Alright! In a close battle with kozlik I have won the election. I hope to prove to some of the naysayers that I have what it takes! I plan on getting everyone scouted and updated by Wednesday and all managers contacted by then as well!

This season we start off with 4 easy games before we start with the more difficult matches, but I think we have what it takes to claim Americas gold, hopefully we can kick some ass.

Thanks to everyone who voted, I hope I dont let you down! Onwards Canada!

The basic depth chart is up. I intend on adding player links and expanding the depth chart to include many lists ranked by varying categories :)

Enjoy for now! http://w11.zetaboards.com/BB_ECU/topic/8572630/1/#new

Nice work bballin, that's not an easy task.

That said, maybe it's just me but I'm completely confused on why Arsenault would be rated ahead of Worley? 1 extra IS and 1 extra ID shouldn't trump the much better all-around skill set that Worley provides and I don't even think it's close. I count 16 extra skill points on Worley at a position where being an all-around player is extremely important.

I see an even more baffling ranking lower on the list with TSA and Massicotte, Sorry but Massicotte is garbage, he's on the trade wire every week moving to a new team for pennies.

When I see the list, it seems like you almost looked solely at the primaries/salaries and ignored the secondaries altogether. It's got to be about the builds not the salaries.

I explained in a post in the depth chart thread that I did not rank the players in order of best player at all. I merely put them into little groups in my head and randomly inserted them in those groups. Locks, Legitimate chances, callups, 2nd tier callups, everyone else. TSA(with his age and ID) has about the same chance of ever playing as Massicotte does. Thats all.

Also with Worley, id rather not get into too much detail about player skills, but even though he might very well be a better PF than Arsenault, Arsenault will start in a set lineup. I would not start Worley with his 2 STA.

I have been taking into account secondaries just as much, if not, more than primaries. Just ask beanerz as I have been messaging him with some tips and advices on picking this roster(one of the hardest things I have done in BB :P ). This is why you are going to see players that have been on the team in previous seasons, miss out on the starting roster this season.

Also just for future reference the thread on the offsite is open. If I didnt want any discussions on that thread I would have closed it, so please try and make sure any discussion related to the depth chart and tactics are left offsite, we have one for a reason :)

My apologies bballin, I missed that 'not ranked' part.

And if you want to fix the low stamina problem for Worley, just play 'let coach decide' with a blank lineup and the coach will automatically cut back his minutes. Even in a set lineup the coach plays the backups far more minutes when you start a low stamina guy then with a high stamina guy.

Needless to say, I don't think it's that big a deal considering that Worley is so much better than Arsenault. But perhaps I'm in the minority.

And the reason I'm not posting this on the off-site forum is because nobody goes there anymore. I'd be talking to myself!

I can...but I need invitation from your national team coach. I don't want to obtrude oneself on Bballin;-)

I see Canada's team has had all the players removed
Do teams that have players lose Merchandise $$$ if the team looks like that on Monday?
