Number of teams in Sunday League

Sometimes we ask ourselves how many teams there will be in Sunday League. In this post you will know the real answer. Of course that registed teams its not the same as managers really playing, but its a way for you to know how are the other servers. We dont have the numbers from Leeds because the server was not ok today.

Piggy 4088
Felix 4064
Mogzilla 3227
Smokey 2922
Tabby 1990
PTV1 1677
Oscar 1549
Manu 1294

Charlie 774
Man2 397
Chelsea 395

PTV2 216
PTV3 182
Liv2 165
ITV 147
Teamtalk 141
Talksport 138
Newcastle 112
Everton 80

Total of registed teams 28727

Of course that these numbers change everyday, but they wont be very far from this.
In a few weeks i will do the counting again so we can see how the things are.

Season 38 on Everton

Everton is one of the smallest servers in SL with just 80 registed teams at the moment. The managers table was a big fight between the teams of the Conference 4. Blade Runners managed by Simon Wootton won the conference by goal average and also won the manager table and the ICC.

Meet the manager: Razvy

Razvy is is known to all on Felix, mainly for his banter on the forums. But his team has slowly been improving and now he's in 1-1-1 he can hold his own against some of the big boys.

1.Name, age and address.

Razvan-Constantin Ciubotaru or Razvy for short, 22, Bacau-Romania

2.Name of your team/server and other teams that you have in SL.

At the moment I have 3 teams I regularly play with, all on Felix : Blue Angel Dream FC,Moldavia FC and Dinamo RedAllstars

3.How long have you been playing SL.

I guess for about 2 years now but time passes by so slowly these days

4.What was your biggest moment on SL.

That must be when I first beat Redhill Rovers my mentor's team!Mark taught me the basics here and I thank him for that.And of course this season when I reached for the first time a big final in the I.C.C.

5.Who's your biggest rival on SL.

I don't think I have one but lets say Panathinaikos - Main Division rival for my first team,Blue.

6.Who's your favourite team in real life.

2 teams in fact, from Romania Dinamo Bucharest and from Italy Juventus Torino!

7.What else do you do in your spare time.

I don't have much spare time really,college almost fills it all but I like spending time with my friends,music(rock music), playing football,reading....just a normal life I guess.

8.What do you like about playing SL.

The fun stuff and the passion it's made in me....it's hard to let go you know and I hate to see that day coming sometime.

9.What would you like to see in SL08.

Nothing special really just surprise me!

10.Anything else you would like to say to your fellow managers.

Good luck to you all.....it's a beautiful old game so lets play it right and have some fun!


Thanks Razvy. Good luck for the season ahead, maybe you can win your 1st 1-1-1 title.

Everton: Elite Cup Season 38


Billy Blugeon
Hot
Normal Pitch
I was taking a look at Grubby-Monkeys team and i realize how hard it would be to match a starting eleven that could fit in this team. He really need to replace about 5 players that are losing stats very much.
Both teams starting this game in nutter with Blugeon, wich just shows that both wanted to win the game at any price.
The Pirates started the game with advantage so it was not hard to score. When they both were with the same tactics the Pirates scored again and i believe that this secong goal almost killed the game. Grubby took advantage after half time (with psycho!!!) and scored one goal but it was not enough. Fair win to Paisley Pirates.

Meet the manager: Rowan Morrell

Another top manager who will be known by all on the Felix, Oscar and Charlie servers. He managed to pinch the 8-1-1 title from the Redhill Rovers last season on Felix. A feat no one has managed for 12 seasons (well done mate) :)

1.Name, age and address

Rowan Morrell, 36, Wellington NZ

2.Name of your team/server and other teams that you have in SL.

Wombles of Wimbledon, Felix (womblingfree);
Coro Street Rovers, Oscar (nzyowie);
The Scarlet Pimpernels, Charlie (scarletpimpernel)

3.How long have you been playing SL

I signed up on Oscar and Charlie in January 2006, and Felix in September 2006. So 2 1/2 years all up.

4.What was your biggest moment on SL

On Oscar: Winning three consecutive Managers Tables and finally winning the Elite Cup would rank first equal. On Charlie: winning every major final (11 now!) that I have ever been in, and winning six or seven consecutive CMLs at one stage. On Felix: FINALLY taking the 8-1-1 title off the Redhill Rovers!

