I humbly admit that my english is not immaculate.
I also have no problems to admit a mistake should someone else provide convincing arguments.
You, however, provide none.

There are two possibilities for your reply:
A: i was indeed out of line and the reprimand neccessary (nobody else seemed to think so, including the person i replied to) or
B: You see it as your divine mission to put others that violate the rules you imposed on everyone else into their place by making them aware of your moral and intelectual superiority.

Your reply fits into B:

If someone laughes at you you can reinflate your scratched ego by:
1. Make fun out your opponents shortcomings like foreign language skills - check
2. Repeat your statements, the more often you do it the more true they become - check
(some humility would be good for you too)
3. Ignore all arguments, they just distract from your mission - check
4. The rules you set for others dont apply for yourself - check
(derogative comments about a player someone trained for 11 saisons without offering any reason or point of view is much more demeaning in my book than a question about a trade deficit.

a comment which is personal and is clearly demeaning towards the other person is a low blow. And if that's allowed, so are my replies.

I wonder how you would have reacted if the player in question would have been one of yours...)
5. Your own experience is universally applicable to anyone else, research is just a waste of time - check
(The german fourth league i started in had 14 human managers, the playoff contenders had fully build arenas and 200k teams. I thought it more beneficial to invest in the draft, train and build my arena the first saisons than trying to force PO with some old players even though it now blemishes your idea of an immaculate track record)
6. Utter some gibberish to make the other one feel stupid when he does not get it - check
(what does: "Oh, and for the record your post was not directed at you either. Does that make us partners in crime? Shall we agree to not do this again, especially if we're not irreprehensible ourselves? Thank you for understanding." even mean?
My post was not directed at me? No, i dont tend to soliloquies)

Sorry for being offtopic again @everyone

On topic:
It is a pity that Heak does not consistently play in the team setting he was made for, that would give much more info than some NT minutes.

he will be foul prone not because of SB, but rather because of the face he was born with. The scowl sporting fellows were born with a tendency to foul. I will have the same challenges with the hairless wonder I drafted.

I agree. He has a fouling face, for sure.
But check out this terrified draftee from my main team.

Based on his face, I'm pretty sure he'd rather hide behind the scorer's table than go into the game when called upon.

Are you speaking of Humberto as the hairless wonder? Come on, man, he's still got some hair. You're going to make him self conscious.

Please remember that "number of players" is not the same as "number of players on the TL"
Most of those "new" SB builds are current training projects for their managers, just like your kid, and quite unlikely to be sold.

You do have a point with the diminishing return question. I am not sure how that works and if someone has insight please chime in. For skills like SB i dont see any evidence of diminishing returns, neither for RB. So how is PA working in this regard?
PA on C does not contribute to flow in a reasonable scale even when he has most assist in the game, so is it really checked only vs OD of the opposing C or team OD rating or something else?

PS: That "other" German is in my team btw. and yes, he is a valuable part of my team as a big man that can support a 3-2 zone defense while still being able to score.
