gunpowderplot Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) Hi everyone, after some discussion in the football thread to gauge demand I have setup a PS3Trophies Championship on the popular online football management game soccermanager.com. The game is free to play and will only be available to members of these boards. Everyone is welcome to join in and the more players we have the more fun it should be. The basic aim of the game is to buy and sell players for your team and choose the right tactics to lead your team to glory. Player abilities are based on a 60-100 rating system that is updated relative to the players real world performance so as they get better in real life they get better in our game. This is particularly cool if you think you are a better scout of talent than the pros. It isn't very time consuming, you only have to login every 14 days to keep your team active, the game will use your default tactic for any games you miss. Our game will be based on the English leagues with an almost identical format except there are 5 leagues of 20 teams rather than 4 leagues of varying sizes. A full list of teams and their starting league can be seen at the bottom of this post. It's the usual 3 points for a win league season with the bottom 3 of each league relegated at the end and the top two promoted from below with a playoff winner taking the 3rd spot. To take part you will need to signup to a free account on soccermanager.com. It will automatically ask you to pick a team, just choose any as you will be quitting this club and joining our 'Trophygeddon Championship' with hopefully the club of your choice. Once you have done that if you could post in here an 'A' and 'B' choice of club from the list below I will invite you to join the league as the manager of that club. Everyone will get their 'A' choice unless it is already taken which is where the 'B' comes in. The list below will be updated with the members username when picked to speed up the selection process. Team allocation will be on a first come first served basis without exception. Once you have chosen your team I will PM you to get your soccermanager username to friend you in soccermanager and invite you to take over the correct club. Once we have a decent number of signups I will launch the league and we can get cracking. Any latecomers can still take part as you can jump in at any time. Any questions please feel free to message me or post below. Here are the teams available for selection:- Team Ownership/Availability Div 1 1.Arsenal - GameExpert (Milos Marceta) 2.Aston Villa - Tomstlh (Tom Stlh) 3.Bolton Wanderers - NintendoDSPlayer (Nin Hughes) 4.Carlisle United - felly777 (Adam Fell) 5.Chelsea - JMeeks (John Meechan) 6.Derby County - AshtimusPrime (Ashley Slater) 7.Everton 8.Hull City 9.Leeds United - Raichu (Michael Aird) 10.Liverpool - Bic80 (Jamie Royles) 11.Manchester City 12.Manchester United - Weasel Dude (Weasel Dude) 13.Milton Keynes Dons - Kahuna (Kahuna Smith) 14.Newcastle United - Shaun-Bhoy-95 (Shaun Purves) 15.Southampton - RomanClaret (John Lex) 16.Stevenage - Gunpowderplot (Martyn Cook) 17.Sunderland - emme (Thomas Emme) 18.Tottenham Hotspur - Darth_Krid (Biccles' Wife) 19.West Bromwich Albion - Xander45 (Alex Hemming) 20.Wolverhampton Wanderers - Platt (Platt McPlatterson) Div 2 1.Birmingham City 2.Burnley 3.Brentford - JGillies (Joseph Gillies) 4.Cardiff City 5.Charlton Athletic 6.Fulham 7.Huddersfield Town 8.Leicester City 9.Middlesbrough 10.Millwall 11Norwich City 12.Nottingham Forest 13.Queens Park Rangers 14.Reading 15.Sheffield Wednesday 16.Stoke City 17.Swansea City 18.Watford 19.West Ham United 20.Wigan Athletic Div 3 1.AFC Bournemouth 2.AFC Wimbledon - paulcooper (Paul Cooper) 3.Blackburn Rovers 4.Blackpool 5.Bristol City 6.Brighton and Hove Albion 7.Colchester United 8.Coventry City 9.Crystal Palace 10.Doncaster Rovers 11.Ipswich Town 12.Leyton Orient 13.Oldham Athletic 14.Peterborough United 15.Portsmouth 16.Preston North End 17.Rotherham United 18.Scunthorpe United 19.Sheffield United 20.Yeovil Town Div 4 1.Barnsley 2.Bradford City 3.Bury 4.Chesterfield 5.Crawley Town 6.Crewe Alexandra 7.Dagenham & Redbridge 8.Fleetwood Town 9.Gillingham 10.Hartlepool United 11.Luton Town 12.Northampton Town 13.Notts County 14.Port Vale 15.Rochdale 16.Shrewsbury Town 17.Swindon Town 18.Tranmere Rovers 19.Walsall 20.Wycombe Wanderers Div 5 1.Accrington Stanley 2.Bristol Rovers 3.Burton Albion 4.Cambridge United 5.Cheltenham Town 6.Chester FC 7.Exeter City 8.Grimsby Town 9.Kidderminster Harriers 10.Lincoln City 11.Macclesfield Town 12.Mansfield Town 13.Morecambe 14.Newport County 15.Oxford United 16.Plymouth Argyle 17.Southend United 18.Torquay United 19.Wrexham 20.York City ---------- Season 5 Winners and Losers Div1 Winners: Darth Krid (Tottenham) Runner Up: Weasel Dude (Manchester United) Relegated: JGillies (Brentford) Trophygeddon Championship Cup Winner: Kahuna (Milton Keynes Dons) Trophygeddon Championship Shield Winner: Tomstlh (Aston Villa) Div2 Winners: Gunpowderplot (Stevenage) Runner Up: Platt McPlatterson (Wolverhampton Wanderers) Playoffs: Kahuna (Milton Keynes Dons) Div4 Winner: paulcooper (AFC Wimbledon) Season 4 Winners and Losers Div1 Winners: Bic80 (Liverpool) Runner Up: Emme (Sunderland) Trophygeddon Championship Cup Winner: Bic80 (Liverpool) Trophygeddon Championship Shield Winner: N/A Div2 Winners: felly777 (Carlisle United) Runner Up: Raichu (Leeds United) Playoffs: AshtimusPrime (Derby County) Div3 Winners: Platt McPlatterson (Wolverhampton Wanderers) Div5 Runner Up: paulcooper (AFC Wimbledon) Season 3 Winners and Losers Div1 Winners: GameExpert (Arsenal) Runner Up: Darth_Krid (Tottenham) Relegated: Combatting (Fulham) Trophygeddon Championship Cup Winner: GameExpert (Arsenal) Trophygeddon Championship Shield Winner: NintendoDSPlayer (Bolton Wanderers) Div2 Winners: NintendoDSPlayer (Bolton Wanderers) Runner Up: JGillies (Brentford) Playoffs: WeasleDude (Southampton) Div3 Winners: Kahuna (MK Dons) Runner Up: Xx_Progenitor_xX (AFC Bournemouth) Playoffs: Raichu (Leeds United) Season 2 Winners and Losers Div1 Winners: Raichu (Tottenham) Runner Up: emme (Sunderland) Trophygeddon Championship Cup Winner: ARandomWelshGuy (Cardiff) Trophygeddon Championship Shield Winner: Tomstlh (Aston Villa) Div2 Winners: staytrue1985 (Blackburn) Runner Up: Ion Storm (Everton) Playoffs: Buttercup (Huddersfield Town) Relegated: WillTheBassist (Stoke) Div3 Winners: Gunpowderplot (Stevenage) Runner Up: JGillies (Brentford) Playoffs: felly777 (Carlisle United) Season 1 Winners and Losers Div1 Winners: JMeeks (Chelsea) Runner Up: Rawra (Aston Villa) Relegated: IonStorm (Everton), WillTheBassist (Stoke), C-Irvine-94 (Southampton) Trophygeddon Championship Cup Winner: Snaddef (Barnsley) Runner Up: christhedog (Reading) Trophygeddon Championship Shield Winner: staytrue1985 (Blackburn) Runner Up: Rawra (Aston Villa) Div2 Winners: TheManUtdFan (Nottingham Forest) Runner Up: Darth_Krid (Birmingham City) Playoffs: christhedog (Reading) Relegated: Xx_Progenitor_xX (AFC Bournemouth) Div4 Winners: Kahuna (Milton Keynes Dons) Playoffs: Gunpowderplot (Stevenage) Edited July 11, 2015 by gunpowderplot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunpowderplot Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Why can't we use European teams? You have to choose a single country to manage in and as the football thread predominantly focuses on the English leagues this was chosen for our game You can still buy and trade players with overseas clubs.

