AP FIFA 13 League

Welcome to the AP FIFA 13 (Xbox) League.



This is a casual tournament that a few of regulars in the soccer/football thread have done for a few years, and we wanted to expand into our own thread!


We're gonna do a fantasy draft just to incorporate a larger player pool, instead of facing the same static teams each week.


Right now were drafting, but if you are interesting in joining season two let me know!

Post Reserved For Rules and Updates


Draft Rules:

Each team will select 20 total players. Draft will snake so if you get the first pick your next pick will be #16.


After the draft you will be able to sign players that no one chose / release ones you dont want at any point with a maximum roster size of 23, with two goalkeepers needed on each team, and on the bench each match.




League Rules:

We will have a League, Cup and Playoff Tournament during this season.

The League will consist of playing each team twice, and a winner will be determined based on points, then goal difference, then goals forced. If it' still tied then, well fuck me.


The Cup will consist of four players playing a play in match, in which card penalties will not count just because they have to play an extra match and thus it would be unfair.

So it will look like:
Qualifier: Two teams will be eliminated. No cards will count.
Quarterfinal: Four Teams will be eliminated.
Semifinal: Two teams will be eliminated.
Final: One team will be eliminated.


PLEASE RECORD STATS FROM MATCHES. EVERY SECOND YELLOW WILL BE A 1-MATCH SUSPENSION EVEN IN DIFFERENT MATCHES. Just so it's kinda more a squad rotation game not just one set starting lineup.


I want to have a top goalscorers, top assists, top clean cheets stats going on. So write those down!



Dont be a dick, this is for fun.

Most of us are friends so the need to cheat or disconnect or other bullshit just seems sad to me.



If a game disconnects, I think the two players should decide what to do.

What I personally like to do, is simply start up another match and play out the match.

So if it was 1-1 in the 60th, we would start up another match and simply play till the 35th min then both agree to end the match then.

One more just to be sure.

[Stavie Steelo]

I might be in if I end up getting this game. Still debating it. I'm not to good at this game though.

[Mibabalou]

Just to give people an idea we did this for 11



4 star teams max and we had to use a different team each match, just so we all dont have to play Barca / Madrid every match.

I kinda want to do a fantasy draft of 20 players each, but if people wanna do a single team or what we did in 11 im down for whatever.

[Oddpac87]

As I said, I'm in favor of the fantasy draft idea. I don't think it's an option in the game, but shouldn't be too hard for us to keep track of. You can use custom teams against people as long as they're friends.

Yeah no matter what we do, it'll just be in custom matches since the FIFA league are crap if you disconnect it gives the other dude a 3-0 win and you cant do in season cups and shit.

[Tyler Vagyler]

I'll do it but I suck.

[youenvydoug]

didn't notice this being made

[youenvydoug]

If we do a fantasy draft, does anyone think it would be beneficial if say round one we all draft forwards, round two defenders, round three midfielders, etc or some order.

I don't really care what format we do it, I just wanted to throw out an idea.

[Tyler Vagyler]

I went to gamestop to pre-order today and the guy told me their whole reservation system is down. Hopefully I can grab it tomorrow.

I have no preference in how we set up the league. Fantasy draft sounds cool.

I forgot to post my gamer tag. dougfob.

When are we gonna start the draft process if that's the route that's chosen?
