FL 5 Preview

A big thank you to Ryan for his write up and reviews of the highly anticipated start of FL5. Reviews and the banter on the Forums is what makes this game still enjoyable for me. Thanks once again Ryan, Keep up the good work.


- THE VERY STRONG FL5 SEASON

13 Craven Cottagers (jimbo) – 10th 1-1-1, won conf a The cottagers strolled to conference A success last time out and finished a very respectable 10th in 1-1-1 a notoriously difficult top flight, with an ever improving team and fantastic private league form Jimbo's boys are surely a favourite this year.

Harchester Legends (jaymz) - , relegated fron FL4 immense team Relegated from FL4 last year but with team stats to die for Harchester have changed leagues in both league and friendly league and look rejuvenated and ready to get back up the leagues.

HaDoKeN F.C (captain_kush) – 2nd 2-1-4 , 10th FL5 Finished 10th last season in FL5 which was a great result considering the strength of the league, on top of that he gained promotion in the league to 2-1-3 which is a step closer to being dominated by big nick i suppose! but with the experience behind them captain kush could be looking upwards this term.

THE ELITE (manuck) – relegated 4-1-1, relegated from FL4 Former all time great of the game manuck is lower than i have ever seen him now but only through lack of turning up, if he turns it round and comes out to play THE ELITE will be one of the very very best again, after being relegated from 4-1-1 last year that could give him the kick to push on, relegation or promotion?? Manuck will decide.

Nutters (pedder5) – 2nd 6-1-2, runner up conf a runner up to the magnificent craven cottagers in conference A and to walpoles wipeouts in 6-1-2 last season, pedder will be looking to push on, he is very difficult to beat and always brings out the results when needed - definitely a dark horse for promotion again.

Silent Raiders (cakalino) – 9th 5-1-1, 11th FL5 Silent Raiders had a bad year last time finishing 11th but have the team to push on very well, finished 9th in one of the closest fought battles for a conference in 5-1-1, they will surely crack on this year and be real contenders.

Wobblers (snackhead) -10th 7-1-1 , won conf c Won conference C that contained some great teams and were unlucky not to turn me over in the conference cup to nail the double, adding 10th in 7-1-1 to that impressive conference run this team are evolving into a force, another team looking dangerous for consecutive promotions.

The Fatties (mick) –2nd 3-1-2 , 8th FL5 Mick has informed me that his fatties have a take away promise on for promotion, and who will stop fatties if food is involved? Jinxed himself last year after predicting promotion finishing 8th but has to be a favourite this year after sealing his spot in 3-1-1 and making massive strides forward.

Surreal Madrid (mickydoodle) -4th 4-1-1 , 6th FL5 A phenomenol 4th in 4-1-1 only one place behind one of the best ever in Floriana, and with a 6th place finish were the highest team not to be promoted from FL5 last year, Surreal madrid have a cracking squad, great experience and the winning knack, should definitely be at the very top end come the end of the season.

Betty Swollocks XI (alfie) – relegated 2-1-1, 12th FL5 Finished disappointingly last year after a 12th place in FL5 and relegation from 2-1-1 but definitely have the squad to mount a challenge. Alfie will be hoping for a better season and they are again another team that have been given the kick they need and will push on this year.

Psychotic (demigodkl1) – 8th 4-1-1, 7th FL5 An impressive season last time out, 8th in 4-1-1 and 7th in FL5 Psychotic will be raring to go, always difficult to beat and always finish near the top they will be looking to finish higher after only just missing out on promotion, they are a great team and will be there or thereabouts.

Woys Wed Army (ryanparker9) – 1st 1-2-1, won conf b My boys are coming along nicely finally moved up to 1-1-4 where stiffer competition await after a perfect season in the league, along with that a win in conference B and the double with the conference cup made last season a great one. My boys like to win but with the class in this division avoiding relegation will have to be the main objective for now, but dont write them off!!

Super Depor (feli) – 2nd 8-1-2 , runner up conf b Unlucky to finish 2nd in conference B last year, they were undone by a poor latter part of the season where draws started coming into play. However to finish off the beat champions Woys Wed Army and gained promotion to 8-1-1 after a few years out of the top flight. Feli is difficult to beat and will be one to watch.

