never sell players at the end of the season is my new motto.. that is when you buy buy buy :D I also think Atoy's piss poor primaries contributed to his low sale price, which was the reason i sold him..

If i were you stazza, i would cut the shit out of my staff salaries and bank that extra coin.. drop your PR manager and Doctor down a level.. if you can wipe 20k off your staff salaries, in 10 weeks that is another 1000 bleachers for your stadium!

Strategise with your game tactics as well.. Start using TIE and CT a bit. Like with your game against Hippos, if you know you cant win, TIE, build up your enthusiasm, so when you have a game you think you can win, Crunch Time it and try to steal the win... Or, keep that enth maxed for the upcoming relegation battle. Your teams enthusiasm at the end of the season, could be the difference between being in div 3 or 4 next season :D

My motto on Enth is this:

TIE = Norm
Norm = CT
CT = HOLY BEJESUS I NEED THIS WIN!!!

And you can quote me on this

The people that he can afford to cut this season are his Doctor and PR manager like you said because he will get the attendance boost for the promotion. And i do feel sorry for you Stazza for 2 reasons, 1. You were put into one of the hardest III's in Australia (Although this can be a good thing if you win it because you will have a higher quality side if you promote to Div II) and 2. You were put into the BIG 8 which is considered considerably harder that the GREAT 8.

But hope is not all lost however, even if you lose the relegation battle ALOT of teams go bot and open up slots for other teams to fill i.e. the active DIV III teams so you could still be here at the end even if you dont do to well...

Maybe Dire can move him to the GREAT 8

Cheers mate,

1) I did mention this tactic (upgrading arena incrementally) to the forum and one of the lads said I'm better off not doing so if I'm not filling my stadium each week.

2) great, so it's just like Battrick in that regard, the timing on the TL is everything.. bummer :(

Yea I like the interaction in this league and you guys are alright so I'm enjoying it, I'd prefer to stay up!

That sounds like the way to go mate, I might have to start chopping away at my staff

I have already started doing that with enthusiasm - the games I thought I could win (ie. Boganators) I set to Crunch and the games against the teams ranked 1-5 or so I was gonna set to TIE and just take it like a b*tch hahaha

Hey mate, I didnt realise the BIG 8 was harder than the GREAT 8!

I think I'll just try to get the best I can our of my team this season and hopefully I'm still here talking to you guys next season lol

The Big 8 is much stronger than the Great 8 mate, other than myself and Be high and Sammy Dog who is starting to come to the ball game it's not much hype. I would look at waiting until the end of the season and assessing who you are going to be playing, then buy a seasoned vet to help you stay in the league, for a small amount of money you will keep your spot and you will have a position filled that you don't have now for a few more, assuming you get a 30/31 yr old.

The other comment, with you not filling your arena lower your prices slightly and increase your arena size. Long term it will save you money as you won't have to upgrade arena and buy players at the same time. Don't take my word as gospel of course, pick what tactics work for you as all the other guys do too. Just offering a different perspective.

Good luck with whatever decision you make though :)

ahhhh a loss tonite for me.

time to set tactics for the rivalry match with the Dreamers... he does appear to be tanking. however being rivals he will definitely try win. But to what end? CT? do i play outside despite the presence of Chan? my loss tonite and poor outside performance has made me hesitant to do so. even with the Dreamers losing Robinot they can still be devastating outside. then what enthusiasm to put in? is normal required to beat the depleted dreamers? or will TIE cut it even if Skyhook CT's?

some tough decisions for me

Mad Rangas v Orange Spartans looks and intriguing match

As does the Glory v CT Towers who i am a little surprised are bottom

Sammy v Be High will also be crucial in deciding a home court playoff game

C-webs v Zed's also looks a tight affair. Can C-web stop Pabich??? not sure they can

don't lose any sleep over our matchup bainsy, i havent yet thought about it :D

1) After the PL game tonite, i almost expect Ranga to hit the reset button... I would expect to see Spartans take the win here.

2) Glory have a well rounded roster, and i expect them to destroy Crunch Towers

3) Sammy is doing a much better job off the court than Be High... I would expect a blow out here...

4) C-web cant stop Plabich, but should win every other position.. if plabich gets in the zone, zed's will take it..

Stazzy.. take a look at the Great 8 standings.. In the big 8, i am 6th, in the great 8 i would be 4th with current standings..

spend a bit more time on our game and less on the others, because they are some awful statements and i agree with 0 of them

edit: but seeing as Pabich is injured you get the last one

Hate to agree Dreamy but your off the mark I reckon..

Be high has proved that he has some worth even with his ol' roster, will do Sammy Dog because SDog hasn't got his stuff in order. I think Ranga will be fine against Sparta as I don't expect Capitan Ranga to sell for the specified price. The others? Well who knows, CRE is no longer CT towers, seems to be a bit more strategic but to what end..

Come on Great 8, pull your teams together, this is getting embarrassing! :p

fair enuff, i think maybe i got a bit excited with some comments. :D

1) I have no doubt Ranga will shift his focus to training, probably knowing he cant beat Beasts.. If he does, then he might sacrifice results to ensure his players get the training he wants. If Ranga decides to put training ahead of results, then i think Spartans could get the win, that is all i meant, i do not for 1 second think the spartans can beat the rangas, or come close to them, in an environment where both teams fielded their best teams and went all out for the W. If Ranga plays to win, he will destroy them...

2) Sammy vs Be High may not be a blow out, but Sammy is doing a far superior job off the court.. Remember, Be High has been in this league for 7 seasons, Sammy has been in BB for 3 seasons... Sammy has players under 20 getting trained, Be High has noone on roster younger than 24, and he isnt even getting trained, yet they are separated by %

3) By saying Glory have a well rounded roster, i simply mean that he lacks a superstar player.. I never said his players were good, just meant all his positions are covered by players on similar salaries... Glory's primary issue is, all his players are 32+. needs to fix that ASAP and get some trainees going before those skills hit the skids....

4) C-web - sorry i think i looked at wrong roster there... I think i looked at CT.... But zed should prolly beat C-web, i am surprised C-web is ahead of Zed and CT...

So again, i concede i was a bit excited on some points..

i think outside of Blaze, the great 8 is 90% at div 4 level, with 1 or 2 rare exceptions, aka Plabich :D

not saying the dreamers are any better than any side here, we are definately at the bottom end, but i am comfortable with, and i think with the 3 trainees we have, long term we are in a decent position :D
