I'm thinking of running a game similar to what Fnord does with the FWL for next season and similar to the game we all play on the Premier League fantasy game.
Difference being I'd like to do something in that we all pick 1 player for GK, Defense, Midfield and Attack as well as some substitutes, with 1 on of your players being from a selection of leagues such as La Liga, the Championship, Serie A and the Bundesliga
What do you guys think?
Brilliant idea, Im in.
Yes! Might give me more motivation to use my ESPN subscription.
I think more players = more fun, i.e a full starting 11 but that could add up to a lot of work
Count me in for this.
Did you ever decide if you were going to do this mate? I'd certainly play if it happened
Sure. Lets sign up in here, I'd like to get at least 10 people to do this. I'll drum up some rules and points for tomorrow.
..still in.
I'm not super educated on all the players on the international level, but I know a majority of the good ones. I'll give this a try.
Also still in.
I'm,in
Could be a good idea. Up for it, but more would have to be laid out I guess?
Nice Idea, not sure how it would work, but you are the brain child not me!
I'll have to get this sorted for next season, I'm running out of time right now lads and I really don't have the time to currently run something like this.
I could step up and run it this season if that'd be cool with Rob.
---
Just a quick brainstorm.
We could do:
1 GK, 2 DEF, 2 MID, 2 ATTACK
- Make selections from anywhere in world football.
- Scoring would be for All competitions (League, Champs/Europa, Domestic Cups)
- Clean Sheet = 6pts, Goal Scored = 6pts, Assists = 3pts
- Handicap Messi & Ronaldo? LOL
- Themed rounds ala - Pick from A League - Pick from a Nationality
Of course Cory, go for it
Alright guys, Im out of town this weekend but I'll set it up and have the "draft" going by Sunday night.
Draft Outline:
Rounds will be themed. Teams will consist of:
1 GK
2 DEFENDERS
2 MIDFIELDERS
2 FORWARDS
I've made the decision that MESSI & C. RONALDO are illegible for the draft, they are two that could almost single handedly win you this little game, so in the spirit of keeping things fair, they're off limits.[/b]
SCORING SYSTEM:
GK + DEF: Clean sheet = 6pts
ALL: Goals = 6pts
ALL: Assists = 3pts
ALL: Red Card = -2pts
DRAFT ROUNDS:
1. OPEN ROUND
2. EPL (ENGLAND) ONLY
3. LIGA BBVA (SPAIN) ONLY
4. OPEN ROUND
5. BUNDESLEGIA (GERMANY) ONLY
6. LIGUE 1 (FRANCE) ONLY
7. OPEN ROUND
ROSTER MANAGEMENT:
-- Obviously if a player gets injured, you can add/drop a player, but no mix matching if a player is playing like shit.....kinda the risk in this game. You'd just need to post in the Discussion that you want to add/drop someone due to injury.
What about 3 man substitute bench too? Just for those eventualities like suspensions and injuries.

ALL: Goals = 6pts
ALL: Assists = 3pts
EVERYONE BUT GK: 75 min + = 2pts
ALL: Yellow Card = -1pts
ALL: Red Card = -2pts
SEASON EXPLAINED:
- So, the week AFTER the draft has been completed, scoring will begin. League matches and Europa/Champions League games. So chose wisely your team, with a team destined to go deeper into cups and what have you, more points to be had.
LEAGUE SCORING WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE FINAL GAME OF THE SEASON FOR THE LAST REMAINING LEAGUE (I THINK LIGUE 1 RUNS LATEST).
DRAFT ROUNDS:
1. OPEN ROUND
2. EPL (ENGLAND) ONLY
3. LIGA BBVA (SPAIN) ONLY
4. OPEN ROUND
5. BUNDESLEGIA (GERMANY) ONLY
6. LIGUE 1 (FRANCE) ONLY
7. OPEN ROUND
8. SERIE A (ITALY) ONLY
9. OPEN ROUND
10. OPEN ROUND
ROSTER MANAGEMENT:
Weekly Starting 7 -- So kinda like Fnords wrestling fantasy, every week you need to set your lineup of your GK, 2 def, 2 mid, 2 attack , if you fail to post your updated lineup, I will automatically use your last posted lineup, so kinda stay active in that regards.
BENCH/INJURIES:Outside of your starting 7, you will have a bench of 3. These will act as your "reserves" for the length of this season. Feel free to swap out anyone when your post your lineup, if you feel they have a match-up advantage or anything. If a player on your team suffers injury, you will have to swap him out for one of your bench players.

