Had to play one of my main rivals today, so I did not dare to pic.turns out he is going for another round in the cup and pic counters against me. Hope it works better for him wednessday. Today it was crap for him 0-8.

Won 2-0 vs my biggest threat in this division.

Lost 1-2 PICing.

Played with a higher risk than necessary.
My opponent bought an IM which he can't afford for long just before the game.
I needed the PIC if I wanted to have a chance in the cup.

Still I could have won, was unlucky that the chances went over my weak side and a striker got sent-off.

9-0 away win.. vs. last place (owner less team)

Drew at home against a 300-star team which went all-out in midfield against me and fielded only 215 stars. I gained 57% possession while being at least even in anything else bu still could not win. Quite disappointing but in general it is OK. I'm still No. 3 in the league and will be able to avoid direct relegation apparently with 95% probability. I just need to win 2-3 more matches which should be pretty easy to do. Moreover, I think I can try to run for 3rd or 4th place this season with some luck and this might bring the anticipated financial relief.

I MotS-ed my away derby vs my main rival and won 1-3. Also I broke my hatstats record again. I'm now at 189. Next week I will have to play nr 3 at home. Team spirit of course has dropped, but still I should be able to win. Then I will have two easy PiC's to improve spirits again.

I'm sucking bigtime... I'm now 7th in my league. 6th might be my new goal instead of 5th

Lost 2-1 against a superior team on the road, so relatively happy (except for my best forward getting hurt for 3 weeks).

The downside is that the 7th place team pulled an upset and the 8th place team went to a new owner (after I've played them, but the 7th place team hasn't). This means I'll drop into 7th on GD next week and have to play this guy on the road in our next meeting. Auto-relegation is looking more and more likely despite being in the top 900 teams in div V.
