Season 3 Team Changes

Why would you doubt that? If there will be a draft then I should be drafting before Blaza and MW. If there won't be a draft, 3 of us get in a cage, whoever comes out of it alive takes Arsenal and the other two won't have to suffer watching Arsenal being used by someone other than theirselves.

I think the way it works is it is pretty much a redraft but you're free to lock your current team and not participate or if you're participating, that means you're making your current team available for the draft as well. Am I correct?

Interesting choices with the Turkish and Greek teams. What's the love for that side of the world?

want to try something new...france is NOT my thing...lol

Why would you get to draft before us? Honestly, I will be pretty mad if two diehard arsenal fans do not get arsenal because a guy has a friend who is a fan and wants to represent their friend and who hates their best player of all time.

And we've already been in a cage, im ahead of you in league 1 and blaza is near the top of premier. Plus, you play the complete opposite style of arsenal. You would not be representing them well (you super defensive, arsenal always attack).

Well since I'm the only one to mention Inter if 57 posts might as well just lock me in. Cambiaso son!

I mentioned Inter! Sneijder is my boy!

Thanks J, much appreciated.

lol

I thought it was 4 1/2 stars or less....isn't inter 5? I don't mind it or anything, but if someone gets real madrid or barcelona, that'll be a bit ridic haha

I thought that Inter was on the same level as the Arsenals of the world?

on the game, arsenal is 4 1/2 and inter is 5. I think they're pretty even though realistically. Like I said, I don't mind inter because they are pretty similar to the 4 1/2 stars, I was just clarifying since i'm relatively new.

It will be 4 1/2 again i think. But with the talking of upping to 5 stars i was just trying to let Cole know i staked my claim for Inter as well.

Lol what a jerk

Ugh... I think I'm pretty clearly worse with Tottenham but its so hard to turn them down. If I'm guaranteed Tottenham, I'll move. Otherwise I think I'll stay here so I don't lose both of them.

Based on how the draft went down for season 2, lowest team to top, then the newcomers, I don't expect it to be any different for season 3. Which would put me ahead of you two. I'm sure you are more of a die hard fan than I am for Arsenal, as a soccer fan I don't think you can compete with me on that department. So in that sense in a way it doesn't make sense I should have priority over any team if it was down to being a fan

Regardless of that, I don't see how it would benefit the league giving stronger players stronger teams. I have played friendlies with Arsenal last night I really enjoyed it. It was fun. So don't worry, Arsenal will be in good hands if I get to compete with them.

I hear you, I'd prefer Turkish or English teams in that sense.

There wasn't supposed to be a draft.. We were hoping guy's would be able to pick teams they like or enjoy. Obviously, If someone was a die hard fan of a team and that team was available, we thought everyone would be mature and allow said fan to take his favorite team, maybe we were wrong. I love Arsenal also but I know how big of a fan Blaza and Mike are of them so I stepped aside and would be happy staying with Juve or rolling with Lyon since I really like them also. The one thing I didn't expect was for someone else to decide that they now want Arsenal and make this whole process a pain in the ass.

This is what I'm kind of hoping happens here:

Blaza (Arsenal) *
Michael (Man City)
ryalaman (Spurs)
Brian (Porto)
Cole (Munich) *
Killer (Napoli)
JFace (Sevilla)
hedache - Obviously, I thought you would be sticking with the Turkish squad. Now you want a EPL team.. What about Liverpool??
Ryno (AC Milan) *
Dylema (Zenit)
Darlon (Everton)
Rich (Aston Villa)
Huskie (Athletico)
Timpegoose (Benfica)
Knight (Fulham)
El Prez (Hamburg)
AJ (Juve or Lyon.. Obviously, one of those would be free to for someone to choose) *
GovernedSpy ??
Steven ??

We still have a couple of weeks to go yet so nothing is set in stone but with that setup, everyone would get a team in their "top two"..

The reason I gave Blaza Arsenal is the fact that he's been a part of the FIFA leagues here at TSO from day 1 last year and seniority should mean a little bit. Michael still get's his second team and a damn good squad also, hopefully he wouldn't be to pissed.

I also wouldn't mind Cole taking Inter but I imagine at least 1 guy would cause a ruckus about that so I imagine he would be happy with Munich seeing they are a step up from Roma and have plenty of skill.

JFace had a bunch of different teams that weren't selected so I just gave him Sevilla, he can change to the one he really wants.

Still a bunch of good teams available if anyone wants to still change.. (Roma, Villareal, Marseille, Valencia, Liverpool, Bortmund, etc..)

Let's not worry about someone getting a team and others thinking the guy is too good for that team. The league is getting more and more skilled players by the day and the fact that Blaza is very good at the game shouldn't mean he can't have his favorite team. He'll still get beat from time to time. Let's face it, is Arsenal that much of a step up over Lyon?? Not really.

* Indicates guy's that have been in the soccer leagues here from day 1 starting in December of 09' so they should get some priority based on seniority.

First, just my personal opinion, but I don't think you should be rewarded for doing poorly and punished for doing well. I bust my ass, after getting last pick of a team, to be in strong promotion contention and it doesn't even matter because the two leagues have dissolved to one. What's to keep someone from bombing a season on purpose to get the team they want? Second, how are you going to say you're a bigger soccer fan than me? I play it literally nearly everyday. I have over 30 jerseys almost all bought by me. My team and player mental database runs quite deep (ask aj). Thirdly, I don't consider it being in good hands when you play such anti-football tactics. In real life, if arsenal hired a coach known for playing so defensively, the fans would be extremely upset, especially if that coach was near getting a team relegated from the second division and 2 other coaches wanted the job who were at the top of their prospective leagues and play the beautiful game beautifully. Lastly, with only 18 teams, your point about stronger players getting stronger teams is irrelevent. There are more than 18 great teams in the world and more teams available with a better roster than arsenal.

oh poopie rich..im guessing i get last pick xD

Plus what time is the re-draft

Wow! Speechless. Of course I always end up being the guy that has to be mature and bend over in all aspects of stuff. If it's such a big deal, if it will make you guys change the system in a way that doesn't even make sense, let Blaza have Arsenal. Don't let the others suffer. I will figure out something for which team I pick. Since I'm ultra defensive maybe I will pick a team that's ultra defensive in real life so this league stays realistic.

Cmon man you have to understand a little bit right? I guess I just don't understand your logic--When we were saying we were Arsenal fans it wasn't just "oh yeah I know who their stars are". Its more "We follow every game, transfer, rumor, happening of the club for the past decade plus". It has nothing to do with trying to get a leg up on the league or choosing the best team available. Especially in the game-- Man City, Milan, Inter, Bayern, Liverpool, etc. etc. all compare pretty favorably to Arsenal. It just 2 guys wanting to play with their favorite team, nothing more.

It would be like if we were doing a Turkish only league and someone jumped in like , sorry bro, my Grandmothers Casino buddy likes Galatasary, GIVE THEM TO ME! lolol
