I got 2 of my picks I wanted in draft and happy with both of them.
Season 24 is about to begin and I still will remain only players I have drafted and developed myself on my team.

I had some good progress with my trainees last season and a surprisingly deep run into the cup team considered.

This year I look to continue developing my players.

Season begins tomorrow. My training plans stage I am at too. Poses a playoff push scenario for late in the season. On top of that it doesn't look like we got any d. Iv demotes. So the top teams in league are pretty cut and dry ATM.

At the start here I expect to see Donald Luwa in heavy contention all season for MVP honors. Him along with Alpha Males 43k center. And most of the Easton nighthawks' lineup. William Albert also expected to make a splash in leaderboards as well once cup season is over. Marks probably won't be getting enough playing time to make MVP runs, same with Goodrich. Burt Branch not expected to improve much offensively this season but defensively should be quite pleasing.

Team of the Scroll is at worst 1 season away from promoting.

And the season is underway!

After the first game only my team has elected to Take It Easy in a game. A quick start to building an enthusiasm advantage for the entire season!

Donald Luwa patient in an expected loss dropped a 51 spot at his "worst" position vs heavy favored Alphamales.

Another expected loss... And the worst part of the season schedule is completed. From here on out its enthusiasm coasting and game shape management. Made it through both the tough games with trainees all receiving their 48+ minutes of time.

Next is the cup game... An easy win. Then after game shape updates and training on Friday it will feel like the start of a new season.

Awful quiet in here! Hope you win this season and promote into a more active league, sir.

Thank you sir. Dunno why a d. I guy is looking through lowly d. V boards but I appreciate the support.
Yet another season where I have to pull off some cup magic me thinks...

I drew one of your leaguemates in the cup -- taking a look if he's an active player or not, saw that you seemed to be the only one here Well, there are a couple other guys but they're the strong silent type.

Ah Sioux Falls... He's active. Just silent.

Statement game last night made. Playing my bums so I can win my cup game.... And annihilated Denver Claws. Bringing in bench minutes for some starters. Luwa continuing his MVP pace is averaging a point per minute on the season en route to still leading the league in points per game.

Took a lot of positives out of that win. Such as how the offense could look. Such as how much enthusiasm and game shape (spoiler new guys) can be in leading a lower salary team to victory over higher salary players...

My team is averaging 24 trips per game to the ft line too... Clearly taking advantage of mismatches skill wise between my players and yours, want to know the difference? Ask via bb-mail. Glad to share my secrets.

Albert also on fire this year coming off the bench so far, and will continue to do so until cup season is over, averaging 10 PTs in 16 minutes or 30 points per 48 mins. That's good enough to be #3 or #4 in the league in scoring with more playtime. In his 1 cup game so far he also dropped 34 points. Luwa in said cup game a double double off the bench but only 14 points.

Mahoney as a guard is close to being top 20 in league in fg %. Pretty nasty for a guard. You expect that from Luwa especially after he drops a 10-10 shooting night. But a guard? Shooting higher % than Luwa?! Ridiculous...

It took all of last season + playoffs and even a week this season to finish the foundation work on Marks, but now I am finally training him where he really can start doing some work. The downside is it also allows me to start maximizing my lineup when I play against you all. Between Marks, Goodrich, and Branch ( who check yesterday's line to see what kind of life he's about) be prepared to enter a world of hurt every Saturday and Tuesday.

Luwa. Coming off the bench still in league leaders averaging 24.5 points in 27.4 minutes per game. Off game yesterday if 11 9 7 if that can be considered an off game. Found two equally effective yet opposite methods of scoring for my team.

Marks has finally developed himself into a nightly triple double threat.

I have 4 players legitimately shooting over 50%.

My cup run may or may not end Thursday if so I'll be playing my starters every game... If not. Then not.

For those of you not yet managing game shape or enthusiasm. Check my cup win vs the real McCoys. They had 10k+ players at all 5 positions and 7+ k players on bench and I just smoked him in the cup because my enthusiasm is better
