My Cup opponent Grey Barons is from my old DIII stomping grounds.

This might be old news to you guys but I am quickly finding out depth is much more important in DII than the lower divisions. Battling in a league this competitive plus the Cup is tough on game minutes.

Yeah, when your three matches are against your rival, televised, and against an NBBA team, it becomes difficult to decide who sits in which game(s)!

no joke about it being tough to manage minutes. I am currently running my guys into the ground. An option is to train Game Shape, though I am not sure how strategic that is with training young players.

I hear that. I'm running all my starters into the ground. Luckily I was able to keep my minutes a little bit more manageable this past week and have decent GS and an easy cup draw this round.
My guess is as good as anybody at this point as to who will and wont make the playoffs/relegation.
I hope I either make the playoffs or relegation, I think I might kill myself If I land in 5th again..

Thursday is going to be interesting for me. nth will be without 3 of 5 starters (80+ minutes this week), and will be suiting up either 5 or 6 players, depending if his $3K salary rookie gets some burn. What I'm wondering now is how much HCA will factor in.

Managing minutes in DIII was a whole lot easier!

I'm a bit frustrated with myself. Should've gone low post to have a chance. At least now I can set my lineups fairly mindlessly from here on out...

Played things a bit too close to the chest... better league results from the McMornings now. (hopefully)

Tough luck, NTH is just a good team overall.
Too hard to really beat unless you have good def.
My luck is i'll draw a very tough opponent who'll knock me out next round.

Eh, a combination of LP and Mennitto not getting injured 5 minutes in could have turned things around. However, the latter was countered by one of *his* starters getting injured at about the same time.

NTH went with a deeper bench than I was expecting and went normal instead of TIE. Nothing I could do about either of those.

Ha, just got CTed by a D3 team. Just that kind of year. I hope they're happy that they destroyed their chances to win their league.
