2 good: Rock Bottom 4.92, Shakespeare 5.75, Eudaimonia 4.85, Fenland 5.13, Schadenfreude 4.78, CRAIOVA 4.79, Navua 5.13, Cobra 5.02, Beer 4.89
2 bad: Northern Thistle -1.33, Crows -3.08 (now season's 4th worst), Night -2.50 (w/o), Moroos -1.67, Arruda -1.88, St.Paulie -2.37 and now season's worst score, Hunstnaton -6.51 (corner tactic).

So far, St.Paulie and Oakley haven't registered a positive score after 6 rounds.

The bots have it, it's definitely their league.
This only shows the poor state of the Division 2.

Bot 1-2 now. Aubergine could win 2 seasons in a row

You should exclude bot sides imo. They have the distinct advantage of not playing anything other than the same team.

Might do. I'd have to think of a way of calculating it.

Two strikers (Antolak for Fenland and Jesus for Aubergine) are unstoppable for most of the managers in Division 2. I understand the reasons behind the request to exclude bot teams but in the same time I cannot ignore how bad our second league is. I mentioned it already a few times and this is why I'm conflicted about excluding the bots, it'd only brush the issue under the carpet.

I think a better idea would be to separate Premiership from Division 2. Division 2 would have to face the fact that bot teams (rated at 50 to 53) are tactically better.

This league was meant to show managers where they are tactically compared with others. It was meant to be a push for managers to improve their tactics. On the other hand, I understand that because of the incapability of improving, those teams with a good tactic score big and climb to the top.
Premiership is not the same, especially this season. It's made of teams with managers that continue to improve their tactics and find ways to close the squad value gap. It's poised. Therefore, I really think the Premiership should be a separate league in this game.

Definitely true about the prem. On any given day one side can beat another, probably with the exception of wdp who we all lose to. He's still got a gulf, although these days he's winning 3-4 goals instead of 8-10 so it's not what it was.

So, it's fair to say that Thamesmead won the last season's Tactical League. Is that what you're saying? (drum roll)

Nope, Aubergine did.

Wdp has the best squad in the division still. Only area he's not top in the league is strikers, as Timisoara have better strikers than he does.

I was looking at another concession that I am willing to make. This time is one of your demands. The bonus for the away win/draw. At the moment is 0.5 for draw and 1 for a win. I will probably reduce it to 0.25 and 0.50. And, in the same time, take points from the home team.
(editado)

You don't have to separate the divisions at all, I just feel it's unnecessary for the bot sides to be included. :)

As for the previous season, of course I won it ;)

My strikers are worse than Timisoara? Maybe worse than others too :p
