And Wolph getting the guy in the 2nd round was his achievement or the mistake of the others in the league?

Now that is a good question....but if everybody thinks that scouting is a waste of time, then you can say that it was both....+ for wolph for scouting and - for people thinking that scouting is a waste of money..

Hoping for a MVP is always a bet, even more if you do not have the two first pick. Last season, I had a good pick (the second if i'm right), well even with 40 points spend, the draft was a bust. Aiming for fourth because of the draft is, sorry, stupid.

I bet you had a smile on your face when you typed STUPID, didn't you. Or when you typed ASSiduity. Shame on you

And the JBBL isn't all that strange...12K a week is the average scouting spent. and BTW..I never said it was a perfect plan or even or even a plan that is worth doing but it can be done. And if Drafts are random, you just never know what can fall on your lap at 10.

No stress....I even BALLED you for your previous post...crazy funny stuff from the best GM in the business

Gee, and yet the two fourth place teams in your league combined for one late purchase (though admittedly, the fourth place team did pick up a nearly 200k player, there are already 3 players over 100k on that roster). And the first place teams still won, as they are in most every league.

You should look more closely when doing reserch on someone's post. 1st..I didn't try to do that this season. Maybe next season. If you look at the standings again you will see a GOLD CUP next to my name. I won the cup,So I already got my ticket to the show(BB3). I wasn't trying to win the double. I always respected BC Toroos for letting a fellow countryman join him in the BB3(gives the people of the country two teams to root for on Wednesday). As you can see, I ran my real squad in taking down the 3rd seed and used the final of my conference to train my PF at PG for 1 position OD training.
(I would have beat him just like I did in the CUP final). I still got 50% for two games and didn't have to pay salaries this week. Yay!!

I know you didn't try to do that. Neither did either of the fourth place teams in your league. Neither did the fourth place teams in thylacine's league. Neither did the fourth place teams in my league. Nor have I seen any reports that this is happening anywhere with any frequency at all. Perhaps I'm wrong and I've missed dozens of threads complaining about how people are going out of their way to try to finish fourth instead of higher spots, like we used to see people doing for fifth. Perhaps there are people who are loading up to try to win the playoffs strictly because they'll get 50% instead of 33% and there's a rash of monster-filled teams romping through their playoffs. Or maybe, and this is a radical thought, people still think it's better to finish first than fourth.

Have you seriously seen just how unprofitable most everyone considers the draft to be?

That is what most people who have never gotten a MVP/HOF with a decent starting skillset draft pick thinks!!!!

I had one of those once, with the sixteenth pick of the first round. Of course, I was coming out of V and very few teams were even active, and I think nobody must have been scouting. But you can't exactly count on picking that kind of player with a pick you get as a playoff team unless the teams aren't investing in the draft.

Yes...this is what I did...I even wrote in the forums that I wasn't going for the double...
