Soccer Fantasy League
Hmm, maybe a SM league (game world) could be an interesting complement for the Fantasy Football etc. for these forums/community.

Re: 2013 MoFo Fantasy Football - The Playoffs
I'd be up for trying anything, but I've played other sports sims, and while I enjoy them in their own way, I find them less compelling than the ones based on real game results.
|
It does use real results, though not as directly as Fantasy sports, since the Soccer Wiki database is edited by users based on player's real performances.
Also, I'm not sure a Fantasy Football-like system would work well with association football at all, and association football is certainly known more worldwide than American football (it has a wider demographic in that sense). |

Theoretically, that could happen, though I can't think of any examples of that happening off the top of my head, and there's a bunch of examples to the contrary. It does seem to be the case that after any vote, an admin has to actually "enact" or deny the change, though I'm not completely sure because it doesn't seem to be explained anywhere on the Soccer Wiki.
There is one aspect that Soccer Manager uses that doesn't appear on the Soccer Wiki itself: transfer value, which I believe is computed based on rating, age and position, though which club (in the gameworld) the player is playing at also seems to make a difference in some situations. |
A "bump" in case Yoda et al missed the last post or it didn't show up due to all the posts being moved.

Re: Soccer Fantasy League
Would be up for this.

Re: Soccer Fantasy League
Not played Fantasy Football since the craze first started in the 90s - Young Boys Of Michael Jackson was one of the most common team names...
If I play I'll resurrect my old team name: Achtung Brian. ;D |

Re: Soccer Fantasy League
No, as in Football.
|
In Soccer Manager, the team names are actually those of real clubs, but I guess you could make "Achtung Brian" your profile name or something, since profile names have "first name" and "last name" fields.
An actual Fantasy Sports equivalent for association football I've never heard of, and might not work very well. |
Re: Soccer Fantasy League
Their popularity must have bombed in recent years then (understandable since the rise of deep computer sims) but Fantasy Football used to be extremely popular. Heck, there was even a TV show based on the format.

Yeah, the Fantasy format still seems to be popular with American sports (on these forums, even), but with association football, simulations seem a lot more common right now.

Re: Soccer Fantasy League
I loved the original series on BBC2.
"Saint aaaaand Greavsie talk about the Endsleighy League as if its iiiimmmportant." That was my favourite lyric. :laugh: |
Re: Soccer Fantasy League
Classic telly. ;)
I had mates who couldn't stand football who still loved the show. |
Re: Soccer Fantasy League
I'd be totally down for some kind of international fantasy football league. I know f*ck all about your teams, so I'd lean heavily on whatever ranking the system had and would be auto drafting of course, but then after I figure it out, I'd definitely be all over that mess. I can be ridiculously obsessive when it come to these things.
You know what would be really sweet? Some kind of fantasy league based on the World Cup. Or not. But yeah, I'm down. |

Re: Soccer Fantasy League
Just out of interest, did anyone ever try Football Manager Online? The official Sports Interactive one.
I subscribed for a couple of months a few years ago. Fun initially but, like every other MMO I've played, soon became a drag. |
To found a (the) new league in Soccer Manager, one person needs to pay 15 USD or so to actually create it, if I remember correctly. However, unlike with Football Manager Online the actual joining and playing of other people is free.
