hehehe now is the time to start fighting for 5th and avoid 6th in the big 8.

860k salary into 6 players...

he just needs a good guard now to make it a 7 man rotation in the PO.

Now the shoe is in the other foot. Last season the Great 8 teams watched as the Big 8 could tank just above Kynlala and bank millions all season while Hadders, Sid etc had massive rosters trying to avoid the deadly matchups. Lucky for Sid, Zazz didn't decide to just wipe the floor with him or it would have been three dead Great 8 teams. Being on the wrong side of a tanker or a bot is brutal when you are a marginal team fighting for the 5th-8th spots.

When was the last time a team won a relegation series without HCA in the abbl?

It would be a massive feat if slam! could do it. It'll either be BLS, DFBS, PBS or monkeybiz... none of them are marginal teams at all... well maybe except fatboy slim cos hes the newest.

I still feel like you'd back any one of those teams against Slam's current team with HCA. All of those teams are top quality, so Slam may be a bit unlucky in that respect (plus if any of his players get into foul trouble, he's stuffed).

That said, its not beyond the realms of possibility that Slam could make a play at 6th now. I'm sure C-Cat would want to avoid that though, so maybe he'll make a move soon to?

For what its worth, last time a team won without HCA was Zazz two seasons back

The match up last sesson with Zazz in a relegation series never stressed me for a second.

(Never slept for about 3 weeks leading into the series)

It seems somewhat unfair that Aydincilar's first game is against his old team ... but at least they know what his skills are and what to expect I guess :)

lol what better to way to beat an opponent then by using their own players against them.

dunno why you needed a 180k center though cos you got top 5 locked up pretty much with only 4 games remaining.

there is more to this game than finishing in the top 5. Maybe I' might actually try and have a crack for once ... I think the last 3 seasons I've tanked in to 5th, getting really boring, so thought what the hell, may as well buy a player and see what happens.

you should've thought about that before you went and poured in half a mil for Daniel Allegri!

hehehe but yeah I agree with you, it wont be fun if you dont have a go, but sometimes it pays to bid your time.

There is more to this game than top 5... 6TH!! try it. This season it is a real winner. So who will take one for the team and take 6th in the big 8? I really should take 5th as I feel I have a bit of ownership over it due to my many finishes there. I will let everyone else take the other spots this season. ;)

why? I needed to start on my next generation and he seemed like a good place to start. I'd have to mess up pretty badly to not get at a minimum a long term starter. And it's not like my team is crap at the moment that I need to buy 2-3 players to have a go.

I think 3 seasons of tanking for 5th is enough ;) and if I don't get close then so be it, not like I wont be able to use him next season ;)
