Nada and Schnitzels round 004 - Cooking up some fresh cards

I have high hopes for my casual team this week, I have normal hopes for team limited and I'm also hoping the canteens at the stadium have beef stroganoff on the menu. Big fan. It's team selection time again so let's see who gets to put on the socks this week!

Firstly we start with our Crispy Golden Schnitzel Underdog team and I'm happy to report, all of my Limited guys are playing this round which is a first!

Unfortunately boss because it's the Underdog comp, you can only have four limited in the group of five. 

Sigh, hello spanner, meet the works. So I've taken out the lowest scoring limited player I had and replaced him with the worst common player I can find because the rules of this particular point out that the common guy could set himself on fire and then whiz on the ref for all they care, nothing he does will actually count towards the score. -100%. Take that!

So Julian Drexler scores that dubious honour being the lowest ranked player in that position. 

The highly emotive Bobby Shuttleworth gets to be captain of the underdogs squad this round because he's better than the rest of them and I find it hilarious that the guy who does the least running on game day gets to be in charge. Make me proud Bobster!

For the first time in a long time, I'm very confident of my casual crew because the lowest average amongst them is 58 (both Palacios and Benzema) while Mammana is on 78 which makes him captain on the huge hope he'll have an every better round this time. Will this week be the week where we land a Star Common player or better (or the first limited guy I don't have to pay for??)

That +27.5% points bonus will come in very handy if he scores just as well this round boss!

Yes it will, I can practically smell the winning card already (even though in RL I can't smell much, damn nasal polyps!)

Which just leaves the boys that need a little sharpening in the skills and experience departments: 

And I've decided this week that if your points bonus is low, into training you go! Therefore, the following get to drill their little hearts out in...eh...practice drills!

Interesting to note that while the average points bonus across these guys currently are 5-6%, strangely both Herve and Clinton in team one have a bonus of just 0.5%. So unless they do really well and climb the ladder in their respective positions, they're going to be in training for a very long time to catch up..

For the rest of their lives! Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Okay mad cow, ease up. 

RESULTS STILL TO COME, STAY TUNED!

RESULTS ARE IN, THEY ARE NOT PLEASING!

I've had one or two players not show for a match (and the occasional low score thrown in for good measure) but this is a first - all but one player actually showed. What in the holy hand grenade is this all about? To his credit though, Sands put on a great performance, it's just that he had zero help..

On the casual side of things though, a far better outcome. Unless you're Palacios but hey, we all have bad days. After all, the Fajitas could be going the way of the Crispy Snitzels and have a good 80% of the team fail to even set foot on the pitch..

Once again, I'm still waiting on the cards for these rounds (well the casual team effort) but I can't say things are looking good for the snitzels right now..

Snitzels - 7.1% Well that's a massive fail hey?

Fajitas - 81% That's what I call solid. More of this please!

Boss, there's another player who just showed up to the club rooms. 

Right - is he lost?

No apparently he's a late prize for something? Maybe they just thought we didn't have enough free players to choose from? Anyway I've sworn him in, given him a locker, taught him the theme song and found a spare uniform. He's good to go now!

 Fair enough then, let's welcome another Fajita!

Ezequiel Cerutti has a good average which is good, because we're going to need it. He's also played a few games recently to build said average, such a shame he's not a limited card though because god knows we need some numbers there.

Eze-Q is an aspiring rapper who likes to create rhymes with what he sees at the club rooms. Unfortunately given what goes on there, they're not safe for public consumption which is why none of them have made it past his spirax notepad. 

Sigh. Can we move on to next week already please?
