On the back of the NT winning the Consolation Tournament, let's kick-off the new season with the usual poll. Also, welcome to Arab City, Roaring Lions, WTK and a welcome back to Deportivo after 2 seasons in purgatory.

It looks like the EBBL is going to be fairly open again with serious contenders in both conferences. It should be an interesting season both for playoffs and relegation.

Salary-wise this is the situation as of tonight is as follows (updated):

Durham Wasps $ 815 522 ($ +126,136 )
Gausón $ 659 869 ($ +91,325 )
Sabre of Valiente $ 649 325 ($ -19,114 )
Phoenix Warriors $ 644 154 ($ -52,216 )
Bethnal Green Erks $ 629 205 ($ -41,412 )
LIDLTallfellas $ 622 475 ($ +25,754 )
Los Mikitos $ 604 112 ($ +1,689 )
Doncaster Hawks $ 559 626 ($ +19,644 )
Tide of Fire $ 529 732 ($ +17,573 )
Roaring Lions $ 427 691 ($ -5,817 )
Stinkilemons $ 412 553 ($ +4,061 )
T20 Cricketers $ 377 130 ($ -6,574 )
Arab city $ 340 956 ($ -8,103 )
Arsenal 98 $ 340 009 ($ -29,554 )
Club Deportivo San Andres $ 336 583 ($ -41,831 )
WTK Trail Blazers $ 309 950 ($ +29,616 )

Impressive job by WTK in promoting with a 280k payroll.

Congrats on making it new teams! Especially Arab City and the Roaring Lions who have ended up on the blue side. This does bring a few problems though - 1/ you''re both good and 2/ there's far too many managers on my own side I actually like now.

Congrats to Lemon too for your excellent tanking for that draft pick while also staying up ;) and to Gully for winning all of the things!

Looks to me that the EBBL is kind've split into two tiers right now. On the salary scale it's Vecx up, then Lions down...Good battle for the playoffs on red, 5 into 4 doesn't go...On the other side T20 had an impressive season last time but I'd think need some new investment if they are going to do better this time, or maybe a promoted team can surprise but in any case it's pretty open for the 5th - 8th battle.

I lost a few games by less than 10 on the road. I only managed to successfully blitz Elmacca, but it's not like I didn't try to win at least 1 game per week. In fact when I played Wlodawianka I tried to win 2 games (bad idea) and with MTD I ended up with lucky fans holding the fort. My plan was to be in control of my relegation position, but I failed miserably. L:)

I think 1 or 2 roster changes can make a big difference for several teams. I excluded Vecx from the Poll because I don't think he will try to rebuild this season.

Probably right. I was hoping for a decent draft and got nothing. Picked up a C to play with a different build style for bigs for information really, this season is pretty much me playing around with trying to learn more about the game engine.

Completely agree with this from lemon. Its certainly true for me. If I don't find a new starter I can't win the league. I've voted for Sabre, mostly because I found him so difficult to beat last season. I also think he has the least need for new blood.

In the other conference its very difficult to pick one team that's ahead of the others. Which I think might give Sabre the better chance of having home court.

Wow, ~19k raise in the salary floor this season. Employing Sousa is basically free!

edit - now the floor is up even more! 442k is 49k higher than last season...Not sure what's going on?

You mean, you caught me 2 days before the cup semi final with Big Mac and Barker being rested

But good job on the report the salaries are a bit out now after the player updates (me 596 > 622) - plan on updating them?
