New Season

johnnysmack

the new leagues are up and suddenly ive got a tricky little division. 2 good teams promoted and very good team relegated from div 2. Crap, i was hoping for an easy run this season. welcome to div 3 yermen.

I got promoted to Division III. Everyteam has a far superior CSR. I think I'm gonna focus on a cup run and improving my players and squad

The s8 changes will also have an impact You might surprise yourself. I got a BOT drop from divII to my div III league and two weaker teams got promoted from div 4.

You have got to be frickin' kidding me...

There's only one human player in my league and he's just gotten out of Division V. BAH! Hello boredom my old friend, I see your days aren't at an end...

Well im still in the same division, a few clubs have managers now so it should provided a good test this season as I look to win the league.


Got a Div IV bot for the cup, but I should be able to take him, using normal intensity.

So in the next week I foresee a loss on Monday, a win on Wednesday and then Saturday, followed by the opening round of the Boards cup...

Well im still in shock at my stupidity in getting relegated. I just presumed cause i finished 5th that i was safe. Fup it anyway.

So anyway back to division 4 and utter, utter boredom!! I have 4 bots in all.

Gonna be a breeze but thats not what i want. I want it to be like last season where i struggled but still took a few big scalps. It was more interesting that way. Sob sob....cue music

I'm apparently in Div III.1. FFS. I'm going to be slaughtered. Repeatedly.

If I'm correct, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but you should always be able to beat a bot with WNWIM.

Actually i'd challenge anyone to lose to a bot. Don't think it can be done.

The dizzy heights of div IV.5

Im ****ed financially after a couple of stupid decisions post promotion, so I may find out how much they enforce bankruptcy rules before getting to play a league game

i think i managed that last season in the cup - lost to a divIII bot!

My new div doesnt look as tough as i thought it might be....all teams (bar 1) have comparable CSRs for players....so might manage to take a few scalps (with a LTNT here and there to keep me winning!)

should (hopefully) stay up this year (unless i've just jinxed it!):eek:

I think they give you two weeks to get back in order. Reduce the YA to 5K and put one or two players up for sale even just to get you back within your overdraft limits. Revenue from the cup is split 50/50 regardless if your at home or playing away you should get some revenue from wednesday nights cup match.

It will take a very brave manager to decide to TNT this season (apart from palyoff games) the changes to recovery and linking injuries to energy levels could mean one TNT costing your season! I know myself f I won't use it at all after spending most of last season with 5 key players injured at a time due to the injury system targeting attacking teams.

I put a couple of players up for sale for 10k [hoping to cash in on the early season transfer madness, where everyone has loads of cash]. One of my better young players and older player with a good CSR but crappy actual stats [bar kicking].

Just recieved a redicilous first bid of over 50k for the old player! Between that and the cup game tonight I should be ok.

Hurray for muppets with more money than sense
