Actually I believe you Sid


Thanks mate


ABBL apart from the cash doesnt mean a lot to me at this stage because my team just wouldnt be competitive and its something Ive done before and opted to drop out of.

There is the rational/logical side of me that knows that div 2 is the right place to be for my trainees and then there is this "competitive/beastly side of me which has appeared a few times this season.

My Logical side knows that beating Team Akuma and stopping Duffill and Smeltz going back to the ABBL would be like "killing Bambi" and would therefore be wrong to do, yet the beastly side of me enjoys the thought of it

Lol the bloke who bought Luster went bankrupt, apparently Luster is cursed. Wouldnt be surprised if some noob bids one million on him.

Makes sense as to why someone would bid on a 200K plus player with a 2 week injury at this time of year. (they wanted to go bankrupt)

Will there be a residual "luster" effect on Team Akuma?

One of the other reasons I can be a bit indecisive is that I also try to stick to the philosophy that if the market is up I sell but if it is down I buy.

You forgot to mention the opponents.

You got Corio Bay Giants 9-11 and Fashion Victims 3-7.

Whilst Akuma has Northcote Slammers and Hadders Heros who are both on 14-6 records.

Very big discrepancies, something that HCA might not even overcome.


Yeah it's going to be very tough to stay ahead in PD given that Hadders and Northcote and Mangaloids are fighting for second and third spot. I wouldn't be surprised if either of them normal me. I am going to have to give them an absolute spanking to stay ahead of HA (which is just about impossible) since he's playing against teams that are essentially tanking.

I'm not giving up though, doing everything I can to keep the dream alive!

Ive mentioned before about being in 2 minds as to whether to try for promotion or sell off.

Something that might just influence me to go all in, is when I accidentally bid on a great Aussie player, whilst attempting to bookmark him.

A lot of Aussie players on the Transfer Market at the moment and I went through and bookmarked about 6 or 7 of them, some how I actually bid on one without realizing it.

Could have been worse it could have been one of the ridiculously overpriced ones instead of good old Duncan Cranshaw.

Might need to be in the ABBL to support his salary along with my existing Aussies

Wow guys, I think HA is trying to hint at something here.

How on earth do you "accidentally" bid on someone while you were bookmarking them?
I thought you were a very experienced manager?

I must say, I can't compare the level of experience I have with you - but even I have never made such a mistake.

I guess if I forget to put up Linares for auction and accidentally buy another player or two, and promoted I guess it wouldnt be too bad of mistake to make.

Maybe I should go looking for other players to accidentally bid on.

Perhaps you should buy Mottram (10839063) and the Australian Centre Jalajamani (14003368) to make sure of a promotion?

Again, at the risk of sounding like his fanboy, I will step in an defend him. When I was the coach of the India U21 and was adding and dropping players to the team like crazy (often at the start of the season about 200 players!) I several times bid on those ones that were on sale, don't think I ever bought any but it was annoying as heck and when you are tired, multi-tasking watching the NBA and doing very repetetive tasks it is easy to forgetfully press the wrong button. I also added a player during the season by accident who I was just trying to advertise. Maybe I am just a silly Yoda.

Dont know how i did it and I certainly dont remember doing it but after bookmarking several aussie players I went to the "Manage My Team" page and found out Id bid on one.

Could have been a lot worse I could have bid on someone who was way over priced

Maybe I should subconsciously accidentally bid on Sikko Karreman (8156743) as well

Hang on did I bid on that player or not, no I think I just bookmarked him

Bad game shape, not worth it.
