It’s hard for me the write a comment for this. It is clear to me that you feel a strong attachment to your team. Well before this writing that is clear. I always felt, that your digital companions are nothing short of our reals. So when I think about them, I too think about them as a real team.
My team is not as decorated as yours, but some of my dudes did stand the test of time within their limited abilities. Couple of them probably playing their last season this time. It will be hard to let them go. But I feel strongly about my back bench and they are ready!
You know dada, this applies to my team too during the early days but thankfully here I am! Your bench is strong so no doubt you'll keep seeing improvements. But in the end, it's the sentimental attachment that hurts a bit :) But that's also where the fun lies eh!
