FIFA World Cup Tournament (DEADLINE SUN 4/13)

[ReignOnU]

Slide tackle, always slide tackle. Preferably in your own box.

I agree with reign, but get shift's ass in here.
It is a free league. What does he have to lose in playing other humans?

And you know I am just learning.

Just learning my ass. Sandbagger.

Dude, I cannot name the positions or tell you anything about soccer except that I understand what offsides is.
Other than that, I know none of the penalties, have no clue how to look at guys and see who would be better where.
I know 1 name in real life soccer and that was David Beckham.
Couldn't even tell you if he still plays.

I really wish I was sandbagging.
jsence had to help me set up my team last tourney and I will ask for help this time too.
Playing the video game, there are tons of button combinations, so I am trying to remember a few of them and just keep on trying.

He's not sandbagging. He had El Shaarawy in reserves, not even on the bench

May I change my team to France?

May I change my team to France?

If no one has them already, I can't see why not.

[Mattdaddy]

If I looked correctly, I'm the only one that had them on my list.

[jsence2]

Updated.

niddler, check your PMs

[jsence2]

After talking w Niddler, he's familiar w a fair amount of the Italian team (w having had Milan) so I'm going to let him have them. I think I'm going to switch to Brazil (would've gone w Rooney/England but someone already has them).

I'm happy that nobody took Spain.

[ReignOnU]

Freakin' ready to play. Don't even care about setting up my team. Just want to kick it.

[jsence2]

Talked Shift into joining, he will be using Belgium

The reason I wanted ten teams is now I don't have to redo schedules, all I have to do is re-name teams, have Blake upload the rosters (which I will put together tomorrow night unless someone wants to do it tomorrow during the day), and have Blake reset the games.

PM me the info. I should have some free time in the afternoon.

Just need it in the following Excel .csv format:

Last name, First name, position, team (just put whatever in here, I'll have to replace the team name with the number for their NDL team page)

[ReignOnU]

Easy enough. I'll send it over this afternoon.

Notes:
- 1st column is player numbers. You didn't request them, but I see we have a spot for them on our site. Delete if you don't want to use them.
- People with one name are listed with a "." as their last name. It just looks better in the stats section.
- I retyped the names so that the various accents were removed. I didn't want to have any issues with how our database reads them.

This is based on the sofifa original rosters. If you need me to go in and add/remove players or use a different roster set, just let me know.

Don't put the . in there for first names, I did that before and I think Blake said it messes it up. I know it looks odd in stats, but the alternative is something weird.

We can use the numbers, I'll just have to check w him where they need to be (what order).

Sofifa should be fine, I'd just make sure you get all the guys 75+ . Appreciate the help man, that will save me some serious time.

[ReignOnU]

I have the whole roster for each team in there, as it is based on the original World Cup roster. I can look at my game later and make any adjustments based on the team that I see loaded up. Working in Excel is super fast. The alternate concept may be just putting a space in the box to populate it as blank.

[ReignOnU]

If nothing else, my team is going to be fun as hell to play with. Definitely an issue in the back third, but all kinds of good stuff in the mid and front.

[ReignOnU]

What do we need to do now to move forward? My weekend starts in 40min and I'm ready to play.

I have to redo some stuff on the site which I will try to do today at work. The roster file needs to be tweaked a bit and put in a specific order, if you can:

First Name
Last Name
Team (when I get the teams switched I'll give you the team "number" which you can replace the team "name" with)
Position
Number

I'll get on tonight after the UK game and finalize everything and we should be up and going tomorrow.

[jsence2]

Brazil: 215
