I would really like to get out of D5. I feel like the only way of doing that is to go undefeated, as there are 2 teams in the other conference that have far superior players.

I play one of them ([team=http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/23593/overview.aspx]) next Saturday (my gs will be close to ten). I then play the other ([team=http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/28324/overview.aspx]) in the last game of inter conference play.

My question is, if I CT them both and they both normal me (assuming they will because I'm the only worthy opponent in my conference), how good of a shot at winning do I have in either game?

Should I go for it and try?

Should I just fold to both of them?

If I have a chance at them, what tactics should I use?

Oops, did I shoot early again?

I guess I don't know how to use the team link. The first team is (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/overview.aspx?teamid=235...) and the second is (http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/28324/overview.aspx).

Too bad they are both road games. I would for sure go for the one against DC as you look about equal to them and as long as he doesn't CT you should get it. Deathmaple I'd say to wait and think about it again when it gets a bit closer as he does have a superior looking team.

Yeah it does stink they are both away. I am surprised you don't think DC is far superior with the 50k salary player. I assumed he was pretty good..

Also, DM is game shape tanked now, and I also assumed that it will probably only get worse.

Those teams are better than yours. Death is definitely the winner here. Your goal should be reaching the finals. I doubt you can win in the finals though. But maybe you'll be promoted even if you don't win the league. So I would tank both of those games and concentrate on building the enthusiasm. I'd play TIE probably until the finals and then decide what next.

You're 9-0 and second placed team is 6-3 so 2 defeats won't hurt your standings. For D4 you'll need better players than those you have.

Thanks for the advice. Im just worried I wont promote if I don't beat them.

I hate being in one of the toughest D5 leagues. It makes this game a lot more stressful than it should be.

True, I guess I could just save my money until then.

Put up the best season you can. You don't have to win it all to get promoted. There is a chance of a bot clean up promotion. I was in you shoes a couple of season ago. I was in DV and was not the best team in the league. I made the playoffs and won the league in an upset victory. I was definitely not he best team in my league and I beat a undefeated team in the finals. What I discovered is that most managers in DV do not manage their Enth and GS well. Make sure you are managing them as best as you can. Doing this can lead you to an upset if not a clean up promotion is much more likely with the stronger season.

Play TIE against the other teams and the play normal against these 2 try to keep your enth as high as possible.

Yes, you should always try and have the best season possible.

Should I raise them to 10$ even if I don't sell out at that price?
