[Edgar Davids]

[Constantinople]

Who are Slackers?

[Maddude]

Cath wants cathletico replaced, lpc in?

[Menso Pelaez]

Shit of champions league with only 4 countries and 4 teams per country...
I know spanish teams that would slap more than 50% of the teams there

If there is 3 or less players from one team on kick-off, def-lose for that team is called. Because of that it is highly recommended to have at least 8 players in the team. Of course in really dramatic situations(electicity shut down in big area, whole team is sick) there is possibility to move the match on another day. Excuses like "my best player is not available" are not accepted.

LOL.

[Maddude]

Mebbe we should send 4 teams of 2 teams together or somink.

[Prizzle]

This slackers team is no problem :) #masterchefswag

Except that the only funny thing about this is that FM is the only haxball community with ridiculously small roster limits.

Not ridiculous at all. We play 3v3, 5 man squad is perfect for 3s. Any more and players would never get a game. If you wanna cry about FM you know where the Log Out button is. I do think we'll struggle sometimes for fielding 4 players though.

Newsflash: we don't play just 3v3. We play 3v3 and 4v4, plus the best teams play in the Champions league. And we might switch to only 4v4 in the next season.

Any more and players would never get a game.

Are you saying this, because you're not good enough to be in the first line-up, if the roster limit gets increased?

What is the roster limit for football teams? 12? 15? The point is not to field everyone, but to have a competitive squad at all times. Are we a some sort of a senior amateur league? Players have different qualities and the strategy and formation can be changed to fit the style of play employed by the opponent. When you have a roster limit of 5 people:
a) there is no variation;
b) there's always a risk of a player or two missing.

The second point would be invalid, if matches could be moved if a team can't field enough players, like it's done in every other league. If there's an unexplained wish to stick to a fixed schedule, the roster limit should be increased.

We EASILY have enough players to do that, so I can't see a single reason why it shouldn't be done.

A Div 2 team who loses in the first round of the cup plays 14 3v3 games and 1 4v4 game. Hmm... Yeah...

You might be a dick and not be fussed about leaving like 5 players out of a team but there is some captains on here that aren't keen on leaving players out, especially a load of players from the way you're sounding. I was a captain in the first season and part of the second so I know it isn't great leaving out players. You're sounding like you're selfish care more about winning then everyone getting to play, at the end of the day its a flash game. I'm sure 90% of the people on here would rather be playing first team Haxball in a 5 man squad in the league then be the 7th choice in an 8 man squad. We don't need massive squads for a league that is mainly 3v3, it's a dickhead move that and I'm not even thinking about myself, I don't care if I'm a first choice player in a Div 1 team or 10th choice in a Div 2 team.

In my mind, the league comes before the Champion's League, so sticking with 3v3 and 5 man teams is great.
