As for Week 16, Monarchs will take it seriously.

We WILL be playing a few back ups for them to hit Level 24 before the Play Offs, but thats par for the course and I will guess that most teams had a few back ups in.

I dont expect that our style of play will put up 200 points on anyone, even a team of level 1 CPUs

Its just not what we do.

I could change things up a lot and try, but then your not going to see us doing what we do best.

Anyway thats a LONG way off, we have Warriors and FTA to play before then.

Warriors are seriously challenging to gameplan and FTA looks likely to be a play off for home field advantage IF Who Dats slip up again.

And I dont plan on having any scrimmage games

Apreciate the support guys, as i am somewhat in the deep-end right away.

The first team i own is the the western europe pro league, has 3/4 french players (i speak only english) and the owner owns most of the players. I can see it getting difficult from here on out, but it's all part of the fun isn't it

I didn't realize it was that bad =\. Honestly, I'd suggest talking to admins to see about getting a move down, I don't know if they'll do it or not, but I know they're working on several different ideas for these situations.

What's going to end up happening is that barring some amazing recruitment, you're going to get stomped next season, which is going to increase turnover, which is going to hurt your chemistry, which will in turn make your team even less desirable. You'll end up in a free fall for a few seasons, maybe you'll recover, but from what I've seen of gutted teams so far, they don't recover until they bottom out in A league.

*edit - I just looked over your roster...honestly if you can pull in some talent in a few key positions and cover the losses from the previous owner's players(if he leaves), I don't see why you can't be a viable team in the pro league next season.

Yeah, i dont think i will need to move down, i just think it is going to be difficult really. My main concern is the only french i have is a basic high school knowledge and google translator lol.

I've not spoken to the previous owner yet, im waiting for a reply on a message, but, i'll see how that pans out.

Fredo, the previous owner told me he was staying on the team, he just quit being owner because it cost him too much and he was too dissapointed with losing so many games.
We knew perfectly what we were missing to really be competitive but like many of you must know, recruiting new guys is such a tough job and when we finally had found someone, one of our older guys would come along and say: "Hey,I just bought my own team and...well...you've been a great owner but I want out".
The Sharks have always been a great team, well owned and managed, we were just unable to keep up with the top notch teams when it came down to boosting and depth.
Jackoz has been a great new owner and I would like to say he has been very humble with us, no doubt the Sharks will still be a pain in the arse for some of WEPL teams (AWC can attest )
