My opponent (FC) is yet to name his team.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

My opponent (FC) is yet to name his team.

If he doesn't pick in time (still has until tomorrow 6am GMT) then his assistant will pick the team and he will get a strike, he already has 1 strike so needs to be careful

 

[Sidcricfan]

He is active for the PPCL, so I guess he will be posting his team in time.

Both full backs out so Marchena plays out of position at LB and Gyan is in for Pato who has been dissapointing so far

Thanks Sully bhai,, too many distractions on PP itself these days. I nearly forgot about the soccer league.

 

[sully3]

its ok Freelance bro, i just thought id remind you

also 1 more team left which is Pak Jazba

 

[Space Cat]

We haven't once had everybody on time.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

I know I previously disagreed BUT I reckon every 24hours might be better, need to speed things up a bit

 

[sully3]

I know I previously disagreed BUT I reckon every 24hours might be better, need to speed things up a bit

exactly this is so slow

most people get their team in a matter of few hours after the match thread opening then we wait around for 2 days

Ridicules

 

[Pak_Jazba]

Sorry for the delay guys. Was bit busy.

I'm trying out a new formation Ibad. If you could just plug this one in instead of my 442.

GK - Given
DR - Corluka
DL - Balzaretti
DC - Zapata
DC - Sakho
DMC - De Rossi
MC - Juninho
MC - Granero
AML - Hazard
AMR - Sidney Sam
ST - Higuain.

 

[sully3]

all teams are in

 

[King_Rizzy]

Ibad is more than likely sleeping now as it's 3:30am in Pakistan.

 

[sully3]

Yeah I know Rizzy look into shortening the deadlines please it's taking ages and unfair on the majority of posters who post their team a few hours after the thread is made

 

[King_Rizzy]

I can't make a decision on that, it's up to Ibad because end of the day, he's the one who has to sim. I've run this competition before on another forum and simming this takes longer than PPCL, much longer. Simming this everyday is not easy.

 

[Ibad17]

@Pak_Jazba: You can't change your custom formation now. You need to give me either your current formation or one of the default formations

 

[Ibad17]

Yeah I know Rizzy look into shortening the deadlines please it's taking ages and unfair on the majority of posters who post their team a few hours after the thread is made

i know that it is unfair for those who name their teams earlier but if we give them one day then it will be unfair for some of the managers who are not able to get their teams up.

 

[sully3]

i know that it is unfair for those who name their teams earlier but if we give them one day then it will be unfair for some of the managers who are not able to get their teams up.

fair enough mate i guess there is nothing we can really do

BTW why are u up at this time of the morning? Sahri

 

[Space Cat]

Im pretty happy with once every two days as im occasionally away for a day. However if everybody has named their team a day early then I have no problem with it being simmed earlier.

 

[Ibad17]

time is over.
@Pak Jazba: your formation was not accepted. so your assistant will handle your formation..

LOL! last game eto got injured this game FAb.

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

idiot assistant, I didn't even want to start with 2 players that got the worst score

also 30 shots and I only score twice, frustrating

 

[kingusama92]

Where is our match (Kings United v All Stars XI)?

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Where is our match (Kings United v All Stars XI)?

Great result for you

 

[kingusama92]

Great result for you

Yup, 5-2 is quite good even though his team was weakened defensively.

Was still hoping to see the screenshot.

 

[Pak_Jazba]

This formation just isn't seem to be working out for me. 11 shots compared to 30?
Got extremely lucky. Any idea if I could use any of the default FM formations Ibad? or will I have to go on with the same formation for the rest of the season?

you can pick a formation from the match formations thread

 

[murphyslaw79]

3rd 2-1loss on the trot. Annoying

 

[King_Rizzy]

Aguero you beast! A shame Samba got sent off.

 

[murphyslaw79]

Ibad, how come the team I picked did not play?

Loads of changes to the actual XI I posted.

 

[Pak_NM]

Yup, 5-2 is quite good even though his team was weakened defensively.

Was still hoping to see the screenshot.

Aye we got the expected hammering. Congrats KU

 

[Sidcricfan]

Conceding in the 80th minute! We always take lesser no. of shots at goal.. will be changing tactics as soon as I get the chance to..

 

[Sidcricfan]

@Ibad I listed Beria to play LWB, but Carlos played. Is that also bcoz of the assistant?

 

[sully3]

loosing 4-2 on penalties such BS

no matter what formation i pick i loose, i wish i had FM to check which was the best formation for me

 

[Space Cat]

won with a goal in the first minute.

21 seconds it took to score.

 

[Genghis]

Ibad did you go with that team? Missing about 4-5 players from those I selected. I wanted to rest a few players, but seems like all the regulars were playing. Wasn't that silly assistant was it?

On the plus side, still a win for our boys, but worried about Sagna injury. He's been playing well all games. Hopefuly nothing serious.
