V.104 has a battle at the top as Orphans FC travel to the Turtle Den to take on Real Terps FC. The Orphans are coming off a 9-1 thrashing of Indian National Football Team, while RTFC are coming off a 5-0 victory over 10 man Smithers. Should be interesting, Real terps earned the highest Hatstats in the first round, but I will be MOTSing.

I'm playing the team that finished 4th in my league last year. They're definitely a stronger team but I think I have a chance. But my team will be a bit weaker because I'm splitting up my players between the league match and the cup match this week--I want to stay in the cup for a while so I can make some money.

Last week I got 114 Hatstats and my opponent got 55. Not willing to PIC just yet but I think this win is in the bag. I'm pretty confident I'm going to finish in the top two this season.

I get to play our very own California Sea Lions, who demoted from III. He only hatstats me by a 100 or so. Should be good fun...for Dan. :(

You should be fine if you PIC. I strongly recommend PIC'ing as much as possible. Unless your opponent is able to put up much better numbers than 55, go ahead and PIC.

Should be a PIC win for me. Of course with that said, I'll probably lose 2 more trainees to injury.

Play the team currently in first, he has been playing a 4-3-3 with 1 IM and 2 wtm, my midfield should win it out, but we'll see what happens, he won last week playing against a strong midfield team with the same formation.

Playing the the 3rd place team who got a very fortunate win on the road last week. He should only get 110 Hatstats, but I'm focusing on the Cup match so he may pull off an upset on me.

I lost last week's match 4-3 when I got 114 HS to my opponent's 99, so the last thing I want is to have lightning strike twice. I want to make sure I get my first win under my belt before I start a PIC.

Plus, I have another three weeks before my next match against an opponent who has a chance of beating me, so I'm not in a hurry.

got a tough one v the team that may be my biggest competition for 1st place. We both got a 184 HS last wk...

we are even in midfield, he trains keeper so he's tough in the back with a terrible attack. My IMs are on good form so I'm hopeful..

In the same league i have my first match against a perenial div V team. Thought about just switching to 4-5-1 PIC pressing this year..may still but for now i am just gonna play geads up so i can get an acurate gague of where i stand as is.

I'm at home against last season's #3. He put up a 151 in hatstats in week 1 using a 3-5-2 so it'll be a close match. Depending on what his plan for the season is, he might MoTS me but even then I should be able to win the midfield as his highest ever rating is weak + and I expect to get atleast inad -.

Playing the #2 in the series last season. He got smoked last week and didn't play well. If my form wasn't so bad I think I would have had a chance. I fear how pissed my supporters will be if/when I lose because the other guy is in 8th right now. After this game I have two home games shich I'll probably lose. In all honesty a pt from the next three games would be a decent result.

SC Bearkat - chizitos

Opening the home season against the defending series champions. Playing my top trainees in hopes that my opponent is conserving for a road Cup match on Wed. My goals for Cup have been acheived and it's time to concentrate on getting points in league anyway possible, even against the big boys of V.112.

Puke Green Socks are being worn by the team, begrudgingly.

Trying out CA'ing for the first time; hopefully it'll bring me success. My team isn't at full strength because of injuries and the cup, but maybe CA will be enough to get me an upset.
