Poor old Geggy misses out by being unfortunate enough to be the 2nd keeper. He'll no doubt be getting a run in the starting side during the pre-season though, to see how he copes. There will be a rotation policy during the season as it's only fair. I hope you're all happy with where you're playing and if any of you have any objections just get me on MSN (keggisrast@hotmail.com for those playing at home) and we'll talk about it.

Good luck guys and lets take this thing out.

I just saw that player skill changes are possible till the start of the pre-season, so I was wondering if we could 'cheat' the system with one of our keepers switching to a midfielder or defender, leaving a CW'er on the bench in favour of a random, unskilled player seems a bit stupid.

Plus, our team's probably got the worst primary skill average. Mat, you'll be playing as a DM, so those striker skill points will do absolutely squat. I'm in favour of you transferring all of them to your passing. If Tarick and Burkey could increase their defending a bit, that'd be great. Not forcing anyone though.

Indeed, I didn't really want to force this on anyone, but it would really help the team out. Though I don't feel having one keeper in the squad is a good idea so I don't advocate that (especially when his agression is high) but if Tarick, Burpe and Mitchell would like to swap some of their points around it would be great for the team. If you want to, you don't have long and will have to talk to Goffster (or me and I can talk to him).

Crap, I must be drunk :|

Hmm yeah, then if Greg does read this and wants to start every week then he should consider talking to Brendan about switching his stats.

Between this, Dev League, WCC and other commitments, I'm more than happy to be back up keeper...

Makes sense tbh. Can you get it changed from 15-15-9 to 19-19-1 please?

Smith, I'll catch you on MSN about changing to something that will suit the team. Happy to do it, just got no idea what changes are ideal.

Okay, confirmed a stat change here with Burpe. He's emailed Goffy about it and hopefully he can confirm a stat change. As has Mitchell.

If these changes go through our side looks much better in specialised positions, and will pose a much larger threat.

Have got and confirmed Burkeys stat change, however nothing has been received for Mitchell as yet...

Here is the latest version of your Team Data...

If Mitchell changes his stats and you know how to edit the stats Smithy then you can if not speak to either myself/cloete or Steds on MSN...

I'm pretty sure this should be confirmation enough for you Brendan, but if you do need an email then I'll get him to send another.

I actually don't know how to change stats and don't have current access to my CWXIF stuff as I'm not at home so I will ask Bennett if he comes online soon, otherwise I'll wait for you or Cloete.

Thanks Sean-y baby.

Okay, if anyone else wants to adjust themselves you've pretty much got until tomorrow, as I'll be submitting the side to play on Sunday. Otherwise, let's rock and roll.

Actually, let me go back on my previous statement. I'll change my stats so I'm not a goalie anymore:

Goal Keeping Skill: 1
Tackling: 1
Passing: 6
Shooting: 32
Aggression: 90

You'd condemn Currie to the bench in doing that, are you sure you don't want to be a midfielder? It would allow everyone of our CW'ers to play in the same side. But if that's what you want, then no worries (Y)

Yeah just looked at our stats. It would make sense for someone to stack their passing points as otherwise we will get destroyed in mid field i would imagine.

If Greg really wants to play up front I will bite the bullet and change my stats I guess...
