So im 20-1 and first in my league. I have two more games left before heading to the playoffs and one is a scrimmage. Tomorrow Nights game ... So here is the situation, I either start my bench forcing them to play ALL 48 minutes or start my bench while putting my official starters on the bench for 10-15 minutes playing time each. I really want to win this championship and am hoping Game Shape doesn't ruin anyone for my players. If I start my whole bench, will my starter's game shape be decreased while bench's go up? Or do I just have my starters sit on the bench for a majority of the game? Please tell me what you think the best decision is. And How I should do it. Thanks.

I would give my players ca 60 min in total because that is the best. If that means start with bench players so be it.

this is a table about the fgame shape development, after the first change in the season - you could see that 55-60 minutes are the best for game shape.

I played in your league in season 7, won your division, and got promoted.

My advise is stay right where you are and focus on training for another season. You will get slaughtered with "Pitiful" perimeter defense in division IV.

I would Herm Edwards your league. You play to win the game. WIN your league if you have the chance. I am sure with your record you have made some decent money. Money enough to buy a player or two, or build your arena.

You could easily end up in a D IV league that is terrible. Many D IV managers still come and go, don't check teams, become computerized, etc. Half of my D IV league never check anything or are already on second manager (or soon to be so).

This is fantasy basketball. Why not move up when you have a chance to ..ESPECIALLY in lower leagues like we are in? You will adapt to your league. Who cares if you get relegated down? You won't in the lower leagues if you pay attention at all to your team. Now when you get into the bigger leagues ...I am not there, so I don't know, but this may become a harder decision. I just hate the idea of not moving up and purposely wasting 3 months in the same league when you can move up because of things like training or money.

THis will not happen in D IV ..but other divisions ...but there is the chance of moving up, and get relegated back down and "wasting" a couple of seasons getting back, but again...who cares? so what. Fantasy basketball! Staying in a league runs the risk of a great team getting relegated to your league as well ...and winning your league the next year all because you chose to stay there to train perimeter defense? Give me a break.

Win your league.

Except we'd want him to actually, you know, win.
