... which realy makes me wonder why you guys would want me to come back to the BBBL.

Some other team would have to make space.

Isn't it far more interesting to have other teams fight till the end to earn a place in there?

At this time there are about 20 teams in Belgium (raw estimate) who all would fit into the BBBL with their teams. Only 16 can be in it. So there is enough fight as it is....no?

you have already won the last 3 games we played. Haven't you had enough?
Where is your decency? ;þ


having potential U21 players isn't such a plus to enter the BBBL. It will cause tough choices.... go for the win, ...go for training... any game they go for the win, training might be lost, and this is not so good for U21 prospects.

ok.

but then NT players would be the optimal choice.

U21 players are not strong enough for a BBBL title. At least that's what I think...
And they deserve 100% focus on training, which is not possible if you want results.

Further, best payed players and best economy isn't all needed factors. Good tactician is also required.

Anyone can optimise his economy, and do the same tricks as the rest to improve economy.
Anyone can collect money untill they have , say 20M and then buy the best team in Belgium.
It doesn't make them win the title though.

alot of teams are optimizing their economy.

Ventola took 2 great blegian players, one of which is NT. (the other one is a guard)

Ximee has been looking around for Belgian NT centre for a while, and if things hadn't gone wrong, De Neef would have been in Ximee's team at the beginning of the season...

Sonics bought Hupez and Verelst. 5M for Hupez is not exagerated, but the 3.3M that was paid to get Verlest was greatly overpaid in my eyes by Sonics...
he swapt his old hortobagy for Verelst... anyhow, alot of teams are getting top belgian players. their is another big C from the belgian NT that should be going on the TL real soon...

Alot of teams are trying to catch up with Vottem. However, for the futur, once all the teams have gotten a decent merchandise, it will be impossible for the II teams to come back, and even for LoD it will be hard.
because either LoD goes with foreign players, which will means that he will have alot less merchandise per week.

OR, he'll have to pay some top dollars for the belgian prospects on the TL then and their, which won't be easy at all... (that is if LoD ever wants to go back...)

right now, alot of II teams need to get their hands on belgian players too, or they won't stand a chance to stay in the BBBL soon enough...

I like to have Belgian Players...
but they are hard to get.

I think Stonestars is fishing in the same pool as me...
Hope I will get one...

right... IF...

which isn't on my list 'to do' anytime soon.

I already payed a lot for a Belgian player (Sammy wasn't cheap for what he was) and I am starting my second level 6 trainer as well. These are investments I wouldn't be making if I was interested in winning titles.
I'm still happy with what I'm doing. So I'll continue doing that for a while longer.

If teams need NT players from their own country to compete with the top, or if those players make such a big diffrence, I'm sure the BBs will have to tweak on those in the future, as I don't think they will sit and watch a few teams build up a larger and larger gap, solely by having NTplayers. It would make NT managers too powerfull as well, as they can choose which teams will have the NT players. That is something nobody wants offcourse.

And finally: if all goes well, I'll have a Belgian NT player myself as well. ;þ
