Great writeup Vios. As for the MVP it always seems to be a combination of stats, rating and wins. Looking at ratings three guys stand out a mile, François Navarro of the Mages, Tomé Salgueiro from Haggards and my own Jared Sherwin who averaged 16, 15 and 15 ratings this season and are also on teams that factored very highly in the wins totals. However when it comes to stats it is hard to equal Bozo who was 4th in the league in both scoring and rebounds. You know I also think that Adrian Shortall is an incredible player 5th in scoring, 9th in rating but Beechys record will count against him.

I'm pretty certain that rating doesn't hold too much stead when it comes to MVP, though i'm sure it's probably considered. In the seasons where Bozo won previously he was never even in the top 5 for rating. One season he was even south of top 10. I think games won/ladder position has a large influence, as well as stats. Last season Bozo's stats were around the same as previous seasons but I failed to make finals and he finished 6th. The two seasons he won I finished 2nd and 1st on the ladder. This season i'm 3rd so it will be interesting to see.

Players that stand out based on my theory are Haci Mahfer, I think Moosa probably finished too low to stand out. Salgueiro is looking pretty solid and with 2nd place should poll well, as will Sherwin for similar reasons. Beechy has two guys up there (Shortall/Conglei) but due to his lack of winning this season, neither has any chance. Vic's talks up Lefevre, but I think he's a bit short on stats to get the big one, even though "Shady's" lads finished 2nd seed.

I'm always interested to see who wins, trying to figure out the system for selection.

Phillips is on my team, do you mean Gonzalez or Shortall?

Ah yeah, my bad. I meant Shortall, always get those two mixed up for some reason.

yeah, they do sound the same after all

Nice work again. Just when there is not much going on you come up with this stuff. Yes it might seem like I have become a slave driver with my players. As I stated at the start of the season in a thread I have made plenty of mistakes and one of them was selling my bench to try and promote. No good. Better for the experience. It will be more evenly spread in the coming seasons.

Maybe it's that they both have curly blonde hair and play SF... :-P

@Moosa - Yeah I don't find as much time to do the write ups, though I still enjoy it when I do. I like to get the league leaders up at the end of the season, though I think I missed last season.

This games a good blend of managing, timing and luck. You need to do well with all of them to progress or you may end up getting stuck like Beechy did. There comes a time when all teams will have to seriously consider selling up and rebuilding, in or order to get better. Personally I try to keep a relatively young team but I've never made ABBL, so i'm no expert.
