[Fantasy] Neowin Soccer Manager League


Recommended Posts

Seems pretty good so far. I think you might have to consider allowing transfers from unmanaged clubs though because it's virtually impossible to sign any players at the minute. I understand why it's off but with so few managed teams there's hardly any players to choose from and people won't want to part with their players in fear of not being able to get a replacement in.

I can only change the rules once per season, so I can't allow people to buy from unmanaged clubs as yet.

The reason I did it was to protect the teams at the start of the game, as I had no idea how many poeple would sign up for this.

At the end of the season, which is in a few weeks, I think I will lift the rule though :)

after steadily losing my team points ive decided to change from the flat 442 to the 433 diamond hoping to kick fiorentina arse tonight and get my title challenge back on track

don't forget Martyn, you've got me before the end of the season lol (which probably wont scare you at all :p) lol

Nice one, you've got a nice little cushion there with only 7 games to go.

But where's the division 2 table?! That's the most important one! lol

I'm currently in the playoff places so hopefully will be joining you big boys soon!

I'm 5 points ahead with 8 games to go, and I am quite pleased with that consider Inter were 10 points ahead at one point. I have tough games against Barca, Inter, Real and Man U coming up one after another soon...so I am bound to drop some points. I got to the final of the cup as well and lost 2-1 to Lazio :(

This game is definitely about finding the right tactics for your players though. You can have the best squad, but if you don't find a suitable tactic you will not be challenging at all. I've had great teams on other setups and done poorly, but on this setup I seem to have found the right tactic for my team at the moment.

Table update (including Division 2 this time ;))...

You're looking good for the title Martyn, only 6 games left now and 9 points clear - I think you've got it in the bag. Only a Newcastle 'I'd love it if we beat them' type self destruction would cost you now!

I think 2 draws in a row have cost me automatic promotion but hopefully I can hang on to a playoff place and go up that way. Looking fwd to being able to sign a few players next season!

Hopefully yeah! I play Barca, Inter, Real and Man U in my next four games so I can easily lose 12 points :p

I'm undecided on the rules for next season. I'm pretty sure I will allow all managed teams to buy from unmanaged clubs, although I may just allow managed teams to buy from external clubs (clubs which are in none of the leagues). I'm open to opinions from everyone, but I don't want new players to join the league and pick a team only to see all their best players have been sold!

I know what you mean, but the best players are crazily expensive and the chairmen prevent unacceptable deals from going through so I don't think you'd find all the stars gone from a team.

Buying from external clubs could be fine, providing there is a large pool of players to choose from - it's annoying going on the transfer market to look for players and only seeing the 2 players I put on there!

Anyway, do what you think is best mate.

seems like we had a good match there marty man, 3-3 flamini, ibrahimovic, ibrahimovic - torres, torres, mascherano

our def mids and our star strikers scored :p

if you get relegated with Arsenal Crazysah, will you sell me fabregas? lol

Congrats Martyn!

Looks like 2 straight defeats have cost me automatic promotion - can't see me winning the last 3 and the other teams slipping up :( Any idea how the playoffs work? I hope I can go up - I don't want to be in the Bot league again next season!

Cheers mate :)

The play-offs work in exactly the same way as they do in real life; you play a semi-final against another team in the play-offs and then a final against another team if you are successful. Good luck!

...good luck to you as well Crazysah, you can still survive relegation :p

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.
    • People in the '50s and '60s had the same attitude, and we're still here over a half century later.
    • So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
