Thanks man!
Syndicalists will be tough. It's the match-up of a top-heavy roster vs. depth. His top 3 players have a higher total DMI than my whole team combined (I think, didn't do the math), but his players 4 through 10 are weaker. I'm excited about this series and possibly winning, but also I don't mind losing as I don't think my team is good enough to compete with the higher end Naismith teams yet. I have spend one season in Naismith before and I don't think my team is prepared to compete. I'd take it though, as it would give me a good opportunity to cut some of my old players while making some good coin due to the promotion bonus.
We'll see. Good luck to Syndicalists, and Merry Christmas/Happy New Year to everyone!
