I am very happy with the spread of results - a lot of predictable results with a fair few upsets - Barnsley 4 Man U 3 amongst then!

OK - League games will start either Wednesday or Thursday. Feel free to buy a player if you have been given the chance. Or save your money for the next transfer window in 3 or 4 'game weeks'. You will have 10 or 12 chances to buy so spend wisely!

I probably will be away from NSC until tomorrow but will answer questions then.

Who scored for Brighton ?

I could always get a 14 sided dice to decide scorers. But maybe not!

 

[Kryten]

both my teams lost

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

How long is a 'game week' ?

and don't say '7 game days'

 

[tinx]

Lost 2-0 to bloody walsall, I do hope thats not an indicator for the rest of the season.

 

[lincs seagull]

drew with leeds what have i got a dice with the number 0 on it

 

[Trigger]

Lost 2-0 to bloody walsall, I do hope thats not an indicator for the rest of the season.

I wonder who Walsall are? My other team. Coventry, didn't do too well though!

 

[Gazwag]

drew with birmingham what have i got a dice with the number 0 on it

 

[The Great Cornholio]

drew with leeds what have i got a dice with the number 0 on it

If you feel brave, read the part in the rules about goal cards. It is not as simple as rolling a dice, getting a 6 which means 6 goals. It is designed to be fairly realistic.

How long is a 'game week' ?

and don't say '7 game days'

I am using the official fixture list for next season. A game week is 7 days on that calendar. In real time, it will depend how often I can simulate matches. It will work out that transfers may happen every 3 to 5 matches.

To simplify the above, one game week has elapsed when all fixtures for a Saturday and midweek have been played. I may have a day off work and manage to simulate these games in a couple of hours or there may be a couple of days between fixtures. It depends on my free time.

A full simulated season will (hopefully) not last all season. It may last 10 - 20 weeks. Time will tell.

 

[Artois]

Stockport 3 - 0 Portsmouth

 

[CHAPPERS]

Go on the Ruskis!

 

[beorhthelm]

on scorers, you dont need a 1d14 (picking up some of this dice terminology ) but 2d6 and add 2 to the result, thereby making the number 9 and 10 most likly to score.

 

[Rangdo]

Beat Reading 3-2. Ali won't be happy

 

[Gazwag]

on scorers, you dont need a 1d14 (picking up some of this dice terminology ) but 2d6 and add 2 to the result, thereby making the number 9 and 10 most likly to score.

But then Watson (2) and Mayo (3) would never score



So thats probably quite accurate then
