Yeah, it seems if the goal was only to stop the "buy-player-for-1-game-pay-no-salary trick", I think there were other ways of doing that. For example, your suggestion of forcing teams to register their players before the tournament.

Although, I personally hope that there is something else in the pipelines to make setting walkovers extremely detrimental to your team. I say "personally" because I was the victim of this type of gamesmanship this season in league play... Basically, someone in my league decided to go out in a blaze of glory and set walkovers against the people that he disliked and scrub line-ups against people he did not have a grudge against.

Not that it affected my season in the end - but it could have. And I could also see the implications for B3 group play.

The group phase will involve 8 randomly assigned games. I'll go out on a limb and say that gamesmanship will not be an issue in this situation.

Maybe not as blatant as I suggested but if managers make decisions for the good of their team then anyone going 1-3 or -0-4 in the opening games don't really have any reason to field a line-up from here on.

I don't get it. So you could play the same team 8 times? You will not know your schedule in advance? I am slow, I think I need someone to draw me a picture.

Anyhow, I still don't see the difference between the B3 and the Cup. If the format is good for one tournament, why not the other? Again, a picture would help. ;-)

Have you ever seen serious injury in B3? I haven't, no injury I have seen was serious, all injuried players were always fit after the game. Even if I know it's said by BB's there can be serious injury in B3.

Injuries will statistically occur more however infrequent they are.

The real problem is the gamethrowing and match fixing. But hey what do I know.. i only predicted the most obvious day-trading trend that would be required many moons ago and pretty much every single bull and bear market in player transfer values so far.... I guess I might be wrong this time!

I don't care about statistic theory, I would like to see one example where it happened in B3.

Some good points raised about potential gamesmanship.

But where did they say they were introducing injuries (that lasted more than the duration of a match) to B3?
