Season 29 Round 9
Being a tiny ray of light in the misery that was yesterday, Snaken increased their total points this season by 50% going from 6 to 9 after a 4-2 win over my main rival for direct relegation.
I've now moved up from 7th to 6th spot again, it will probably be really tight as to who will directly relegate from my division. I still have 3 home matches and a derby coming up in the last 6 games of the season, where I can utilize my midfield strength, so I'm hoping to get at least another 6 points but I think I'll need 9 more really...

I lost my game 1-3. So after getting 4 points vs the nr 1 I'm back to reality... All I have to do now is win three games vs clubs who hardly have active managers. Two of them haven't logged in for a month. Next season should be better, I just started 3 weeks too late with this game to have a chance in this season.

I won 1-5 to get my title campaign back on track, though it seems that no-one is safe in the Pugwash FC squad at the moment, as on top of my CDZ cup injuries I have ANOTHER injured trainee.
That's 3 out of 6 trainees out, including my star my player, a 20 year old world class winger, out for two weeks. Luckily I should be able to win the next two league games without him, though next week may turn out to be a banana skin after I MOTSed this week. |

3-3 at home where I should have won. I even got the midfield...so pretty disappointing.

I draw v.s. the bastard that was suddenly playing counter 3 weeks ago. Guess what? After 3 weeks of countering, now he was playing 3-5-2... But hey, still 1 point and a very, very high TS. Unfortunately that SOB injured my best midfielder for 3 weeks.
Next match is another counter team, and I think I'm going to loose that anyway, so I don't really need that mid. All-out defense, I hope I can sell a forward and buy a world class defender in his place. If my competitors for the bottom places are doing as bad as the first half of the competition I'm almost sure that I'll place 5th after all.

The Marauders pull one out this week 2-1 against a stronger club. I am pleased as I can see a tiny chance of staying in the 5th division if I can win 2 more matches this season... well at least get a Q-Match instead of auto relegation.

Had an overconfidence event and lost 1-6 going down to 3rd place. Really don't know why because before the match confidence was only wonderful and not exagerrated. I would have probably lost in any case even without overconfidence.

@akots - how are you finding the keeper training? Do you think you will stick with it? IS it going to be profitable enough for you to stay in the 5th? Can you forsee a possibility of advancing to the 4th with that training regement?

But, as I've told you earlier, advancing to 4th division is a major task. I have no idea how it will turn out and if I ever will be able to accomplish this epic endeavor. Other teams are also progressing very well through the game. The major problem as I see it is increased wages for the level of players required for the 4th division. All team has to be at least world class in primary skill (minimum of 53-57 stars) to have any hope of performing in 4th. For that kind of income, I have to double and probably almost triple whatever income I have now. Considering now I can field 45 stars barely, and this can be probably easily increased to 48-49 stars with some small investment, I'm progressing at about 3 stars per season. However, wages are progressing exponentially. So, with my current performance and income, it seems I will top it out at about 50 stars maximum. Then, I would just have to wait and do something creative with training or invent some other source of income like may be daytrading for half a season. But daytrading is extremely time consuming and lowers performance. Ok, sorry for a long post.
