Season 26

daheff · 20-08-2015 9:38am #1

Ok...so Season 26 is upon us. Let it be remembered as the last season before the site revamp.

what are your goals for this season?

Mine
FRF- Hope to have a good long cup run and aim to get to the league playoff final.

Have a couple of new players I'm training. Hope to get them up to speed this season.

Alling Allstars (affiliate): Hope to finish 3rd again this season (After punching well above my weight last season to finish 3rd). Will be tough as there are a couple of new tougher teams this season. A cup run would be icing on the cake.

Have 3 trainees for U20s that I hope are good enough for first team action this year.

hoping not toget hammered every week in my first visit to div 2

westman1 · 22-08-2015 6:51pm

gob smacked beat moonshine bulls :eek: first 2nd div win:D:D:D:D:D

ganmo · 23-08-2015 11:58am

had a good win yday against a team 30k csr better than mine

eoferrall · 24-08-2015 5:08pm

forgot about the season start, got a win in first game though against a play of qualifier last season. so not to worry so far!:D

I think I am trying to avoid financial collapse this season. It's the first time I've ever stayed up in Div 3 (beginning of my fifth season), though I've kind of got a bit demoralized by the realization that the game is very money limited and I am very far behind the top 4 teams in my division in budget (which is growing very slowly).

Hoping to promote my first academy player (by which I mean, a player I spent a decent amount of stars on) in the next week or two, thinking he'll be a high enough CSR to be useful in full team games.

You are money limited alright,but one mistake a lot of ppl make is having a massive squad. Each decent player will cost you at least $10k per week in salary, which adds up. 2 players extra is a luxury that could cost almost $500k a season! Not sure if this applies to you, but thought I'd mention it.

The other thing you should do as best you can, is have a young squad. Even if they are not getting individual training, the team training and IGT will add up, and hopefully by the time they are 25/26-ish, you will be in a position to challenge the top of Div 3, without having gone out and buy in all the players. A lot of young players will be good enough to tread water in Div 3, but eventually should start to burst the surface!

Regarding MWSAG, got hammered by FRF at the weekend. Goal for the season is keep going. :-)

ah in fairness it was LTNT vs Normal.

I'm more worried about Polk High...they've rebuilt and Johnnysmack is master tactician. And then theres the Dannys....joker if ever I seen one. bogwarriors too...seem to be my bogey team.

Anybody seen /heard from fewi? He still around?

Thanks, I think that's a compliment.

My targets are,
Newcastle West
Get promoted to div.1, if this doesn't happen sell up and build from scratch again. May even farm for awhile due to not having much time to run two teams.
The Danny's
It's easy what my targets here, top 4 and hopefully without haven't to tnt my last game to do it. Cup wnwnm as far as I can go
My farm team.
Having a hard time remember ing it's name so that goes to show how much time I put into them. Farm away

Had a bad week...forgot to set my cupteam midweek....messed up tactics this weekend(& prob had RNG went against me I reckon

) & lost to team whose manager hasnt logged in for 2 wks

At least my team pulled back a 27 pt ht defict to score 4 tries & get a losing bonus point.....so almost like having a draw!

westman1 · 05-09-2015 9:28pm

lost again but only by 4 points wish i'd gone ltwnt

crisco10 · 07-09-2015 9:45am

Crazy league game this weekend. Lost to Polk High 47-48 with last minute try and conversion against me...Had checked score around 55 mins in ad was 20-35 down or something. No idea what happened in the middle!

seanand · 16-09-2015 8:33pm

top of the league, undefeated and looking down at ye peasants :P

l3m0n5 · 16-09-2015 11:40pm

Came back from 32 -3 down at half time to win by 36 - 35 with the last kick of the game in the cup tonight. Nuts!

westman1 · 19-09-2015 6:58pm

Ha I knew it wouldn't last I could of gone for it and won but I would of then lost to a bottom 4 side and go back to the pack and maybe not finish top 4 which is still my priority.

Ya battai have underperformed for awhile now but still a hard team to beat

Its an interesting season... not sure who is going to win the league...any one of quite a few could take the top spot. Wouldnt be writing off anybody...on their day anybody could turn another team over.

As for Battai...just glad they arent in our league!!

I just want top 4 again this season don't think if what it takes yet to challenge for 1st unless I can secure it early enough. Next season when my current u20s are finished and my lock is coming close to being trained as well

Ya I had in my league he did nothing all season then nuked us in the playoffs we didn't stand a chance

daheff · 24-09-2015 11:21am

at least my default team is near my first team...woulda preferred playing wnwim though

seanand · 08-10-2015 8:23pm

going to give it a go. Only just above the autopromote line...so need to win all my games to the end of the season....otherwise its playoffs (assuming I win our league....big assumption as theres a few teams there that could cause a surprise if they try!).

I didnt look at the individual stats for that game, but thats pretty atrocious for one player!! :eek:

Semi finals ended up being a gimme..my ltnt vs his wnwim. Shame, thought I thought Polk High were going to try have a go.

So roll on the final tomorrow with The Dannys

3/4th place is MWSG vs Polk High.

Interesting games all round! Either side in both games can win on a given day. Good luck all

At 5.33pm I thought, are the semi finals on today? Logged on to set it to LTNT but alas I was not quick enough so went out with a whimper on WNWIM.

I only started paying any bit of attention to the game around round 10. Logged on to see both Polk high and my affiliate looking like relegation candidates but got them both to safety in the end. Affiliate will have play off next week. Must not forget!
