Subject: Race for the A-League

Yup. Big round all around.

I am playing 3rd and 2nd in the next two weeks which will be an exciting test, and will decide whether or not I can hang on to my autopromotion spot.

...and with no disrespect intended to the sides below third place, I am looking forward to being challenged for a change :)

I think only 2 teams can get the auto promotion now, both ex-A League teams.

blah

Mwaha.

updated...

Current II contenders (in order) are:

II.04____39pts____F48____A6___=___+42____Chelsea.F.C
II.01____36pts____F48____A8___=___+40____Tollygunge
II.02____33pts____F46____A8___=___+38____Jyuukenbu F.C
II.03____33pts____F41____A3___=___+38____ Krayzee Coconuts

So Achmid, worked out if you are trying to win or lose this weekend?

I wonder how many of my five starters on 2 yellows I should rest? An especially interesting decision given that I'll already be missing a starting defender in my qually due to injury

Well If I beat you by 10 goals, and FCM beat PRT by 10 goals then I may be able to get 4th lol

At present I will have 2 defeners on SI which could be interesting whether I play them or not.

And yeh good point, is it better to just try and get some pride points or have a full squad for the quali match

.... and would you rather play Jyuukenbu F.C or Krayzee Coconuts?

Doesnt bother me, I hope to be able to beat both :P

I jut dont wanna play gondor or tollygunge

Hmmm...looks like I'll have to think seriously about resting 4 players for the last round....as I can't go 5th or 7th.
4 1st teamers on 2 yellows to go with losing a key attacking IM/striker last game for rest of the season.
I know it's hardly ethical...but I can see 2 or 3 reds coming if I play them this week.

It's certainly something to consider, and is something I haven't decided upon myself yet.

I think it is better to rest first teamers in a dead rubber if you have a much more important match the following week

****ing ****s. Worst team.

Well here's how it stands

Chelsea FC replace Boyd Singers in the A-League
Tribe play Gondor Guardians
FCM Tigers play Jyukenbuu F.C
Achmids Soul have a replay of last year vs Krayzee Coconuts

At least Sriram can't blame me for goal difference... (There was no way GG wasn't going to beat me.)

Chelsea auto promotes in place of Boyd Singers. All other A-League teams remain.

Quali matches:

Tribe 3-1 Gondor Guardians

FCM tigers 5-2 Jyuukenbu F.C

Achmids Soul 3-1 Krayzee Coconuts

Its worth making the time to watch the FCM tigers vs Jyuukenbu F.C game. Some fantastic ranged goals and some equally good passing inside the box as well.
