I consider that Cup is the best way... to lose money.

Especially when you go 'out' in the first round ! (50 000 every week)
But on the other hand 'Training' was never so intense as this season and we could concentrate our efforts in the competition. (We didn't perform well there either....but that's another story...)
I hope we can stay in BBBL to proof Obira is growing. We must be ready in three seasons.
When (if) we go down....we must sell some players....and maybe we can start allover again)

it's not that simple.


cup is only profitable if you actually WIN it. That price money is good, the rest of it is peanuts.

but there is an other aspect. BBBL teams (teams in the highest league(s) are penalised in fanmood if the get icked out early) so up to a certain round, a BBBL team has to try to win it. If you are lucky you get small teams and bots and you indeed can arange minutes in that game.
If you are unlucky though, you need your guns in that game, and minutes arrangement is difficult that week.
This results in a weakened team afterwards, which could mean diffrence between win and loss. But loosing the cup also means less money, and believe me, the 50k each week is not what you are worried about...

later on in the cup, the choices get more difficult offcourse...

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

managing minutes and training both isn't that easy when you need to keep your good team for last.

it gets easy if it doesn't matter which players yuo play and where, so you can see which players have had how many minutes and then put them in the roster to receive optimal minutes.

however, if you need a good line-up in the last game, you have to predict the minutes in the other games, and when something unexpected happens, you don't have the last game to compensate, as you need your best line up in that game.

That's what I meant...

something unexpected...like three overtimes against SSS.
All players played about 15 minutes too much...
Afther that you have to play a team without an owner (still a good team)...and you take a risk....you loose...and two days later this team becomes a bot team...
It hurts...

I know I could win.
I didn't expect you to play with Lahure...because he allready played 48 minutes.
Piano played more because of the injurie of Rombaut...
I did'n expect you to play normal. ...and don't forget I had an injurie too. + today one more.(outside problem)
My best player almost didn't leave the bench....I wonder why. (because when I didn't want him to play too much
(Obira - Liege)...he refusted to go on the bench .
Lao Ché was out after 8 minutes (3 fouls)....and my plan was doomed.

I said it before: This season sucks !

I don't know if it's been a miracle because you've made the right tactical choices while SoS has tried to looooook iiiiiiinnnside unsuccessfully :(


I don't know if we can call that a "miracle" but for sure, moreover to have a great team, Vottem are quite lucky ;-)
After the second quarter it was still going fine and i thought it was logical and that victory will be at the end... but after 2 inside players at 6 faults and an injured inside player... not very easy to play inside anymore... moreover in front of the good defense tactic...
Let's hope it will compensate one day or the other regarding the luck... because after the unlucky defeat against Phoenix, already 3 injuries this seasons, one badbeat against a dumb kamikaze weak team in cup... i think that i've already been well served this season...
Nevertheless, there is a good part in all bad events... the minutes and the training, thanks to all those events, will be perfect this week :-)
I wish more luck than i am having for the moment to everybody (and double draft to my unlucky friend Obira ;-))!
