I think that would be interesting, it seems that he has you wondering now, CT or no CT, hippos, beasts? Whatever the outcome I look forward to seeing how your side of the ladder works out, I think ours should pretty much sit as is, having played MM already I should be able to make it through reasonably unscathed. The temperature is heating up boys!

"imagine if the rangas finished on top and won the lot"
hahaha why are people even worrying about me and my band of merry little rangas.
we are but a small and humble team, and we don't have an endless supply of enthusiasm to just throw around you know!
and besides I'm no match for the beasts.

I'm excited that my country rank has just jumped to 166. 1 season ago i was in the 400's.

anyways, 5 games to go, good luck to everyone.
but i'm thinking we'll see Beasts Vs Blaze in the Final Series, and Blaze will have HCA.
Interesting indeed.

You could be higher than me with that rank, I was into the top 100 when I made div II, but its below my div III level now. :(

Nope I'm 144...close though.

ACT will win this season, leaving the league open for my return... :P

I think it will be ACT v Beasts in the finals with ACT winning, but I will be doing everything I can do to make it ACT v Hippopotamouses with Wagadugu coming out as champions.

Donny if you come back here you wont find things as easy as when you left. Several teams are MUCH better so I hope you are hoarding all that mountain of cash you are generating. You will be facing at least one of the Beasts or Blaze and you will need it.

PS: Back on top. :)

i think we gotta remember, yes alot of teams in this league have improved, but so has Donny..

What i think we're also forgetting, is Donny dominated this league last season.. So the question is, have we bridged the gap, or has Donny gone further ahead thanks to his extra $$$ and things.

Also not only is he stronger, but i am guessing he is a hell of a lot smarter after playing in Div 2 for a season..

As for me, finally happy to get a nice new PG who will enable me to mix it up a bit more than i have :D

That was my PG! I had a bid on him but then had to go and do things, when I came back you had him! Funny we were both bidding on the same guy. I also had a lot more money so if I had been around I could have gone much higher. Second guy I missed out on today because I couldn't be at the close of the auction.

Valentin Robinot (10782558)
Point Guard
Owner: Skyhook Dreamers
Weekly salary: $ 23 502
Age: 25
Height: 6'2" / 188 cm
Potential: MVP
Game Shape: strong

I can probably even tell everyone his stats...but I wont.

The other thing for Donny is though that he will have to be aware of the "salary cap". When he drops down his income will be decimated and most teams aren't making that much money. Ok teams like you and Rangas are making crazy amounts and I am doing ok but look at the average.

Rangas/Skyhooks +150-200K a week
Hippopotamuses - Typical Weekly Net Income: $ 116 079
League - League Average Net Income: $ 74 395
So some teams are making very little.

that is OUTRAGEOUS :D

Funnily enough, i only placed 1 bid and won... the price of guards is DEFINITELY on the way down after being sky high all season.. The fact you bidded on him, tells me i signed a good PG :D Had you been around to bid, i can guarantee you would have got him lol. He has his weaknesses for sure, but DAMN he adds alot to this team right where i needed it.

116k is pretty good.. i was makin around the 100k per week mark but drop down to 77k.. hopefully with this guy on board we can win a few games and get some fans into the arena and get back the difference :D

The plan was always to wait till nearly end of season and assess b4 spending any money.. I cant fill my stadium now, so didn't see need to invest there.

yeah have a look at some teams stadiums, they are still tiny, and until they fix that they are doomed.. some of those guys need to do what i did, sell there $$ players, invest in arena and re-boot... it has paid off handsomely for me in 1 season :D

Agree, that was exactly what I did last season. Mid-season I looked at the Dons, said I can't beat them, sold all my non-core players and built my stadium and saved.

By the way I got a very similar player. Better JS, JR and OD but worse PA, HA and DR so really quite close. But I really like his defence, will give me someone who can actually match up with the dominant guards for the Beasts and Rangas. I previously was stuck around sensational OD so this feels much better.

38k a week here, so not as much money as I would like but still a profit none the less. I am not scared of any guys in this league....when I am at home!! On the road it becomes a different ball game, I mean come on HCA is the death of all of us.

Nice buy guys, certainly making your small guys stronger but lets hope my training regiment can keep Neil, Jacek and Kerry above the pack..

5 games remaining and I have no idea what the order is going to be!!!

Worst case scenario is bainsy somehow gets first. If that happens MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON US ALL

When the Beasts Roar all in the way shall be struck down!!!!!

i am sure neil is better than the guy i just bought, but what i just bought helps us out in multiple ways... Also, with only 10 players i was a man or 2 down in rotation, so this eases that burden.

to me the top 3 is sorted.. bainsy got off to a horrible start to the campaign dropping games he should have won, and despite valiant attempts, he has never recovered..

i am still training my bigs, atoy is starting to make a solid contribution and the other 2 are coming along nicely..

funny tho hippos, we both get to try our new guys out against each other lolz :D

glad ur happy with ur guy, but scoring wasnt what i wanted from this kid, scoring is what chan is for...
