Looks like an abandoned team. There is a 1.6M in win prize money I will never see again. The lads are not getting anything in the reverse match other than the satisfaction of a job well done.

I know it's early, but it feels good. I have a new star GK, my second year MC has come into his own, and I made two very exciting ST acquisitions. Now if I I could only figure out the set pieces. I waste most of the CK and FK opportunities even as I read that many of you guys would not win without your CK and FK goals. It's a scary thought how good we could be if we took advantage of those. (Of course, there is a school of thought that the score is precalculated and the animations are for entertainment only, so if we don't score from set pieces, weI score the same number of goals in another fashion.)
You'd wanna tank in Cup to ease off the schedule.... It'll be midseason if you tank in CL, while it takes only 3 days to tank in Cup.