Woodgate Wonderers (briggsy) – 4th 5-1-1, 9th FL5 Astonishing that the wonderers finished 9th in FL5 last time out after they stormed to 4th in 5-1-1 finishing above many teams that are highly thought of in the friendly league. They have a great team and bags full of experience they are a cracking team and briggsy will surely be looking at FL4 next year.

Spartak (cindy9) – 8th 2-1-1, 13th FL5 Had a poor finish in FL5 last year finishing 13th but with a great 8th in 2-1-1 Spartak will be looking to better that this season and push on forward, having looked through their squad i cant see 13th being on the cards this year and success will surely be coming.

Roman Empire (mufc2311) –won 7-2-4 , runner up conf c Roman Empire finished well last year to come 2nd in conference C behind Wobblers after a few dodgy results, looking elsewhere they cruised to their 7-2-4 title without any trouble and after one of the all time great cup runs were unlucky not to win the champions shield losing to a team of the season contender in Arkansas Indians. roman Empire can beat anyone on their day and will be a force to be reckoned with.

So after predicting at least 12 teams for promotion i think it is clear to see that this league will be wide open and an absolute nightmare to win, whoever is top at the end will deserve it!

Sorry if i got anything wrong with all that but it was my first attempt so wont be on Chris and Russ' level just yet! but hope it was ok. To finish off my difficult prediction for top 3 - 1- Surreal Madrid 2- Woodgate Wonderers 3- Harchester Legends Cheers Ryan

Champions Shield Final: Arkansas Indians 3 - 0 Roman Empire

Finally Roman Empire falled at the hands of a x-1-1 champion, and it was the 8-1-1 champ.
A game played in a sunny day, perfect to use continental. Roman Empire started with a 4-3-3, and with both teams starting in Counter-attack Arkansas scored his first goal at minute 24. Second half was all for the american team, and with the game like this he scored more two goals.
4th major to Arkansans Indians.

Champions Shield Final

Sat, 4 Dec 2010 Arkansas Indians vs Roman Empire

As we come to the end of another season we have the 3rd and last major final.This final is between a very established team and a relative newcomer,you couldn't have scripted it any better.

The Indians are managed by Eric(badcrazy)Thompson and have just won 8-1-1 for the 6th time.A previous winner of both the Shield and ICC,his path to the Final has been fairly straightforward beating Steel City Blades and Lagerfield in the Q/f and S/f.This season he finished 2nd in division 1 of the Smokey Friendly League,the hardest league on Smokey.
Roman Empire are managed by George(mufc2311)Antoniadis and have just won 7-2-4 winning all 30 games in the process and is obviously aiming for 7-1-1.Even tough this is only his 3rd season he has won a PL and has 4 runner-up spots.He finished 2nd in Conference C of the Smokey Friendly League and next season starts in FL5.On the way to the final he has beaten Biscuit Barrell,West Yorkshire Boys and Hereos of the Man.The teams have met once this season with the Indians winning 7-0,although this was a friendly and we can't read too much into the score.

As for a winner my head says it has to be the Indians with all their experience,history and Conference 8 championship.My heart would say the newcomer Roman Empire who has shown on the way to the Final he is capable of beating anyone.

And the winner is Arkansas Indians.

Good luck to both,congratulations to the winner and comisserations to the loser.

Elite Cup Final: Cubana Villains 1 - 0 Ashbourne Road

We had two teams that were in a major final for the first time, Cubana Villains and Ashbourne Road.
A passing game that Cubana choose 4-3-3 with longball, and did it very well.
Just 15 minutes of advantage for each team, but the winning goal came when the tactics were even.
Unlucky for brunzwick, its the first major for Cubana.

Final Tables - Season 79

The season have finished last night, so time for a small review and watch all the Conference tables.

Conference 1
The Rods have seen the title escape him for a long time, after several times finishing in 2nd and 3rd place. But the revenge came from the cold this season, another very competitive one at the top, in a league that is losing a lot of quality, with several decent managers leaving the game, and other not logging in. Ocean City Orioles wich made his debut in FL1, and his without any doubt one of the strenghts of the server, finished not far away, and the surprise came from TSG Hoffenheim wich seems to be managed by the same Spiteri as Floriana ended in a brilliant 3rd place. DonkaLonk Fc haven´t logged for most of the season, and ended almost on relegation zone.


