I just wanted to say hi to everybody. My team just demoted from League III. I feel like we were one piece away from being a contender, unfortunately it was a very important piece, and I was unable to remedy that so now here I am.

I sold one of my starters at the end of last season, and I have another up for sale right now. That will leave me with my monster center and a roster where everybody has a salary of less than 12k. It should make for an interesting season, and I'm not really sure what to expect.

Good luck!

Welcome! This league has a few pretty active teams itching for promotion. Most have added a new piece or two to their rosters recently so it should be interesting to see which teams emerge. Having one of the smallest payrolls in the league I don't expect to make the playoffs again this season. I somehow snuck into the playoffs last year and actually won the first round game before losing to the eventual champ. Looks like you replaced the champ in the Big 8.

I have only been managing my team for a season and a half now so I've basically been focused on upgrading my arena and slowly training my young players. I'm probably a season or two away from actually becoming a true and willing contender for promotion.

Looking at your roster, even after the sale of Sloan is complete, I believe you will have the highest payroll by 25k or so. In other words, I think you may just be the team to beat.

Good luck!

I think that this season will be very competitive throughout the league.

I agree dude...very competitive. I made a couple changes to give me more options. May start getting some younger talent but that will be tricky.

I don't understand the reasoning behind not playing enough players... By doing so, one is basically forfeiting valuable training minutes.

I was pretty disappointed when I found out that I didn't promote. I was under the understanding that both finals teams get promoted.

On another note, I disagree with getting a free 50 point differential for a forfeit.

Other than the champion, the only teams with a chance at promoting are the ones with the best records. So realistically you have to be undefeated or only have one loss if you want a chance at promotion.

hey guys, not part of this league but I was just passing through to see how Iowa's going

the not playing enough players and getting forfeits is strategic (most would call it cheating - including myself)

you get 120k automatically for a forfeit that's a home game. Yep, 120k.

Just putting that out there so you know.

good luck everyone.

kick some butt Iowa