5.Who's your biggest rival on SL

On Oscar: MADONE without a doubt, and Floriana FC in my division. Other teams of note include Chester City FC, West Herts Stags, Columbian Clowns and Jedi Knights. On Charlie: Wanderers FC and ramsgate fc within my division; Hellsnear Rangers FC, LUCIFERS DRAGONS, Ramsgate Reds, Stonehenge FC and The Sedgebeers Co. (among others) outside my division. There are also some teams I don't play that often, like the Crazy Gang, Team Cool and BillySharps Comeback, which give me an uncommon amount of grief. And let's not forget the ubiquitous Clowns ... On Felix: Redhill Rovers. Of all my rivals, the Redhill Rovers are by far the toughest and most frustrating team that I have ever played. Whereas my record against most major rivals is respectable (50% winning record at least), I think my winning percentage against the Redhill Rovers is about 10%! :-( And I'm pretty sure I haven't beaten them in the entire 2008 calendar year! There have been a couple of draws though.

6.Who's your favourite team in real life In real life,

I'm more of a cricket and rugby follower than a soccer one. But I'll go with Manchester United.

7.What else do you do in your spare time

Collect stuff, make Web sites about the stuff I collect, watch DVDs, read books, listen to my MP3 player and write children's mystery/adventure books (one of which I have actually self-published on Lulu, and it has so far taken the market by storm, selling one whole copy! Someone call the New York Times!).

8.What do you like about playing SL

I like the fact that I win a lot! ;-) It's a pretty easy game to learn. It also rewards good management and penalises bad management, which I appreciate. Although the match engine sometimes throws up some dodgy results, the vast majority seem pretty fair to me. All in all, the game is well designed and well run, and is by far and away the best of any of the CAT Games.

9.What would you like to see in SL08

A much better transfer market would help. The current TM is unmitigated crap. There used to be a lot more superstars on it. I don't know why that's no longer the case. The live in-game match reports sound like fun. Hopefully the match engine will be that much fairer as well.

10.Anything else you would like to say to your fellow managers

The Scarlet Pimpernel has been unmasked, but what the hey. I still aim to be demmed elusive for my Charlie rivals! And one day, God willing, I will beat MADONE in an Elite Cup game and defeat the Redhill Rovers before the ball in Times Square drops for 2009. After all, I won 8-1-1 on Felix this season, which is proof that miracles do happen.
Good night, God Bless, you've been a great audience.
FINIS

Thanks Rowan. Keep up the good work and lets see if you can beat Redhill this season as im sure he will be gunning for you. :)

Kitty Season 41 Round-Up

So, another season comes to an end on the Kitty server and another competitive season is behind us.

Manager's Table
This season's managers table went down to the final game of the season, and the team in 3rd before the final league match ended up winning the coveted prize. Cannon Fodder (managed by myself, Ross) had not been leading the MT at any point during the 2nd half of the season, and i'll admit that i didn't realise i had a chance of winning it until it was pointed out to me in the forum with 5 games left!

Cannon Fodder pipped New Fast Automatic Daffodils to the top spot courtesy of a lucky ET winning goal in the Champions Shield semi-final over the unfortunate Braids, manager of Sydney FC Hammers. The match gave Ross' side an extra 4 points and a place in the CS final, and a 2-0 win over 4th placed Ted's Tyrants in the final league game gave Cannon Fodder the MT win!. Had they lost the CS semi final, the Daffodils would've taken the title by 2 points. All quite exciting really :)

Private Leagues
And finally we come to the private league's. Although Kitty isn't the most populated server, there are still a lot of PL's that get played throughout the season, many of which are recurring tournaments, including The Express Trophy that is now running it's 13th edition thanks to Ty (aka munkeespuzz)

A full list of PL for the season isn't available due the reason outlined above, but those that I have the stats of are as follows:

Championship II - 12 team league
Winner: Cannon Fodder (ross)
Runer-up: Simpsons FC (homersimpson)
3rd place: Sydney FC Hammers (braids)

Friendly League - 8 team league
Winner: Simpsons FC (homersimpson)
Runner-up: Corinthian Clowns (munkeespuzz)
3rd Place: Cannon Fodder (ross)

The Express Trophy 12 - 8 team league
Winner: Simpsons FC (homersimpson)
Runner-up: Corinthian Clowns (munkeespuzz)
3rd place - Cannon Fodder (ross)

The Big Top League VIII - 12 teams league
Winner: Corinthian Clowns (munkeespuzz)
Runner-up: Cannon Fodder (ross)
3rd place: THE ELITE (manuck)

There are also 6 PL's running at the time of writing, and plenty more lined-up for the new season

Teamtalk: ICC Final Season 44


Terence Trendy
Rainy
Soft Pitch
Two very esperienced managers were in this ICC Final. Dean Hopkins managing Oldcastle Albion, and And Richard French for Byron Park F.C.
It was a game for longball but none of them opted for 5-2-3. Richard strangely starting the game using 4 in the front and 4 in the back. The game started with both using conter-attack in the first 30 minutes, but in fact none of them had more than 15 minutes in a row with advantage until Byron Park took the lead in tactics after minute 60. Nobody changed after this and this team scored after 31 minutes, in extra time. We can say that is a fair win, and Richard French has won his 17th big cup managing this team.

