It would nice to win the Cup for bragging rights and play my starters, but it's not worth the risk of getting my starters injured and my backups in bad form. Cause you never know when there'll be an injury.

I play the Mesa Mehados the next two weeks in a row, they are a serious team (they rank high in hatstats yet are struggling due to poor offense)...I plan on resting some of my starters for these cup matches...but not all.

While temptation is there, I think I have to play my reserves in the cup. The league is where the $$ is, and that's what I need. Bragging rights are nice, but solvency is better.

I definately will be playing my trainees except what positions I don't have B Team guys for.

I'll be playing mostly backups, but I have a few injured, so the first few games are going to be a stronger team for me.

I will be playing my B-team in the group play unless a player needs to play to get training for the week because of a red card or injury. Once the actual cup starts (if i make it that far) I might mix a few starters in and mess around with special orders to see how they play.

B-Team no doubt. Not going to screw up my chance at auto promo.

Starters, mostly. I'm putting up around a 43-45 NSI most weeks; the rest of my league features one team putting up around 33 and then six in the 26 region. I figure I can win the league even playing my trainees.

I'll do like Katon and I assume you've all heard about my all-bot league by now :D

B-Team too. I am looking to make a run at auto-promotion since only 2 teams are real opponents. Auto promo would mean French Div III + 120K for first place + 170K for auto promo !!!

I will play the reserves. The next 2 weeks I play an abandon team. So, providing the hattrick garbage truck doesn't come around I may get to play some starters in between.

i don't have enough squad players to have a b-team i normally have less than 20 if i get more i sell or fire course i am only getting youth pulls. If i can get my current 3 trainees to pop i could actually get out of debt(maybe)

I'll play a mix of starters and backups, cuz I don't have enough backups to field a team. :)

I'll play backups through out. However, William Vang is now a solid scoring backup. I just transfer listed him, so with any luck, he'll be gone before the Cup starts.

Not enough to fill a b-team, rested some starters for a friendly and got shellacked 7-0.

My coach was double booked.

I'm 3rd in my division and truly only a miracle could put me in a position to advance. Tied 2nd in points, but gd on the big 2 is huge.

You mean, hopefully he'll be gone before you play my team, right? ;)

No I think he means he will be gone before his first cup game :) against me (hopefully....please please sell him). Although Ardent you better watch out 1 of my D trainiees bumped to passable, and another's form rose from wretched to poor ;)

I'm not in the cup. :(

Must have joined too late....

Well I only have backups at central defender and forward. So I have no choice but to play my starting midfielders. After saying that I must let it be known that I will bitchslap whoever hurts one of my middies.

Thanks.

It will be a mix for me because I don't have a full trainee squad, once I can afford it again, that is what you will get.

Oh shoot! I better take him back off the market then!

Actually, I'm asking 150k, so he'll probably stay with me. I'm not sure if someone will pay that for the solid 19 year old scorer.

Backups, need the starters in order to dominate my league. And I could definitely use that auto-promotion.
