-JMH- 8,565 Report post Posted January 24, 2013 Welcome to the inaugural EC7777 NextGen Cup Thread! Season 5 of the prestigious 7777 English Championship sees the arrival of a new tournament to showcase some of the best U20 talent around. The competition consists of a 4 team Group stage, with winners playing knock out football to decide a winner! The first 8 teams to register interest in the 1st Edition NextGen Series include: FOREST GREEN ROVERS ARSENAL CHELTENHAM SOUTHAMPTON LEICESTER YORK WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS BOLTON WANDERERS Basic Rules: 2 Groups of 4, Home and Away Ties. Winner of the group progresses to the knock out stages. U20 starting lineups only. NO overage(21+) players. If you cant field an U20 first 11, you must select the lowest rated next available player even if it means playing them out of position!!!! All games will be checked, points docked for rule breaches! Fixtures will be scheduled and notifications for match arrangements posted in the GW & Forum, followed up with PMs. The tournament will be ongoing throughout the season. More teams are wanted to register for the next phase of Group stages! Register your interest on the Forum thread, GW news feed, PM myself or post on here below!

Maybe anyone who is 20 and under when squads are submitted are eligible for the duration of this next gen series. Due to no injuries and suspensions for friendlies everyone can name there starting 11 and bench b4 the tournament starts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

York City NextGen Team. Subs, K.ARI, H.MUKHTAR, A.NABBOUT, N.CLARK, G.ETOCK, J.BRYAN, C.MANÉ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-JMH- 8,565 Report post Posted January 25, 2013 Re: 7777 NextGen Cup Thread ok, just to clarify, if you cant put an 11 of U20s out, as i said you fielded your worst squad members in the vacant positions. also if you win with a 'patched up' side, your docked a point as a penalty. seems fair to me in the 1st edition. benches can be overage, you just cant use your subs... also, submitting squads, nice idea. when the new fixtures come out we will know how long the season lasts, so any players whose birthdays falls in the season and will turn 21 CANNOT take part - much like the real tourney, there is a Jan 1993 cut off.

Any 20 year old player whos birthday falls between now and 19th June (last league game of season) is NOT ELIGIBLE to play. this is to mirror the real life birthday registration rules.

Therefore i cannot play: MUSTAFI, Shkodran D(RC) 20 78 (17 April ) DABO, Bryan D,DM© 20 75 (18 February) AZEMI, Ilir F© 20 78 (21 February) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EdMoses 12,881 Report post Posted January 30, 2013 Re: 7777 NextGen Cup Thread Awesome. This birthday qualification thingy has thoroughly picked up my side by the collars, bent them over the table and. as the french might (not) say "F'artd" in their face. Thomson Flanagan Maguire Pauschek Appiah - OUT Miyaichi Shelvey - OUT Thomas Lopez Neymar - OUT Thy – OUT What a purchase Appiah was. Basically I’ve spent almost £4m him specifically for a competition he now can’t play in. The worst part is that I was gonna bid on KURZAWA who is arguably the better talent but I missed out on him cos Leicester sneaked in whilst the Appiah deal was completing – lovely! Looks like my lads are gonna take a beating in the ratings stakes now – Neymars 91 replaced by Saibou’s 70 as the main example. The team go from 80 to 75 and I have to spend more cash to find a forward to partner Saibou. Awesome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
