Agree, that was exactly what I did last season. Mid-season I looked at the Dons, said I can't beat them, sold all my non-core players and built my stadium and saved.

By the way I got a very similar player. Better JS, JR and OD but worse PA, HA and DR so really quite close. But I really like his defence, will give me someone who can actually match up with the dominant guards for the Beasts and Rangas. I previously was stuck around sensational OD so this feels much better.

38k a week here, so not as much money as I would like but still a profit none the less. I am not scared of any guys in this league....when I am at home!! On the road it becomes a different ball game, I mean come on HCA is the death of all of us.

Nice buy guys, certainly making your small guys stronger but lets hope my training regiment can keep Neil, Jacek and Kerry above the pack..

5 games remaining and I have no idea what the order is going to be!!!

Worst case scenario is bainsy somehow gets first. If that happens MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON US ALL

i am sure neil is better than the guy i just bought, but what i just bought helps us out in multiple ways... Also, with only 10 players i was a man or 2 down in rotation, so this eases that burden.

to me the top 3 is sorted.. bainsy got off to a horrible start to the campaign dropping games he should have won, and despite valiant attempts, he has never recovered..

i am still training my bigs, atoy is starting to make a solid contribution and the other 2 are coming along nicely..

funny tho hippos, we both get to try our new guys out against each other lolz :D

glad ur happy with ur guy, but scoring wasnt what i wanted from this kid, scoring is what chan is for...

haha no chance in hell neeber. i still make 70k so i dont know who is dragging us down if i have the most expensive roster and near the average.

ahhh so you boys purchase guards. just the spot where i am weakest. sucks to be me

lol well, i am training bigs, not gonna go out and buy 1 of those :P

You boys are right, I will have to watch my salary cap when/if I drop down. I'm feeling pretty good now though after wiping the floor with one of the competitors for relegation. He's now the sure team to relegate, and I'm still sitting on 6th 2 games in front of 7th.

The big game will be in two weeks when I play 7th, a team that has been weak all season, and is only now showing the signs of strength he really should have been.

I feel confident now I have the tools to challenge any team I face in relegation finals.

I am worried that if I drop down, I will have to sell someone.

Thankfully I spent 1million on my stadium this season, and I will be lowering prices to fill this bad boy when/if I demote.

I will try and make it back in one season no doubt scrimping cash the entire way.

And BTW playing in div II hasn't made me smarter, I am perhaps more aware of teh level of competition though. I had it pretty easy in div III, always making finals, and always feeling like I was the team that SHOULD promote (curse those dodgy div II drop-downs), now however I realise that I will have to do a lot more to ensure I can compete regularly with div II teams, and plan really long term to get higher.

Serious, teams in div II wipe the floor with me...it has given me a whole new perspective!

Don't think he was getting at you Bains.. I am one, I had to reduce my staff from all lvl 5s to get myself some profit really, most this season I have been earning less than 50k a week, been killing me as I want to build on the stadium but I knew I had/have to keep money in the bank as I want, hell I plan on promoting this season. Figure I will smash my stadium as donny did when landing in div II.. Worst case, I don't get through and have to change tactics next season, but I think if I can maintain HCA I can get past any competitor, on the other hand if I don't PD and wins I could have some issues. I do appreciate the confidence from dons and hippos but I don't believe that I have a clear advantage, the beasts are a great match up for my team and are most likely to be the front runner from the blue side, though do the hippos still have some tricks to play??

Rangas/Skyhooks +150-200K a week

not quite.. 120k+ is where i'm at right now.

interesting purchases by hippos/dreamers.
makes the next few games even more interesting for me.

most interesting will be saturday nights Beasts vs Bains!
i could stand to gain from the result of this match!

nothing personal Neebs, but i'm routing for Bains!! :)

lol your a hopeful man ranga.

bring some fans to the game. hell lets sell out my arena

None taken mate, if I was in your position I would want me to lose as well!!! Really it is the most tense I have been since I came runner up to possum chasers in div 4, that PO series was intense!!
