You better do what he says.

Well first I am going to smack him around a little this saturday.

I dont know that you have an understanding of the full concept of Tanking?

First thing that you should be doing is selling off a couple of those expensive players before Saturdays game

Its all for the greater good of the Great 8

I'm surprised the majority have voted for DFBS and HA only has 1 vote.

HA already has a ABBL ready roster and right now I say he has the best squad out of the recent promotees. He is in the weaker Great 8 conference so my bet is that he will be able to finish fairly higher up than a number of teams and have a good chance of staying in ABBL this time around.

DFBS with 5 votes, I really can't see him getting out of the relegation zone in a difficult Big 8 conference. With only iwen confirmed tanking and everyone else with decent rosters, DFBS is still a way behind the next team so unless he has a ton of cash stashed away then it is hard to see him finish above 6th/7th. Looking at a relegation playoff against the other conference.

Obviously thats just my opinion...

yep, I am surprised too! Maybe I just have alot of optimistic fans out there. You are right, Big 8 conference looks to be really tough and after a brief scouting, I see myself coming maybe 7th if Iwen really tank this season.

I'm a man of my word guys, otherwise selling players like McArthur and Dell'Asta just to buy some foreign mercenaries would be crazy....

I fully intend on brining my wrath to division II and III.

I dont see why you need to get to div3. Do they have better draft there?

I need to spend money in II to stay afloat. I'd rather not. Sitting on $20m in Div III will be awesome, and my intention is to hardly use any of it to get back up (except buy some bigs), but primarily using my trained guards.

alright... I guess in div3 you can enjoy bullying the newbies.

Thats becuase datzilla is an experienced manager, he was bottled necked in a hard div3 so it was no surprise he was able to stay afloat once he got to div2. The same thing will happen for him in the abbl when he got out of a hard div2 league.

His team is already good so dont misjudge some of his low salary players.. and one superstar in Duffle, they all seem to be playing above their salary. He just only needs to spend that 1mil promotion money on a good guard and hes ready to take on anyone in the the relegation battle. Since iwen has confirmed he is taking 8th spot, I don't see datzilla finishing better than 6th or 7th... to be honest he will cone 7th.

HA on the other hand, has the best team out of all the promotees, has that 1mil he can spent to get a deeper roster.. and has a great chance to avoid relegation. He is certainly in poll position out of all the new promotees. But he has to stay competitive the whole season.

Datzilla on the other hand can choose to tank, bank a whole lot of money, get 1 or 2 wins to get 7th spot and buy some 300k players for the relegation battle against HA. He will have the most potential and will certainly come up with a better team once the relegation series comes around hence he will do the best..

That is true if you come from that angle but Yoda has clarified that "best" is the one that has the most wins/best position. Clearly HA has the advantage when it comes to that with HA being the best promotee team and also pancakes maybe tanking for training?? and maybe are you too??

On big 8 conference, it is only guaranteed iwen tanking and no one else so I have no doubt DFBS will have a good roster come playoff/relegation but in terms of wins throughout the season, he will probably finish in relegation playoff zone
