It's actually surprising how many people under estimate the value of gameshape, even at an ABBL level i think.

Stamina is undervalued far more in my opinion but that's a different matter altogether :P

Good morning to everyone,

I just received my team last night so you could say I am as new as they get

I seem to have about 16 players on my roster and from what I have read this is way too many. Was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of who to get rid of. Am going through the tutourial at the moment and have fired two players who were role players, seemed to be the lowest out of all my team.

Anyway great being here and looking forward to fun times ahead.

Thanks

Michael

anyone with under 3k salary fire straight away... dont know the skills of ur other players but that is a start... you start with more than enough money to find decent replacements

Well only having their salary showing doesn't help but it looks like you got a bad starting team.

Solid players based on their salary alone look like Willy Edwards, Ngake Blackmore and Ramsey Pioquid. The rest bleh!

For training - the most important thing for a new team - only two guys are remotely trainable, Cecil Mirich and Willy Edwards.

This means you have probably only 4 players worth keeping, but look for defence, players with respectable defence may have a role to play still.

For the rest of your team, sort by salary, everyone under $3,000 sack them right away unless they have respectable defence, even then I would probably sack them.

Then for the rest, look as their Transfer Price Estimate, if it says something like "rarely sell for more than a few thousand $" or $1,000 - $3,000 then sack them right away.

You have $250,000 starting cash, with this you can make a solid starting team easily. If you want more details, let me know.

you have drafted 2 very nice looking big men. they will be the core of your team so I would advice you to sell Chad Longhurst for some quick cash since you wont be training him as you will be training big men in Cees Jan van Engelen and
Vittorio Noviello. what I would advice you to do is to go out and spend the remaining of your money on 1 very good big man trainee. good starting main + secondaries skills, potential etc. since your playing in a IV so you wont be needing any good veterans as you will be most of the time - bashing bots... which can be done with 4k players... about getting that last trainee, let me know, dont be hasty and make a wrong decision. you will probably be able to get a very big trainee with the starting money you got. you would preferably want to get a Trainee with at least inept/mediorce in passing to keep those TO down and get his assist up or train them up in passing even though it would be slow due to their height. but I wouldnt worry if your current trainees dont have much in their passing department but they will be great as the core of your team.

I never said that. Just letting everyone know that there is another option out there as well.

Also trying to promote the community at the offsite forum as much as possible as well. It's done wonders for the national teams and starting to really help increase the strength of Australia overall i think.

Haha sorry, way too hard to pick sarcasm on the internet sometimes. Someone really needs to invent some sort of
