Damn, it's going to be a close one. Im really not happy with my teams performance so far so i'm hoping they'll raise thier game for this one! That big playoff-only mexican is really a nightmare to deal with, why didnt i think of that!
Good luck to petersburg, and may the best team win. Oh, and the reason you get worse players is becasue you're getting better, and so are the other managers around you! But good luck this year! :)
