Best of luck to all managers! Hopefully it will be an entertaining season with managers that post sometimes. Any people that dare to make a prediction about the champion? And what are your goals for this season?

Hi there everyone! I'm the manager of the newly promoted Antequera C.B, after 5 seasons since I created my utopian team It was time to go up.
I hope that this league has more activity than my last one, almost no one post there.

My goal for this season is trying to compete for the PO and avlid relegation. Also It would be nice to have a long tournament again on BBM, I won un the last season my BBM, even though It was just level 10.

Hope that we have an interesting season with a strong forum! Best luck to everyone!!

Given the state of my team, that seems highly unlikely. This is my first go in III, so we will see how it goes. I think I got a little bit lucky with the promotion, two other other teams had >160% of my salary so I doubt that I am ready to be competitive. With that in mind, my aim will be survival and improve my trainees to a point that they are no longer weak links. It feels very refreshing to play in a competitive league, IV is a hellhole with more than 50% full tank mode and a couple of teams that can afford to take a huge weekly losses. This season should (hopefully) be more about tactics.

Good morning.

Have not checked this league in detail to get a feel for this season … I rather go to the beach an eat some frietjes 😋

Salary range: 393k - 146k … so I am closer to PDs than think about POs and a weekly profit is not really existing …

Fun fact: 5 teams from Germany, 4 in the blue group with the Flying Dutchman 😉

founded in S3 IV.5 (34234) - returned in S28 IV.7 (34515)

Well nobody can blame you for eating frietjes. We'll see how it goes, but definitely interesting to take on the challenge against my neighboors! Probably Germany will win more games than the Netherlands!

Tuesday it will be 1-1!

No goals I am aiming for this season, except development of my trainees and to stay in D.3 … In S60/61 going for something more!

I'm intrigued by my loss of this weekend. Is that powerfull the 3-2 defender? Comparing califications, and above all his offensive califications, and the injury in his key player i thought i was going to win.

Not complaining about the loss just to debate a bit and trying to learn a bit more about the game!

I think that the 3-2 zone did it's job. The positions that are the main influencers of your IS rating (PF and C) took 23 out of 71 shots. With only 32% of your shots being taken by your main options, one could say his OD made it difficult to get the ball to them.

According to points per 100 shots, they should be the main focus of your offense, but those points per 100 shots are misleading, because that does not factor in SB. And he did have 12 blocks, a skill that gets emphasized with 3-2 zone. So while it shows 101.9, in reality it was a bit lower. This applies to all the positions.

The third thing to talk about is rebounding. His rebound rating seems lower because of the 3-2 zone, but he did get 21 offensive rebounds. It is somewhat likely that his players have more rebounding than yours.

What seems a bit odd is that he did have 30 FTA, even though your defensive ratings are superior to his offensive ratings. It is probably an outlier, but something to keep monitoring.

All in all, I think the other manager found the right way to stop you, but even with that the victory was more likely to go to your team.
