Yellow Fever League - Nixie Edition

Premiership

I'm feeling bouncy...

two points of interest in the stats so far - my nix fc are still uncarded in this leage and yet I've had 3 red cards in the competitive leagues and I've got one guy bordering on a 5 yellow ban

also I note that I set up an under 21 reward and then realised this:

biggest ever grudge match tonight, nix v nix!!!!

Come on MAN! Was wondering why I had no match tonight...A STINKING BYE! :P

Guess I'll just have to get an extra week to prepare to face RCNS next week :D

Gah I really must remember to set my tactics for these games against TTU and Tegal, no wonder I keep losing by double-digits, I keep going slightly attacking then very attacking after 50 minutes #nohoper

tegal's nix up 1-0 over the real nix fc at 33 mins

lol 1-0 to your lot at 45 mins.

it's frustrating cos I've had twice the shots on target than you and yet you've scored! And you have a 3* keeper to my almost 4*.

and after a massive rark up at half time my nix lads have stormed into the lead 1-4 at 67 minutes!!!

tawa afc vs Peow - 0-3

elite vs surge - 2-3

Up 2-0 at home vs Waiouru at 70min mark.  Shocking shooting stats despite being up (16/3 vs 13/7 shots/on target), but good conversion rate for the shots on target I guess.  Hoping we can hold onto the win to maintain the 100% record!

Update:  woot won 3-0

Put the dam ball in the net. Come on

4-0 win at Naenae Park, Chris Wood doing all the damage. 

Actually, the fever premiership reminds me a bit of the ASBP. 

You've got the 2 Auckland teams who win it every year. When Paraparaumu Disjointed was in, they were kinda like tee Dubs. And N-Bombs side is clearly WaiBop 

not for long soon there'll be a nix side in there fighting the good fight - might not be your though :o)

nix derby ended 2-4 to nix fc.

elite vs surge ended tied 3-3

tawa vs Peow ended 0 - 3 to Peow FC.

onto next week!

Premiership

The Trains were actually leading TTU 0 - 1 early on.

Then it turned to puss...

Booooo AD Fafe should be third on Games Played..booooo!

Haha, good to see I didn't lose to much ground on my bye week.

Haha that is indeed weird. Even alphabetically you'd be on top. They must use games played as a determining factor, but the wrong way round. 

I had a weird situation once in international competition (when we used to be good) where me and another player were equal on everything after the group stage. I had beaten him twice in group stages, so felt I should have advanced. But he went through because of alphabetical order, costing me a crapload of money. I complained bitterly to the TM teamsters. They didn't care.

That was a turning point for my club too. It was all downhill after that. And now after the changes that help the top clubs in nz stay there, I doubt we'll return to such giddy heights. 

Which changes help the top clubs stay there? 

Mostly ridiculous $ payouts for international comps. 

It doesn't affect larger countries so much because of the number of teams they have, but a small country like nz it basically means the same teams retaining all the best players and getting into the international competitions all the time, so they can get $ to retain the best players and so forth.

^ That's why FMU is great, there are like six active sides so it's super easy to get in the Prem!