My apologies as I am pretty unfamiliar with anything other than MLS and EPL.
With that said...
First pick is....
Lionel Messi
QuoteI've made the decision that MESSI & C. RONALDO are illegible for the draft, they are two that could almost single handedly win you this little game, so in the spirit of keeping things fair, they're off limits.
Oh well shit... Give me a second.
Well, I am shit at this.
I'll go with RVP.
Radamel Falcao
Jon, dont be so hard on yourself lol, RVP very solid pick.
Edinson Cavani
FC Rob pick Xavi from Barcelona
I see a slight problem in differentiating "Wingers". Should we categorize them as midfielders, or attackers? We'll go with a majority rules vote on the subject guys.
Most fantasy football sites list the wingers as midfielders.
Robert Lewandowski
Thats the way I was gonna view it as well, when creating the setup for this game. If anyone has a problem with wingers being classified as midfielders lemme know
Gareth Bale
Neymar.
Going to go about this differently to the rest...
Dani Alves for my defence
AND
Joe Hart as keeper
Always see them as midfielders.
Its only really when a team plays a 4-3-3 and spearheads it with a CF and 2 #wingers#
Aguero.
Luis Suarez
Wayne Rooney
Mata, Chelsea
Christian Benteke
Edin Hazard
Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas (Spain, Real Madrid)
Attacker: Antonio Di Natale (Italy, Udinese Calcio)
Quote from: Jon on August 20, 2013, 12:18:19 PM
Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas (Spain, Real Madrid)

The rounds are themed man, we can take Casillas for round 3 (its a Spain only), but your last pick had to be a player in the EPL, so swap Di Natale out for someone.
My bad...
Round 2: Yaya Touré (England, Manchester City)
Round 3: Iker Casillas (Spain, Real Madrid)
its obvious why strikers are going first.
Same points as a clean sheet. easier to score a goal than keep a clean sheet IMO

With the rounds above do you think we should have Serie A somewhere? Perhaps instead of the other Premiership round?
Also wanted to check about reserves. Are they meant to be DEF, MID and ATK each or can they be whatever?
^^
TOTALLY missed Serie A, I'll change round 8 to that, and the reserves can be used any way you'd like. Id like to think it'd be smart to pick a def, mid, attack, but its totally your call.
My bad, sorry for holding the game up.
La Liga pick is Koke.
Spain pick: Cesc Fabregas
Open round pick: Marco Reus

I calculated at the end of the first open round that no one else could pick him until I could again because of being at the end of the snake haha
Thomas Muller
Manuel Neuer
Franchise with the unreal pick. My top keeper is off the board now.
We will also have (thought it went without saying) 24 hours to make your pick. If you miss, you'll be able to re-pick once the draft is over.

Fernando Torres
Seamus Coleman, Defense (Everton)
I have just decided to make the game simpler to me.
Originally the scores/points were going to come from: League, Domestic cup, and Europe Cup matches. I have decided to eliminate the domestic cup, as the tracking device to make keeping score of this game no ridiculously hard doesn't include domestic cups.
I dont see this being an issue at all, as 85% of the time its reserves getting the playing time in domestic cups until the semi-finals or so.
So you'll get points for:
League play + Europa Cup/Champions League.
Willian
Final round guys!
Finish my team with two defenders...
Marcelo from Real Madrid
Francisco Juanfran from Atletico Madrid
Also, players transfered wont affect how you drafted them (i.e round theme), so looking at it, Bale and Ozil are fine.
Can't believe this lil guy slipped through. Rounding off my team with... Jordi Alba.
Vedad Ibisevic

genuinely think I have the best team

One thing I will add is add your final team rosters here/draft thread when completed. Ill merge the draft thread with this one, and create a fresh new thread for the first week.
Cmon BLADEY
marouane fellaini
Theo Walcott
now Jon can bring us home.
Bastian Schweinsteiger
Is there any add/drop time or we stuck with our teams we drafted until end of Week One or whole season?
thats what Im unsure of, ill take suggestions as to how we can do that, trades as well.
Trade will be allowed, player for player.
As far as a "waiver/free agency" period, not sure how we would decide priority or if we should set a max add/drop number (i.e can only dip into FA 3 times a season)

