Drawing an EBBL team in Round 2 seemed like a bit of a misfortune. Really fancied a bot team in Round 3. Oh well.

You would have been worse off with most League II teams and it should be a very easy win for your team, even if he plays both his PGs at the same time which is next to impossible with his current roster (and in any case you'll know this in advance since he'll have to preserve their Game Shape for the NTs).

lol you were afraid off my team

you really need to spend more time on the forums and scout your opponents more :)

Not sure what you think I should have done facing two NT players. They certainly concerned me, especially after I lost my best player the other day. I'm sure you do realise I wouldn't have won so easily if the effort was reversed. And before Sime fouled out we saw in the 4th what your team did to my backups, even with less effort, so I couldn't have rested all my starters.

I would admit to expecting you to make an effort to win. I still can't work out why you would sit two NT players in league games, then make no effort to win the one game they play in.

So yeah, I made a mistake there. No idea how I'd find that out by scouting or reading the forums. You'll have to educate me further for that.

Played on max yesterday, kicked out second division and in next round been awarded by Bot:-)

I think you would have won even playing TIE (you) v CT (him)...bb stats for the game were 124 to 96, despite you getting GDP wrong, and presumably that's just too big a difference provided you have reasonable outside defence in your 1-3 spots.

to be honest, forgot to CT you, but I am sure it wouldnt have mattered in the end

with regards to scouting my team, what i ment is, that you would be able to see that I only have 2 players off note in my team. Yes, they are good players, but they are not the top payers, and yes they are NT players, but NT players in small countries. They do not have huge salaries. They maybe can score a few points outside and they can pass. But none off the other players can score and my 2 NT players cant rebound, score inside, defend inside etc. so an inside offence against my team and they are useless... You would have won in 99% off the cases, knowing this and you have enough knowledge that you know that. Next time give your team and yourself more credit :)

with regards to the forums, I am pretty sure that I have mentioned that I started rebuilding and sold almost all my players. I am planning to go down to div III and try something new. Not sure it will work, what i have planned, but lets wait and see what happens.

For now, I kept the two NT players, because they play almost every game as long as I keep the GS up. I am below the leagues salary limit and the extra income from the NT players is nice.

I wish you good luck in the tournament and lets see how many more EBBL teams you will kick out this season :)

Congrats on your win Carolina.

Also, well done to the Droxford Admirals for turning over Club Deportivo San Andres, the JR Knights who beat SuperHands. Regardless of lineups both noteworthy wins.

The result of the round though was undoubtedly new jersey2's win over Tatatallfella, using the rarely seen FCP.

new jersey2's CT may have helped a bit ;)

Spoken like an ex-EBBLer.
