Who do you play in your qualification/relegation match?

[DukeRulesMAB]

I haven't stopped laughing yet.

This is their last match's ratings.

Mississippi Gurus

Midfield: disastrous
Right Side Defence: poor
Central Defence: passable
Left Side Defence: passable
Right Side Attack: wretched
Central Attack: poor
Left Side Attack: poor

If I don't beat these clowns 7-0 minimum, I'll be sorely disappointed.

[AccardoOutfit29]

I play these guys:

Miami Dolphins
Player rating and Team formation
Midfield: passable
Right Side Defence: excellent
Central Defence: formidable
Left Side Defence: excellent
Right Side Attack: passable
Central Attack: weak
Left Side Attack: passable

They'll probably beat me, but that wouldn't be too horrible. I need another year in D.V I think.

Uwajimaya SC
Player rating and Team formation
Midfield: weak
Right Side Defence: passable
Central Defence: excellent
Left Side Defence: outstanding
Right Side Attack: inadequate
Central Attack: passable
Left Side Attack: solid

I think I may need another year in D5. I'll try my best to win this, but it's a pretty tough division I'd be heading into.

[Coffee Warlord]

Glottingham FC

Midfield: inadequate
Right Side Defence: passable
Central Defence: inadequate
Left Side Defence: inadequate
Right Side Attack: excellent
Central Attack: solid
Left Side Attack: excellent

This is gonna be a war.

IV.56 doesn't look too bad, either. I want in!

I'm up against the Carolina Mudpuppies - their ratings from today's match

Promotion is looking possible...

[cthomer5000]

upon further review, I have next to no chance. 2 starters will be out due to red cards, and a third due to injury.

If my team spirit wasn't recovering from the MOTS two weeks ago, I *might* have a chance. But with TS at calm I don't see me throwing up my past "Formidable" midfield.. I'll be lucky to pull out a solid on the road. Not a bad thing as IV.18 (The same division as cthomer's opponent) seems to have been rated in the top 5 of the IV series for a while now with 4 teams consistently putting up 70+ NSI's.

Oh well, wish I could swap opponents with ya, ct. That week midfield has my mouth watering. ;)

looks like i'll be sticking around in one of the toughest DV (103) series for another season. I'm hoping i can put up a passable mid when i MOTS these guys and win like 10-0 and really pull in some supporters

[cthomer5000]

question: does team spirit & confidence reset after the season?

I PIC'd three weeks in a row, and got this...

Texas Babylonians

Midfield: wretched

Next season in V.16 should be fun. The best returning team has NSI of 50, Next best is NSI of 46. My last match was a PIC'd 46. The 2nd best team doesn't train either. I just hope the Div IV team coming in isn't tough.

[JHandley]

I play a team from IV.16 called Rocks...last league game:

This is gonna be a tough one. I may be stuck in Div V whether I like it or not.

[MacroGuru]

Well, this is who I play, and I fired my coach, and picked up another just so I could reset my team spirit for this one and MOTS it too. I'm just happy to be sticking around in Div V

I'll be up against Dark Storm Rising FC, in IV.14. This is a somewhat confusing team, as they haven't always scheduled friendlies, suggesting either carelessness or disregard for training. Their most recent match was a walkover, so the ratings below are from their previous match. The match prior to this one saw them post a weak midfield. I might be able to take this one, but it'll be tough.

Really takes all the drama out. I will win in a walkover.

Holy crap I have to figure out a way to compete in division 4 next season!

No one is coming to say hi in D4.43?? I need help tearing into the blasted Ghetto Superstars!

[DataKing]

It doesn't look like anyone will be joining me in series IV.49 either, unless they do so via auto-promotion.

At any rate, my opponent in my qualifier is Jedi Mind Tricks, from Series V.63 (no FOFCers in that series, to my knowledge). They've averaged 50.9 NSI this season, with a best of 58, and have never put up a midfield better than inadequate. Their match ratings from this past Sunday:

Jedi Mind Tricks

Midfield: weak

Decent attack, but it won't do them any good if they never have the ball.

Uh, the Ghettostars are auto-promoting, aren't they?

It seems that the Tarheels didn't even put up a lineup!

You are correct!!!

Despite their attempt to stay in D4, they'll go to D3. They are hating life, and even said so in our series conference. Good for them. Haters!!

[vex]

They were what, 2 spots above the line?:D

I play the California Conquerors, run by an Atari 2600 processor.

Having an FOFC series mate would be pretty slick, indeed. However, having read your dynasty and become familiar with the quality of your team, I'm quite sure that my team's rock'em-sock'em robot head would fly off well before yours. :)

Great dynasty, by the way!

Well, unfortunately it was not to be. As soon as hatstats updated, I found out I will be going to some sort of Div IV hell, the likes of which almost makes DK's look warm and fuzzy by comparasion (well, not quite IV.49 is Div IV hell).

Thanks for the kind words on the dynasty, I've gotten a little behind but now I'm back home and looking to catch up.
