Guest roberto922 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Rancer I need a hand, in the A-League do the top four from the Regular Season go through to the Hyundai Finals? If that's not how it works could you figure out a scoring system with 200 points for winning the whole shebang. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest roberto922 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Right then let's get going Adam C vs Mikeytwigge Bathing in Beijing Beijing, possibly the most cultured city in the world holds host to the Olympics this year, despite that their football team is nothing spectacular to be honest (The Chelsea of China)despite that they will be lucky enough to have the Birds Nest as their home from 2009, your job is to do what you can to bring them success and help them match their Olympians achievements. Scoring System: Win the league: 200 Points 2nd Place: 175 Points 3rd Place: 150 Points 4th Place: 125 Points 5th Place: 100 Points 6th Place: 50 Points 7th Place or lower: 0 Points Win the FA Cup: 50 Points Final: 40 Points Semi Final: 20 Points Quarter Final: 10 Points Lower: 0 Points Bonus Points: Beat one of your fierce rivals: 10 Points Beat one of your other rivals: 5 Points Achieve a bank balance of over £6million: 5 Points Xu Yunlong scores more than 10 league goals: 10 points Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roberto922 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Man U King vs Glenn UK Victory is yours... or is it? G'day mate, welcome to Melbourne Australia, the land of the sky scrapers, Koala bears and the famous word G'Day, just don't go messing with those Mantas they're real vicious. Anyway we've arranged a ticket with the famous Melbourne Victory, they're the best in the A-League and as a quarter finalist I expect you to uphold that tradition. Scoring System: Win the Hyundai Finals: 200 Points Semi Final: 150 Points 1st Place: 100 Points Lower: 0 Points Win the Pre-season Cup: 100 points Win the 3rd place Playoff: 30 points Win the 5th place Playoff: 10 points Win the 7th place Playoff: 5 points Defeat both of their rivals (Sydney FC and Adelaide United): 10 points per victory over Sydney and Adelaide (Pre-season Cup and Regular Season only) Score at least 30 league goals with a striker: 10 points The scoring system will probably change once I've hopefully got a new scoring system off Rancer890 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roberto922 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Bealesy vs Spartans5 Purse or Puree Meseurs? Get your suitcases packed as you head out of Europe and into Asia, Indonesia to be accurate. You'll be staying at Jaypura and helping their local team Persipura to a title, if you're good enough that is. The hopes of a club rest upon your shoulders, don't dissapoint! If the scoring system isn't quite right do forgive me, they've got a pretty strange league system. Scoring System: Win the Indonesian Premier League Final: 200 Points Reach the final: 150 Points Win the third place playoff: 125 Points Win the second phase: 100 Points Win the first phase: 75 Points 2nd Place: 50 Points 3rd Place: 40 Points 4th Place: 20 Points 5th Place: 10 Points 6th Place: 5 Points 7th Place or lower: 0 Points Win the Indonesian Cup: 50 Points Reach the Final: 25 Points Semi Final: 15 Points Quarter Final: 5 Points Lower: 0 Points One of your players has more than 10 MoMs in the first phase: 10 Points Score the most league goals in the first phase: 10 Points One of your players scores at least 4 hattricks: 5 Points Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankee doodle dandee! welcome to Los Angeles the land of airheads and beach bods, there's been a helluva buzz around these parts since that ponce Beckham showed up, the only problem is the rest of the Galaxy plays like Brett Angell!

rancer890 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Oh, um, scoring system lol? I never played in the A-League but I'll try my best:o Man U King vs Glenn UK A-League's Melbourne Victory Scoring System: Win the Hyundai Finals: 200 Points Semi Final: 150 Points 1st Place: 100 Points Lower: 0 Points Win the Pre-season Cup: 100 points Win the 3rd place Playoff: 30 points Win the 5th place Playoff: 10 points Win the 7th place Playoff: 5 points Defeat both of their rivals (Sydney FC and Adelaide United): 10 points per victory over Sydney and Adelaide (Pre-season Cup and Regular Season only) Score at least 30 goals with Archie Thompson: 20 points And may I suggest a bit more points for the LA Galaxy challenge:D (I know the MLS a lot more than the A-League) rancer890 vs roberto922 Scoring System: Win the MLS: 200 Points Reach the Final:175 Points Semi Final: 150 Points Win the MLS Western Conference: 100 Points Lower: 0 Points Other stuff I'll like to add: Win the US Cup (nothing less): 100 points Win the Superliga (I think they are in it...): 100 points Reach the Final: 75 points Reach the Semi-Final: 50 points Sweep the series against Chivas USA: 50 points At least 25 assists from Becks (league and cup only): 50 points At least 25 goals from Donovan (league and cup only): 50 points Average 27,000 fans in the Regular Season and Playoffs: 50 points Win an individual award with any member of the team (excluding MVP): 50 points Win MVP with any member of the team: 100 points Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roberto922 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 No lol, I won't know when I've won points lol, keep it simple , thanks for the A-league though. I'll add the following for MLS as I'll know if I've won them lol. Win the Superliga (I think they are in it...): 100 points Reach the Final: 75 points Reach the Semi-Final: 50 points At least 25 assists from Becks (league and cup only): 50 points At least 25 goals from Donovan (league and cup only): 50 points If you explain the rest of it to me I'll consider them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancer890 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Ok, I'll explain them (as the MLS expert in this thread:D) Sweep the series against Chivas USA: Chivas USA are their main rivals (after the San Jose Earthquakes relocated to Houston, but the Earthquakes are back for FM09), so I thought maybe some points against their rivals would be cool. They even share the same stadium lol. Win the US Cup: I surprised you never heard of this, the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup. It's the equivalent of the English FA Cup, so I think points should definitely be awarded there (considering there are points for the FA Cup in your other challenges). I personally never played in the US Cup since I always play as Toronto FC, and Toronto isn't part of America;) (Thank God lol). Average 27,000 fans: straightforward enough. The Galaxy average nearly 26,000 at the Home Depot Center so sticking another 1000 people in the seats shouldn't be that hard:D Win an award other than MVP: there are many awards in the MLS. The full list is here MLS Awards. I think you should get points for winning an award, but it's your call roberto if you want this. Win MVP: straightforward. Win the Most Valuable Player award. With all the star players like Ruiz, Donovan, and of course Becks on the team it should be straightforward. Of course, this is no easy challenge, considering the Galaxy fired Gullit and Lalas last week. I hope this clears some things up:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest roberto922 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Thanks, question for you: Galaxy has a wage budget of 22k which they are sticking to apparently despite the fact that Becks is on 66k p/w, why :confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rancer890 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Thanks, question for you: Galaxy has a wage budget of 22k which they are sticking to apparently despite the fact that Becks is on 66k p/w, why :confused: MLS Expert:D: The MLS has a Designated Player rule where one player can be paid more than the league maximum, US$325k a year I think, and the player doesn't go against the league cap (your wage budget basically). And you can't allocate transfer budget to wage budget and vice versa, as your wage budget is fixed in the MLS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roberto922 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Cool, I've got a 22k wage budget and 120k transfer budget despite the fact that they've paid Beckham £250m over 5 years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
