To refresh anyone's memory,
I have reached 1st place alone after 3 weeks, having PASTED 2 of the 3 teams I thought would be good by a combined 13-1 or so.
My next opponent, Ultra Ballers is a mystery team who has been around quite a while (3-22-02). He puts up 18-19 stars on defense alone, but his midfield has always sucked so bad he lost all the time (I beat him 7-2 aggregate last year). I figure it will be easy again as he has lost twice already this year.
Well. I go to check on him and he FINALLY sold one of his defenders for $2 MILLION. Shit, if he uses that much in our series, he will RULE easily.
Then I look at his match and he didn't even bother to replace the player he sold in his lineup, so he played with 10.
WTF is the deal. Has played for 20 months and still in D V- and losing? He should be KILLING all of us- and now he may be, starting with ME. http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif Guess what, he has finally awoken. Spent lots of money on a few players, including a 6.5 star one. Put up a 75 NSI and 37 stars- with a 0 star keeper due to injury, which he has money to resolve.
Anyway, I am still in first place, 3 points ahead of 2nd place (who has already gotton to play Ultra both times :( ).
I play Ultra AWAY this Sunday. Even if I MOTS, since it is away, I don't know if that will do it for me.
Should I PIC for the TS and get over it. I will still be tied for 1st, ahead on goal differential (unless I lose 15-0 or something) with a date against that #2 team the last game of the year?
Should I MOTS and hope (maybe play CA or something)?
If I lose, I will fall below the auto-promote line possibly (undefeated so far). I need to do what's best to at least have a promotion game to get out of this series if Ultra has finally decided to win. Don't wanna be stuck in V for 2 more years.
I would appreciate any comments, advice, or someone with more knowledge than I (most of you) checking the stats and game summaries to give me some helpful hints or what-have-you. BTW, I have about $1 million I could spend if needed.
Thanks for listening/helping.
