First in the promotion table replaces the relegated team with the worst record and 2nd with 2nd worst and so on. Someone posted the relegation table for IV, trouble is someone did this last season and I ended up in a different division - but that time they just listed the teams and didn't give the actual wins, losses, run rate etc.
Edit: according to "League IV direct relegation and V direct promotion" thread in Battrick you're in IV.21
2nd, 3rd in that division will probably beat you, 4th team you'd have a good chance against.

Nice, the same guy who bought me membership last time round (Philly_Bluenose) has just bought it for me again! I didn't ask him to, just posted something on the WI forum asking if someone with membership could send me a screenshot of the WI player faces. I was actually trying to get PayPal working so I could buy it myself, but this way's better.

Get him to buy me some membership too!

I can't resist buying players when they look like this, now there's no FC games this doesn't look so bad:
Steve Rigby - 17 yo, BT Rating=5,562
RH Batsman, RFM Bowler, respectable batting form, proficient bowling form, fresh
An attacking player with respectable leadership skills and worthless experience.
Stamina: worthless Wicket Keeping: competent
Batting: competent Concentration: competent
Bowling: woeful Consistency: abysmal
Fielding: worthless

Hi, just out off the door, but I thought my pics were way off the mark too, so I've done some player profiles of my own. Haven't had a chance to do the whole squad, because unfortunately my boss rather unreasonably made me do some work, but hopefully these will give you a flavour.
Enjoy, Trev
Jordan Bennett - 17yo Resp RH Bat - England
Name says it all, Chav of hoody-wearing, council house-dwelling repute. Plucked from a life of petty crime by The Gurs, and now battling for a place in the first team. 6ft (180cm), 13st (82kg). Swarthy dark features, shaven head, thick-set chin and brow, nose-ring and tattoos on lower arms. Likes his joints, rooms with Skipper Patel, as he needs keeping in order, and separating from Staveley, who's also a fan of the wacky backy. Drives a 250cc motorbike, more noise than power.
Martin Bevan - 17yo Comp RH Bat - England
Clean-cut personable kind'a guy. Recently promoted from the academy, no real prospect of making the first team, but just pleased to be around the squad. 5ft9in, (174cm), 11st (73kg)Mid-brown curtains haircut, glasses, and a cheery grin. Bit of a swat at school, bit pasty from too much time indoors with his head in a book, but not unpopular, quite quiet, steady girlfriend. Rooms with Brammer as he's the new boy, and noone else wants to share with the grumpy git. Drives a Ford Fiesta.
Gene Bewers - 18yo Feeb LH Bat, Prof LM Bowl - Australia
Archetypal beach bum surf dood. Muscular build, 6ft3in (188cm), 13st8lb, (90kg). Long blonde hair swept back in a bandana, shorts and flipflops (Think Aussies call them Thongs?) in most weathers, earring, usually plugged into an Ipod. Extremely laid back off the field, but can get fired up in the heat of battle - Future captaincy material. Really fancies himself with the bat, and loves to play his shots whenever he gets the chance, but takes his bowling much more seriously. Bit of a ladies' man, but never seems to be able to commit to any of them. Rooms with Carless, who's also extremely laid back. Drives a VW Camper Van, (I think you call them Kombis down under if my encyclopaedic memory of eighties Neighbours serves me well.)
Kelvin Brammer - 29yo Med LH Bat- England
Dour, grumpy Yorkshireman, with a heart of gold, although he's loathed to ever let people know it. Was an integral part of the team before Vayro's thousands were pumped in, but now knows that his best days are long behind him. Even so he chooses to stick around for the occasional friendly and to help bring through the youngsters in a coaching capacity, even though he moans constantly about how much the club's gone to the dogs in recent seasons. 5ft8in (170cm), 11st (73kg). Balding, mousey hair on sides and back. Drinks tea by the gallon, smokes roll-ups, passionate about Yorkshire, cricket and real ale, his kitbag is always packed with tins of baked beans, as he can whinge the arseend off a donkey about the food wherever he goes. Stingiest member of the team, which he justifies by reminding everyone that he's the second lowest paid player in the squad. Will think nothing of dividing a restaurant bill to the penny and isn't above giving Bennett a clout around the earhole when he catches him trying to steal a rolly. But underneath it all he loves the club and would do anything to help his team-mates. Rooms with whoever's unfortunate enough to draw the short straw. Drives a Honda Civic because of its fuel economy, though in truth it was long ago fit for the scrap yard.
Shaun Bridges m - 20yo Prof RH Spinner - Australia
A player of whom much was expected as a teenager, but he never quite managed to fulfil the potential. Has now come to The Gurs in order to try and kick-start his career, though he carries the extra pressure of being the club's record signing, at a smidgen over half a million. 6ft (180cm), 10st7lb (70kg) a rangy, wiry frame, shaven head, and stern expression. He's serious about wanting to win things, and achieving the sort of recognition he thinks he deserves. Can be one of the boys, but will tire of the rock-and-roll lifestyles of many of the side. . Has been asked to room with Staveley, in the hope that he will prove a more professional role model. Drives a Saab, as the better quality seats leave him less stiff and more ready to play when he arrives at a ground after a long journey.
Angus Byron - 24yo Med Lh Spinner - England
Another player whose natural ability has been overtaken by the rapidly improving side, though his aptitude for tactics and man-management mean that he's been retained as club captain and a senior part of the coaching and managerial staff. 5ft10in (176cm), 14st6lb (98kg). Not a natural athlete, but his brain gets him through. A softly-spoken Scotsman from Edinburgh, prematurely balding, with wisps of redish brown hair across his white scalp. Popular amongst his team-mates, though slightly distant, good at getting the best out of his players, but perhaps not enough of a disciplinarian. Rooms with Joe Crick, another elder statesman, as they go back a long way to before the Vayro era. Drives a Volvo.
