I think you might be sand bagging a little there.
When I look at your roster, depthed out with same level players, I get the impression of a deliberate, detailed, and consistent team building process.
if your player builds and AI's are as organized as your team development, 3-13 may be a little bit low estimate.
No doubt this will be a great season.
there is going to be a lot of action and just about everyone will have their shot

Yeah... heavy on the sarcasm. Realistically I think we'll manage 10-6 or 9-7. If ICD had been in AA where they belonged last season, we'd have won OA#4, though Carlton's recruiting has ensured a victory for them over our slowbuilds again this season, but many of our builds will "get there" this year. I can't see us managing much better than the 6-seed in the playoffs, more likely lower, but we'll sneak in and try to ruin some people's seasons when we do.

I think you guys can do better than that. Just depends on when you get your tough teams. If you get them early you may get the 9 or 10 wins like you suggest, but if they come late you could could turn some heads.

It is hard to know where we are at. We will get better as the season goes on, but our chem is low and we have new GMs running offense and defense this season, so will be interesting, but would not surprise if we are scratchy early.
In saying that we are aiming for a big season and will be good to see how it eventuates.
ICD is a very good team, so is Dryden. There are a few familar teams from previous seasons as well, should be a great year.

I'm definitely looking forward to what I think will be a fiercely competitive season. We've worked really hard this offseason to recruit and fill the holes we had last season. Hopefully we're a little harder to exploit now that we have strong players at every position.
I still don't think we're any sort of sure thing, though. Our chem is very low as a result of that recruiting and that won't have rectified itself until about playoff time, really.
Time will tell, and I'm confident we'll do well but I'm definitely not about to come out and say we're going to win it all at this stage. Not about to get caught up in the hype!
We definitely seriously rate both Dryden and ICD and know that they'll be massive competitors once again. You only have to look at Dryden's overall ratings to know that while their levels are lower they're obviously all fantastic builds and well managed players.
Anyway, can't wait for the season to get underway now! Our recruitment is just about done with one more player signing on day 1 and another couple of possibles so now we just get to sit back and see what happens.

Good job once again Didy !
Madagascar... well, it looks better than last season, but there are stronger teams for sure. Still few holes in the roster though.

Eh, I've already got a guy in the pros... no reason to rush this one.

Gotta go with Shango or the Headhunters coming out of Lion. Elephant (as usual) is a bit tougher overall, as EGE, Cote d'Ivoire, Brown Mambas and Wheelhouse are all very solid teams.
I'd still like to see Shango vs Sabercats in the finals though. Yes, I'm slightly biased.
