The fall season has raised play options for Sludge - League or Pickup? Similar to the election fever, you should weigh "change" vs. "more of the same." Which option is which is still up for debate. Add your benefits/drawbacks via Comments.

biggest benefit of leeg for me is that I always like all the people on my team. In pickup, I sometimes am not so fond of, or even intensely dislike, someone one my team. This greatly decreases my enjoyment.
Related benefit of leeg: We know we have to show up because our team needs subs/players. So we do. the opposite is true in PU, no need to be there. Would we really get to play with sludgies as much if do PU? or will it turn into only 7-8 showing up each week?
