Yeah I have no idea, that season is weird.

looks like youll have (172546)

i get the season 20 champ, defenders (185864)

not my first choice, to say the least

Well, if you beat him, then you should have a much easier time in your bracket.

I'm not training GS, but fixing that 4 GS guy would be amazing.

doesnt look good, his team is loaded. his salaries arent huge, but the players are all freak multi-skilled types that are worth millions each. very expensive roster.

GS would be tempting if I was you

Without training GS he goes to like 6...maybe 7. With training, he goes to 7 or 8?

My opponent has great GS and it looks like he's doing training this week, so his GS should drop to more normal levels.

Highly doubt you'd get that much of a pop on his GS. He has two bad weeks baked in so I'd say 7 would be a victory even if you trained GS but I'd expect a 6 if I were you.

lol yeah, desperation, still most of his salary is in SB, so i wouldn't be too concerned. Realistically i've been meaning to buy a PF and an all-around guard for a while now and have just not been active enough buy anyone.

and boom, down goes my best big after 7 minutes. lol

Guess I got pretty lucky, he's at 7 GS now. I'll take it.

I find myself in a posistion that I don't think I have ever been before in this game, and that is knowing that no matter what I do the rest of the season, I will be back in Div II next year. I don't want to leave a bad taste with anyone up here since I imagine most of you take this game somewhat seriously, as I do. I've always sort of dislike the idea of tanking, and there have been times in the past where I have been upset at other managers towards the end of the season for doing so. At the same time, I find that I need to train some players out of posistion to hopefully improve my team going forward.

My game strategy from this point out is going to play a training lineup for home games. I will be more than happy to tell you in advance what that lineup in going to be - it will be safe to assume though that it will involve 3 or 4 reserves and one or two starters playing out of posistion for training. For road games, you will continue to see my normal starting lineup and reserves, minus the center that I sold today. His backup role will go to Elam, the 30k a week Div III stud. My game enthusiasm will be to TIE for both home and road games. If this strategy is going to cause an unfair situation for somebody as it relates to playoff seeding at some point, please communicate it to my through the forums and e-mail so that I'm not being unfair to someone. Hopefully, I will be back up here after next season and can give some of you a more competitve matchup. It has been an eye opening experience to say the least.

I will continue to do everything I can to win cup games, the extra revenue is a nice bonus. While I don't think I can win it all, it would sure be nice to at least make the Final Four. Good luck the rest of the way everyone.
