Hi all!

Thanks a lot for the infos and the analyse Joe, very useful for newcomers like me! :-)

According BB, the third team in Belgium ! BC FTA has no great player but a deep roster before selling 3 players for 1,8M. I don’t know what will be the goal of Franck Drebin (I’m a big fan of Leslie Nielsen :D) and how is his economy, but Franck will have to make many adjustments to stay in BBBL.

First of all, Leslie Nielsen is a legend! ;-)

...and well, as this is my first visit ever to the BBBL, I obviously need to work on many things, the first step was to do a first clean up of my roster. That is done and I now have a little bit of cash ahead.
Not enough to build a very good team of course, but maybe enough to at least try to avoid relagation...
Tanking is very tempting, but this is just a game after all, so why not trying to win games and stay in the top league?

Btw...I'm only ranked as the fourth Belgian team now...very very disappointing! haha...I truly have now idea how I got the third place behind Vottem and Mizu, but it was funny to discover that I moved past AmenRa!

I do know that it's a big challenge for my team to stay in BBBL, especially since I am in the "great eight" side of the division, but we'll see...I expect to have a very tough first month because I won't rush into any impulsive purchase. So, unless a nice opportunity comes up, I'll have to be patient to find the right player(s) and til' then, play with a very limited (talent wise) team.

Also, I am happy to be in the same division as Obira and KV again, they are both responsible of the fact that I did not promote to BBBL before! ;-)

...And of course, I'm glad to be the third team representing the south of the south of the country!...until Royal Canin and Radiations come back!
I voted AmenRa for the championship btw...no offense Mizu! ;-))

Nice to see you again Frank ;)

And thx for the summary Joe!
I will be very glad if i can actually end on that 5th spot!

Well... I kinda stumbled in BBBL so I think the 8th place wont be far off my expectations... Didnt play alot of BB last seasons so didnt really change my roster alot. Ill see what I can do. Got not much time to adjust so Ill see what I can adjust the next weeks to try and stay in BBBL. Not very realistic but who knows. Im aiming for a good draft thats for sure :-)

Probably going for a good core of players (based on partly my current roster) and add young talents along with them. Will be balancing between being competitive (probably for second division, not realistic in first I think but Ill try) and giving great training. Got tons of experience now so Ill try to redo my training seasons from like 5 seasons ago again in a good way now.

After all who cares, as long as we are having fun.


Edit: Btw, its really nice to see alot of teams Ive seen in various lower division over the past four years. Nice to be in the top division for once, coming from 4th. Nice to see the buidling pays off one day even though Im not that active anymore due to work etc...

Tho it wouldn't surprize me if Mizu decided to push the make-over button on his team some time soon. All his starters are between 28 and 31, and he hasn't got a BBBL starter worthy player that is younger than 27y olds (and doesn't look like he's training one either). So sooner or later, Mizu will have to rejuvenate his team, which means he'll have to rebuild it. Should be interesting to see how Mizu will retool.

i must say i have many tempting options ahead. on one end, i still have a competitive squad that could last for another full bbbl and cup season ; on the other end, i have cash and i could buy one or two prospects to assure the team's transition ; but i could also try to build a team that could bring me far in the B3. who knows, maybe i'll never a chance go back to B3 again, so i might as well have to try now... i'm waiting for the calendar to be released, then i'll have to make some choices.

I voted 'Arlon' ...once again.
They are realy strong enough too last one more season.
SSS will be a strong competitor.

Amenra is the favorite on our side....
We will see what will happen. I think we have the best 'Obira' team ever....but will it be enough ?
Yes, ....Dirnberger's training wil continue !!!! (for the glory of Belgium)
(this will be the reason our goal is only to reach PO)

Joe:....nice work with the presentation. (I' like to read it)

Welcome to all the newcomers and especally FTA ! (This is a good team with a good manager)
"Fran Drebin' ...once again 'welcome' in our Eragon Dome.

Greetings

A nice first victory from my team which means i already have the same amount of victories than my entire previous season in BBBL :)

Currently i'm on 1 win and 1 loss, and i'm happy with that.
Next week i have games against Obira and Mumu, which will be very hard for me.
In the week after that i will try to get two victories again.