Meet the Manager: Craige Makinson

Craige is one of the most promising managers in Charlie at the moment. On his first attempt he has won conference 4, where is one of the biggest names on the Charlie Server. Many more titles will come for sure from Wanderers F.C., the team managed by Craige.

Hello, who are you?
Craige Makinson, 28 years young, Dunstable.

Wich team/teams and in wich server are you managing?
Just the one, Wanderers FC on Charlie.

How long are you playing SL?
Well i started in Jan 06, then left for a bit and started back in Nov 07.

What was your biggest moment in SL?
Im sure its yet to come! but last season wasnt too bad. I won my conference (4-1-1), runner up in Champions Shield and Friendly ladder, won Super Cup plus a few private leagues.

Who´s your biggest rival in SL?
All the guys in CML, but more recently Ramsgate, Scarlet Pimpernells, Defiance FC and Hellsnear Rangers.

What is your favourite team in real life?
Manchester United (I didnt always live in Dunstable before you ask!)

Do you have any hobbies?
My 20 month old son and SL of course!

What does attract you more on SL ?
The competition and the people on my server. We have a good laugh!

What are you expecting of SL08?
Erm....better competition (too many computer teams around) and i think just a general facelift of the site would be nice. Not too complicated though.

As you may in the post below, Craige is the new reporter from our blog. He will take over the Charlie server. Good luck Craige.

Charlie Private League CML 33

CML for years has been the biggest and toughest private league on the Charlie server and this season is no exception. It has grown in popularity and this season we have had 3 qualifying leagues to get to the final league of 16.



Here's how the final 16 line up.




Wanderers FC
Ramsgate Reds
BillySharps Comeback
The Scarlet Pimpernels
Defiance FC
LUCIFERS DRAGONS
Sunday Slackers
Hellsnear Rangers FC
Stonehenge FC
Nympho-Maniacs
Bravehearts
Crazy Gang
Amethyst United
Corinthian Clowns
The Bitches
Lowes A



There are most of the same old faces with a couple of newcomers and this season promises to be another hard fought battle to determine the winner. Last seasons winners were Hellsnear Rangers and the team that has been most dominant in recent seasons has been The Scarlet Pimpernells.

Talksport: Champions Shield Final Season 45



Jasper Goodhead
Windy
Hard Pitch
All i can say is that this is a strange report for two teams in a CS final.
The Comrades have one player slightly out of position (pos. 10). Glanford Park has two (2 and 10) and more one player injured all the game.
The first goal came in equals and for the team with more errors (Glanford).
This goal could have change the game (its very hard to suffer a goal in equals at the start of the game) but Glanford dominated next 45 minutes, so i guess he justified the win. Last 15 minutes were to the Comrades but it was too late.

Planetfootball: Champions Shield Final Season 39



Buster Jones Junior
Snowy
Muddy Pitch
It was snowing a lot in this final, but that didn´t stoped Dirtier Sanchez from winning the Champions Shield.
The game started with both teams playing defensive, like no one wanted to risk. After the first 30 minutes Sanchez dominated the game till the end of the 90 minutes scoring 3 times.
Fair win, congratulations to Robbo.

Season 45 on Talksport

Mr Ty Jones must have a shop about Sunday League. Another server, another managers table. Many congrats Again Ty.

Kitty Champions Shield Season 41




The current holders of the Champions Shield, Cannon Fodder (managed by yours truly), once again made the final in their attempt to retain their trophy. They faced a relatively new team to the server, One Size Fits All, who joined Kitty in late March and are managed by Jack (aka costellomusic).

One Size Fits All did tremendously well reaching the final, doing so with a team not as accomplished as other top teams on the server. And it was this fact that led to Cannon Fodder taking the Champions Shield trophy after a 2-1 victory.

