NeoGAF Npower Championship (Xbox 360, FIFA 12)

jbaMVbIOZMc6Gj.jpg


Welcome to the inaugural NeoGAF Xbox 360 FIFA 12 Npower Championship. After gauging interest within FootyGAF, a few of us decided it was worth trying to set-up a competition for those of us who play are addicted to FIFA 12.

When playing each other please remember that we all belong to the NeoGAF community. When playing, be respectful, and don't be a dick. This includes trying to work a deflection off the keeper, or pressing the keeper during a goalkick. Just because it's a competition doesn't mean all forms of class go out the window. Thanks!

I mistakenly forgot to mention in the PM to make sure you wait until it is your pick. The Current team on the clock will be in big bold letter in the OP. Sorry!

If I'm on the clock, I'll be home soon to make a decision.

One question, is there anything that shouldn't be done/considered cheese? I mean I don't know if there is or isn't so if there is something I want to make sure to avoid doing it.

Woohoo, just came back from drinking, didn't expect this.

I'm choosing Leeds United

Hope I won't regret this drunk choice.

Only rule we've had for previous leagues is no goal poaching the keeper. Let the other players keeper always get rid of the ball without pressure.

So if the opposition keeper messes up a short kickout you have to kick it out of play? Sounds fair enough.

I might be mistaken but I think he means when the ball is in your keepers hands and you try to throw or kick it. Sometimes people stalk the keeper to get a lucky bounce/block.

Was seriously considering Milwall and getting a red card every match but decided to go Southampton

Tore between two, but seeing as we're posting badges I'll go for the one with the best one in the entire English league:

0,,10433~9369925,00.jpg
 
Week 1 and Week 2 fixtures are posted! You have until Sunday, March 10th, to get your games done! If everyone gets they're games done prior to Sunday, we can start the next two weeks early!


Also, try and keep track of who scores the goals and who gets the assists so we can keep some extended statistics!

Finally, please let me know if there is anything that could be added to the OP or that you don't like in the OP. Thanks!

Yurt is a PS3 boy.

Also, we're doing two games a week, but we will probably be towards the end within the month.

I will
ragequit

But come on, Juve style, I'll be proud to keep up the name.

Awesome, Awesome! I'm adding my first two rivals later!

PS: Shogun PaiN your list is full :(

I will make some space later on and send you an FR.

One thing not to forget for the Home side is when you set up the online friendly lobby - MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE SQUAD SETTINGS AS ONLINE AND NOT CUSTOM. That way we have the latest updates and no custom pro's or players can be used.

Good call, adding that to the OP now.
 
Birmingham CIty 4 - 0 Derby County

In a remarkable match with a Fahey hat trick, the counter-attack style of Birmingham City proved effective as Derby County's keeper failed to make a single save in the game.

GG mshlive.

Good game, you were very unlucky not to score. Thats probably the first time I've ever scored with Fahey, never mind a hatrick with him haha.

Here's the goalscorers & assists for the stats:

Goals (assists)

Fahey (Zigic)
Fahey (Reddmond)
Zigic (Fahey)
Fahey (Mutch)

Good game.
