I know this sounds selfish or whatever but, i hate defence, i suck at getting the ball from players and would be much better up front/mid. Either change my position or swap me for someone else, defence really isn't worth me coming off COD5.


I'll be honest, it doesnt sound selfish - it IS selfish.

It's all getting a bit heated in here...

With regards to team selection, I am trying hard to be fair. I have dropped players who have played games, it is quite hard balancing 16 players for 10 positions. I had to bring in a few of the guys who hadn't played before and have been keeping a list on my PC of the number of games that people have been playing.

I think that only 3 players have played all three games, Cuttooth was kicked early in the first and didnt show for the rematch that night and Shaun was an attempt to keep some calm in the middle of the pitch. I am the other player who has played all three games.

Other than that a few players have played 2 games, a couple who would be on three were dropped (Puffin and Rog) so that debutants could come in. At the end of the series everyone should hopefully have played about the same number of games, I am trying to give everyone a game first and foremost.

If Adam isn't interested in playing defence either DML or Nook can play - I know people do not want to play defence, again I am trying to rotate it, everyone seems to just want to play midfield.

Seeing as DML hasn't played at all yet, he should get first choice of any spare places. I'll be around though to fill any others if required.

DML played in the first game that you did too. I'll put him in and you are top of the reserve list.

Nook can play, I've made arrangements now.

I havent been selected for a single game (albeit I got to fluke an appearance in the rematch of Game One along with Nook). My main grievance is people being so picky about their positions. For future games though - please consider I'm a DEFENDER, and have never asked to play anywhere else.

I don't want to moan - so I won't. But if you could have a little bit of faith in me and Nook it would be massively appriciated. It wouldnt be so bad if we had been constantly winning, but seeing as we've lost all the games, and in the last game we had two men sent off and conceded five goals - mass rotation where we've not been rotated in at any point smarts a lot.

Yep, well played everyone. I once again apologise for dropping out, but it was beyond my control.

Next time I play, could I play up front again? I really enjoyed it, and didn't think I did too badly. I like to think the first goal was set up by me. :p Unless people didn't think I was up to scratch, in which case feel free to put someone better up there.

Don't listen to this. Our attack did their part. "Rarely had anything to do" what an outright pile of bollocks. We got upfront a lot and we did well when we did. Don't let this fool make you think you did badly because you didn't at all.

Well played guys!

Since I've now played in every match so far, I wouldn't mind being dropped for Sunday's game to give someone else a chance to play.

Just a little request for you lot, and I'm sure remute would agree with me on this one. We've managed to get 10 out for every single match so far where you lot only have 7 or 8, the matches are always better with a full complement of players so can we make sure we can have 10v10 for the rest of the series?

If it's really needed (as it's kind of lame playing against 7/8 people), I'll move over to this team to fill numbers only if there really is no way of the rest of remute's players making an appearance for a certain game. Not sure how you'd feel about that, but this is all just a bit of fun and an evenly balanced game is more important than serious competition right?

Apologies for the lateness of this, I've been manic and not near a PC since work on Friday.

I totally agree with Kanbei about the teams. I know there are a problems with the team for some games, but the last game we only had 7 players. If you are not selected but still around at 9.30 tonight, can you please just turn your 360 on at 9.25, just so we can have 10. This is relevant tonight as players who aren't around may be picked as the team is not going out till late.

Also, if I pick players and they do not turn up on time, please don't feel aggreived if you don't keep getting picked, I'm trying to send out even teams over the games now, not for people who actually make the effort to turn up.

strawberry floating hell I said I couldn't play, but okay then.. I shall be there.

C'mon the 'Mutants!

Edit - My post may sounds rude, but I don't mean it to be at all. :)

Edit 2 - I have a mate who is (a bit of a numpty but) great at FIFA (even better than me ;)). He would love to play if we don't have the numbers - would that be allowed? Say, if we even up with about 7 people again, I could invite him.. Dunno if people would be cool with that?
