[Jimmyboy]

I'll be in it but I haven't a clue what I'm supposed to do?

[Professor Abronsius]

Yeah i'd be up for this if you're short of numbers and someone wants an easy route into the next round... :D

[Cockeye]

[Da Outsider]

How do you sign up?

Xbox Live > Online Game Modes > Online Leagues > Search Leagues

Then just put DVDFX in the abbreviation bit, search and it should come up.

[MrSpeed]

Still need to sign up...must remember to do it later!

[Br00n]

im in with atletico

[MrSpeed]

I'm in with my DVDF League side of Everton.

I had probs with the password and then realised not no use a capital F at the start.

[Sheepking]

Think we can probably get started now. :thumbs:

[MrSpeed]

Hopefully can get started soon :)

[fadeaway53]

I've already played 4 games (2 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss) :)

[Br00n]

I've already played 4 games (2 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss) :)

Lucky draw as well ;)

[Da Outsider]

Is everyone using their league teams?

I signed up with Real Betis but I'd rather be rid of them if I can.

[MrSpeed]

I read it that if you were allocated a 4 or 4.5 star team in the league, then you had to use them. If you were given a 5 star team, you had to pick a new one...at either 4 or 4.5 star.


You'll be glad to hear that new league teams will be allocated before season 2 :D

[gookin_belfast]

forgot to sign up for this last night, is it full?

[MrSpeed]

I think there was 12/20 when I signed up yesterday.

[Tommy_matt80]

[gookin_belfast]

I think there was 12/20 when I signed up yesterday.

[beta]

Too late to enter?

I'll take anyone...any team that is :p

[Da Outsider]

[Cockeye]

Cant be in as someone has taken my team :(

Not prepared to be anyone else as still in the main cup and used to the way my team plays.

Thanks for setting up anyway!

[gookin_belfast]

[Ghost Dog]

I'm away from home for the weekend but i'll be back on Monday and will be able to play games pretty much any evening/night from then on though.

Ive accidently chosed Milan, because I was stupid and didnt read the rules under the leage info! can I change my team at all? or quit and rejoin?

[smiller]

I'm in :thumbs:

Ricky - when I quit and tried to rejoin the first league, it wouldn't let me back in :cry:

[scottwilson82]

I just realised it says use your league team. I haven't done that but have picked Rangers instead. That Ok?

[Steve Parkinson]

This is full now i take it? When you search for a league using the required term and no results are returned, i'm guessing that means that particular league is full :)

[beta]

I am in with West Ham

[Deron]

Love to join...

But deffo not with Celtic...

Bilge of the highest order. I'll join the next one when we (hopefully) have new teams.

Have fun.

[koe_182]

has this fallen on its a**e? i've played most of the regulars but there seem to be plenty of people in who i am not familiar with who never ever seem to be online! :razz:

[The Grateful Ghoul]

I have broken up from work now guys, so please if anyone see's me online please send me an invite, and I will pop over.

If you want arrange the best time to catch you leave a message on here.

[smiller]

I'm around, now any good Ghoulie?

Suggestion - post up your scores here, as it loses the sense of community and momentum if it's all done via the Live league interface IMO.

[The Grateful Ghoul]

I will be on in about 20mins matey

[smiller]

I will be on in about 20mins matey

Cool :thumbs:

[smiller]

smiller 4-1 Grateful Ghoul

Played mate, I got in the zone to get to 3-0 before half time, but second half was much closer. Cheers :thumbs:

smiller 2-1 fadeaway

Very close game, I had the better of the first 20 mins or so but then you got the first of the game. Got an equaliser and then it was anybodys, back and forth with chances either end, could have gone either way. Played, cheers :thumbs:

[smiller]

smiller 2-0 daoutsider

Slightly against the run of play really, counter attacking game paid off in the end though. Cheers mate, well played and unlucky :thumbs:

smiller 3-1 DarloKev

Even game with glaring chances missed at both ends (usually of the woodwork) Played mate, cheers :thumbs:

[smiller]

Scott and my game disconnected from his end, giving me the 3-0, which is a bit lame. Looking at the latest scores, looks like this happened between Scott and fadeaway as well.

Suggested to Scott that we see what happens in the league, if our result makes any difference then we'll play our game and see what happens, hope thats ok with you Sheepking (not much else we can do).

Yeah same happened again. Not sure if league admin can wipe the results and we can start again? Was using the 360 wireless dongle thing but have gone back to hard wired, much less hassle :thumbs:

[scottwilson82]

scottwilson82 2-0 Da Outsider

Chance after chance for Outsider but my GK played immensely then I managed to nab one on the counter before securing the win with a 2nd in the last minute. Well played and unlucky mate:thumbs:

[The Grateful Ghoul]

smiller 4-1 Grateful Ghoul

Played mate, I got in the zone to get to 3-0 before half time, but second half was much closer. Cheers :thumbs:



Well played mate, I was taught a harsh lesson in football by the legend that is Smiller. I wouldnt mind but it's a lesson I have had for the last 6 years :lol:
I thought in the second half If I could just pull it back to 4-2 I may get something from this :lol:

Well Played mate, and look forward to my next lesson :suspect: :thumbs:

Thanks for not mentioning when I got a straight red card for fouling your player outside the box as he was clean on goal!

Good game.

If anyone sees me on Live just send an invite and I'll be there.

no chance, no one is ever online!!!!

[smiller]

no chance, no one is ever online!!!!

I've been online quite a bit, and will be a bit later.

Problem is, with it all being on Live, no way from here to remember if we've played :nuts: Shame there isn't a way to view the league over the net (or is there?)

[scottwilson82]

Don't think there is. I'm not home until the 27th now so can't play any more until then. Only seemed the same ones online whenever I was.

[smiller]

Think this is further proof (in addition to the aborted first FIFA league) that leagues need to be run off here and not on Live. Keep posting up here guys!

[The Grateful Ghoul]

Whenever I have been on I send an invite and wait around for 5mins and nobody ever comes :(

I agree that it is better to run a league on here, as you know exactly who you have to play and when by.

I get the impression when sending an invite people don't know who you are lol

[Br00n]

not everybody comes within 5 minutes m8 :lol:

[The Grateful Ghoul]

not everybody comes within 5 minutes m8 :lol:

Don't tell the Mrs :n0rty:

[Br00n]

I'm up for a few cup games tonight if anyone cares to spawny a win against me ;)

[smiller]

Should be on from around 9:30pm, don't think we've played yet?

[MrSpeed]

Thanks for the game earlier smiller :thumbs:

I was lucky to hold out for a draw...especially when one of your shots rattled the woodwork. Had to jump offline straight after the game otherwise I'd have liked another one.

[smiller]

Yeah cheers mate, close one, didn't really ever get going but thought that move deserved a goal rather than breaking the woodwork! Good fun :thumbs:

[tpr007]

I'm up for some online FIFa09 (360)

send me an invite anytime! (i'm rubbish BTW)

[Br00n]

anyone on for games tonight i havent played??

[scottwilson82]

Anyone around just now?
