Four years ago, on this very board, a select bunch of misfits and trolls did the unexpected to win in South Africa. The first sign of greatness came when we beat the Netherlands in our qualifying group, but that was quickly shattered when we lost to Macedonia; progressing to the tournament by beating Serbia in the playoffs on away goals, we dominated our group before pounding USA Portugal, hosts South Africa into the dust - the final against France going the distance to a dramatic penalty shootout.

And now we're back, to fight through the pain once again and have our names carved into history.

And now, we get down to the number crunching. I need a team, a world beating team, composed of quality players created by you, the reader. Unlike some other lesser creatures around here, I do not reduce myself to save scumming or hex editing to succeed. If you give me shit - we'll crash out in the qualifiers and you'll only have yourselves to blame, with the only consolation I can give you is that of a revolver and a single bullet and a reminder to do the honourable thing.
:smug:



With that in mind, and taking into account the many extremely quick min-maxed players I got last time, this time around I'll be running a point buy system to round things out a little with a few exceptions based on stats where higher doesn't equal better.

Keeping it reasonably simple: a value of 1 to 10, every increase costs 1; from 11 to 15, every increase costs 2; from 16 to 20, every increase costs 3. So a Pace of 17 would cost 26 and a Agility of 14 would cost 18.

Free Stats: Dirtiness, Eccentricity, Tendency to Punch
Half-cost Stats: Aggression, Flair, Leadership, Versatility

Height: (cm)
Weight: (kg)
Nation: (optional)
Shirt Number: (optional)

Fuck the world cup. Go back to this.

Pah, feel free to use Roflstomp Mondblutian on page 2, I am not bothering to recalculate it based on "going from 17 to 17.3 costs 624^1.3 points".

1-10 costs 1 each, 10 total for 10p. Easy
11-15 costs 2 each, 15 total for an additional 10p (11, 2p, 12, 2p, 13, 2p, 14, 2p, 15, 2p; 5*2p = 10p extra in all).
16-20 costs 3 each, 20 total for an additional 15p (16, 3p, 17, 3p, 18, 3p, 19, 3p, 20, 3p; 5*3p = 15p extra)
Where do I go wrong? Is it that all stats start at 1 at no cost?

Nah. Is a typo on my behalf. I was in a hurry when I made the post. Even subtracting an additional point for every 20 he has, there is plenty of points left over.

It's not like it's rocket science. You're just adding up numbers. But maybe that's too much work for nu-Codex.

Funny. I was saying the same thing right before we ending up in two penalty shootouts last round. +M

A minimum of 40 games? Fuck that, even a dozen is painful. I considered a regular league based LP, but I can't really see it working with Codex-generated players, and I can't see the interest levels being high enough without. Besides - I do not have the time anymore for that to be an option.

Not reading the system might come back to bite you in the arse, but you're converted and in.

So, we're going with the most popular tactic of this WC.:incline:

Just be sure to man-mark opp wingbacks with strikers when needed. Otherwise it will be a painful thing to watch when we got butchered by constant crosses.
