Re: English FA planning tougher home-grown rules

by Kick Sat Mar 28, 2015 12:01 pm

I doubt it. Less homegrown players suits Mourinho.

I imagine most EPL managers will agree with Arsene. TBH.

Anyone who doesn't want the Prem's quality to drop will agree with him.

Won't make a difference. The coaches are terrible at all levels.

“I believe that we are in the world of competition. Competition means who of you or me is the best one. We have to accept that.

“That means as well that the rules of the game must be structured to favour the best. Or we are not in a competition anymore.

“So we can say one of two things – we protect the mediocre or we produce the best players.

“I personally would support hugely to pay super people who think about how we can produce players from five years old to 20 years old to be as good as they can be rather than protect them through wrong mediocre rules.

“I give you two examples. In Yugoslavia in the past they decided you had to play three players on the team sheet who were under 21. What happened? They became professional subs. It happened in France, too.

“Then they decided you had to play three players under-21 from the start. You know what happened? They subbed all three after five minutes.

“If we want to sell the Premier League for a huge amount of money then we need to say: ‘buy this, this is the best in the world.’ You cannot go against the quality and what is at the heart of our job which is competition.

“The best must be the best. That’s why I will fight against it. I have very little power but I don’t think the idea is right.”

When I was a kid playing Pokemon on Gameboy, it was a strategy to make a low level Pokemon the default first choice for battles, with my first move being replacing it with a high level one. => XP was split evenly when the battle was won, thereby making the low level creature gain tons of XP without being knocked out.

Clearly, the Yugoslav FA thought the same applies to football Proud

It's so badass that there are dedicated centers for it:

Scrubs don't know about my Exp Share/Lucky Egg. Cool

by BarrileteCosmico Sat Mar 28, 2015 9:34 pm

Exp Share shared XP evenly across all 6 pokemon in your party in Yellow, pls RO. It was much more effective to switch out and only share between 2.

EDIT: You're referencing the "Exp. ALL" while I was talking about the "Exp. Share" and "Lucky Egg." Different items with different actual effects. Exp. All was the predecessor to Exp. Share but not the same.

Idk why I thought srigooner's post referenced yellow. Nevermind Embarassed

by beatrixasdfghjk. Sun Mar 29, 2015 4:37 am

Well they are less popular than they were before, but pretty sure it's not uncommon for a kid to play Pokemon, there are over 13 million sales of XY. Although a lot of them are probably older people (like me).

Time to return to the topic, lads.

Return is such a useless move, though.

What are you talking about, 102BP is great on something like M-Kanga that gets STAB, or Aerilate/Pixilate which gives 30% power boost.

Well, switching is more old school.

And then they started handing players the XP share from the beginning of the game, so entire parties would spilt xp without having to swap. Rewarding mediocre trainers with undeserved XP to Pokemon they don't even use. The FA and Nintendo think alike these days it seems

I'm ashamed to admit that I perfectly understood this post.

Nah, just joking. I stopped caring about what people thought about my hobbies when I left High School, so I picked up the series again. I'm not afraid to admit that I still play Pokemon games on a regular basis. Look at the gif in my sig ffs Molenation
