Kain Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Had 5 Brazilians and 4 Uruguayans this morning. Thankfully I had Robinho, Forlan and Sneijder so today isn't a total write-off, but trying to make up 25 points in my work league is looking a bit unlikely now.

sean_oc16 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Suarez as captain means I'm stuck with him in my XI and have to drop one of Messi, Higuain or Villa No doubt whoever I drop will score the most points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 FIFA have awarded the first goal yesterday to Sneijder: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/world_cup_2010/8785289.stm Hope they get the scores updated to reflect this, but I'm 95% sure they said they wouldn't do that.

Razzler Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Players who have been eliminated will not change in value. Are you sure? If everyone removes Messi now and buys Klose then Klose's value will go up and Messi's will go down, won't it? It's just no one will buy the Argies now but if you're holding them they may go down a bit whilst others rise Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just no one will buy the Argies now but if you're holding them they may go down a bit whilst others rise It's from the official rules. I also have a few dead-wood / eliminated players for a number of rounds (well, they are cheap, they free up funds) whose values remains the same.

Razzler Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Ah, yes, I have some Kiwis and they're still 1m come to think of it, player values will rise though, I've made changes already from here on it's 4 teams playing 2 games anyway, final and 3rd place play off so not much to lose except gambling on Spain winning and if they don't I probably wouldn't bring too many Paraguyans in. 23 players is a lot, no point in making loads of changes, can have a team with 7 or 8 players from Uruguay/Holland as that's the first game and you can only change the next day for the other semi, I'm happy to use about 16 of these players tops, anyone scores a 5 or 6 they're probably staying in tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscillate Wildly Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Someone somewhere is going to have Klose and the entire German backline in their team, and will rocket up the table tonight. But it won't be me. Oh, Diego. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe__the__man Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Took a 15 point hit and only got 78 points in the first place. Bad, bad round Reckon there's no chance of me winning now, unless all those around me are in the same situation. I do think I've got a strong side for the last two rounds though.

Pablo DiscoBar Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 92 in the end. A good round. Considering a 9 point hit which will leave me 10 points off the lead in my private league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo DiscoBar Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 Does anyone else think they might do away with the bonus points in the fpl game and incorporate the new attacking/defending bonuses instead? They always bring something new in to follow on from the World Cup and Euro Championship games like the Head to Head Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I am sure Premier League did 'head to head' and wildcards before UEFA/FIFA games did it. I doubt it. To be honest I haven't really felt much difference with these attacking/defensive bonus. I guess it makes defensive midfielders more important but then they'd have to raise values. Some seasons back bonus for clean sheets for midfielders in the Prem game was 2 so a clean sheet meant a 4 if they played 60 mins. I think this meant having a cheap top 6 defensive midfielder made them decent points scorers so they changed it to 3 it is now (booking and it's freaking 2, ffs!). They seem to move away from defensive players being so important other than bench players. I expected FIFA scores to be bigger tbh, defenders with clean sheets are getting 8 or 9 but I was expecting higher than that tbh so it's not really been noticeable. I haven't really checked player by player what they're getting for each thing though but I would if it was the Prem. They seem to want to make the Prem easier and easier though and most of the changes seem to be towards keeping people interested later in the game. This isn't such a problem for a Euros or World Cup as it happens in a short space of time unlike the months and months of a Prem league season and keeping people coming back to the site and not losing interest the whole season. Btw, I didn't benefit from the emergency captain once this season ... damn new ideas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
