FIFA 09 (The 2nd Online PS3 Tournament)

[Richie S]

Good news the heatsink on my PS3 is faulty and as such its on its way to a better place. At least for 2-6 weeks.

[HailtotheYo]

fuck it

HttK2021 .....

I shall give someone easy entry into the second round

[Baddar]

That puts us back up to 14 with Rich out and HttK in. I'll leave possible sign-ups open until around this time tomorrow. Hopefully, we can have teams sorted out by Saturday evening, so that I can have the first round draw made.

[HailtotheYo]

judging by my skill level .... I'm going to need a really good team

[TheArsenal]

I'm going away for the weekend (leaving tomorrow lunchtime, getting back Sunday evening) so if I seem silent until then, thats why.

[Berry]

I won't be available from sunday to wednesday, as I'm staying at my nans...not my choice!!

I hope I don't miss the start of the tournie

[AJ]

I'm going on holiday on the 3rd of May. I hope I don't miss the start either.

I lol'ed.

True Story.

[Baddar]

Alright AJ, you fucker.

Team claiming time. Remember, no Barcelona or Man Utd - All other club teams are available, unless the guys in the previous tourny wish to keep ahold of their team. The January update has been released, so we'll be using the latest squads as of February 2nd.

I'll start by saying that I'm gonna stick with Real Madrid. I believe Bluebirds is sticking with Chelsea, but I'm not 100% on that.

Visit the link below to see which teams may not be available for selection, due to the person playing with them wanting to stick.

If we get this done relatively quickly, the draw can be made tomorrow night and first round, first leg games can start on Sunday.

[Berry]

I'll take Napoli

[HailtotheYo]

If TA doesn't want Arsenal, then I'll take 'em. If he does, then I'll go with Munich !

[TCO]

I'll stick with Man City. I don't need a 5 star team to do well.

[Baddar]

Was that supposed to be a cheap dig at people using 5-star teams?

If so, then you've certainly picked the team with the most speed demons, anyway. And speed > strength ten times out of ten on FIFA 09.

[Berry]

Take a look at me lol. I'm using a 4 star team ¬__¬

In my opinion, it doesn't really matter if you use a 5 star team or not. The fact that you are comfortable playing with your team is the main thing.

I could've picked Juve for example but I feel more comfortable using Napoli so that's that.

[TCO]

I suppose it was, yeah.

I'm just frustrated of playing them. Going one of them can get you a win when you're clearly not better than the other guy, wither using Rooney, Ibrahimovich or Drogba to brush straight through your players or Torres, Ronaldo and Gerrard to get onto impossible through balls, even though your defender has a 10 yard head start.

I was just pointing out I don't need to do that to win and the speed demon thing is a moot point as all the 5 star teams are choc full of them anyway.

[Berry]

I agree with that, mate. If there's anybody on here that likes using lesser-rated teams and using random teams, then feel free to add me

[AJ]

I'll take Aston Villa. KOA said it was alright earlier in the thread.

Like I said before I think Madrid/Chelsea/Inter are just as ridiculous as Utd/Barca to play against but I'm not great to begin with so I'm gonna struggle regardless.

[Mr.iMPACT!]

As I've said before, I'm claiming Leeds.

[Berry]

Come to think of it, I'm not too sure who to use now, hmmmmmmm.....

I'll have a think

[TheRossWalker]

If someone's took Inter, I'm gonna fuck them up. Or be Newcastle, even though lol, newcastle

...like I can be arsed to read.

Also, Chrissy (christoph_21, guy I coerced into signing up) says he'll take Liverpool.
