• European Cups SophCons and Use-the-NT

    From Futbolmetrix@21:1/5 to All on Mon Sep 16 15:22:12 2024
    I don't think I'll be able to manage these as I have in previous years.
    But, if we want to go ahead with them, I would suggest the following:

    Champions League SophCon: 4 categories for each team
    - Top 8 (playoff round bye)
    - 9-16 (playoff round seeded)
    - 17-24 (playoff round unseeded)
    - 25-36 (eliminated)

    Europa League SophCon: same as above
    ConfLeague SophCon: same as above


    Use-the-NT: let's restrict it to just Champions League and Europa
    League. MD1 spread out over two weeks.

    Armata Brancaleone first draft:
    DF: Gatti, Dimarco, Cambiaso, Bellanova
    MF: Zaccagni, Lo. Pellegrini, Barella, Frattesi, Brescianini
    FW: Retegui(c), Orsolini, Immobile

    Where should we send them to and by what date ?
    Perhaps we should allow entries after the first set of matches is
    completed ?

    That's one possibility. The other is that people just add their

    I've added my entry to the Google Sheet.

    Ciao,
    Werner

     Done with my entry, too. A few minutes late, but not looking at scores.

    I have added an entry to the spreadsheet or at least I think so. Not
    very good at that stuff. I saved a copy to my computer. I assume I am
    a bit late as Jesus says he was, but I have no idea when the matches
    start today or who is even playing. Cancelled my DAZN subscription and
    have not looked at any news or sports all morning as I was away for
    medical appointments.


     Tchau!
     Jesus Petry

    WP, MH and JP and AG entries are valid.

    I have seen the scores of the two early matches and the score after 10
    minutes of the late matches, so I guess I'll have to pass on my entry.

    I'll try to get in ClubElo and TM entries at some later stage.

    Or, we could just allow everybody to update their entries after the
    conclusion of MD1 (I think we did that at least once with the SophCon)

    I had overlooked this message when I replied to the Use-The-NT thread.

    Can we do it the other way I suggested in the other message?
    7 matchdays starting October 1, include all three competitions, ignore
    the 'Conference League teams freeze to death' week in December.

    I think skipping the first CL and EL match is better anyway because at
    least for myself I can definitely state I need it for orientation.

    I certainly need some time to figure out what the options are. Haaland
    as captain, and Gyokeres (Sporting) for the Vikings. Load up on starting
    Bayern players for the Flickers.

    Captain Harry for the Bungs and then whatever.

    Yes, correct

    Trying to do this but on both the online version and a downloaded file
    the summing up of columns and OK message for correct tallies is not

    Looking at Werner's sheet it seems to be adding up OK (mine is not), but
    is giving OK for lines that don't equal 1.

    That's because I added the sum formulas by hand, but nothing else.

    I don't think I'll be able to manage these as I have in previous years.
    But, if we want to go ahead with them, I would suggest the following:

    Champions League SophCon: 4 categories for each team
    - Top 8 (playoff round bye)
    - 9-16 (playoff round seeded)
    - 17-24 (playoff round unseeded)
    - 25-36 (eliminated)

    Europa League SophCon: same as above
    ConfLeague SophCon: same as above

    Did I miss a spreadsheet for this?


    Use-the-NT: let's restrict it to just Champions League and Europa
    League. MD1 spread out over two weeks.

    Are we going with just the Champions League and Europa league or all three ? Lineups due on Tuesday before matches ?



    Armata Brancaleone first draft:
    DF: Gatti, Dimarco, Cambiaso, Bellanova
    MF: Zaccagni, Lo. Pellegrini, Barella, Frattesi, Brescianini
