Agree, in theory having a seeded tournament will only make it harder for someone like Vid

For the overall game I reckon keep as it is.

For the cup knockout, how about starting with two groups (top half and bottom half of the table at the time of the draw).... then after a few rounds the survivors of each group eventually meet in the final - a bit like the Paint Pot Trophy where there's a Southern & Northern section.... area semi finals, finals and then the final - one from each section :?:

Not quite sure why the Champions League needs to be seeded (this isnt in direct response to you Dave, as several have mentioned it)

Will it be based on this season?
Will it be based on performance up to a point next season?

This isnt the real world where tv viewing figures, or keeping the big clubs rich matters…. this is fantasy football.
A team can be good one week, shite the next.

These are the positions our quarter finalists were in when the group draws was made:-

Sim 1
Jules 10
Ronny 12
Black Dogs 13
Kid Kongo 27
Drawing Dead 38
GaryPeacock 63
Vid 78

I quite like the fact that a couple that were bottom 25% of the table are in the quarter finals.
A couple more from mid table too.

Thats the beauty of the cup!

I don't really minded whether C/L seeded or not Zimm,it's just maybe something to make a little more of a talking point (i.e 4th seed beating a 1st seed etc),I think it's all been done very well this year,except my team has never been high enough this time :cry:

There's no way I'd still be in if there'd been seedings, so I'd be happy for next year to be the same.
Just imagine how lame the FA cup would be with seedings!

papiss dog · **Posted:** 15 Mar 2011, 13:52

good thats that sorted then - can now spend my summer trying to pick a decent team for next season

garypeacock · **Posted:** 15 Mar 2011, 20:07

I've enjoyed it, leave it as it is.
As for having better performing teams elswhere, well out of the 4, I entered into the main game my elite team is doing the best.
I'd be 2nd in my local pub league with this team.

maybe a max of 2 teams.

Charlie Adam hat trick next weekend and I'm back

Zimmerman · **Posted:** 16 Mar 2011, 19:04

Well ultimately, next season we will still have the Elite. Format is exactly the same, no change from this year.

There will also be a new side game called ????????
But for clarity and not to confuse or dissuade others from playing, it should have a totally different name IMO.

ronny10 · **Posted:** 16 Mar 2011, 19:34

What about...........

Dreamteam 'the future?' League

papiss dog · **Posted:** 16 Mar 2011, 20:17

Ok zimm, still the original elite league as has always been and a new competition with a new name

the Norma Stits league?
Delia Smith league?

Zimmerman · **Posted:** 16 Mar 2011, 20:24

Either put it to the vote, or maybe whoever ends up running it would like to name it, or maybe the Elite runner up has the honour of naming it?
Whatever.

Personally I'd avoid any hilarious play on words.

papiss dog · **Posted:** 16 Mar 2011, 20:45

Well I'm happy to carry on with the "original SDT elite league"

I won't be able to administrate the "new future of dreamteam elite league" would it be best for someone like JPK to run it? I don't mind holding the cash but as my computer skills aren't as good the transfers etc etc will be too much for me

what about them for names then

original SDT elite league
new future of SDT elite league

I am happy to run it (side comp) if there is a real demand for it. Probably could do with someone else to be the cheerleader to drum up support for it though

papiss dog · **Posted:** 17 Mar 2011, 10:37

ok JP, so we need someone with a big mouth to drum up some interest.....I'll have a think and see who I can come up with

papiss dog · **Posted:** 17 Mar 2011, 10:53

so just to summarise the elite league will stay on exactly as it is...... 8-)

I'm still in it? :shock:

Haven't looked at the thread in many weeks as my team is so crap :lol:

davewhites · **Posted:** 19 Mar 2011, 14:06

All sounds good to me

I'm in both

It looks like this has already been decided but I still want to express my opinion because I want to enter the Elite league next season. I have really missed it this season.

I agree with the people saying the original competition should be the same as it has always been.

Anyone wanting things to be different create a new competition with a new name and new rules - surely there is plenty of room for both.

In conclusion: Still call it the Elite league and keep the rules the same or don't bother.

papiss dog · **Posted:** 21 Mar 2011, 09:35

yeah thats what we're doing mate, stick to the original and create a new one if the numbers are there for it

Arch Stanton · **Joined:** Mon Aug 07 2006 **Posts:** 452

Nice one mate, I am definitely up for the elite league next season, maybe the other league as well.

papiss dog · **Posted:** 26 Mar 2011, 14:11

sweet mate, hoping for a hundred plus next season....give me even less chance of winning it, not even beating tomuk ( the shame of it )

tomuk76 · **Posted:** 26 Mar 2011, 14:33

you shouldn't be too ashamed as your team was pretty crap. You have to admit that

papiss dog · **Posted:** 27 Apr 2011, 19:26

just a quick bump......elite league will be exactly the same as this year

one team per person ( no using your cat as another manager )
£10 a team

I can't wait for next season, I'll try and enter a decent team into this next time :roll:
