Well, what's better, having players compete to try to win places in teams, or having players rot as a 6th player in a team? As if there are 6 players in a team, managers who want success won't play all 6 players, except for the rare occasion that their players aren't available.

You're making things up now.

As for my team, if the roster limit would be 6, FM would gain 1 new player. If it was 10, it would gain 5 new players. Is it not better to have more players and better, more competitive teams with less 2vs3, 2vs2, 3vs4 games and awkward position changes due to someone not turning up?

I've had all 5 players turn up to every game. Every one of my players can play at least 2 positions - so no 'out of position' is necessary. Therefore your point is entirely invalid here.

I've had all 5 players turn up to every game.

What's the probability of that happening 15 times in a row?

Are there 80 players in this community that are good at hax and able to be online every evening? No.

Every player that I picked for my team was online every night before the season started. Now one of them disappeared completely before the 1st Cup round. Is that something I could've predicted before? No. Does that hinder my chances of advancing to the 2nd round? Yes, it does. Would such a problem arise with a bigger roster limit? No, it wouldn't.

Every one of my players can play at least 2 positions - so no 'out of position' is necessary. Therefore your point is entirely invalid here.

Everyone can play several positions, the level of play though is going to differ. You don't see David Villa playing as a central defender very often, because Puyol has been injured, or Xavi as a GK?

Basically, the only thing you've said is that you don't want to have 6 players in your team. I'm not arguing with that, because it's your choice.

The question though is, why shouldn't other teams have 6 players on their roster if they feel that this would improve their game?

We've got 30 players rotting in the reserve league and loads of others that aren't free agents yet/anymore. We don't lack the players, so where's the problem?

>Haxball =/= Football, there is a vast difference between the skill levels needed for haxball and football.

>Well, personally I'd rather see players playing regularly in a reserves league, and showing off their abilities, rather than playing very occasionally.

i will take that reserve league comment as offensive

thanks

i will go cry now

:(

Players that don't know anything about our tactics and who are not used to the style each of us play. No chemistry.

>Haxball =/= Football, there is a vast difference between the skill levels needed for haxball and football.

I could've used ice hockey or foosball in my analogy, it's not about equating football with haxball, but about underlining the fact that players have certain strengths and weaknesses, which make them more suited to a specific position on the field, just like in any other team sport.

Well, personally I'd rather see players playing regularly in a reserves league, and showing off their abilities, rather than playing very occasionally.

Again, false dichotomy. *facepalm* It's not a choice between a reserve league and players sitting on the bench in Div 1/2.

"I'd rather see players regularly playing in Div 1, rather than playing very occasionally in the reserve league." What now? :>

Players are not slaves, they can quit a team and join the reserves if they want to. Your argument is invalid.

If the players and the captain want to play in such a team, why shouldn't they? Because you don't like it?

Surely you must be aware how silly this statement is?

Of course. Cam made things up (6th player never getting to play; 6th player forever stuck in a team that doesn't play him; no reserve league once the roster limit is marginally increased) and used that to justify his position. I did the same to show how ludicrous that is, that's all.

But they're not comparable. One is very likely to happen in most teams, one isn't. Can you guess which is which?

I think everyone's talking about their own team here, I was talking about mine. Every player rotates and gets equal playing time in NL and I surely don't want to keep anyone in my squad against their will. So in my case the statement I made makes a lot more sense. No idea how the things work in other teams. If other teams have slave-players, maybe that's the issue that we should focus on first.

BEST OF LUCK TO ALL THE UK TEAMS IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TOMOROW

I hope a team from 365 or FM wins it :D

[Girgensons]

Why the fuck a division 2 team is completely randomly representing FM in the Champions League?

Who made that decision and how is that fair in respect to other teams?

That 'divison 2 team' would probably wipe the floor with yours. Don't put teams down just because they're division 2.

This calls for an un-friendly friendly.
