(F13) Serie C Discussion

Gentlemen, welcome to Season 8! This is my first full season as a commissioner, so I hope I can fill Friz's ample shoes. A few things to keep in mind -

* PLEASE make an attempt to schedule games early in the match week. Even if you can't play them early, getting on the site and letting your opponents know your availability will prevent a lot of headaches down the road with scheduling issues. Waiting until the last minute is when we get clusterfarked... which leads to

* Unplayed games WILL be penalized. Period. Unplayed matches will be postponed for two weeks, at which point they will be cancelled. (For example, this week's matches will be closed on Jan. 23). Unplayed matches will result in yellow cards being issued, three of which will see a manager removed from the league for the duration of the season. A determination will be made as to whether managers made scheduling attempts to play unmade matches before cards are issued. But I WILL be staying on top of this.

* Winning team records and posts stats, home team in the event of a draw. A game is not determined to have been played until the stats have been posted! So if you're playing someone you know to be habitually lax in posting stats, you may want to jot them down, regardless of whether you won or were the home squad.

* Any dispute you have with another manager should NOT be dealt with in an open forum or thread. Doing so will result in a red card being issued. If you have a problem, you can send them a PM and discuss it like adults. Send a message to myself or RedAL925. While we're all competitive at heart, this is a game, this is a community. And a damned fine one.

* Just a refresher as to what stats we're looking for and the format I personally like to see them in. If you could PLEASE color-code the stats, it would be a big help so I'm not trying to figure how who from which team got the stats, I'd appreciate it.

As always, if you have any questions or problems, drop me a line. Good luck this season, boys. And have fun. If you haven't already set up a Twitter account, do so now! And if you haven't set up a club page, do that, too!​

 

I hate starting off on the wrong foot, but as posted, I will be on vaca until late Friday. Spent a week with the in-laws, got lots of pent up aggression. Look forward to playing everyone, both new and old. Good luck to everyone this season and thanks as always to Frenchie1916 for running our division

 

A few reminders, lads.

One of ther stats we keep is clean sheets. I fyour keeper gets a shutout, or the game ends in a nil-nil draw, please note the names of the keepers so I don't have to go lookin' for 'em.

And PLEASE make sure you download the latest rosters. You should do this as a habit every time you load up the game as the first thing you do. That way, if a game pops up, be it a friendly, Coppa or league game that you hadn't scheduled, your rosters will already be updated.

To do so, follow these steps:

Customize FIFA > Edit Teams > Change Squads/Rosters > Download Updates​

 

Where's this Cimmy24 character

 

We're trying to figure that out now. He had expressed his interest in returning to the league, but that may have hit a snag.

For now, let's assume the position is unfilled and there's a vacancy in Serie C, to be filled ASAP.

 

What should I do about my match day 1 game against him? And Stephane Ruffier had a clean sheet in my copra game

 

For now, you only have two games in the first week. When we get someone to fill the spot, we'll go back and backfill to make up for unplayed games.


And the table and stats only cover league games. there's a separate table, etc. for Coppa matches.

 

Ok

 

Hey, guys!

My sources deep in the northwest region of Germany have confirmed that, effective immediately, the legendary Thomas Schaaf will forfeit his coaching duties for SV Werder Bremen and assume the recently vacated role of technical director. dooz will be hired as manager, effective immediately.

My source revealed that it is hoped that dooz's playing career as an Italian international defender will lend strong tactical and positional awareness to the side. His time in La Liga, though, will surely have influenced his attacking philosophy in a positive manner.

According to my source, the usually composed former central defender has had his first dust-up with a staff member when dooz was greeted at the Weserstadion with a sign reading "Willkommen in Bremen Dooz". It is currently unclear as to what upset the new manager.

More details as soon as their available.

 

Welcome Dooz! Enjoy as this is a great league on a great forum with some very good guys !

 

Thanks! Can't wait to get my first game!

 

Welcome bro. Are you replacing Cimmy?

 

Yessir. Looks like we're scheduled to play. Are you free?

 

glad to see someone take over Bremen after playing w/ them all of FIFA 12. Good luck!

 

Thanks!

 

Can you take a quick spin through this post, just so you know what we're looking for (particularly where stats are concerned. If you win a match or are the home team in a draw, you have to get the stats afterward and post them. Grassy ass!

 

Done!

 

any of you new guys Photoshop (or other equivalent)-savvy?

 

I'm not.

 

No

 

How often do you guys play games. I may be interested in joining.

 

3 matches per week on average

 

Well if there's an opening let me know. Id like to give it a shot. I'm not very good but I enjoy playing fifa.

 

Ill put you on the wait list

 

Ok gents I am going to have to vent here.....I know I shouldn't post after another bullshit loss by I have had enough. This has nothing to do with my opponent as he played fair and sim. This has to do with the game itself. First off let me state that I am not a good player and I have no issues losing. I know why I barely finish a scoring chance, it's because I suck. I miss easy goals all the time...I can deal with that because it's my ability or lack there of that is the cause of it. What I can't take anymore are the scripted 90' goals. You can add 45' minute goals to my disgust with this game also. I just played Skill_tricks in what WAS a great game. Granted he is much better than me but I was somehow able to put one in the back of the net to take a 1-0 in the 35th minute. He dominated on offense and defense as he had more shots and I couldn't muster another SOT. I will add that miraculously in the 45th minute after creating only one chance the whole first half I had an easy goal but of course missed the net entirely. It could have been 2-0....ok whatever. He finally breaks thru to even up the score in the 55th minute. Great intense game...I am trying as best as I could to hold on for a point......guess what happens? He scores a goal in the 90th minute. I have no problem if it was legit in the sense if he earned it, please don't take offense Skill_tricks, but all of a sudden my guys all become retarded from passing, to defending to goal tending. Of course I have a pass go errant for an easy turnover. My guys decide no need to defend...let him walk thru...mind you I have it set to play defensive. He has an open shot which initially hits the post but of course none of my defenders would clear the ball....why would they do that?? Oh and to add salt to the wound my stupid ass goalie who made great saves all game decides to stick his head up his ass and let the ball go right by him so that the lone opponent can easily tap in into the net. I am sorry...total BS. Took a great experience and ruined it. I was so disgusted that I punted the ball out of bounds and basically just gave up anticipating the final whistle at any second. Well guess what? He proceeds to score TWO more 90' goals.....I mean come on....if that doesn't prove that the game is scripted then I don't know what does. I truly don't know if I can play this game anymore. The sad thing is this is a great league with very good guys.....
