The best thing about the cup is the chance for an extra TIE during the week. Very beneficial when it games to enthusiasm management. Also the main reason why the cup draw shouldn't be random, but that's another discussion for another day...

Kinda hard to read how my season is going so far, lost away to CL but still had ok-ish ratings for the first game of the season, then followed that up with two consecutive one point wins (plus a cup win vs a bot, where I had a player injured after 3 mins, with no sub set). Probably a bit lucky to be 2-1 at the moment, but I'll definitely take those wins knowing how hard this season will be.

yer i think im in similar boat to you ranga's, being new to Div II its very hard to gauge how im travelling at the moment. 2-1 though, better than expected!
but very topsy turvey with my roster. one game im thinking that i need to get rid of player X, next game he shines and totally goes off. So thats been tough to analyse.
i think the funny thing is, is that everyone is still very tentative and are unsure about where they fit into the league. people are still managing their gameshape/enthusiasm in line with their cup progress and that is making it a very intruiging league to be in!

Hi all

you newbies are doing well - certainly no easybeats! This is a very even league and I will be fighting for survival.

won't hvae much time to post this season, but good luck everyone.

I spent last year doing a large stadium upgrade which was well overdue. pity it came at the expense of team depth. Oh well. hope lady luck plays me a good hand or it's back to div III.

I agree that it's hard to know who is up to what at this early stage. One thing I will say is that I will be having a massive crack to get my PF Masetti onto the allstar roster and up in the top 3 of the MVP voting. It's about time he did something!

As for the newbies - shoot for 10-12 wins, it and you should be safe. 'Should' being the operative word.

Well I wasn't really expecting to win, let alone by so much.
Happy days.

yeah, strange game. I didn't think I would win, but i'll take it.home court may have made the difference.

it's a pity your new SG didn't join your team in time. nice purchase!

yes it was a very funny week for games for me.

Tatically, i was trying to be a bit too sneaky and it blew up in my face a bit me thinks.

and yey on my purchase, been trying since the start of the season now to buy a sutiable SG and finally managed to get one well below the price of other ones id been bidding for. I dotn think he would have made a difference in our game though.

Whoo hoo! My PG will be back on the 15th/March (just in time for Geelong Vipers)... *sigh*

Anyone know if injured players are unable to play in PL games? I notice you are able to select them in your team for the PL games but I've not been in this position before. Last week I sat my two injured players as I figured that couldn't play. Now i'm thinking that might not be the case?

They can't play. Remember three seasons ago when 4/5 of my starters were injured at one time or another? Was a very bad PL season for me!

Bastard!

Surely he will need to play reserve minutes to ease his way back in? ;)

are u able to select them? Thats interesting, i thought they came up in red in the player select panel, just like in normal games.
Sounds like a suggestion forum post to me!
