Looks like Gareth was right, defence doesn't win you championships! One more win gets me promoted so that's the goal, looks like the title and pro days might be a lost cause!
Division 1 is incredibly one sided.... Be intresting to see whether a team like Sky Valley can put up a good fight next season.
I'm sure Sky Valley or whoever else comes up will be competitive. I know that my team is coming towards an end of a cycle (in terms of player ages), where I'll basically have to go with some younger less able talent and look to sell some of my older guys. I'm almost assured to get relegated to the Championship (in the 'real' league) next season, so it'll be a period of change for me. With the way Para Disjointed are playing, they could get up for the title next season-although I think Tegal will have something to say about it.
Yeah it's going to be very competitive next season. Disjointed getting more and more upsets over us, soon you won't be able to call them upsets.
Also the trains and sky valley have been consistently awesome. Back to back promotions for both of them, has seen them go from the bottom tier to the premiership.
Speaking of which, might start up the new thread tonight for sign ups etc.

So I need Highlands FC & Surge to both win, and then hope I can win next week to have any chance at promotion? Also need to make up +4 goal Diff on the Whipping Boys, not liking my chances...
It is harder for me if Whipping Boys win tonight, but then I would need to beat Surge, hope Elite beat Highlands & make up the +4 goal diff...NEED some HELP!
I haven't been able to get on for a while so whoever I'm playing has a good headstart - not that it's really needed lol... the sooner I can get a new (replacement/cheap) laptop the better. Working for the gummint sucks... *everything is blocked!!!
*everything does not include www.forums.yellowfever.co.nz :-)
Can you play injured and suspended players in friendly leagues? Because if not I'm screwed.
you can, it's just not seen as the "done" thing

Personal Preference I guess. I tend not to, as I think its better to test everyone's squads rather than best XI.
I don't play them, but if you can and still look at yourself in the mirror in the morning without suffering a guilt-induced psychotic breakdown then go for it ;)
Don't think I will, might as well see what I've got coming for the next four games or so

Haha I think we've found an official verdict!

Dirty Sanchez's bus arrived at The Bush about half an hour ago. Raggedy bunch...
must admit I was expecting the RFC squad to come out a little more aggressively. odd shape too? I'm trialling a new shape with my non banned and injured players need to test it for the next league game.
TTU 1-0 up against me as he looks to seal the title.
And in the wooden spoon match Tawa fc is beating me 1-0 also.
Very depressing.
Sorry, playing a couple of suspended players this game. Usually try not to, but couldn't get on the net before 8 to change the team after last nights cup game.
No worries. Am sure I've accidentally done it once or twice.
3-0 now. DOOOOOMED
Spoke to soon. 4-0!!!
Patrick beating my Aussies 2-0 as well.
Miserable night.
Boom.
2-1 in injury time. 1 minute to go....
fulltime. Boo.
2-1 win for me, Think I can safetly say I stole that win and 3rd place too.
3-0 loss for me...still 4 points out of automatic relegation though
Congrats to Div 4 winners Highlands FC, I came back from 2-0 down only to concede once more, my hopes were up for a second! Never mind, was a good battle.
EDIT: Now I need Highlands to beat Elite FC to make sure I get promoted! Go Highlands!
Won the division with a game in hand! Sky Valley's meteoric rise continues...
EDIT: Now I need Highlands to beat Elite FC to make sure I get promoted! Go Highlands!
I am also cheering for Highlands, though I need a 3+ goal victory over SurgeFC at the same time (4-0 would be useful, think I need to start out VERY attacking)

I may bring back the famous Vee formation! (or not).

nice! completely unexpected 2-0 win away against 2nd placed Linwood FC, bonus being a TV match, cha-ching!
Congrats to TTU for wrapping up another premiership with a massive win over me. Tawa FC also all but avoids the wooden spoon with their win. Disjointed can snatch 2nd place with a casual 16-0 win next week.
Naenae take the division lead with their win, as Racing Fat cockneys relinquish it with their loss. Wellington Phoenix FCs impressive win over the fat cocks sees them out of the relegation zone. Next week the Racing Fat Cockneys will be looking to win the third division title, a win which would also see their rivals Tawa AFC relegated to the 4th division. Tawa AFC need to better Wellington Phoenix FCs result in order to stay up.
Funny that both your teams tegal are the worst behaved teams.
Haha 2 at the very bottom, 1 tied for the lead!
Has been an excellent 4th Division, soo close all season long. Just wondering in case I win 3-0 and Elite loses or draws, what is the second tie break after Goal difference? Of course going on current league form is more likely i lose 3-0 (Lost 6-1 last night, conceding Sponsor goal gone, position tight, now in 12th)
Next tie breaker will be goals scored.
Final round games!
