I fully agree. Neudt had been perfectly trained, Nat has him trained out of position for a very long time, and still he succeeds in getting results and promotion to BBBL ...

Neudt was a monster in U21 but had flaws (passing if I recall well) I don't know his profile yet but I'm sure he'll be a regular NT starter within a short time span.

Back to topic, there are less and less good belgian players on the market. I was very fortunate to land in Claeys and Vaes, unfortunately Marichal isn't getting any younger and I'll have to think of his replacement some day or another, and I can tell it's a real pain in the ass. I don't seem to find a suitable replacement and may have to buy a foreigner ...

On the other hand the Greeks have a lot of nice players on the TL.
They're very expensive though.

If I continue like this I'll have more Greeks than Belgian players on my rosters.
I hope I don't regret this move later on though.

It's always better to buy home players, but no team is 100 % belgian.

Right now there are players with potential, but they're getting daytraded, or haven't been trained for a long time rendering their upper potential useless :/

Surely you must be joking, for this player is not BBBL worthy imho

Sure, he was a nice player. Maybe no difference maker, but a nice 5th man, or back up guard for BBBL standards.
Those are also important players in a team.

Anyway, thanks for the tip. Of course I was joking about adding more greek players to my roster.
It's pure coincidence that I have 3 of them right now. And last season I sold Christofilakis, that makes 4.

Oh, ok as a 5th man i agree. And yes, those can be important too. But no starting player.

I am sorry, but I totally disagree with your vision of a starting player.

I don't think it requires primaries at 17 to make a good starter player in BBBL, and I should more focus on multiskilling and overall balance.

These players are cheaper, thus enabling the dedicated trainer into pushing their primaries forward if they feel they need it, without breaking the potential barrier. And they get the job done, nothing fancy of course, but mission accomplished for a reasonable price.

Check my own team, my starter C costs 65 k / week. OK, his average perf on the season is 14, which is ridiculous in comparison with Claeys who is a confirmed 17. Except that the latter costs 3 times more per week ... When calculating spent money / performance, it is just not worth it.

If you want to win the B3, there is no room for Sekulic, but if you're in a tanking mood these players are an invaluable asset, enabling you to win your games at a lower cost.

Now, that's true, the starting 5 isn't so impressive, but saved money can get you a decent bench also. When the opponents' 200 k monster is out on low stamina, a good benchwarmer will always get the better over a crappy one.

I'm not claiming THE truth here, but MY truth of course, there are several ways to reach success , that would be boring a lot if everyone had the same strategy. And anyway no matter what yours or mine is, only Joe wins at this game :p
