you will only end up with 3 mill at the end of the season at that rate. not enough to counter the $10mill that someone else here has.

It's ok, I don't intend on actually having anything other than a 0 in the W column, which means I won't have a chance even if I did decide to buy up.

Looking forward to training my young guns and watching the rest of you lot jostle for position this season.

Hopefully I'll land in a nice Div III league and bounce back up after a season or two. Training wise I probably won't be able to afford Div III income for more than two seasons, based on where I expect my two guards to be by then.

i put my bigs overpriced and managers stil bid on them
its not my intention to sell them lol

You did get quite a nice amount of cash for them they must have been pretty nice players

One day I hope to find out what it's like to have some cash in the account :P

If it wasn't your intention to sell them why did you transfer list them in the first place? :p

they were good but they were still overpiced :) well the
plan was put the overprice and see what happens and end up my C sold twice as much as i bought him and my pf 200k more which was still pretty good :p i ill prolly get smash on our game lol

The last player I sold was old, before putting him up for $1, I tried $350k. Funny enough he ended up selling for just under $350k, so pretty happy with that. I was gonna fire him if he didn't sell.

Personally I think Sundae's made some good moves there. Already picked up an $80k player and another for less than the promotion money he earned. Still got a bit in the bank to put together a team that will stay up this season in my opinion.

Care to make any early predictions on who will be in the relegation spots (and relegation playoff spots)?

(Apart from yourself. :p)

It's near on impossible to guess correctly what the end of the season will look like, based on how teams look right now. All of the new teams have money to spend and either have been or will shortly be making improvements to their teams. Then there are teams like the Windies and PPH who merely scraped through last season, who no doubt also have some cash to spend. Until teams commit to this season, it's pretty much a waste of time trying to predict anything so early on.

I will tip HA for the title though. Hadders would be the only true rival I see in the Great 8 but I don't think he's quite ready to spend his money, personally I see him a season away. Corio on the Big 8 would have to be the most upset by HA's arrival, being the one most likely primed and ready to go this season. They may postpone a season and end up going head to head with Hadders next season. Akuma looked good in his first season but generally a team that goes well in their first promotion season doesn't always suggest an improvement in the 2nd season. He did make a wise decision to tank early and could also have some cash stocked to give the Great 8 conference a fair shake.

Appreciate Vios efforts with the "pants down review".

Would love some one to frame a market on the championship but failing that how about we each give odds as to our chances and then justify those odds.

I'll start with myself.

Odds for HA to win the championship 3 to 1 (against)

Reasons for
Have a deceptively good value for money roster and have the cash and experience to win and could very well start to miss the big bucks of the ABBL.

Reasons Against
Am keen to continue training young Aussie players, and wouldnt be able to train them properely if I really tried to push.

Will be spending 5 weeks in China during the season and whilst I should be able to set teams etc I wont really have time to focus as would be required to be a true competitor.

Am intent to preserve the vault - No challenge if I used it (would border on unsporting) and I want to keep it intact for if and when I do return to the ABBL

Havent really studied all the teams but have a gut feel Avalon Jets might try and push for promotion this season.
