Training
No bumps this week, at least for playmaking. Timber's experience went up to inadequate and Bush's went to poor. In the next two weeks, however, Storm should hit formidable!

Future Training
Playmaking until a stamina week in the offseason. Then again, my stamina is pretty good except for trainees and that really puts a big hit on your form.

Starters Form
Solid (or above): Benito (exc) Bush Miguel Meek Connors Spagnuolo Christiano Kimber
Passable: Teepen Starks
Inadequate: -none-
Weak (or below): Phelan

Quite good except for Phelan. He's just going to have to play though it because we just don't have anyone to put in his place.

Value

Non-Outfield Leader: Tim Kimber ($502K)
Milestones: -none-

Absolutely no milestones this week on the value front. However, a very significant development is that for the first time since joining the team, Timber was not the highest value as he "dropped" to $502K and Benito passed him at $514K.

20.12 Week In Review

On the Field
Last week's fixture was pretty ho-hum. Unless, of course, your name is Herschel Meek as he scored goals 2, 3, 4, and 5 on the season in a 5-1 win over Team Groomers. This is our second kindof boring game in a row after last week's walkover win against zfan. The win gave us 4th place and sets up a huge game this week against the Iowa Enforcers. If we beat Iowa, we have the inside track to 4th the rest of the year and will even be able to absorb a loss to Chock the second to last week of the season. In our friendly, our winning streak was broken as Samuthprakarn Eagle beat us in Thailand.

Off the Field
Yawn. Really nothing happened this week except that we sold last week's youth pull for $16K and fired our current YP. That's it.