I think if you drop a player from a certain themed round, you have to pick up a player according to the same theme.
Quote from: Jon on September 05, 2013, 11:28:22 AM
I think if you drop a player from a certain themed round, you have to pick up a player according to the same theme.
Boom, there we go. Will add/update the rules.
On the fixtures for each league you have provided, just be careful because it doesnt have every team listed as playing when they are.
For example
Milan and Napoli arent showing in the 'fixture list' but if you select an individual team it shows them as having a fixture.
ROSTER MANAGEMENT:
You can add/drop players ONLY during international break weeks. This gives you the opportunity to swap an injured/cold player, with still rewarding those of us who don't need to drop someone. Updates will be posted during an international break period to give you the opportunity to add/drop players.
International Breaks:
September 6-10
October 11-15
November 15-19
**More to be added in early 2014**
If you decide thatr during this period you want to add/drop a player, it must stay with the same theme in which the player your dropping was drafted. i.e if you're dropping Messi and you picked him during the La Liga round, the player you replace him with must play in La Liga as well.
Sounds good.
BUMP, remember to post your starting lineups this weekend guys!
Dorling will be joining us, drafted from the players remaining, once I confirm his team via PM, he'll be in the game!
I've just had a look at the scoring. Is there any way MOTMs could be added? I don't know if the site you're using to check on results have them but that's the only thing I can really see that's missing.
Maybe have MOTM's score double points?
Quote from: Rob on September 10, 2013, 03:19:26 PM
Maybe have MOTM's score double points?
I was thinking more or less do a captain thing where you designate a captain for double much like the EPL fantasy....
Id need everyone to vote off on this and we'd be able to do it next week.
I'm happy either way.
Yeah I'm down with the majority.
4/9 agree, ill wait for everyone else, no rush as it wouldnt happen until week 2 anyways
Fine by me
5/9
Ok by me.
just need MDK and Franchy to sign off and well add captains to scoring.
I'm fine with it but I'd still like MOTMs to get a few points if possible like on the premier fantasy game! haha
Fine with me.

Id just be too hard to find that information for EVERY match I think, like french league games are already gonna be tough to find assit totals and stuff, as I dont mind spending like 20-30 mins updating, but I think for the sake of making it eaiser on your boy here, 1 captain for double points.
If after a few weeks I find it easy to find MOTM, Ill try and add that.
Fair enough. I didn't know how feasible it'd be ha
I still think I have the best team ><
Quote from: Rob on September 15, 2013, 12:57:11 PM
I still think I have the best team ><
Yet so far have the least amount of points of all teams...
My team isn't doing half bad much to my surprise.
Just need to figure out how to do this Monday games thing.
Its fair to assume that your original set lineup wont change from week to week, but esentially with Monday being the lock in day, it means those who have players playing Monday games will have to rush to set their lineups if they dont want said player playing that week.
I think for future reference, I'll start the following weeks topic on Saturday, so its gives you a few days to set your lineup for the Monday game + early Champions League games on Tuesdays.
Will this work with everyone?
I think you just need to get the threads up for the gameweeks well in advance, with the deadline being the monday, and the gameweeks being Tues-Mon (which should incorporate any midweek or champs league games).
Yeah if the game weeks are set up a few days before that should give people the chance to sort their team's if they want to make any changes.
I assumed that with picking teams Monday it was that Monday that counted for points. I was looking at fixtures actually hoping that a player had a match on the following Monday so I could leave him out for one week and have an extra game the next lol
All I know is that David Alaba has been a fucking stud for me.
Current weekly totals going into Sundays games:
Blade 52pts
Cory 49pts
MDK 35pts
Flins 34pts
Jon 33pts
Jerry 24pts
Rob 20pts
Franchise 18pts
Dorling 13pts
Flins you haven't picked a captain mate.
Cheers. For some reason, if the huge letters didn't remind me...
Leaving out Ribery last week proved to be a wise move ::)
wonder where MDK is...gonna autolock if he doesnt set lineup after im off work.
I'm on holiday so will stick with same team until I'm back Saturday
Man, I knew Koke would rack up some assists, but I think he's had one every game so far. Makes up somewhat for the dumb decisions I have made, like leaving Aguero out the week he grabs three goals.

Pelligrini finally realised he was TOO good to be sat on the bench
Yep, which leaves me with a dilemma now, since Neymar gets points for Barcelona consistently and Mandy seemingly scores every week.

Quite happy to trade you a dud for Aguero? lol
Lol, not sure about that. Heads up btw Blade, Benteke is out for 6 weeks.

