Oh boy. I get The Hounds in the cup. Also in a league I am facing beanerz (he has a bot in the cup) and Green Machines (has a league III team). Couldnt be much worse

You don't have much to worry about with me. My team is a bit of a mess with poor GS and players constantly needing to be played out of position.

Just try not to kill my trainees.

I will do my best not to. Porblem is that I am just 8 deep and total of 720 minutes needs to be accomodated over this week. No matter how I put it together somebody will play more than they are supposed to :/

You could always just tank our game? Or I could just CT to make sure I win and that your guys don't play too muck :)

lol

I am considering tanking. Dont want the repeat of last season when I lost a cup after OT because of trying to win all 3 games in a week. Everything would be much easier if I didnt have LPP and tough BBB game in the following week :D

And if I didnt go on holidays forcing me to set tactics for all 5 games this week today :D

I apologize for the delay in getting to the Week 5 matchups - but it has been one of those weeks that mercilessly pulls you back into real life - Yes, I had one of those " I am stuck entertaining (and paying for lunch, dinner, and everything else) the dreaded brother-in-law from out of town week-end"

For this coming week we have the first Div I matchup of the season and therefore leads the list of games to watch:

19 I Herman Griffins vs Superfreakys I 5

This should be interesting as to who comes out ahead

Other games that have top 100 ranked teams playing each other are:

1 I Pszczyna Team vs The Hounds II 18
9 I Quebec Pugs vs Toronto Ally Oops II 24
50 II Carleton Huskies vs Saskatoon Storm I 28
61 II Rouge et Or vs Calgary Spitfires II 49
32 II DR34M Hakeem vs Rasta Raptors II 62
82 II Black tigers vs Southgate Gators III 92
97 III Frynoodle vs The Dream Shakers I 26


One game pitting evenly matched teams are these two adversaries:

110 III The Black Guys vs grizzlybears III 109

In the "Sucks to be him" category of games we find:

224 III Izzyballers vs Green Machines I 6

Followed closely by these two games:

2 I Lawrence Park Panthers vs jk704 III 165
12 I sg united vs Metro International BC III 180

Good luck to all in this coming week

Round 6 begins this coming week - now the games really start to become interesting. This round will leave in its wake broken hearts, dashed hopes, and the start a many drinking binges to help ease the agony of defeat.

Among the premium games this coming week are featured the following teams: (Note: there will be no direct Div I matchups this week, but strong teams will face off against each other)

My favorite matchup pits

23 II Ruffian vs Beanz Odyssey I 3

Followed closely by these two teams

35 II Perfervid Iron-Mills vs Lawrence Park Panthers I 2

In the "Sucks to be him" category of games - we find the following titanic matchups

225 III Amish Rodeo Clowns vs Pszczyna Team I 1 (At home no less)

And I am throwing this in because it also brings tears to my eyes (Or is it the allergies):

13 II Toronto Knockouts vs TheXmens III 241

Good luck to all this coming week

This week starts separating the wannabees from the heavy hangers - no more fooling around this is it. A few lucky teams got the last of the bot teams but the rest will have to decide whether to tank league games or cup games especially since the winner of the next match will play again on Thursday. This is the week guys/gals it's time to go home or lay it on the line.

As expected there are a few games that will produce some drama:
Foremost is yours truly going up against the Headless Thomson Gunners in a Div I matchup - Didn't expect to play a Div I rival so soon, but I don't pick them, so I gotta play him??!!

17 I East-End Screaming Goombas B.C. vs Headless Thompson Gunners I 29

Other interesting matchups are the following Div II rivals:

23 II Toronto Ravens vs Laval Giants II 6 (Might even be better than the game I'm involved in!!)

These two games matches inter-divisional teams from Div I & II going against each other and should prove interesting: No give-me games here

15 II Canuckleheads vs Saskatoon Storm I 32
33 II Squalor Super Sonics vs Pszczyna Team I 1

Other top 100 opponents going against each other are as follows:

54 II Sock Bears vs Auto-Pilot Inc. II 37
14 II Toronto Knockouts vs Webfoots II 36
53 II Montreal Strippers vs Quebec Pugs I 9
87 III The Lynx vs Jugglers II 24
5 I Superfreakys vs Squares II 50
98 III Toronto Råptors vs DR34M Hakeem II 31
11 II keswick Killers vs The Big Green III 78
97 III CARTOON HEROS vs Syndicalists' BC I 10
85 III BasketballIQ vs Big ballerz II 16
4 I the ragin stajans vs Rouge et Or II 61
2 I Lawrence Park Panthers vs Bright Shadow III 66
96 III Debussys Darts vs Quebec Gators II 58

Although there are no clear cut "Sucks to be him" game this week - I guess the following is as close as it gets

3 I Beanz Odyssey vs Frynoodle III 95 (Your name says it all - Try Deepfried Noodle)

As usual - good luck to all and kick butt!! (especially to Frynoodle - if he wins I'm going out and buying a lottery ticket)

Well, game at home and not against Naismith team..... could be worse but I think I would enjoy the game with reamining bot a bit more :/

Anyway, not making the same mistake last season though. Going to properly tank a league game and throw all the best players in the cup

I am sure Super Sonics would rather play a bot than you - I guess it sucks to be him this week. At this point anyone who plays a top 10 team is not very happy. :`-(

True on all points. But at this stage most of the teams can still pull it off with CT (including you, and possibly Super Sonics (lets hope not))
