By the way, has anyone heard anything from Elmacca? He hasn't logged in since 21st December?

Hopefully he’ll return at some point, would be a great shame to see him go inactive

Good luck all.

I noticed that about Elmacca over Christmas, it's extremely unusual for him (never happened before). I do hope he isn't lost to us; if he is, I do hope he is ok.

An away win shooting 3-23 from behind the line and getting outrebounded by 20? Most definitely a repeatable formula for success that! But we'll take it..

The ElMacca on twitter is not our Elmacca so no closer to knowing if he'll come back / is ok sadly.

I also noticed a couple of other ex-EBBL teams went bot last week - Donny Hawks & Extremadabra. I don't like change / please can we stop this.

Game of two defences I think, both teams didn’t shoot well at all.

I can’t think of any other ways to contact / check Elmacca is ok, let’s hope he logs back in when he gets the email about being inactive for a few weeks.

I also realised Extremadabra went BOT after seeing one of his previous players on the transfer list. I didn’t notice Doncaster did though, that is a shame… Panathinikos Bristol who was in the EBBL last season only has a few days to log in too.

Such a shame we're losing so many former EBBL managers.

Panathinaikos Bristol sold all their players and now only have the 3 they drafted, I don't think they plan on coming back.

I worry about Elmacca, I'm sure he would have said something if he was leaving the game.

As for the league, feel my coach screwed me over a little bit as most of my bench played more minutes than my starters but a win is a win, and that's all that matters. Plus I'm top of the conference, I need to make the most of it while I can

So 2 games in and I'm first in the EBBL, I did not expect that! I don't expect it to last long as I've had a pretty easy first 2 games.

Still missing Elmacca (it's been almost a month now), but he has managed to go 2-0! I don't expect that to last after his GS takes a hit after his main guys play their 3rd game of the week tonight. Also surprised to see Vecx unbeaten with one of the lowest team salaries in the league, and then js8 is bottom at 0-2 with one of the stronger teams in the league! We could be in for a weird and exciting season!

One interesting thing I saw is that the top 4/5 attendance incomes for the first games were all on the blue side. Is the game biased towards that side or what!

Does anyone have any thoughts about the new tactic improvements? I know Vecx used OI a few times last season with some success, as well as Donkeys this season (to less success). II also getting a boost hopefully can offer a better alternative to inside offences now as well. I'm more hopeful the defences are better as only being able to choose between M2M and 3-2 isn't ideal in a inside dominated world.

I thought the changes to tactics weren't being introduced till mid-season.

I thought the tactic adjustments were from the start of the season but the new stamina system was after the allstar game?

You're right. I misread the news post.

Gutted to lose my uneaten streak to a non-shooting foul with 0 seconds left which gave the Whales free throws to win. Dexter Barral coming up clutch hitting both. To be fair, I was expecting to lose pretty comfortably so losing by 1 point I'll take.

I didn't notice the tactic changes, but I got so bored of the LI thing that I've been playing with alternatives; now it's actually worth doing!

As for salaries... they aren't everything
