Thanks for the tips. I know I have to pick the games that I think I can win. Having the 3rd lowest starting 5 salaries and the 4th lowest top 8 doesn't bode well for winning many games. The salaries of the top 5 players on each team in our league average over $200k ($40k/player)! I don't think my balance and depth will make any difference when my starters are getting crushed by the top half of the league. My 2nd 5 are the best in the league but they are no match for most of the starters in the league. With this roster, I figure I have 6-8 wins which puts me in the regulation series. I don't want to be there at the end of the season. I'm shooting for #5 with some profits to put into adding seats and some good progress with trainees.
Good luck! The fun begins on Saturday. Do you think you have a chance against DC?
If you had asked me this time last season, I would have said no chance. But I was able to beat him at home in our second game last season, so while I of course expect it to be a challenge, I know that I definitely have a chance at it.
