I'm not discounting you Sundae, I never really know what you're up to - and as for having to sell your SF, well now you have a treasure chest full of cash, it's all in how you use it :D
I'm going to be running the same team as last season minus my 130k PG Lauri that I bought for playoffs, having just sold him to make sure I'm back in healthy profit per week territory. So given that, my regular season record should be similar, barring improvement from the other teams of course - I'd say I'll be aiming for 16+ wins, and see how I go from there.
Micky would look to be favourite on the blue side - no offence to the new teams to the league (welcome!), but it's historically always a battle when you make the step up a division, so I doubt any of them would seriously challenge. Please feel free to prove me wrong :)
Oh, and as for salary jump? Not expecting much :) Buzzer-manager is predicting my biggest jump would be about 10k or so on Phillips. Will wait and see once new salaries are calculated.
Can't wait for Season 29! Bring it on!
