The player ratings are a pretty blunt instrument, for sure... but Bussières is only putting up 7.0-8.0 lately. Given that his owner plays the same tactics with the same enthusiasm every single game, we have a pretty well-controlled experiment. Bussières was putting up a 10.5 at the start of the season, an estimate of ~70% effectiveness for inept game shape seems about right.

There's no way we can't find someone who's 70% the player that Bussières is... maybe work with our U21 coach. Hopefully we can find someone to fill in for our other injured and out of form guards, too.

I would heavily consider raiding Garnier or Tasse from the U21 team. But agreed this is not the best of situations for us.

See, he also has his own first real game to play, the NT21 coach that is.
If he drops players he loses the players and the enthusiasm, then I keep them locked for a long time even though I only probably need them/him for one game, if any. Nothing guarantees they are better, in fact I think we have solution in hand already.

Not as strong as usually, but I still believe we have the best players available currently

Of course. But he's not in the Worlds Finals with a must-win game coming up. He's in a preliminary qualifier where we need only to finish ahead of two of Panama (41 users), Ecuador (16), and Puerto Rico (21). It's worth a discussion with him, at least.

Strongly, strongly disagree. This is what those empty roster spots are for, to bring in guys whose base skills maybe aren't as good, or weren't as good at the start of the season... but who are now the superior one-game option. Tonight is a must-win game. Bussières, Aubert, L. Tassé, and possibly even Caron (and of course the injured Joly) all look like they're not worthy of the team at the moment.

But good luck this evening anyway.

If you are intrigued about the score, it probably goes like this because i only got home at half time

Yes, 56 points in the last quarter was the plan.

Well, one down, but the price was steep.

i'm not sure that's anyone that's really a good option for the NT. I don't see Garnier or Tasse being any better than the players already on the NT at this point, with the limited player knowledge I have. I think both could be excellent options down the road, but at this point I would be surprised if either really made the NT stronger right now.

I agree that C. Tassé is better suited for the U21 right now, but if the National Team needs someone for even one or two games, I'd be cool with the bump up. I think the main focus right now is on the National Team. C. Tassé is dying to be as good as his big bro L. Tassé.

Unfortunately, our best PG is, for the third week in a row in inept game shape.
I did contact the owner repeatedly, but no answer, my only hope is that he gets kicked out of cup and he doesn't play him anymore... I don't know what else to say.

Just FYI

He hasn't logged in since September 7th, so perhaps he quit the game.

What is the procedure if a team goes bot? Do you have to request for him to be released from his team? Or will he automatically go up for sale?
