Lucky bugger. I'm facing off against a reasonably ranked div III team who has enough decent players to make me think i won't be able to take the game too lightly. Fortunately, his best players have crappy game shape and despite having salaries of over $50k, they've been putting up rankings of 8 and 9 playing in their normal positions. That will likely be their undoing as most of my team is well positioned with game shape.

This weeks games begin my favourite time of the regular season when teams begin crossing-over to the other side. Last year there was a debate as to which conference was the strongest - Big 8 or Great 8?

So who's the strongest this season. Will it be the Great 8 which has the form team of the league in the Dons steamrolling every team in it's path and SBV putting forward a strong showing yet again. Or is the Big 8 tops with a top 3 of SVM, GT and HSD all proving to be very tough teams.

These next couple of weeks will answer those questions, but who do you think is the strongest?

Don't be fooled the Dons aren't the team that will take out the season. My money is on HSD.

Got a pretty good chance of winning this week cup game though. I'll be able to run my full team too, so feeling good for it. Season games aren't a priority this week.

Season games aren't a priority this week.

Oh how i wish i was in a position to say this. However, for those in the cup it is getting to the stage where a decision needs to be made whether to prioritise the regular season or the cup. Thankfully i think my teams depth is enough to cover me in the cup without hurting my reg season competitiveness. I mean in my last game all my players had a ranking of over 10, so that's a great sign.

I just need to ensure my training needs are still met because i'm hoping for a couple of training pops this week.

How many others are in my position with balancing the training of youngsters with being competitive. I know there's a couple that have gone the tank route, but I'm talking more about trying for finals while training at the same time? It's a pain in the arse i reckon.

my kids will be ready to be trained AND to go for the finals in 1-2 seasons I believe. it's just a matter of timing: you need to get'em ready at the same time, more or less.

Well mango's you got me again. I should have reviewed my tactics before the game as i didn't intend on going TIE.

Oh well, at least it should set my team up nicely for the cup, with enthusiasm being higher.

Yep. When I train outside, my team plays a lot better.

I should win the cup again. Thinking I may have to blow the game shape a little, but it's worth it IMO.
