Cool, glad it gets read by someone lol. Honestly it helps me scout as well. I find scouting by trends of managers to be more helpful than using straight numbers to find patterns. I'd get lost in the numbers game with so much information.

Dang Goldfish and Buffalo went bot already. They didn't last long. It is hard keeping people active because this game is generally a slow building game that takes time. So many want instant results but it takes a little time to be sucky before you get good.

I'm hoping by continuing to post on here that it can keep people involved. The number one way to get any game to be successful is having human interactions. I know I'm always more involved in a game when I know that others are interacting. If there isn't interaction then players can get bored in between games and lose interest.

Good luck to everyone the rest of the way.

May the bot get bought and not another goes bot. lol

There has been a bit of an influx in recent weeks so a few will go bot when they realise the game is walk before you can run style without buying everything instantly.

I liked the tone of your evaluations, in general.

One thing that didn't get mentioned is that even the best teams in Dragons 2 are usually struggling to be even competitive in Dragons 1, some just initially, but I'd say around half of the younger teams are just going straight to relegations. Some of them Yo-Yo between the two divisions and - on average - one out of six can hold it's own long-term.

It's the most competitive league below Elite for a while now and the only competitive Division 2 on the server. In Dragons 1, there's currently at least 17 teams with over 10 seasons of experience and development and around half I think is over 20 seasons old, few of them even 30 or 40+ seasons. You cannot really get an easy matchup, you have to sweat on wins every single game, pretty much.

Other D1 leagues are pretty chill, because relegation is never really a threat in them.

This is why I chose Dragons. Wanted to be tested. That and it is where I started season 00. I find it boring to just play mostly bots.

Recap of the predicted games of the week

Well only one of those three turned out to be close.

Wolves vs France Turned into quite the blowout. Absolute domination for Budapest.

SF Vs Mirmidones. At halftime SF held a one point lead but Mirmidones fizzled in the second half being outscored by 18.

St. Paul Vs Turigstians. Lived up to the hype!

3 to 3 after the first quarter.

2nd quarter Turigtians gets a field goal and a long 73 yard td to take a 10 point lead in the half as St. Pauli was blanked.

The 3rd quarter starts off with with another TD by Turigtians (this is because of an interception thrown by St. Pauli) to expand their lead to 17. At this point it is a 20 to 3 score. Looks to be a runaway after St. Pauli throws another interception. However on the first play of that drive Turigtians throws a pick to give it right back. St. Pauli turns that into a TD. It is now 20 to 10. Turigtians then takes it to midfield before stalling. They punt the ball down to the 3 yard line. St. Pauli then goes on a 97 yard 11 play drive for a TD.

4th quarter It is now 20-17 and Turigtians is hlding onto a slim 3 point advantage but has lost all momentum. Or so it seemed. Turigtians intercepts St. Pauli and nets a field goal to take a 23 to 17 lead. On the next drive St. Pauli goes on another 11 play drive for 81 yards and a TD. St. Pauli now leads 24-23. This is where all scoring stops and both teams exchange punts the remainder of the game.



Other entertaining games

Snakes vs Owls. Owls lead 17-7 at half but snakes outscore them 14 to 3 in second half to win 21-20. Stats are pretty equal between the teams.

Phillo vs GB. Phillo had to hold off GB 28-20 despite GB being a whopping 4 days old.

Next games of the week

Feels weird to say games of the week when there are 2 games a week but whatever lol.

All three games are the 1st place vs 2nd place in their respective divisions. I don't know if the outcomes are in question but it will be eye opening to see how far or close the top teams in those divisions are.

Cheshire VS NE

I have NE as the favorite but they are 2-1 and looking up at Cheshire who is 3-0 in the standings. Will Cheshire show why they are 3-0 and will NE make a statement that they are here to stay?

Miami Dolphins VS Toffees

Both teams are 2-1. Toffees have a loss to Bulls who are very strong and Dolphins have a loss to the now defunct Lagos team. Miami is who I would favor but wouldn't count Toffees out.

Vikings VS Bath Bucks

Still haven't figured out what a Bath Buck is but this is a team that is 2-1 and only 1 game behind the Vikings who are 3-0. If the Bucks want to show they are a threat to Vikings this is the game.