Andy Carless - 20yo Comp RH Bat, Comp WK - England
Relaxed off the field, and cool as ice on it. 6ft1in (183cm), 13st12lb (90kg) A bit taller than your average keeper, and probably carrying a bit too much weight for his own good, but possesses an ability to slip into the zone and focus totally on the task in hand, whether that be behind the stumps or taking the attack to the opponents from the middle order, clubbing bat-in-hand . He's punched above his weight for a long time, and is one of just a handful of pre-Vayro players to continue to succeed. Carless strikes a friendly-looking figure with his Floppy blonde hair, blue eyes and soft features. He gets on with everyone, and always seems contented. Andy was a drifter in his teens, but has settled down quickly and is now one of the few family men in the squad - Husband to Rachel and father to one-year-old Charlotte. His and Bewers' room is one of the messiest and loudest in the team hotel. These days he's traded in his ancient and totally impractical Mini, and now drives an eminently sensible Toyota MPV.
Jason Creasey - 20yo Comp Bat - England
Creasy was Vayro's first signing, and did enjoy some success in his first season, although his career has stagnated since. 5ft7in (169cm), 10st10lb (72kg). Half-cast, closely cropped black hair, short and powerfully built. Stocky Jason is a vicious cutter and puller of the ball. He likes to get after the bowling, but this season has found that he lacks both the concentration and natural ability to consistently do this at a higher level. Despite making just one competitive appearance this season, Jason has no plans to leave The Gurs at the moment - Still hoping to re-establish himself if the club were to be relegated and had to let go of some of the star names ahead of him in order to balance the books. In the meantime he spends his free time as a DJ, in collaboration with room-mate Carlton Harrad. He drives a customised Vauxhall Nova, the stereo in which is worth several times more than the car itself.
Joe Crick - 29yo Comp RF - England
Joe is the most dapper member of The Gurs, and an unreconstructed cad. He won't even consider taking the field with so much as a crease in his trousers or a hair out of place. 6ft5in (195cm), 15st (102kg) He's a lean, mean bowling machine. The smiling assassin, with his immaculately styled, (some would say coloured, though not in his presence), blonde hair, iceberg teeth, which even he admits are coloured, and healthy tan, the authenticity of which is anyone's guess! He's as popular with the ladies as he is unpopular with opposition batsmen - But treats them both with equal contempt. Joe has a proud history with the club, as their longest-serving player and amongst the all-time wicket-takers. In recent times many have written him off as past it, with a succession of bowlers arriving at the club and establishing themselves above him in the pecking order, but he's always managed to bounce back. Even though he hasn't been as penetrative in division IV, he's put an effective brake on the runs, and will line up for The Gurs in their playoff match this Friday. Joe rooms with Angus Byron, although how often his bed is slept in is a closely guarded club secret. He drives a 1969 MG soft-top.
Richard Dunfield - 20yo Resp RH Bat, Med WK - England
Another no-nonsense Yorkshireman, hailing from Sheffield. 5ft10in (176cm), 13st9lb (89kg) Black hair, angular features, bushy dark eyebrows. Richard possesses undoubted talent and has scored some vital runs, although his future opportunities look limited unless he can address his fitness issues. Away from the pitch he enjoys a laugh, watching his beloved Sheffield United and probably a few too many beers, but on the field he knows when to switch on to business and doesn't suffer fools gladly in the dressing-room. He rates himself as a keeper, and is always keen to take the gloves in friendlies, though is awaiting his first opportunity behind the timber in a competitive match. He rooms with Thomas Mullins, another fierce competitor, and drives a Mazda MX5.
Brad Edworthy - 27yo Resp RFM - England
An amiable man with a wealth of experience but who hides his depth of knowledge. 6ft2in (186cm), 14st, (94kg) A sturdily built man, with short mousey hair and pale blue eyes which sparkle mischievously. His other distinguishing feature is his booming gravelly fog-horn voice. Brad is the joker of the dressing-room, and can often be found trying to see how many sandwiches he can get in his mouth at once, or farting loudly and smellily into Brammers kit-bag - Much to the latter's indignation. But the buffoonery belies a nervousness, and closer to the start of a match he's more commonly on the balcony, fractiously drawing on a B&H, or in the toilets wreching his guts up. He's married to Marie, and father to three year old twins Josh and Robbie. He rooms with old mate Wynne-Willson and drives an Audi TT.

I'm still after a friendly game, will be playing mostly my second string bowlers but mostly first string batters (basically the players that aren't being trained in a skill so they keep the form up will play).

Barring any unforeseen circumstances (more multi-millionaires coming out of the woodwork) I should get Watkins. Looks like I'm going to end up paying an insane amount but meh, if he were sold separately as two players (i.e. a 19yo remarkable/remarkable/strong batsman and a 19yo strong/remarkable/strong bowler) I'm sure the combined total would be in excess of 3m, so I'm not too bothered. At present I can bid up to a bit more than 3.25m, which should be enough.
Would like to have enough left over to buy a decent replacement for Badley though, as I don't want to go into next season with a three-man bowling attack. Both of the top teams in my division now have two remarkable+ batsmen so I'll have to contain them somehow.
