Given that I keep looking at our last thread from season 55 I figured it might be nice to post something a little more recent. That thread was started by Yubi Yubi who is still around!

I was hoping to get promoted this season but have to admit it's difficult with the strong teams coming down and that stick around. Let's see how next week goes but otherwise I'll try again next year.

Here are this years end of season stats. It's nice to see many of the good teams represented here in the different categories:

Yep, still around though I'm liking my chances of moving up this time despite making a hot mess of the regular season. I did a late moderate buy up, and then dodged a bullet against Krepe Jurki before the game shape training kicked in. I'm not expecting any gifts from Katyushas though as there are 31 undefeated teams in D4 vs their 21-1, and only 16 extra promotions available.

Good luck in the final. I messed up due to a weekend away and played my default lineup. Really my own fault for losing the game.

Well, this is it. I finally leave IV.55 after 9 full seasons. Utopia is tough, and I took being able to advance quickly for granted based on my runs in Australia. I didn't know exactly how good a team I was going to need just to get out of IV, and that resulted in me making runs with teams I probably should've just sold off and bottomed out with.

This season was the first time I proactively chased promotion even if it put me in some financial difficulty afterwards, as I realized I was going to have to spend money in order to make money in Division III. Otherwise these past few seasons would've been completely wasted as I was reaching the tipping point of what a sustainable roster in IV is.

Congratulations Jay. You did well in beating the team that I expected to be the favourite at the start of the season.

I recognize what you're saying having done very well with my main team I expected to at least go to III reasonably fast but indeed it takes a long time to build and it's hard when you start later. I'm getting to that point now where I really want to get the promotion to also keep my trainee salary sustainable.
