1. Newcastle - only two inter-conference games left where they’ll be challenged, especially Brussels W15.

2. Rome - have 3 tough ones left, particularly W15 when they head to West Yorkshire.

3. WYW - certainly back on track after impressive wins vs. Brussels & Danzig.

4. Danzig - beat Donegal in one helluva game but have tough tests the next two, then should coast.

5. Donegal - gave up a couple late TDs to Danzig; otherwise would be looking at a possible home playoff game. Have some tough games left.

6. Brussels - failed to capitalize on an uncharacteristically high number of WYW TOs but remains a very dangerous team now & in the playoffs.

7. AFD - got a big win against Plainview & the passing game has come alive, but staring two tough games in the face & like last year, a matchup with Donegal will be big.

8. Plainview - other than a W13 game with Newcastle, have the easiest road left to travel. Looking good for the playoffs, which I believe would be the first time in their history.

9. Portugal - if I recall correctly, this is the last hoorah for this group as the ownership expires. Sadly, they may come up just short of the playoffs, although they still have an outside chance.

10. Irish - lack of depth on D continues to hold this team back.

11. Mokum - another team with some depth issues & while they’ll probably end S5 with their best record since their inaugural year, questions abound as to their future.

12. Atom - may be facing strained financially but give them credit for fighting the good fight.

13. Cologne - whoa. Lots of inactives & CPUs makes for a bad team.

14. Trondheim - hey, props on the win against Rotterdam. Looks like that was some kind of game, too. Good chance they get their 2nd W tomorrow.

15. Rotterdam - a team I’ll be watching closely in future seasons, as they’ve got a nice amount of cash to work with this offseason.

16. Dublin - not that it matters, but have a LB handling their kicking. I think that’s pretty funny.

Not that I care too much but Mokum went 12-4 their first year...

Instead of selling it back, have you checked to see if one of your long time GMs, or players agent wanted it? You can have this done. A team I have a player on, seemlessly changed ownership. All the players stayed on, and the team never missed a beat. I'd hate to see the Car Bombs go away.

My GM's are my buddies and they are too busy to really run a team. We had a good run and Im looking forward to not stressing over recruiting anymore. Thanks guys

Some words from Mokum about depth.

I wont pay ridiculous contracts for players on D. So i have to play with the guys who are on the team from year 1.

I deleted 128 rejections yesterday.

So I hope the players stay on the team next year and hope I be lucky in recruiting for next season for some players.

It is fun to play anyway

As for PBR, we are currently going to finish out this season and possibly next season. However, with a possibility of 3 new stadium upgrades this next offseason, I should have the money to recruit a few more playmakers to help push us into the playoffs, if we don't get in this year, which doesn't look likely.

But I too have too much to worry about to run this team. I will be offering my best 10 players service after I close down my team, although I really wish I had someone who wanted to buy the team from me as much financial effort as I've put in to make it a good team, financially speaking.

But if not, I'll retire most of my players and use the consequental flex points to boost my existing players for the last time. I've already put too much money into this, and with my basketball season just 3 weeks away, I'll be much too busy to be doing more than just checking in on here.

Trying to be smart. This team died last year due to bad finances. Been recruiting with common
sense. I don't care how good a player is I'm not paying stupid money. Shoot, took 2/3rds the
season but I signed a very nice young LB yesterday. Excellent build and reasonable money. I'm
targetting .500 season next year and better the year after that.

Yep, this would be our first playoff game in team history. Pretty cool considering we were 0-16 not to long ago.
