I can't help but notice that all the talk going round is about the play-offs!
Just starting a wee thread to discuss who is going to get relegated, since it looks like I could be one of them!

Looking at the current table and the current squads, you and Dr. Pepper (new team) do look most likely candidate, and I would say the latter would certainly go down. But don't give up, you're only 2 games behind 7th place and with a bit of luck you might get there. You might still get relegated in the playoff though but at least you could get some money from the playoff games.

The problem I've found is having less money to start with, meaning I have been trying to keep a core squad of about 12 and train them up for the last two seasons. Other relegation candidates however have obviously been given a team in better financial condition, and have bought their way out of trouble. I may be a tad spiteful but Bhattas Ballers are a prime example of this if you look at their squad. Lets just hope for an exciting end to the season and both ends of the table :)

Agree with DBS. And if I may give you a tip...get 3-4 young 18yo outside players and train them for a season or two at least. Outside player are better paid but if you follow what Templar Cavaliers did you are on the right track. I wouldn't be worried of getting relegated...right now if you go in II Division you're pretty sure to be promoted and you get more money as DBS already said...Good luck

Don't quite agree with you on that one to be honest. All teams start with the same amount of money and same quality of players (ie. shite). If you look at all the top teams in any league they've been playing for many seasons and you do need patience with this game. You might get to the top quicker if you're tactically astute and financially prudent enough but Rome definitely don't get built in one day.

If you're relegated this season you'd most likely come back up the season next (with 1M prize money) so it's not necessarily a bad thing.

Ah well.

His team's game shape is worse than mine, so you might have a slight chance.
Why not play 1-3-1?

I feel 3-2 has worked well for me against him as I won in my last game (although it was a buzzerbeater) and with 1-3-1 not being tested by myself thus far, it would be too risky. I played the first half of the season with man to man, and changed to 2-3 with my teams inside strengths but changed to 3-2 against run and gun teams, let's hope it pulls off!
