Who the hell voted for me?

This week i have to bring my "C-Team" ins tead of my "B-Team" 

[Paul-London]

Oh come on Mario !

I know what you are doing, the negative thing !

C team ?  B team last week ?   You put your players in diapers when they are P-1 and send them to the hospital when any normal football player would play !

Everyone of your P-1 players should be playing for certain, not your WR3 at Q-2 but basically you have your entire team minus your 3rd WR.  Not exactly a 'c' side !

[Niki]

yeah, and your loss of DE Nugent is not that big, looking at his AG of 73, he is not a good DE, improve his ST and he will be a very good DT, LB McNeil is young and looks good but LB Thomas has more or less the same qualities. Your RB's Jackson and Allen are almost from the same quality and beside that you do not have a great rush attachk at all this year, so the only player that hurts a little bit is your WR Bell.

Looking at the number of injuries and the period they have been, you have been very lucky with injuries, Montreal had at one point two RB's that could not play, New York had a injuried QB, London had a injuried star DB (Perryman) Sacremento lost it starting RB early in the season etc etc etc

Oh come on Mario !
C team ?  B team last week ?   

Ok, i was overreacting a bit. C-team is a bit understatement. But whatever you say: i will have a very careful decision wheter to play injured players or not. usually NOT.

What a crap..... Are you drunk?
i had 4 starters injured for the WC-game, next week also 4 starters injured for the conf-game.

Allen is NOT as good as Jackson, Nugent is part of the best rush-stopping D-line in the league and recorded 10 sacks and McNeil is better than the current LB3. My best OL G Neal was also injured....

In fact i do not mind WR3 Bells injury THAT much as he does not get many passes.... that is not my concern.....

Please guys do not keep on saying that P-1 is "nothing". P-1 means minus 10% for a couple of plays, mayby many play, many the enire game? and minus 10% is a LOT. That is why i usually start backups....

yeah but you are the only GM that is complaining the moment you have a injuried player!

regarding Nugent, i think he is not as good as you think in rush-stopping, in week 10 i had 200+ yards against you and now below 50 yds!

Allen and Jackson have more or less the qualities, and yes Jackson is the better of the two but they are close to eachother in skills.

The fact is that what you call your B players are so close to your A players that it has almost no influence on the quality of your game.

I think it is sad that you are complaining so much about your injuried players! I think you are afraid that you lose a game and by shouting out loud that you have injuried players you use that on forehand as the reason!

[Paul-London]

But thats the thing Mario you overreact with injuries

Other people have been starting injured WR's, injured RB's and other positions.

You have a few players injured at P-1 and you say you are playing your b side !

I would say though Jackson is better than Allen, even when players have similar skills on paper they dont always play the same.  Allen hasnt been great whereas Jackson when he turns it on is a 1000 yard back.  Nugent doesnt look great on paper but had a great year, helps playing on a great d-line and McNeil has played well but Thomas has been a playmaker when he starts

P-1 isnt a lot though.  Not when its the EFC CHampionship !  P-1 might be a couple of plays or a quarter at the most but look at last week, you were traililng at HT anyway !  Your P-1 players would have been fully fit for the second half.

If my team were in the AFC Championship and i had a few P-1's i wouldnt worry and would go for it.  P means Probable not 'Physically unable to play' !

You say P1 players will play worst but 'surely' if you keep going on about having to play your B or C team then an A team with a few P-1' players is much better than  B or C team

Most of the time my P-1s have good games, as in noticably good games.

I almost never regret starting one.

Austria announces starting lineup:

Here are the major changes from last week:

HB1 Allen / HB2 Jackson (p-1)
FB1 Witherspoon
WR1 Hatchette
WR2 Moore
WR3 Morris (former WR5)

DE1 Rasmussen
DE2 Pitman / DE3 Nugent (p-1)
DT1 Sweeney
DT2 Sape

Jackson and Nugent are waiting for the right time to enter the field of play and to make the game-winning-plays..... WR Morris, who did not catch a single ball this season surprisingly gets the WR3-spot ahead of Brown.... LB McNeil remains on the bench....

FWL-BOWL-FACTS:

As i basically like underdogs i will rather cheer for Ohio or Montreal, maybe even Frankfurt as those teams could set a new FWL-record:

Never in the history of the league did a team with less than 10-4 win the Bowl. And only ONE 8-6 team managed to get into the Bowl (but lost): NY Knights in season 4

So Ohio or Montreal are about to write history..... And maybe even Frankfurt....

Awesome AFC-preview by David. one of the best articles ever published in the FWL.
Impressive stuff.
