Yes congratulations to Zalgiris. My season went almost as well as it possibly could, alas those losses to CWA and Optic Fibres made it exceedingly hard to beat. I should have probably lost to Gully in the first game though, so it balanced out. Potentially I could have bought a better C instead of 2 players, but I think Zalgiris probably wins anyway. I thought Bergkamp could beat him, but no GDP, no W.

Just checked 2/3 of the teams and it seems like another dreadful draft for the EBBL.

Congrats Vycka, and thanks for the nice message on Saturday - think after 2 days I'm now over the disappointment, ha.

Anderson injury obviously big, but as Lemon says maybe I should've predicted that 1st game either way - if I had to guess it was that (figured win home without prediction, lose away, depending on how close games 1-2 are see if we need a prediction for game 3...but alas, things don't always go to plan). Very good team though, better defensively than I expected and Bassett is tough to guard.

Yeah I checked at least the bottom half of the teams + a few others, it's an awful draft again. It's the quickest we've ever had draftees though afaik, good sign for the rest of the offseason going smoothly?

Thank you to all.
I had 2 great seasons in a row,hopefully I'll not stop with those two tittles.I checked some records

Vecx had 5 in a row EBBL 🏆
Elmacca 3 🏆
Gully 2 🏆
(Other not counting cause in active)
It would be great reach Vecx record and keep that legacy ,but It seems impossible, many competitive teams. Also always were thinking try to win Cup and league but then you have to have at least 8-9players competitive on squad to manage minutes (training players If have one).
Also should be nice to make It something higher In B3 ,but probably not this season. (this also depends on b3 schedule If you lucky)
Anyone remember what's the record of England team In B3? As I remember Vecx reached semis no?

Bergkamp , I expected predictions at least in two matches,was little surprised,but Yeah home Is big advantage so sometimes afraid take risk..
Sadly Basset turns 34 , This season unfortunately will try to sell. Luckily you hehe

I forgot the injury. Yeah, the game was close even despite that, so you might have pulled it off with no injury. I just don't think Zalgiris was going to win playing Inside Iso on the road (at home it's another story), as his team is stronger with inside tactics, but I might be wrong of course.

Also commiserations to Elmacca who had the 6th record in Utopia and lost out on the last bot promotion slot because I lost my finals. I did try and had the lead with 4 minutes to go against a team with 12 million DMI to my 7. Dedpite playing LI, he hit the last 2 3 pointers of the game, one with the C and the other with the PG over 22 OD...nothing I can do about that really.

This is off topic for any thread really, but who remembers that Belgian user who used to be in chat and stuff, might've been a GM as well? Is he still about? I had a look through what seemed the prominent Belgian teams and I couldn't find anything that rang a bell.

I'll never forgive you because now I have to put up with Bergkamp in both leagues, at least he's on the red side in Utopia

I didn't promote because I messed up the team's game shape when I was on holiday in Italy, I had a real chance of overcoming home advantage in the finals I think. My utopia team is neither here nor there at the moment, too good for Division II and not good enough for Heaven.

I'm also due to have a boring first half of the EBBL season but hope to be stronger at the end of it.

Not sure though: 4 promoted teams in Utopia are all in the same side (red) and the other side looks much stronger on average. Funny thing is the guy who won my league ended up on the other side eh: he already had a good enough team for D1, but bought more players. Joemaverick also ended on that side, I don't envy him. Anyways, in Utopia I'm gonna stash money in a couple of players, finish the arena and cruise: looks like relegation series is the most likely outcome at the moment.

Ah yeah, that was him. Seems he's definitely gone, I wonder how long ago.

I haven't scouted Utopia yet, but based on salary alone I think I can head straight back to the top division. I quite like the 2 I've got for sale, but think I'm best off selling both, replacing them with 1 new guy and going with that 9 as my rotation.

AZ got sick probably around 2 years ago or so, I remember him telling me he had been in hospital, he came back for a bit but was frustrated with a few things and real life was not easy. I haven't heard from him since. I'm not sure what happened to him.
