Brad, have you thought about how it'll work in the final round to get it down to two players, and one eventual winner?

Brad, question question

So for example, I should email Franco with my first and second choice picks and then post it in here once we've agreed?

If I PM GazM first though, what is to stop him from just agreeing with my choices until I pick someone that he reckons he can beat?

Score system is wrong.

It should be split into three groups. Defenders, Midfielders and Strikers.

Example 1:
Striker scores a goal = +3
Midfielder scores a goal = +4
Defender scores a goal= +5

Example 2:
Striker assist= +3
Midfielder assist = +2
Defender assist = +4

Try and be sensible about it folks. If you do encounter a particular problem, PM me and I'll sort it out. There are plenty players to choose from in each game

haha, yea obviously its not wrong, I didnt mean to piss you off either.

Was supposed to be a suggestion I reckon the "Score system is wrong" didnt make it so.

I think you should do that though. Better than making an assist better than a goal.

Fair enough. But the current scoring system keeps things simpler, and that's what we want. So thanks for the suggestion, but no

So, brad, I'm supposed to pm you a player from the game and then you reply with either your player or the same player at which point if it the same player then I bring up another player until we both have different players.
Is that right?
