Sounds great :)
If it's not too hard I think an updated team lists would be great as I've seen some of my reserves have had a run throughout the season and curious to see who my assistant has lined up for the finals.
If not its all good you've done a good job :)

It's no worries, I've adjusted it so the game's go for shorter in real life but the 80 minutes of sim is still realistic. Just want to make the finals feel a bit more realistic. I'll just do the highlights.

I've had a look at that and all the teams are at full strength. You may get injuries during a game but the starting 1-17 should be your best line up :)
 
I suggest trying to resist scrolling down the bottom and read how the matches play out haha