Conference 2
Of course, the all powerfull Anfield Rd Rangers did it again. Maybe he have forgotten how many seasons he has won the league, but the big question is is there anyone capable of winning this league? Nick must be a little tired of doing it, so he has started winning FL1, wich he did for the 5th time. Next season a big challange may come from Mihai. Let´s see.
The battle for second place its always interesting, and this time gone for HH Beticos, followed by The Rags. Cubana lost his second place that was from him in the past 3 seasons, but he is on the final of the Elite Cup, and got acess to FL1, finally.


Conference 3
Byron Park did it again, for the 4th time in a row, but this wasn´t the same Frenchy as in other seasons before. Got relegated in FL1, wasn´t much noticed in the big majors, but enough strenght to win the Conference again.
Chasing Memories and The Rumour Mill were close, so let´s see if someone can stop Frenchy from winning for the 5th time in a row.
The league is still competitive, only Guriezo United F.C. wasn´t loging in, i guess.


Conference 4
Like Conference 3, also the last seasons winner was in a bad form. But Floriana lost the title that won 4 times. The surprise came from Screaming Vengeance. First time on the league, and he did it beating a also surprising INTER STELLA D.C, wich seems to be back on the top. Not a big difference between these two, Floriana and Surreal Madrid who also did a great season. his second best since the arrive at top flight.


Conference 5
Biscuit Barrell is, once again the winner for this league. Competition is not so high as in the past, but there is still no one better than him.
4 teams behind came Attack Attack Consilidated from Indonesia. Another team debuting in FL1, and seems to be always a candidate. FC Pobeda in 3rd and i believe that the biggest surprise came in 4th place, from Woodgate Wonderers. A team always struggling a lot, but for a while, i believe that he dreamt that could have won the league. Maybe next time, mate.


Conference 6
There was an ocean between the new champion anf the rest of the league. South City took the lead on the start of the season, and took a train to win the league. Nobody seen it since then. HarriCam Wanderers was the closest that anyone can get to him, and just finished 12 points behind, followed by the rest of the group, 25 points behind!!!


Conference 7
Deca was brilliant this season. With Cubana he got to a major final and got promotion to FL1, with Aston Villains he won the title that was running away in the past 7 seasons. He won really confortably, with only the quiet Stonehenge FC finishing 10 points behind. Previous two champs, Lagergied and Blue Star Knights came 17 points behind.


Conference 8
Arkansas Indians seems to be taking the league by assault. Briliant season, capable of winning the Team of the Season title. Won the league for the 7th time, got to the Champions Shield Final and ended as runner up of FL1. Only Anfield did it better.
FC Haag Utd finished close to Eric, and seems to be winning form again. Jellybellies was also very good after the 3rd place conquered followed by newbie Dunstablians. Another newbie did a great record after reaching the Elite Cup final. It was Ashbourne Road who ended 10th place in the league.


That´s it.

Champions-Shield - Semi-final

So the semi´s of the Champions Shield were played last Monday, let´s see the results:

Heroes of The Man 0 - 1 Roman Empire
I guess nobody was expecting a win from Roman Empire, a very young team with his players on 2nd and 3rd season, but he really beat the Conference 1 champion, thanks to a goal at minute 91, extra-time, with the tactics even. The game was very close in tactics, and only the random goal could have decided wich one would be on the final. A great season for Roman Empire, wich arrived at this final after beating Conference 1 and Conference 5 champions. Next one is Conference 8, will he do it again?

Lagerfield 0 - 1 Arkansas Indians
In this big game, two of the Conference Champions meet, to decide wich of them would go to the final. A brilliant season for Arkansas, after winning Conference 8 again, and also a great second place in the Friendly League. On the other habd there was a dissapointed Lagerfield, with finished in 3rd, 16 points behind the leader.
Longball game, and its all said. The game was leveled in tactics for almost all the time, and the goal came just in extra-time for Arkansas.
Eric is on the final for the 5th time. Has won champion Shield one time, and I.C.C. for two times, could be his 4th big major. A win in this game, could put him in good conditions to win the title of Team of the Season. Right?
