Having said that, one of the Tawa midfielders just picked up a second yellow so that may help.

Yeah, it helped. Helped motivate them to score that is...

Trains drew level 2 - 2 early in the second half but in the end the Chickens were too strong and ran out 5 - 2 winners.

Nice victory Peow, looks like it is going to be a close run thing in the Premiership this season.  Conceding four at home is pretty terrible - I'll call it a blip.

Wouldn't be so sure. Peow just beat TTU and the trains beat me last season as well as going close last week. Plus my squad is very much on the decline. Us winning isn't the nearly sure thing it once was back in the early seasons of the fever league. 

Having said that, I'm Hoping I can capitalise on TTUs early defeat and take back the premiership this season.

maybe, your squad maybe be aging but it is well better than mine man for man - especiall since my two starting CB's are on red cards!

Cards don't affect friendly leagues so you can play your CBs. Just like cards received in friendly league matches don't count (apart from the potential prestige of the Yellow Fever Fair Play Award of course).

A lot of us like to keep our injured and some even their suspended players out of the lineup. Just to keep it realistic as such.

yeah, I won't be playing carded or injured players in the friendly matches

I don't play injured players.

On the other hand, I figure in real life cards don't count in different competitions (e.g., EPL and Champions League) so I consider it realistic for carded players to be available in friendly leagues.

Yeah, I'm the same - injuries - you'll be without them for the next match anyway so you might as well test out how your replacement will go, but carded players aren't suspended for friendlies so sometimes I play them, depending on the circumstance.

interesting take on it - I'm torn really, I'd prefer to be playing my strongest lineup as often as possible especially in prem division, gah what to do???

Here's some free advice for you Prof.

When playing Tegal and Thunderthighs, play your strongest possible line up every time. Ignore cards, ignore injuries. Just really work the system hard.

However when playing other teams in the Premiership, rest your strongest line up and give the youngsters a run. It will gain them experience and protect your stars from injuries and cards which might prevent them being available in the BIG matches against Tegal and Thunderthighs.

Injuries in friendly league disappear immediately after the game. 

But yeah reckon that's a good plan. We did have a headstart after all. I started not playing players who were suspended or had injuries because I often forgot to change the lineup back for league games, plus I figured it'd be more realistic, plus make it a bit more even (this was in season 1). Teams have evened up a bit more since then, but I still do it.

I appear to be in this boot this year.
Delighted with a 3-1 win last night with all three strikers scoring, Leilei & Pink, and then when my new starlet came on he scored his first goal as well.
