a playoff place and go up that way. Looking fwd to being able to sign a few players next season!

Hopefully yeah! I play Barca, Inter, Real and Man U in my next four games so I can easily lose 12 points :p

I'm undecided on the rules for next season. I'm pretty sure I will allow all managed teams to buy from unmanaged clubs, although I may just allow managed teams to buy from external clubs (clubs which are in none of the leagues). I'm open to opinions from everyone, but I don't want new players to join the league and pick a team only to see all their best players have been sold!

I know what you mean, but the best players are crazily expensive and the chairmen prevent unacceptable deals from going through so I don't think you'd find all the stars gone from a team.

Buying from external clubs could be fine, providing there is a large pool of players to choose from - it's annoying going on the transfer market to look for players and only seeing the 2 players I put on there!

Anyway, do what you think is best mate.

seems like we had a good match there marty man, 3-3 flamini, ibrahimovic, ibrahimovic - torres, torres, mascherano

our def mids and our star strikers scored :p

if you get relegated with Arsenal Crazysah, will you sell me fabregas? lol

Congrats Martyn!

Looks like 2 straight defeats have cost me automatic promotion - can't see me winning the last 3 and the other teams slipping up :( Any idea how the playoffs work? I hope I can go up - I don't want to be in the Bot league again next season!

Cheers mate :)

The play-offs work in exactly the same way as they do in real life; you play a semi-final against another team in the play-offs and then a final against another team if you are successful. Good luck!

...good luck to you as well Crazysah, you can still survive relegation :p
