Please you have to list 3 nominees per category.

No wahala.

Joebie:
Lokosa played as a Super Eagle in a friendly. That alone qualifies him. We are here to make our nominations, you can only question players who do not meet the criteria.

With just 1 game? I see.

Joebie:
The award will only be open to those who are still homebased. If this were a serious award, Eze or his reps will not be coming to collect the award. It would seem out of place. So let’s name the category appropriately, or disqualify those who are now foreign based all together.

As long as they played for the SE as home based, they are qualified.

Lokosa qualifies to be nominated that’s the point. You are not to question my pick. I don’t have to convincce you y I picked him. That’s not the purpose of this thread.

As regards Eze he’s probably been a foreign based player for most part of the year 2018 (I may be wrong here) I’m not against his pick really. I’m just saying the way the category is worded is quite misleading.

I’m just now seeing this. Ok good

Icon4s:
Setting Criteria for players Selection.

We do not have the complete Data base of the statistics of the individual players, so we don't need to make the criteria too scientific. These are going to be simple and justifiable criteria.

I will suggest below:
1. All award categories should be for players who have featured for any of the national teams (IE, Super Eagles, CHAN Eagles, Flying Eagles, Golden Eaglets, Super Falcons, Falconets and Flamingos)
2. Rating of players should be based on national team performances only.
3. Young Player of the Year is strictly for players 21years and below.
4. For The Best Attacker award I suggest points should be generated as thus: Goal-2 points, assist-1 point.
5. Selection of 3 players for the other sections of the team( ie Best Goalkeeper, Best Defender, Best Midfielder) can be subjective but also objective.

We can add more or remove any from the list above

Thanks.

But for Items 8 & 9 u need to make the nominees 3.
For your item 11 Nigeria vs Cameroon game was played in 2017. It doesn't qualify for nomination. We are only nominating 2018 goals.

Finally is Ndidi qualified for young players award? Yes he is 21 but will be 22 by December, which is the period of the voting and anouncement. Please Ndidi is not qualfied. Maybe we shouuld have specified "for players born in 1997 and younger".

Samuel Chukwueze played only one game and is already getting nominations.

One game is enough to qualify a player. Junior Lokosa is qualified for a nomination.

What did they do within 45min they played that they deserved to be nominated?

Eze qualifies to be nominated because he played for Chan this year. Good luck to your Lokosa pick anyway.

forgiveness:

The rule is "....if a player features in the GWG". The number of minutes played is not specified. As there is no robust statistical data-base to scientifically rate these players we are going to be relying on your subjective but also objective judgements which some monikers believe you posses and so they nominated you as part of the committee.

Nothing wrong with nominating Lokosa and Chukwueze.

We are still awaiting your full list.

Yes Eze played in the CHAN but he is no longer a home based player. Joebie actually pointed this out and I had to agree with him. The award is for players who are still home based.

We don't need to change rules in the middle of nominate.

The rules says 'to be qualified, you must play for any other these.......Chan SE, etcetera. Why put another exception after that has been agreed?

Was it specified in the same rule that a player is not qualified because of where he plays?

Club must not decide a player's fate. That was the rule.

Which "another exception"? Oga, you are the one trying to bring another exception here.

The rule says "a player must play for any of the national teams". So why are you bringing in an issue of "only 45mins here"?

Icon4s:

If it is the Eze's case the award is for home based players. You cannot give a player who now plays in Europe a "Home based player award". That is the point here.

Talking about Club not deciding a player's fate we are taking about not nominating players based on club performances. It seems you need to go back and read those rules again.

If Eze played as home based in 2018, why are we worried he is now abroad?

Has that nolified his performance for Chan as a home based player?

Apparently you were not getting me. To avoid this kind of confusion is the reason why I suggest some modification of the way the category is worded. I’m not against Eze. I suggest we rename it Best Player as a Home Based player

Modified
And I would even modify my nominations. No be fight.

As long he played for home based Eagles in a competitive match, he is qualified to be nominated because home based Eagles performance can be rated based on that competition.

Will come back later in the evening to complete my nominations.

He would have been 22 by the time we would be announcing the awards.

We cannot say ".....award for young player of the year (21 yrs and below) and be naming a 22 years old player.

Icon4s:


The award is for players who are currently home based.

That clause was not stipulated in the rules. There must be vote even if I am the only one against this.

I will not move forward until this is resolved.
