I regularly quizzed my opponents in U21, and I'm yet to meet a manager (other than Wolph!) who thought it gave any advantage at all.

The absolutely insane thing about this Wolph is that you talk about it like it's a "tactic".
Ummm... no.
It's the complete absence of.

It's an exploit. It's the Game Engine not working as intended.

Look: be my guest. Play your B3/League matches with blank line-ups. Go nuts.
But YCs been VERY clear on his intent to not do this. You disagree, and that's your prerogative... just as it's t he prerogative of anyone else to disagree with your stance.
Can you stop pushing it here tho'? That topic's been dealt with by the current coach, and it's a stance that appears to have the support of the majority of those posting here.

"Getting mad"? "Upset"? Sorry wolph, that's simply not happening.
I don't know if you want that kind of impact, but honestly, I'm pretty blase about any and all things BuzzerBeater. Most of what you've said is only getting a response from me one step above complete apathy.

Tell you tho': your posts aren't coming across as simply "giving info".
This is the way they look...

W: we should use blank line-ups for the U21s.
YC: Nah man, I'll be setting line-ups.
W: They totally work. Huge advantage. Great strategy.
YC: ...
W: All of B3 are using them. Everyone who wins does this.
YC:...
...
...


That's it simply.

I agree with you that it's worthy of debate, I just don't think this is the thread. Feel free to make a new one, and I'll happily partake in discussion there.

Slightly deluded view of what's gone down, but whatever...

Here are some direct quotes for your reading pleasure...
YC:
Hell NO!!! I will not use a Blank Line up....

No way that game is that close with a Blank line up.

For me...I would rather be the pilot instead of the Co-pilot...that is just how I roll.


National Team Manager Taiyo:
I'm officially in the camp of blank line-up is a bad idea.

Here is my only point. If Ferland is Yoks best big and it played him at SG, to me that is all I need to see. If I have to make corrections to the stupid AI Robot(you said that I would have to run a semi-blank line up for this), then to me it is not worth even running it. If the AI would run a big at SG in the 1st place and give the other team a miss-match, I say NO THANK YOU.
He'd also like to not run LI

BTW...I have changed my stance on this...before each game I send out a No LI mail...if I get a response, I don't play it...If I don't, I know a LI is coming...and I run it...
I can tell you this...
Swoosh at my house tomorrow on TV with a NO LI agreement...Should be fireworks...
