OK I'll weigh in with some picks - note this isn't at all anything for or against any of the managers, just my feelings based on the squads picked and how I envisage each team will line up and then how I think that will result in each game playing out (so basically I'm guessing)

Matt's Maestros - Lippo's Losers
Gotta go with my Ashes captain here.


Carlisle City FC - Waka Waka
I can presonally attest that Craig is a very decent VS player but I must admit I am concerned that if Jamie unleashes his tactic from the Jamie Carragher story then god help us all.


Wanyama's in Pyjamas - Multiple Scoregasm FC
Tough one as I have no experience much seeing how either play but I slightly like the looks of Taskers's squad more.


Blink-1 Eto'o - Mendez Marauders
Again - only because I am more familiar with Brendn's exploits from his stories.


The Angry Burritos - Gegenpressers FC DRAW
Got a feeling both Znik and AW190 might be bolters in this tournament.


Spartak Bosco - Out_on_Bale
I still remember Disco's 5-2 win over Lip in the Ashes.


Living on FM FC - Sunlight Sky
Backing Lewie in for the win here.


PFC Sporting - Stuntcock FC
No comment here - don't like making predictions about my own games that come back to bite me in the ****!!




EDIT: Started writing this post up before the Craig/Jamie match was up...

I was expecting to lose as well to be perfectly honest!
 
I'll go with these predictions...

Matt's Maestros v Lippo's Losers - DRAW

Wanyama's in Pyjamas V Multiple Scoregasm FC

Blink-1 Eto'o V Mendez Marauders

The Angry Burritos v Gegenpressers FC - DRAW

Spartak Bosco v Out_On_Bale - DRAW

Living on FM FC v Sunlight Sky

PFC Sporting v Stuntcock FC

These will probably be 100% wrong of course, and best of luck to everyone!

Well personally I have Jamie in as favorite for this whole thing so a draw against him is a very good opening result mate!!!

I feel like the odd one out in a bit of a group of death, so anything i get is a bonus to be honest!
 
PFC Sporting v Stuntcock FC

Reckon the first goal in this one will be key. Having played Mk in pre-season I can assure you he is no mug but if Yeti is allowed to play on the counter there is no better from what I've seen in the Ashes.

Round 1 Previews:

Group A:
Matt's Maestros - Lippo's Losers
A very interesting matchup in the group of death, two experienced players will go head to head in a match where defeat is unacceptable.
Carlisle City FC - Waka Waka
Taking advantage of an early pick and getting Ronaldo should help Williams' side against a tough opponent in CraigWL, who had a very decent preseason campaign.

Group B:
Wanyama's in Pyjamas - Multiple Scoregasm FC
Boasting a very taunting name, Bornexplorer looks to take on a relative unknown in Taskers01; however, this will have to wait until next week to be played, as Taskers is on vacation. Nevertheless, should be a very interesting way to end the first round.
Blink-1 Eto'o - Mendez Marauders
Possibly the game of the round, two heavyweights, Stonecold and Brendn, are set to take on each other, knowing that a loss could seriously hurt their chances in the group and overall seedings. This is the Premier Match of the Round, and all eyes should be watching for the result.

Group C:
The Angry Burritos - Gegenpressers FC
This is a very interesting matchup, because both of these players have chosen strong teams and have experience playing, so anything can go here. For this reason, this has been labelled the Underdog Match of the Round.
Spartak Bosco - Out_on_Bale
Nomadic, better known as Zacram's cousin, will look to make his own name on the site against a serious dark horse for the title, Disclaimer. Two very even sides with a lot to lose in this match.

Group D:
Living on FM FC - Sunlight Sky
With his only online experience being an 8-1 drubbing in the FM-Base Knockout Cup, Yiliang probably has the lower odds to win this match against a very experienced single-player gamer, Lewie. However, the latter has had a rather poor preseason, so all the pressure is on him to perform in this tournament.
PFC Sporting - Stuntcock FC
One of the most intriguing matches of the round, FM-Base Ashes player Yeti01 is set to take on Mkmillwall, the host of the tournament. This result could make or break the group, as Mkmillwall has had a very good preseason campaign, yet has much less experience in FM Multiplayer play than Yeti.

​Tell me what you think guys, thoughts on the round ahead?

In the next preview, could you maybe add their FM Base names so I know who you're talking about?

So many people are against Born(Multiple Scoregasm) haha we will see if that's true. Disagree with your prediction on the last round though ;)

Sorry mate, yea I'll do that next time my bad!
 
Also guys, working on getting actual group standing images soon, so should have those before the first round :) when I get those I'll edit that post to make it look much better have no worry ;) there might even be a cool knockout tree graphic as well!

EDIT: That moment when you read the Ashes start to finish to research Yeti's tactics lol Our game will be going on tomorrow at 1PM or 2PM GMT for those interested.

Did you have to bring that up mate?

Needless to say I will be seeking revenge should I make it out of my group.

Oh **** let's just say shots will soon be fired :)

Shots were fired allright in last nights test game vs Stonecold! So many shots.... shots everywhere! Guess that's what you get for picking Hulk :P

I was also going to point out Matt's win over me in the Ashes when picking your match but decided to keep it short and sweet :D

Wrong forum for those troubles ;)

EDIT: Check page 1, group tables have been updated, looks a lot better now :)

Nice to see everyone thinks me and Znik will be a draw, hopefully it won't be 0-0 (although with the way my defence performed in preseason, 0-0 would be a great result!)
 
Was a really good game with Craig! couldn't believe Clichy but that's football :P

Like he said was a good opponent to play!

Looking forward to some other results!
 
Just another question... are we still allowed to play friendlies between the competitive games?
