Asunto: S12 - Race for Division II

Got a bit of free time at work so I thought about drawing the tables at the halfway point!

1 Melb.Victory FC (III.16) 21pts +57 to II.3
2 Larisa (III.11) 21pts +31 to II.1
3 Tupp Uts (III.4) 19pts +43 to II.1
4 Da Minkees (III.12) 19pts +27 to II.3
---------------------------------------------------
5 Meamega. (III.10) 19pts +20 vs New. Titans (II.2)
6 Stamford (III.14) 19pts +19 vs Boyd (II.4)
7 Elman (III.3) 19pts +19 vs Teen Girl Squad (II.2)
8 TCL (III.9) 19pts +13 vs Dragon Utd (II.2)
9 Snappa (III.8) 19pts +13 vs Raging Parabolas (II.4)
10 Colts (III.7) 18pts +33 vs Tong FC (II.1)
11 Wicked 11 (III.15) 18pts +23 vs CNF (II.3)
12 CE Principat (III.13) 18pts +18 vs DVS (II.4)
13 Alpine Hotspur (III.5) 17pts +24 vs Melbourne Magpies (II.1)
14 United Inter (III.6) 17pts +20 vs Forest Green Rovers (II.4)
15 Eleebana (III.2) 16pts +14 vs Shore Shillz (II.2)
16 Red Devils XI (III.1) 16pts +10 vs Cumlionibus (II.3)

auto relegated from DII so far are:
- Railriders II.3 0pt -29
- Melbourne Victory II.1 1pt -16
- Civil War II.1 2pts -12
- Tornado Tigers II.3 3pts -21

Snappa's unexpected draw in the last round dropped them from an auto-promotion spot..
There are some serious 2 or 3 ways going on battles but I wouldnt expect the top2 to change to be fair..
I dont think we'll see a lot of changes regarding the teams from D2 althought the strongest 3 or 4 may change.
Anyway next update will be done after Rd11.

yay im doing ok lets hope i have a good play off

The end of the season is not far, we're in the last straight line with 4 round to go only... pressure is on!
here is how it stands after Rd10:

(editado)

Nice summary, keep up the good work.

I wonder how I manage to fit all my surfing, fishing, running and socialising in my days sometimes...

Get a job ya bum :P

if only my life was that simple hahahahaa

Plenty of action to come! Going to be interesting in II.03.

I pity the manager who has to line up against Larikan or Cumlionibus.

The relegation match for CNF will define fabian's next few seasons. If he wins, he could be established in II.03 which would be a real achievement. And thus further strengthening the top 6.

TT and Railriders need another season in III to develop their teams, but it could be really interesting to get a couple of the developing teams such as Minkees into the league.

@ agbell:
I got a very good one but unfortunately I get to sat in front of a screen all day on my own... :)

@ Vivski:
thanks... there's a few team pulling their weight with active manager so I hope they get a part of the cake too... I've only started changing tactics mid season last year (a bit late I know)... Every newbie reading this should get their arse into gear about tactic as soon as they can... it makes a huge difference to the score board!

I think I might want to be demoted...

Get the morale up, then hopefully get into an easier league II :P

3 rounds to go only... no margin for error!

Great summary Minkee, love your work [great]

Thanks Naph... hopefully someone will take over next season... fingers crossed :)

I am a bit confused about the promotion rules....in my league, UI has 29 points ATM, and I have 28, but neither of us are in your top 16. am i missing something?

Ok, I am blind...UI are in there, but I'm not (that's the main point I am getting across!!!)
(editado)

Edit: You always have next season...
(editado)

You have to finish first to promote (because the leagues arent the right numbers between div 3 and 4, thats the only difference going from div 4 to div 3)

So If you get into first place, then you will get to have a qualifying match
