+1, PIC and CA if you can or normal and focus everything on midfield. If you mots and lose, it is going to hurt.

Well I played my last match and won to get the championship for my series for the 3rd season running. I have a Q-Match that is not impossible but highly improbable that I will win. Even if I do it seems the series I would be joining is 4 of 256 so would be a tough go. I will give it my all and see what comes.

I motsed and won 3-0. I needed that the guy in 6th place loosing by more than 3 goals to avoid direct relegation. He went up to tie his game.
So back in div 4.

I PIC'd and lost 5-0. Didn't expect to lose that badly but didn't affect my league standing and it should mean my boys are up for the qualifier.

My series is quite tough in top tier as well. I lost to a 2nd place team in the last match to finish 3rd and he fielded 300+ stars. With this squad he belongs to Div3 in the USA. I'm not sure I understand what he is doing being number 2 in Div5. I hope the guy who won the league will get promoted to Div4 so there is some breathing room next season.

I lost the last game as expected and LA relegated to VII. Simply stated: shameful. We sold two young defenders because they were asking a lot of salary and they are only getting worth less with no training. I will buy back two or three older players (cheaper!) to remain as strong as I was. I haven't seen the league I will play in next season but I aim to promote.

I calculated and guessed, that I'd lose the midfield even if MOTSing. So I played PIC 4-5-1, 2 WTM, 1 defFor. And I guessed, number 1 wouldn't lose vs number 7...
In the end I won midfield even with PICing (an injury of the opponent helped) and number 7 won 4-3 (an early red card favored him on top...) So maybe with playing normal I wouldn't have lost 1-0... So now I am back in league VI after 13 seasons above. Promoting again will probably be hard, seems like there a some good teams in my new league. At least I shouldn't relegate once more...

It's clear that lower divisions are getting stronger and stronger. It's tough staying up. Too bad ynnek...
edit: looks like my div VII will be easy enough to end 1st or 2nd, enough to promote. Our stats are the highest atm... Last edited by Aggie; 29-05-2012 at 15:37. |

Motsed to 4-3 victory to make me 3rd.
Next season will be difficult, since I aim to sell 2 of my top 3 mids, I will replace them by guys from my youthsquad, all other top 11 players are cleaarly over 30. I aim to buy a striker, a goalkeeper, a defender and a winger at an opportune moment, this probably means at the moment my midfiled starts to look at least solid again. On top of this I will probably go for a cuprun again, meaning my just promoted youthsquad mids get to play the league games. 5th would be good result for next season. On the bright side I do have 10 M euros and it is still adding up. I assume I will have about 15 at the end of next season.

According to this info: http://htev.org/league/17493/season/48/round/14/ I had 3% chance to end 7th. Disastrous luck it is called. I agree...
