No matter if you respect the stats or not its all we have to base the initial team selection on, from this you can see theres not much in it apart from the keeper my team have which for the star class is a bit rare, sure.
Theres nothing strange about it the thing was open to ******* chance, get over it and move on.

It is a tad strange that the 2 people who have set up the league get probably the 2 best teams around.
But, these people make the leauge, so you cant do anything about it, like the goverenment...
Never heard of my team and the French league is rubbish, bar lyon, so I will just have to wait and see...
Ah your even better:
St Etienne
SPD-71
ATT-73
MID-73
DEF-72
GKP-80
STR-66

It seems not as Grêmio are a separate team in the FIFA08 Brazil section. However searching on the web I can't find I. Porto Alegre and see what you probably did on wiki. Odd.
Yes thats them currently 5th place in the french league.
Looks like it from the kits on wiki/fifa. Appear to be unlicensed on fifa hence the name change.

Yup kits/players appear to match up (with some on purpose spelling mistakes) and the I. would make sense now for Internacional. Good work columbo

Spoke to Hencore on this last night and 1 league is the way we are going as people have left the previous league leaving it in a total mess and negating any promotions/relegations that happened anyway. Run it longer, enforce the rules and don't have a spill over period at the end for anyone other than the people that have valid excuses pre-agreed by us mods. I'm looking to kick off on Saturday.
Hencore the table looks great, good job mate.

I'm going to draw Amatuerjimmy a team now from the unused 33 teams I kept listed, I can draw you (and only you) a new team if you wish as investigating your team I agree with you. This would be final however without further complaint.

Funny thing is PES just lured me back with the fantastic Wii edition, that combined with my 2 weeks off the FIFA have totally nobbed my play up now.

Its only going to be unsportsmanlike like if you use that as your only method of shooting (which a few have done against me) otherwise its a valid tactic. Shortly I will post the leagues official definition of a cutback. Little action will be taken against users of this technique but you will be called a twerp.

League definition of a Cutback:
Many players particularly in Ranked mode choose solely to use the dirty cutback to net them goals, many of us have become annoyed at this technique and yet there is much confusion on what is and isn't a cutback. We have now reached the point where almost all wing play is criticized and most crosses are wrongly called a 'cutback'.
Image 1: Here we see the cutback specialists favorite squad Barcelona in action. In this image Messi is seen entering the box on the premium path for most Cutback players, here he is heading for the highlighted area so that he can make his pass (Not cross) back across the box in a diagonal to the approaching striker, who will tap in the goal. Unfortunately for him Henry is a complete prat and has made a crap run ahead of him into the box, silly Henry.
Image 2: In this image we can see that Henry has made use of him self and gotten into a classic cutback position ready to deliver that diagonal ball back to Ronny so that he can hoof it in. Here I have actually pulled up a lot shorter than the veteran cutback players who would be heading for somewhere around the highlighted area towards the touchline, with this Ronny would receive the pass inches from the net and only have to tap in the shot whilst the keeper was sucked into Henrys feet. Then nature of defending in FIFA means that it is hard (yet not impossible) to track both Henry and Ronny as they enter the box so often the result is players bundling the man with the ball and seeing the defense split apart. If more strikers are crashing the box things become even harder.
These are a little rough as Im not a cutback Vet myself and was playing against an unmanned player 2 controller hence the defense is a little sleepy.
Where we believe issues pop up is when players play down the wings and tipple tap the cross button to drill one across the box, this in the eyes of the league is in no way the same as a cutback goal. If anything its clever play and can often net you a nice own goal or two to laugh about. Yet there have been times where people have cried wolf on this type of play. The only move we would consider a cutback is that which I have tried to illustrate here today even then it is not frowned upon until used excessively, without any variation of play. Later on I may post some tips on how I defend against the move but for now I need to pop to town. Don't rant at my examples too much please.

You'll be fine I've gone from cup finalist to 10th to dead bottom of division to a top 3 finish! with the amount of games in the league this season you will get plenty of practice on the pitch and enough players to scrap with wherever you are in the table.
I'll give you a friendly practice match later if you like.

Your completely wrong as usual and arguing again, the triple tap is nowhere near as hard to defend against and results in far less goals. Your borderline complaining about any move against you that beats you, its comical. This is the league definition and there will be no more complaints on the issue. Especially from you.

Anders0n your officially on your last warning now and need to refrain from this constant argument. 1 more incident or accusation and you will be removed from the league altogether.
You wont get me agreeing that tipple tap is the same as it simply does not result in anywhere near as hard a defensive situation as the traditional touchline A button pass back method. With a triple tap at distance there is as much chance of the defender intercepting the ball as there is the striker getting on the end of it. Cutbacks are not banned Penalty exploits are not banned, you might get a bad rep here for using them repeatedly and being unsporting but there will be no point deductions for these tactics.
