Where are the fifa boys @bharat_SS
Retired
Yeh kya poochh liya bhai ...
Our FIFA journey ended with the last iteration of FIFA i.e. FIFA23. I thoroughly enjoyed every season of FIFA since joining the IVG, 14 years. Danny bhai @TheDribbler used to host tourneys back then. There were a couple of seasons when we had more than 50 different FIFA players in our IVG tourneys. I still have data of all FIFA tourneys [from 2010-present] and I might calculate and make an all-time table, would be interesting to to see the number of games we have played
We had a lot of active FIFA players between FIFA10 - FIFA13. Most guys were still teenagers so they had plenty of time for gaming. And, then once they started working, their gaming activity was cut down drastically. Numbers started to go down after FIFA13, I was also not around for a 2-3 years after the birth of my son, not that I was breastfeeding him
but still it was hard to find time and energy for gaming. Once he grew up and I came back, I found very few active players. And, the IVG had seen a decline in general as well. I tried my best to keep the scene active to bring people back to IVG the way I could. Nothing can survive for long without reproducing and the FIFA community didn't produce enough new players. I must say that the login issues didn't help either.
I started organising those prediction contests and the FPL just to give people another reason to come back (or stick) to the IVG. It's just my way of contributing towards helping the IVG grow (or sustain
). The contests/tourneys I organise here, making & updating tables, they take a lot of time, but I am happy to do it if it can help bringing even 2 people back to the IVG. I don't know many people on the IVG outside of the FIFA circle, but I love this place. I actually thought it was gone for good when it was down for 3 months. I hope it keeps floating...
Here's a table from FIFA12
There are some people I don't remember at all and then there are some I can never forget. No. 16 is our dear friend Rahul [laughordie] @RahulOfWar
There are some more names I found in other tables... @Stevie G @Sanwal@rad2689@Cash @Sudhir
@boltonfan Dharmin [forgot his IVG name] @MadridistaLove@KeanoAakarsh Dalmia, Sparsh Dalmia
@india-skro@arjun_sasukeNavdeep [born to rule???] @Rosh@zeeman11@rockstarnetDanny bhai @Man In The Box@VanillaDuo@SchneideR@VelivolusDas Sunny dude ka IVG name bhool gya
@hope @Parvinder SinghAjay [elvj???] @SarwaanM@ash_ @Angad. Angy?? @Nemo Obaid bhai,
@zophar Rakesh [Dark Knight or something???] @dabba I can see @TAZ's name as well [I remember his name from Cricket World Cup] but I don't remember him participating in FIFA tourneys

Thanks for organising
I can’t imagine how much work goes into this.
Everyone enjoyed and played actively, so no complaints about workload

The last incorrect match result hurt the most and still not able to recover.
@bharat_SS great work on conducting this and updating tables almost instantly!! It was super fun to play this.
Everyone want to see their updated rankings after completion of a Matchday. So, I tried to update tables as soon as I could
On 11/23/2023 at 2:01 AM, Big Boss said:Amazing work @bharat_SSfor organising yet another awesome contest.
I didn't think I will win this one too after missing a few predictions but
.
I mostly win whenever there is no money involved
You won both football and cricket world cup contests, you must be cheating

Not entirely on-topic post:
India's bowling unit has been playing very well so far in this world cup and I hope the trend continues in the next couple of games as well. I was chatting with my cousins in a WhatsApp group. I asked the question "Which team in their opinion has been the best performing in a CWC ever?". Most people mentioned teams like AUS2007, AUS2003 and PAK1999. And, I was just wondering if it (IND2023) can be compared with one of the best performing bowling lineups in the entire history of the world cup. So, I collected some stats and made a table of the best performing bowling units in a CWC (up to CWC2019). While I had made the tables for them, I thought I might as well share them here also because you've all been playing prediction game very actively. And, I am very grateful for that.
Since there are potentially 2 more matches left to play for IND2023 (and some people might complain I will jinx them), so I have not included this group or any other team from the current WC.
The work I am gonna post below just considers the numbers (it has got nothing to do with the success of that team), I have not ranked these bowling units in overall terms. I will leave it to the readers to decide what criteria they wanna use while picking a team which they think performed the best. I am also aware of the fact that winning the trophy is what matters most in a WC. However, I just wanted to see the numbers. The teams which may come out on top in this work are not necessarily the greatest bowling lineups because some of them may not have won the trophy.
Okay, the introduction is over now. Next hurdle I faced was how to compare teams from different eras. Since cricket is a sport that has evolved with time. For example, run-scoring rate has seen dramatic rise if we compare CWC1975 (3.67 RPO) and CWC2019 (5.49 RPO). It would be stupid and pointless to compare stats directly from these 2 WCs. So, I believe the best way to analyse would be to compare a team's performance with its contemporaries and not with the teams from other eras. Like, West Indies 1975 team's performance should be compared with what was happening in the same year's WC i.e. WC1975. To achieve that, I extracted the average values (of some of the most important aspects of bowling numbers in cricket) from each CWC.IMO, these aspects are:
1. Bowling Average = Number of runs conceded per wicket
2. Economy / Run Rate = Number of runs conceded per over
3. Bowling Strike Rate = Number of balls bowled per wicket
4. W/M = Number of wickets taken in a matchEligibility:
