Congrats on making it new teams! Especially Arab City and the Roaring Lions who have ended up on the blue side. This does bring a few problems though - 1/ you''re both good and 2/ there's far too many managers on my own side I actually like now.

Congrats to Lemon too for your excellent tanking for that draft pick while also staying up ;) and to Gully for winning all of the things!

Looks to me that the EBBL is kind've split into two tiers right now. On the salary scale it's Vecx up, then Lions down...Good battle for the playoffs on red, 5 into 4 doesn't go...On the other side T20 had an impressive season last time but I'd think need some new investment if they are going to do better this time, or maybe a promoted team can surprise but in any case it's pretty open for the 5th - 8th battle.

I lost a few games by less than 10 on the road. I only managed to successfully blitz Elmacca, but it's not like I didn't try to win at least 1 game per week. In fact when I played Wlodawianka I tried to win 2 games (bad idea) and with MTD I ended up with lucky fans holding the fort. My plan was to be in control of my relegation position, but I failed miserably. L:)

I think 1 or 2 roster changes can make a big difference for several teams. I excluded Vecx from the Poll because I don't think he will try to rebuild this season.

Probably right. I was hoping for a decent draft and got nothing. Picked up a C to play with a different build style for bigs for information really, this season is pretty much me playing around with trying to learn more about the game engine.

Completely agree with this from lemon. Its certainly true for me. If I don't find a new starter I can't win the league. I've voted for Sabre, mostly because I found him so difficult to beat last season. I also think he has the least need for new blood.

In the other conference its very difficult to pick one team that's ahead of the others. Which I think might give Sabre the better chance of having home court.

Welcome to all the new ones and good luck to everyone! We'll keep on fighting one more season.....;)

wow there is life here, people are actually using the forum :)

hello everyone, and thanks for the welcoming, hope its not for one season.... :) have a great season everyone

Thanks for the nice words and big gratties on that awesome season!

Wow, ~19k raise in the salary floor this season. Employing Sousa is basically free!

edit - now the floor is up even more! 442k is 49k higher than last season...Not sure what's going on?

You mean, you caught me 2 days before the cup semi final with Big Mac and Barker being rested

But good job on the report the salaries are a bit out now after the player updates (me 596 > 622) - plan on updating them?

Updated also in the OP, thanks Erkboy.

Barker had pretty bad GS anyway coming from an injury, Ma Anhui ended up defending Adams or some other backup, such a waste, and I trained single position at PG that week like most other weeks. Not saying I would have won on the road if you went full lineup, but I doubt it would have been a blowout even with me training like I did. I think you slightly overestimated your team at the time, trying to win 3 games in a week by mixing it up (well, against me there was always the chance I'd go full lineup in the home game and throw the game against you, but I did try to win mostly road games for the $$$). I tried to blitz Vecx as well and the game ended up being fairly close in the end (the sly fox played Innes at SF!) *-:).

I just reject the notion that I tanked throughout the season, I didn't, I played for $$$ and to get into a relegation playout because I thought I was gonna be able to pick my opponent. However I did make a lineup mistake against Wlodawianka and lost to MTD due to injury and foul out. Of course, when I couldn't catch CWA for 6th anymore and I already scouted a 5/5 prospect, I decided I would try to get enough PD to stay ahead of MTD and get the 2nd pick (which was risky because if Gauson had thrown his last game, MTD would have overtaken me). So yeah, it's probably fair to say I semi-tanked in the last few games.
