Guys, seems most are and will be up for a new league on FIFA as long as we have committed players who can guarantee the time to play and communicate with each other.
The main problems we've encountered in the past is players who have asked to participate and signed their name down only for them never to check this thread again! If your one of these people, please do not ask to be in!

For the newbies who have never been in a league, info from past leagues can be found here: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11171812&postcount=1

Would be ideal to have a website dedicated the league so players can see how they're progressing but this may not be possible so it may have just have to be manually done, which I can do, people like always just need to input their scores after each game on here.

If your up for the league put your name username and gamertag down here. Would be nice on opinions of how we go about allocating teams and what star etc.

Info

The league is created through Fifa. You sign up and it will show you everyone in the league and who you still have to play.
You only play each person once and in any order you want. If their is a person online who you haven't played yet then you can play him at anytime.
(Thanks to Lee for this little snippet of info)

Remember me and Anders0n will keep track of our leagues results and record them on Excel or whatnot and post the tables on here every now and then to show how the current standings look like.
A great help would be when you record your results on here put what league your in, remember to input the score and person you played after each match, if your opposition has done it already don't worry about doing it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leagues

They'll be two leagues. League A and League B. All 32 players wil be drawn randomley into these two leagues. 16 in each.

The players will battle it out for either promotion or relgation. Once all games are played the final standings will determine whether your promoted to the Premiership League, or relegated to the Championship League. Top 8 will move up, bottom 8, move down.
Again, in thesenew leagues you will then battle it our for the final standings and see if you can come out on top of your league.

There is no league table on FIFA for these games now, everything is administrated on here. The league table is below.

Basically add the relevant person who is in your group to add your friends list and invite them to a 5 minute game (no extra time)

Play each other TWICE (in theory home and away) whether you do this at the same time is up to you.

27 people there, not sure how many you can have but maybe it would be better to have 2 leagues like there was last time?

Regarding teams, as long as it's not 5* or 4.5* I think it would be fine, providing everyone has an equal star rating unlike the cup.

Thanks dude, have updated the OP with the list.

If anyone has decent info regarding the leagues just post it and I'll add it to the OP to combat people asking how everything works. Have already added a sentence from Lee which helps people.

Two leagues looks the easiest, our most successful league was when we had two leagues, League A and League B with teams drawn out completely random. You then fight your way for promotion or get relegated, Once you have played all your games, the top 6 (if there was 12 teams for example) get promoted to the Premiership from both League A andd B, the bottom 6 go to the Championship.

How about it?

It worked great last time around and there's a little something more to play for fight relegation or get promoted, makes it a lot more exciting. Hope I explained it well enough!

good idea, although I do like the sound of seeding's :)

Just to confirm, will this league be set up in game and everyone racing to sign up with the password, as sometimes people late in from work get their place nicked by someone who hasn't even signed up?

That won't happen. I'll stick the password on here but anyone who hasn't signed up on here will just be kicked.

I personally like the idea of 2 leagues with a playoffs stage, that way once the league stage was done people would (hopefully) get supported by thier respective leagues and we could build up some north vs south rivalry. Promotion/relegation didnt really work as people often drop out/vanish between seasons making a farce of the whole idea. When you start with promotion/relegation your really asking for people to commit to more than 1 season imo.

I came up with this idea last time purely as you wouldn't play that many games in one league so although it's a season in theory your hardly committing to that many games.
It was great when we had one big league of about 30 players as there were so many games to play and in the end that's what everyone wanted to do.

We've got 29 players now, we need 32 players really so there are 16 teams in each league so they can be split evenly.

I'll wait for three more people then close sign-ups.

I'll go ahead with the two leagues.

I'll administrate one, League A, so recording results into Excel (technology nowadays eh) and try keeping everyone updated online with screenshots of the table. Obviously the online table on FIFA will also show info you want.

Anders0n will administrate League B doing the same as me.

Once all games have been played in both leagues we'll have the Premiership and Championship leagues.

can we not go with 30 people?

saves waiting for more people :p

once wwe finishes, i will go through and get the rest of the 3.5 and 4star teams

We may have to do but that is only 15 players in each league making it an unfair split when promotion and relegation comes into place! In the end by tomorrow if we don't have an extra three players then we'll just have to work something out.

But in theory all the teams should be equal, I know obviously some will be better in other certain area's but then that team will make up for it elsewhere, hence them all being the same stars. I think it will be too much hassle redrawing teams etc, It was going to be easy just jumping from one league to do the next.

I know it could be repetitive being the same team but it worked before.
