hmmmmm.......maybe I should. no,no,no..., does anyone ever play TIE on the first game of the season? Cause I wanna get as much enthusiasm points as I can, so I won't be like last season when a #1 lost to a #4 (ex. I beat atlanta panthers, a #1, and I have a feeling this season, since all the dominant teams promoted, I'll dominate)

Yes, It is pretty common for People to TIE their first game to get their enth high right away. Some CT to get in a sly win over someone they think will be their main threat later in the season. It really depends on your schedule, whether it is a rival, or perhaps a TV game. Looking at your conference, you have 4 really easy wins(consisting of bot teams or new managers) which you should be able to TIE and win. That leaves three games against people who have an established team. 2 of which are your first games. Your first game is definitely winnable, while your second your chances look rather slim (even if you TIE the first game and CT this game.) I recommend normalling the first game, and then TIEing and playing your scrubs in the second game in order to save your starters for the cup.

You must have plans for your team because I can't see how you can dominate with only one player over 10K. I am having trouble believing that your team made it to the championship game with its current salary, which probably means you know how to manage enthusiasm and gameshape and your fellow conference teams (whos strategy is to have one high salary monster) run their monster's game shape to the ground, so by the time playoffs come they are as good as (if not worse than) a 10K player. That coupled along with them not maintaining enth would have to be the explanation. Kudos.

Man, have to rewrite this (computer breakdown) Ok, basically, I got two 10k salary players before PO (wilfrid Ruiz and Jaap Oosthout) Then used them for the playoffs. Lost to iSmackNoobs. Then, stupid of myself, place em on the TL, thinking the dominant teams would be back. Then, hoping they would be back, no. Someone bided on them and now I'm now here I am looking for replacements on the TL. (have 112k salary) Lesson I learned; always wait after processing
