This is what I’m trying to do. I had “premature” success last season and ended up promoting, but my timeframe plan had me ready to promote to D2 in the next two seasons. So I’m focusing on my draftee(s), taking the losses + revenue, and hoping on a good draft end of season, and pressing on. I do like the added difficulty of it. I knew a guy who would use a training regimen on players 2 years apart in age, so 18 - 20 - 22, (for example). And when he felt like value was high he would sell one and replace. I thought it was a good idea, I’m just not as patient. I’ve got two guys who are 21, and a guy who is 20, who are all 95+ TSP. And I tend to focus on tertiary skills first (for their position) and then begin to work at the more expensive primary skills.

Beginning with the end in mind, I will have to sell one at some point (offseason?) I am sure, and rotate in a younger draft pick for next season.

So anyway... uh, yeah.

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!

What's going on over in the LA Lions front office? Harold Miner sold off 3 bench pieces from a 15-1 juggernaut and tried to sell his 3rd best player too. A 2nd straight season selling off key pieces in the home stretch and tanking the playoffs to earn a little extra money?

Eh, smoke and mirrors. I still agree with your preseason assessment. I got all of the top teams at home the first two-thirds, including you. I got rebuilding teams on the road, and questionable teams during weeks when they had a tournament match that needed more than scrubs. I didn't play anyone tough in the tournament until after I picked up the $1.30 during AS week. My ego loves the sound of a "15-1 juggernaut", but I can't let a lucky schedule dictate what I want to do or when I want to do it. I don't want to deal with restructuring the team, playoffs, and possible promotion during the middle of December, with the caveat that I did almost add a 150 TSP player (49152695) into the salary I freed up as recently as a few days ago.

...and tried to sell his 3rd best player too...


This part... may be debatable

That's very disciplined, hats off to you for not getting sucked into the fun of a 15-1 start and sticking to the course for what's best long-term.

You know best if Pagan is your 3rd bets guy. I was surprised to see how much OD he had on him as a PF!

I was cursing the BB gods for my scheduling luck this season. I had to play the top 4 teams in the Big 8 all on the road (based on records at the end of inter-conference play). Made for a grueling attempt to get the auto-promo slot to NBBA. As of now, it looks like I will get it if I can win out. There is 1 other D2 team with a single loss (Resurrected Fury) but I have a good buffer on PD. If I hadn't lost to 10inch verticals though I would have a much less stressful final 4 games of the regular season.