One Size Fits All dominated the tactical battle 53-15 minutes, but couldn't take advantage against Cannon Fodder's more skilled side, and it was Cannon Fodder who took a 2-0 lead with 2 quick goals whilst on equal tactics early into the 2nd half. This prompted a tactical change by costellomusic where he took the tactical advnatage for the remaining 23 minutes of the game, but could only claw 1 goal back.

A harsh result for One Size Fits All, but i'm not going to complain :P

Kitty Elite Cup Final Season 41




The Elite Cup, one of the 3 majors, a trophy every team on the server wants to win. This season, one of the finalists wanted it more than the other, so much more in fact, that all he had to do to secure the prestigious Elite Cup trophy was to set up his team, something that Shelley Old Boys didn't manage to do.

Take nothing away from Kickstart Utd however, who have had a stellar season under the management of philly, having already won the ICC in style with a 5-1 win over Sydney FC Hammers. It's just a shame to see the finalist in the EC play 4-3-3 when his team is set up for 3-5-2. Well played Philly, you truly deserved your place in that final, and fully deserved the title :)

Season 47 on Felix

A very close season on Felix. Nobody won more than 1 title. The most important, the manager table goes to Redhill Rovers B. Won it after his first place on Conference 4.

Felix: Champions Shield Season 47


Terrence Frisk
Snowy
Frozen Pitch
It was snowing a lot in this game, and since the first minute when both teams entered in the pitch using a 5-2-3 formation that we all knew that would be dificult to find the winner.
Stella took advantage after the 15th minute and scored after 23 minutes.
The Clowns dominated in the last 30 minutes, but as they were playing 5-2-3 nobody scored... Inasin won but if this game were played in normal conditions the final result could be different. Well done anyway.




Season 43 on Liv 2

On the second server of Liverpool it was Ty Jones as a caretaker from Adam (wads) that made the best season on the server. A very close battle won by Ty just for 3 points, but if this wasnt enough he also won Elite and ICC Cup. Briliant... he must be the manager of the season.

Its time for Gary Hope to shine...again. I believe it was the stronger team that made the first goal for OurTimeToShine F.C. Second goal and the first came with advantage so ot much more to say in this game.
Its the 9th Champions Shield for OurTimeToShine F.C. Simply amazing.

Benny: CS Final Season 47


Meet the Manager: Shaun

Ok, there are many Shauns, but this one you dont want to find in your way on Sunday League or you will be in big trouble. His main team is on Benny server where he just have won anything a manager could wanted to win. Well... except one Elite Cup. With the user Larry he manages the team American Misfits on Benny server.

Hello, who are you?
Shaun, 35 years old, Essex

Wich team/teams and in wich server are you managing?
My main team are American Misfits on the benny server, i also play on teamtalk, team name Damp Crotch, dont know why i called them that? I also manage Gut Bargers on the lycos server, and just started on planetfootball with the Misfits.

How long are you playing SL?
Just had alook, since October 2004 !

What was your biggest moment in SL?
Ive won everything there is to win on the benny server, but the biggest achievment has to be winning the ICC on Lycos server this season with the Gut Bargers. I started the team about 5/6 seasons ago and havent spent a penny on the team! Just gained credits from voting and winning the lower divisions.

Who´s your biggest rival in SL?
Too many to list, so ill say all of the guys on benny server, weve got a good little community on benny. Great comps and banter along the way!

What is your favourite team in real life?
Norwich City, Being born and lived there most of my life.

Do you have any hobbies?
Anything rather than work!

What does attract you more on SL ?
As mentioned before, the guys on benny, and trying to win all the major comps.

What are you expecting of SL08?
A better transfer market would help! Also seeing the new competition when all servers merge into one. Should be intresting!

Thank you very much Shaun.

Lycos: Elite Cup Final Season 54


Brian Blinker
Rainy
Muddy Pitch
A game played with 5-2-3 against 5-2-3 so we all knew that would be a game with not many goals.
In fact, no one had more than 15 minutes with the tactical advantage. Generals Eleven took the lead in tactics for the last 15 minutes and saw the referee sending out one element of the other team at minute 89. Maybe that helped Generals Eleven scoring the winning goal at minute 91, but it was a very close one.

Talksport: Elite Cup Final Season 45


Lewis Lummox
Rainy
Soft Pitch
A very close game for a final, that could gone sooner to Subgenius but we needed to wait for extra-time to find the winner.
Subgenius controlled the game for 45 minutes in a row after minute 15 but just scored after the half time. Then it was time for the Clowns wich just scored after 14 minutes. Subgenius was a little fragile at the defense because he had one defender slightly out of position. After 75 minutes both shared the same tactics and it was just on minute 111 that the Australian manager scored the winning goal after the team of Ty Jones saw one of his players be sent out. Fair win, i guess.

