Oh, and salaries are updated. Our salary floor dropped by close to $4k, so the TV revenue will be down slightly. I don't see any major salary shifts on my team, although I forgot to note what my new player was making weekly before, but I doubt there's anything like a few seasons back when JR and SB had their salary components cut significantly.

My team salary dropped by 8000
It would be greater than 10k if u compare apple to apple w/o increase from skill improvement
Mostly from my big men

Well, I'm back home it appears. After spending almost my entire career here in II.4, I found a side gig up in the NBBA for a few seasons. I had arguably one of the worst injury plagued seasons one can have with a superior doc. I auto demoted without tanking, so I'm broke, that's good news for everyone else here. In the last 7 games of the season I went 3-1 against the 4 teams that made the playoffs at home, but went 0-3 against 5th-7th seeds on the road - that's how close it was. Don't let that bother you though, that team was sold off weeks ago and won't battle ya'll this season.
My old-timer team had a 70k salary cut overnight with the aging update, which means I can afford to add another back up. Once I find money, I can consider that option... But probably not. For the second season in a row I "won" the schedule which gives me a pair of back-to-back road games before the all-star break. Even with a week 1 home game, that might be enough to bankrupt me if the attendance penalty from demotion is all it's rumored to be.
Not sure how this season will play out. Will I find 1 trainee I like for the first time in many moons? Will my average age go up or down? Will another injury streak make me sell off and quit? Will the witty banter of some in this series keep me hanging on? Will that surprise game one CT catch anyone off guard?

Yes, your surprise game one CT will catch the Sungrazers off guard. Arg!
Wouldn't it be preferable to play TIE and give your players a nice break and welcome back to DII.4?

I hope so. I just looked it up and it was over seven and a half years ago that I defeated you to promote to II.4 in Hattrick, and I think that's the only match we've ever played against each other in either game. Wait, is that going to encourage you to save that CT for me? Never mind. ;)

But yes, it's great to have you in the league, even though a more fair world would have you still in the NBBA.

I wouldn't risk it if I were you. You don't want to go into your first home game of the new season coming off a loss. You may as well CT yourself to make sure to get the win and that sweet attendance. I'm not sure who you'll play after that, of course, but the important thing is to take care of that road game.

This advice sounds very well thought out and unbiased.
I will run it by the coaching staff and see what they think.

I wonder what happened to lawrenman.
RIP McFlabbies?

Continuing with the unbiased advice, it's really important that you start November off with a road CT as well. From what I've imagined it will give a huge boost to your fan survey.

mCT it is! I've been waiting for the day I could avenge that game!! The torment of the ever present anguish of the past decade you caused me will finally come to a rest this season. Twice.

Hope you're wearing your big girl pants, this just got real.

You got it all wrong bro. You gotta play him competitive twice in the reg season, but not good enough to win and drop both games. Then go spank him on his floor in the playoffs. Imagine how that would feel.
