OUT OF CHARACTER BOARD

[Rob]

Really? Improve my team and become 8th in the east? Really? Don't think it will be that bad for me

[Ty]

Miles Peters, 'Miles Above'?

Yeah, the Rogers Neighbourhood one was decently good, considering what you were working with pun wise, i do give you credit.

James, you've helped me filter ideas in that past, no shame in using me. If it werent for you and your 'Kool Under Pressure' idea (which was brilliant btw), I would have used inKreased Performance. Still better than How do you spell cool? Krease one...

Flanders you did kinda go a bit lazy with though. Flanders... Commander Flanders duh

[GM Franchise]

I almost went the Simpsons route and went the Alaska heritage route instead...yeah, should've gone Simpsons with it.

[Ty]

Rob.  Big Bang Chang, Come join the Chang Gang, Who Rang? Just Chang, something about praises to be sang... Rhymes + Pun = Gold

for Cunningham, 'The most Cunning Man' Scott Cunningham. or 'His opponents go 'oh damn' when they play Scott Cunningham'

Tons of gold

[Dorling]

I almost went the Simpsons route and went the Alaska heritage route instead...yeah, should've gone Simpsons with it.

Surely it would be The Sampsons in FBL world...?

Nice to see pretty much all of you have written off the Aces and any of my players from any awards!

[Rob]

Yup, same here Chris with my Diamonds, I'm not bothered though. There was all this pressure for me to get to the play-offs last season once everyone started saying I had a good team... I don't want that at all

To clarify the donate button for FBL is not the one on EFK.

It is the one on www.tfwf.net or t_f_w_f_wrestling@hotmail.com with a paypal transfer.

Thanks, my first stag do is in a weeks time so I will toast a few beers to your geneoristy gents and lady.

Seeing as most people blanked this. I donated £10. I'm sure it would be nice if we were all to show a bit of appreciation for this wonderful game Ian has created in which we all spend so much of our time obsessing over

Q'S CORNER: SEASON 12 PRE-SEASON ADDITION

A lot of moving, signing, and trading took place over the offseason heading into a very exciting Season 12. The addition of new expansion teams, San Diego and Birmingham, made teams scramble to find the missing pieces to a FBL Championship run.

We saw some one sided trades, we saw some eye popping signees, and we saw some legends return to the FBL.

And that'll do it for this addition of Q's Corner. Hope you enjoyed. Until the next time...

Q OUT!

I don't think you can judge who's a good and bad trade until these players have played some games. You call Davis Newton a bad free agent signing but I wanted a cheap bench player that could play both PF and SF and that's what I got. I don't see what's so bad about that. Everyone's so quick to pass judgment on the Nik Bliss trade but you've not seen him play a single game for me yet. And finally, I don't see how I am 8th in the East now? I have a player that actually plays in the PF position, Cunningham and Apollo have both improved, I have a dedicated, focused captain, I have potentially the best coaching set up in the entire FBL. Both worked wonders to get Foster, playing in the wrong position and Kradle, a bad choice all round, to go on an 8 game winning streak which included beating the FBL Champions.

[Ty]

No worries Rob, he also noted that my trade to obtain my backup combo guard (who last year called Boise the perfect place for him to be) and my assistant coach (when on a tight budget) a bad trade. Ill show him yet

I see both 8th place picks from his predictions making the payoffs.

[Jon]

Surely it would be The Sampsons in FBL world...?

Nice to see pretty much all of you have written off the Aces and any of my players from any awards!

It's you against the FBL, remember?

[Ian "Wolfie" Trumps]

Further super thanks to...

JReb, Jon, Dorling, Rob and Strike for their donated cash to the 'we love fbl fund' which is mirroring as me using it for said celebrations in a few weeks.

Guys I am very overwhelmed thanks very much!

[Steven]

Don't count Roswell out early this season. I'm loving the look of this team!

[J-Reb]

Don't count Roswell out early this season. I'm loving the look of this team!

Roberts looks like an absolute steal for you.  Make sure you appreciate Mark Brown!