Private Leagues: Champion of Champions 11 (Mogzilla)

The Champions of Champions its a very competitive league on Mogzilla that every season reunites all the champions from every Conference.
The great winner of the 11th edition was Dave Unsworth, managing the team "The Rods Too". Very close, just one point behind finished YourHavingaLaff F.C. managed by Gary Hope.
Many contrats to both.

Normal
Soft Pitch
This time the win wasnt for Gary. After winning the ICC a few days ago he was looking for another victory.
The game started better for Gary scoring the first goal in the first 30 minutes. The Felix Four had a little lucky scoring 1-1 when tactics were even and the game finished with this team with advantage wich game them the winning goal at minute 91. Second big cup for the Felix Four. Congrats.

Felix: Elite Cup Final Season 47


Billy Bludgeon
Hot
Normal Pitch
First final ever for The Bash Street Kids in their 7th season on the server.
On the other side the NORFOLK ENCHANTS, a very experienced team that was playing their 12th final in this server. First half was all for Norfolk, even with the changes of the Bash Street Kids at half time. The winning team changed at half time and loose control of the game, but recovered at 75 minutes. Fair game, but i wonder why NORFOLK changed 4 times the advanced tactics when winning. But it worked.

Tabby: Champions Shield Final Season 43


Michael McLintock
Rainy
Muddy Pitch
Last season winners Rapid Lisboa were for the third time in a row in the Champions Shield final. On the other sine was The Valleys Commandos managed by Stuart Clement, ICC and Manager Table winners. It was enough to be a very close game, but the portuguese manager of Rapid Lisboa failed a lot in just using one advanced tactic. I know that sometimes this works, especially against teams that cahnge a lot, but this was a big final... Fair win to StuartClement...

Meet the Manager: Stuart Riches

Stuart is another manager natural from piggy. You may know him from the forums under the username Stupac. Always fighting to win a big title, and it was on Man2 that he has his best season ever, winning everything that was to be winned. On piggy he is doing his 3rd season on top-flight 3-1-1.

Hello, who are you?
Stuart Riches, 17, Tonbridge, Kent, England...

Wich team/teams and in wich server are you managing?
My main team is in Piggy called The One United in the mighty 3-1-1 :) I also have a team on Man2 called FC Tonbridge and one on Planetfootball called Tonbridge Angels all under the username stupac...

How long are you playing SL?
Since November 2006. I had a team on Piggy a while before as well but didnt play very seriously and left...

What was your biggest moment in SL?
I won the Champions Shield, Elite Cup, Inter Conference Cup, the Managers Table, and my Division all in the same season a few seasons ago on the man2 server but that server is nowhere near as hard as the other 2 I am on there is only a handful on managers who would be good enough to compete on the other 2 but still that is not easy on any server to win them all :) So that was quite good I also reached the Champions Shield Final on Piggy as well :) ...

Who´s your biggest rival in SL?
Everyone Is A Rival...!

What is your favourite team in real life?
Manchester United...!!!

Do you have any hobbies?
Playing football, Going out with mates, Computer, PS2, playing Snooker/Pool anything like that...

What does attract you more on SL ?
The competitiveness is good I like winning big games as I am usually the underdog lol. The few seconds before you see your result in the morning for big Division and Official Cup games. I like reading the forums as well...

What are you expecting of SL08?
I would like it to be the same sort of game with the same basics so we wont have to get used to a whole new game I think a lot of people would leave if that happened. Also keep it simple dont make the game too complicated and take out the fun part. The Match Engine needs sorting out as well, no more stupid results. I'd like there not to be any formations that is stronger than the rest like 5-2-3 and 4-5-1. It will hopefully be very good with everyone in the same server competing to be the best in the game. And also better players on the Transfer Market more often...

From now on, Stuart will be our man on Man2. So soon maybe we will have some news fro him.

Tabby: Elite Cup Final Season 43


Michael McLintock
Hot
Normal Pitch
Another server, another final for the Clowns. I believe bluenose could have done much better. He had his only striker right injured for this game, so why not playing 4-5-1? He prefered to play with one striker slightly out of position. One small mistake can make the difference in this game. Two goals with equal tactics but i believe bluenose has payed the price for his own mistakes. Ty won his third Elite Cup in this server.