Yep, as a Villa fan, I know that!
Unfortunately, Milan don't seem to want to put faith in El Shaaraway. he will be gone in the transfer window unless things drastically change

Not really through playing
Iniesta and Hazard look to be gone this coming transfer window as well.

Iniesta will die a Barca player
..i thought we were talking about our games transfer window LOL
QUICK IDEA:
I know this is the first year of the game and there will need to be improvements made next season (i.e better scoring for GK's, as if they dont get a clean sheet, they get 0, maybe more points for defenders that score goals, ect)
BUT, I'd need to feel where everyone is with this.
Im thinking we add something to the table. The scoring/table rankings will stay, but lets add some realism to the table.
A) The top 4 teams come the final 2 weeks will qualify for "EFK Champions League" and over the final 2 weeks weekly, elimination head2head games until there is a "EFK Champions League Winner". The person with the most points regardless will win Season 1 of EFK Fantasy Footy, but give a chance for others to win.
B) Relegation battle. Flip the tables. The bottom 4 teams come the final 2 weeks will have to duke it out to not finish last. The LOSERS move on (If A beats B, A is safe and B moves on) until only one team sucks enough to LOSE IT ALL.
C) I'd like there to be 3 things to win, so you could win the "treble" but again looking for feedback on this. So essentially, much like the EPL table, come the end of Yr. 1 of EFK Fantasy Footy there will be:
~ EFK Fantasy Footy Champion
~ EFK Fantasy Footy Champions League Winner
~ EFK Fantasy Footy Relegation Loser (would be cool to come up with a funny name, i.e the Sacko from "The League".
Yeah, I like those idea's.
I would like there to be a way that we can add more realism and more of an effort from us, rather than just picking players and going from there. I'd love to find a way to somehow incorporate the way Fnord does trades, waiver wire and pick-up/drops in FWL but I can't think of a fair way of doing this. I think this is what was stumping me when I was thinking of doing this...
I do think however that it should be limited next season to only league games and no CL, Europa or other competitions.

Excellent, the kinda feedback I wanna get, since this game was your idea, everyone else feel free.
but on the current season at hand, :) @ Falcao
god thank us all that MDK didnt set a captain this week....that coulda got nasty.
Damnit Real! Losing 1-0 now as I post this.
Blade didn't set a captain man
I will make note for the auto-locked teams this week (MDK, Dorling, Flins)
that because of my error of making the thread 2 days late, you can substitute out anyone that didnt play today (Tuesday). Only this exception will be made, come Wednesday and the 2nd leg games of Champions League, you will not be able to modify lineups.
How are we going about the transfers? Free for all? Do we just post who out and who in?
Did I get my RVP captain points?
lets try and get far less auto locks in next week guys
I thought if we had no changes, it didn't matter?
I honestly thought I had done it already.
Fuck you Rob, who do you want for Ibrah?
I don't suppose you could give me Emma Watson...?
New leader, damn.
Big week from Franchise.
Doesnt hurt having both Suarez and Bale, if he only knew how to use the captain rule, he'd be dominating.
And to think I was in the bottom two awhile back.
I will be cutting the game short due to lack of interest, not knocking you guys as this was a test run for the game, but the game will complete in week 20 (rather week 40ish) , and there we will crown the winner. So still some time for someone to make a push.
Fair enough mate. You've done well running it though! haha
Gonna do the final week results tonight, as of right now, Franchise holds a lead over Cory by 9 points.
Im going to go back and confirm all the scores (with it being so close), but as it stands here is the preliminary final table for the first season of EFK Fantasy Footy league.
1. Cory 789
2. Franchise 786
3. Rob 704
4. Dorling 634
5. Flins 601
6. Jerry 589
7. Blade 579
8. MDK 562
9. Jon 471
Obviously this was the first season, interest and activity kinda died out half way in which made it difficult for me to continue to run the game, but I understood with this being a trial run there was gonna be issues. Shout out to Franchise for not only taking it to the wire, but posting his lineup every week....as well as Dorling for a top 5 finish, picking a team from the scraps left over....lord knows what would of happened if he picked with everyone else.
I will be open to running this game again next year, but with it taking me around 20-35 minutes to update it each week, there will definitely be more restrictions (maybe less league...damn Portuguese league lol), and a higher level of commitment (some of you had people who played less than 25% of the time starting every week), but it was fun, especially for the first month or so.
So with that being said, any suggestions for next years game, leave them here and well revisit it come next season. Cheers guys, and if anyone can whip up a banner (maybe make one for this year, and one for next year), that'd be great.
