well in our fixture, they've again said they have no subs, just like in the previous set before the transfer window.

5 games need to be played, two of them active. The others are 5 days off, 5 days off, and 17 days off.
Considering it was the exact same thing in the previous fixture, I don't see how any progress has been made.

Cke hasn't played this set against you, plus they have 3 active players who aren't eligible for this set. If they were allowed to play then I would hope that defaults would be avoided.

There was players quitting in the set before transfer window and a few left during. It seems like the Underdogs have been left to struggle to find whatever players are left now, and have managed a few signings which could help them avoid folding. They've made the progress this set, so you'd only see it next set under normal circumstances.

Considering they can't sign anyone in a clan already, they're making progress towards stability.

That doesn't help us though, does it?
Unless we get the appropriate default scores, which will probably not be the case considering how tight the default teams have become, then we're getting screwed out of a bunch of points that others were able to cash in by having active opponents.

^He must've made a mistake then. But it still means that at least two games are not getting played! They've had loads of time to find new players.

If the players are allowed to play then it does, You would have 6 active opponents for 5 games. FBL didn't have the week break like FCL. So he didn't really have time, if there was then he would have 3 eligible players right now. So he's been screwed over by the system.

They've constantly had games that need playing, and he has been looking. There's not really many free agents left he could sign, and they might not want to go to his clan. Seeing as one of the inactives is a VC it means less ability to find new players.

Not saying you aren't being screwed out of points, I think something needs to be done and I think they're capable of recovering

yes, but it's been like this for 4 weeks at least, so they did have time. I know it's not really cke's fault, because it's tough to find new players that don't deactivate.
But sometimes when that happens, teams just have to fold...
Careful about letting players play in the same set- sets a pretty bad precedent.

But having said that, if they do have eligible players, then they should of course continue- someone just needs to let cke know that he has subs lol.

I wouldn't be for allowing it every time. Just in circumstances where it will make a difference. Like giving a clan 3 extra subs when they have only one and sill have inactive players.

He's lost 2/3 players, plus 2/3 become inactive who weren't. If the players hadn't become inactive he'd have been fine, and if he hadn't lost those players in the window he'd have been fine.

He has said he's been looking, some people have more trouble than others. Especially while he has other clans still looking for players.

Folding (or removing themselves from the league) should be the last resort, I think the problem can be fixed. Though it's up to the league runners to make the decision.

Here's an idea: Instead of Pheonix Storm constantly signing players, that they don't really need, why don't they push them towards the Underdogs to help them out?

And no, Ash, this is not a dig at you or PS, just a suggestion?

Simple answer really, the players all have signed as they want to assist with the project/our objectives and secondly having a few reliability issues at the moment so best to set up contingency plans, called forward-thinking.

Can the runners please sort something out with Underdogs?

There's confusion as to who is eligible to play. We played a game against mrfent, who is apparently eligible in FCL, but not FBL. From what I can tell, there will almost certainly be at least 2 defaults because Underdogs don't have enough players on. I don't want to see any measly 3-0 defaults for us here- we'd be scoring loads more if we got a chance to play against a clan with active players!
Either way, we need to know who is eligible to play for them so that we can look for subs.

no one itold u i was only sub

Exactly- we're getting screwed here.

You can't blame the team if the defaults are screwing you over. Have to blame league runners

Can I ask what the league runners attitude is to team captains or vices blatantly lieing to them to try and get undeserverd default points ?

Recently certain members are trying to pull the wool over your eyes, aka fattmikke

If this isn't dealt with I feel I will have to withdraw from league

Thanks Colin
