Official Operation Sports 10v10 team sign up..

[BrianFifaFan]

Okay guys, it's time! This thread is for guys who want to make the commitment for the upcoming 10v10 season for Fifa09. This will be a 360-based league. Please join if you are willing to be commited for the entire season. For now, please give your gamertag, position desired to play and a name for our squad. If we can come to consensus, we'll call it that. If we have multiple names that we must consider, we'll put up a poll. We also will decide which real-life squad we'll become. Remember that all squads will have equal attributes, so we don't have to be a Barca' or Man U. Finally, we'll elect a manager that'll decide starting lineups and keep track of stats and performances. That info will be recorded in a recap of our matches to be written up by Exboxur. I'm going to try to figure out a way to have video highlights, as well. Anyone who has proper capture equipment and advanced editing capabilities, let me know! Let's win the USA! Brian

Sign me up for support striker.

I think someone has lead striker on lock.

Excited about not having the possibility of playing "any"

I'll tentatively throw my hat in. I still think it's too early to setup anything firm yet when the game is still weeks away and we don't know how the 10v10 or the clubs work. And I'm not sure having a manager and having that person decide who plays and whatnot is really such a good idea. Most games I'm sure will be simply who is on? and let's play! Who plays what and where will shake itself out over time rather than people just claiming positions beforehand.

Overall, it's about fun, and trying to structure a team where people are staking their claim to positions and a "manager" is deciding who plays what doesn't sound like that to me. I'd rather be part of a group that pays pickup games when we are on and let the dynamics of the group figure itself out. What we have here sounds too serious to me.

Would love to be a midfielder and/or RB/LB! OS will destroy people.

While I'm at it, I'd like to nominate Blaxican for a F/ST position

I can agree with that. For FIFA Clubs, I'm pretty sure that it will come down to use using whoever is online on the time.

I agree with your point about the positions, I just know that I'm a better defender and distributor than I am a stick skilled/trick move striker.

Attacking Midfielder or Winger, por favor.

For those worried about taking this too seriously, I understand your concern. The first couple weeks after 09 is released should be about getting people who are willing to sign up and play, trying out different positions, getting a feel for the new controls of the game etc. But eventually, it would be nice to nail down our top 10 guys and have them listed as an "A" team to do some serious butt kicking. This way if our top crop players are on at the same time as the rest of our guys, we'll be able to say (without being mean ), "Hey, so and so is going to get in on next game with us." Considering clubs will be allowed to have much more than twenty something players, I think this will work well. Perhaps we can also set up two squads, an A team and Reserve team. If we did things this way, it'd be easier to pick out the top players from the reserve squad to get the call up.

As was mentioned, the game is still a few weeks off, so nothing is set in stone yet. Let's keep up the chatter and discussion about how to work this out, but wait until the game comes out to make any final decisions about how to do this.

So, then you're willing to tell someone "So-and-so is on now, so they are going to play instead of you"? That sounds nice.