christhedog3 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I intend to sign up as Reading, but just wondering how this is gunna work mate? We all going into the same league? How's it going to work for teams like me, who would obviously have to trade a fair bit more just to attempt to get up to the level of Everton etc? Depends on how many you could get to sign up, but would be cool to do our own league system if we get enough teams, with promotion/relegation, as that'd make it more competitive for us lot who are crap .

Luckily for you Loftus is in the same league as you (see end of the first post for league standings) and we do have some other members supporting non-Premier League sides. I may take a side lower down as well, as yet I'm undecided and I was going to wait for others to choose before taking over a club. The problem of doing just a custom league with all our teams in the same division is that it locks out people joining in the future as we can't just randomly add teams halfway through a season. The game makes it quite easy to pick up players as long as you have the funds so I would expect after a season to have any lower league players promoted.

It keeps the game running regardless of who comes and goes human player wise. Yeah MK Dons are the lowest team of anyone I know form the forums. He is welcome to manage anyone he wants that is free, I will probably not end up with Tottenham so I'll need to find a club somewhere. Ok im confused as hell, ive signed up for a random liverpool team, but no your saying i have to quit that? Dumb it down for us dumbwits please Just quit that club and tell me your soccermanager username so I can offer you the club you are choosing which I am guessing is Liverpool? Part of the signup process is choosing a team which I think is quite bad design, I'm not surprised it confused you.

gunpowderplot Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 I wanted to be Napoli If I signed up now, can I start making transfers? The league is not launched yet so it means it isn't progressing through the calendar. Once we have a decent number of people on board and the signups start tailing off I will launch it.

Exactly how can i quit a club is it a drop down or? Click on the settings 'cog' icon in the top right of the page and choose home. It should list the club in a box on the right of the screen and there should be a 'Quit Club' link in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
