not sure who fosco is but he ain't mine ;)

I tried to sell a guy last week for 2.2 without luck and then last night a guy with almost identical skills but 40k higher salary sells for 2.3 .... go figure. But it is getting to the stretch run for playoffs now so prices should start slowly creeping up for a little bit now

and asghari is currently at 13k so looks like he will be finding a new home early Wednesday morning .... could he bounce back in the the ABBL AGAIN????

Sorry Trikster, Fosco belongs to BHB

Wouldnt be surprised if Asghari was acquired by one of the teams in the ABB

Maybe those fighting it out this season but he is a bad long term investment. Next season his skills will be dropping and so will his value, however as a "rental" he could be fantastic, he has been the best player on Koops 12-4 team.

So Koops, why at 12-4 are you selling your best player? Don't tell me you are going to tank out the season?????

No I need to upgrade my players to beat WA is a dump.... so trying to sell up and save a few weeks of salary before I buy a team in the final week for the playoffs.

Need every penny I can muster up to buy some big rental players.

Damn you Monkey! why do you always PAN against me?! lol

That is respect. But that is also any faint hope of 5th gone. Now it is just a matter of can you hold off Zazz and Iwen and who do you want to face out of C-Cat, Hadders or Sid? Personally I think they all smell.

Actually it was a great and exciting weeknight all around.

Wombats took down BLS who are probably keeping everthing for the big cup match.

In a MASSIVE result WB took down WA IS A DUMP on TV despite, "WA IS A DUMP put more into this game than Whitebeard". That looks ominous for Bryce Gibbs.

BHB spanked me. Yawn, sorry everyone.

Pancakes took out Hadders who also probably want to give the cup final their best shot.

The other TV game was exactly the same with the lower seeded team upsetting the higher ranked team despite again, "Bell Park SuperCats put more into this game than Baxter Bogans".

Koop probably slightly tricked HA into thinking it would be a tougher game and didn't play his stars who were up for sale (avoiding injuries and so they would have minutes available) so he was spanked. This does give Sid a hold on 5th...for now.

Monkey normalled DFBS, nice one!

The game that should have been the biggest of the round with Iwen and Zazz fighting to avoid automatic relegation saw Zazz go down without a fight. It is looking more and more like she is accepting the 8th spot which is terrible news for two of C-Cat, Hadders and Sid.

Five games to go and there is just two games betwen first and 5th in the Big 8 while the last three are in a life and death struggle. In the Great 8 there is a brutal fight for 5th and Koop and BHB should be careful they don't slip cause the standard of teams is going up.

Exciting.

Exciting but starting to look a little inevitable

Iwen is picking up DFBS quickly but I dont think he will catch DFBS for 6th. DFBS has invested heavily and looks likely to be favoured with HCA in one relegation series against Hadders.

CCat has a far superior draw than HA. They have HCA next game against HA and then play BHB who are likely to be without the 163K Kuman and the 191K Fosco.

HAs likley opponent in the other relegation series appears likley to be Iwen. Zazz has made no effort to buy players and appears content to take their millions down to div 2 and continue to concentrate on developing their youngsters.
Iwen is effectively 2 games behind Zazz but his draw is a lot more favourable.

Whitebeard who have performed above their players salaries all season just might have a bit of coin left and I reckon might perform a repeat of last season buying in a rent a beast for the finals

To complete the picture seeing there have been a lot of changes:

Total Salaries in Season 18
# Team Players Salary Tot Average Std Dev.
01. WA IS A DUMP (38870) 11 $ 825 264
02. Billy Hoyles Boys (38695) 12 $ 762 791
03. Lewisham Wombats (38600) 14 $ 757 275

15. Zazzocalypse (38844) 12 $ 232 913
16. Chelsea Seagulls (196950) 11 $ 228 686

Look at Hadders! I wouldn't say Da Fat Boy Slim has a certain win over him by any means, I wouldn't even stake my life on BLS beating him in the cup, although if Hadders does win it will be the biggest Cup upset ever.

Whitebeard is as you have said, doing it really well with a very cost effective roster. Same goes for Monkey Biz. Koop is now 2/3 of the way into tank land. Zazz does seem to have joined Chelsea at the salary floor for the rest of the seaon, how strange when really she just needs 2-3 wins to avoid automatic relegation.

That figure is wrong. Its about $ 80k short. =P

Honestly I'm surprised with the result given my recent loss to Hadders in the cup. I had my 140k PG out injured so effectively it was my 480k salary team vs WA's 820k salary team. Prior to this game I was thinking about selling down a bit for the rest of the season but after this win who knows...

No doubt things are starting to heat up especially those who are near relegation.
