Points Scored.

Alright, just as in soccer then. Thank you.
I'd prefer they used performance in the cup, since I've gone two and four extra rounds farther than my relegation rivals, with a home game tonight. I'm guessing without the enthusiasm edge, I'm probably a game back of those guys, points scored be danged.

Lol how in the hell did I win that cup game? Makes up for the heartbreaker against homeboyz

And yeah, the injury team would probably be the best team in the league. 308k salary

I must say with a smile on my face that winning that cup game against Dia... both us played normal and he played his standard players (not a training lineup) gave me a little hope for what my team could be. We all know that my bench is horrible and i have played every game as TIE so far. I have made a conscious effort to not have to worry about relegation, but still get solid training in for a host of young post players who will pair with Tommy as he begins to age in 4 seasons. So far the fans aren't happy, but the organization's plan that was created 2 seasons ago after back to back finals losses has gone quite well.

What the fans did celebrate and have sent messages on social media about is WHY has management and the coaches not played the main 6 players 40+ mins every game and never play the bench. Clearly the cup game showed that IF Tommy, Gotz, Joe all play 48 mins with the 3 10k players getting the rest of the minutes this team can beat teams on the blue side.

The BEST scenario would be to make the playoffs (4 seed) with a record worst than the teams that finish 5th & 6th on the red side. Get playoff money but still get a top 5 or 6 pick in the draft! The fans see that as a true possibility and are excited about that and next season!

I just yesterday saw the probability of that horrible unfairness coming to pass. Last season, as soon as I clinched home court I pumped up my scouting from zero to $10k. I had it there til yesterday, when I came to the same gob-smacking revelation as you, only in reverse, that I could get relegated and still wind up with crappy draft picks. I've never figured out the optimal draft strategy anyway, and there's no way as a div III manager I'm going to lower myself to ask advice on the Help forums.

well if that's your way of asking about draft strategy i will happily share 2 train of thoughts.... 1 i dont think its ever smart to completely not put any money toward gaining draft points. Even if its the min amount scouting points NEVER dont have value. Think about this is you were the top 3 team in the league for 5 seasons and never spent a point on draft but always put 1 point towards it each week of the season you'd have at least 50 points!

Second train of thought is to not spend any money on the draft ever really. Some people think that its a coin clip anyway if you pick outside the top 3-4 picks so why invest money on points when you could use that money to fund a better staff member, player, or increase arena size. For example if you put 5k (1 point) NOT toward the draft after 10 weeks you'd have 50k which would allow you to add 250 seats to your arena which if you sold 100% of would mean 2500 more in gate revenue. Add that with the 5k you're not spending on draft and you'd be +$7500 every other season which as we know means better chance of having more good players on your roster.

Nice of you to step up and warn people from following the mistakes you regularly put on display.
