Im gunna try organise an FA cup which is open to 16 players, ill see if there enough interest.

Everyone is a different english team - 2 legs - ill see whether people want 10 or 15 mins - Injuries off - Attributes normal (green) - Home team can pick how many subs and pauses - Undecided with extra time and penalties, id rather do something like replays until someone wins (i think it used to be done like this anyway) ill see what people prefer.

Ill keep the thread updated with the tournement table and do a draw each round.

Post your Gamertag if your interested and who you wanna be, (itd be good if we could do it without the big 4) but if your really bad then its OK. Ill maybe let in scottish teams.

I'll be the glory hornet boys so watch out

Group Stage Tables

[bailster]

I'm up for it and would also agree that the big 4 should be kept out. mik3 ran a tourney like this previously and all teams were fairly well matched without Manu, Arsenal,Liv and Chelsea.

[bailster]

If we can pick teams I'll go with Boro. They're my team and although it prob rules me out of winning the things I'd rather be them than anyone else.

C'Mon Boro!!!

[Kanduru]

You never know, boro are a bit of a cup team

Hopefully people wont mind being the lesser teams and the spots will fill up quick

[SuperSportBilly]

I`ll have a go at this please - Newcastle if we are choosing teams.

Had a go at pesforum.co.uk and I was towards the bottom of the league but had competive games - the guys over there are serious. They play a league of 34+ games in about a week.

We are a little more relaxed here - perhaps too much so given that the last league / cup fell a bit flat. Lets get some signups and see it through chaps !

Thats not true you have 3 weeks to play 30+ games which is 1 or 2 a day

[zappo25]

Ill sign up as Fulham please

When it starts could someone message me on XBL as im not to active on thes forums

GT : xhCfMx James

[Noggleboggleman]

I'll sign up too - I'll be Bolton! I haven't played much though - so go easy on me...

[whackydre]

Hey count me in!
Put me down as everton

[Kanduru]

OK everyone that has posted is added to the list, just eight more to go.

Iv decided it will be 15 min, 2 leg games but still not sure about extra time or replays, definetly no penalties though.

Yeah no worries ill do that when it starts

[Noggleboggleman]

My gamertag is Noggleboggleman as well, just in case you were wondering!

[whackydre]

Hey guys let me know when we are gonna get kick off going!
And final rules

[Kanduru]

OK will do.

All games will be 15 mins and no extra time or penalties will be played.

I thought there would be more interest for this but as theres 8 of us maybe we could do a small champions league maybe?

2 groups of 4 with top 2 going onto the semis, play everyone in your group twice.

let us know what you think, should we do that or give it a few more days for the original tourney?

[deysworld]

may as well give it a few days and see what happens? btw, if we do a champs league, we should do it without the 'big' teams. if so i will have first pick which is athletico madrid.....

[SuperSportBilly]

Doesn`t look like we are going to get 16 so I agree 8 team Champions League style is the way forward. Lets just stick with the teams we have chosen to avoid further delay / complications.

Cheers

[Kanduru]

Im gunna start te cup with a champions league format, i put thedraw up soon, same teams.

If anyone else want to join in just add your name to the thread and we can still do the original one.

[Kanduru]

OK so i did a draw on random .org and these are the two groups. everyone plays each other in their group twice,onehome and one away

Group 1

Newcastle
Tottenham
West Ham
Bolton


Group 2

Watford
Middlesbrough
Fuhlam
Everton

If you look at the first post there should be 2 group tables attached which ill keep updated. Top 2 go through etc .......... we all know how it works

Try and get the games done in good time and keep me updated

And good luck
