If I would've played with higher attitude, I might've had a chance. However, Yolymapa should always win against me with his starting 5 in his own arena.
Also, Antwerp Angels with 4 out of 5 in top 5 of the evening, that just shows Scheetebeezekes is just handing out free wins ... hopefully that doesn't change before I play against him :)

i'm really annoyed that Kasperovich didn't get a Tripple Double tho :P

Btw anyone seen the allstars? They generally give a good prediction for the PO's. It's kinda my take on the season tho. Blegny United is going to lock up HCA in the PO's. he's waay stronger than anyone else in his conference and probably won't lose anymore (yes, he'll most likely be beating me, because my focus is on something else).

We have 4 worthy teams in our conference (nearly 5 with Krif). We'll take games of eachother. White tigers & Yolymapa are probably on our lvl too. But Blengy really is a cut above. If anyone faces him on equal enthusiasm, then i think he's taking the W. The only way to beat him is to dive into a market but i'm unwilling to go look for a stronger player atm.

All jokes aside, I know I'm not more than a solid 5th. Considering my salaries are 40k lower than Slammers, and with a player that gets payed 140k a week, it tells the story about the others. I don't have 5 worthy players, 3 at most (hopefully 4 next season).
These 'young' 20-50k salary players have become crazy expensive. And I can't buy them with money I don't have when I should still invest in my arena. As for now, I'm not aiming to be a "worthy team", as the hope is to steadily grow.

anything i say about others can be used as fuel to beat me. I once was in your place Krifl, Had Gerry Fleeton & Marichal on my team at some point (Belgiums leading rebounder and assist players of all time). Having a NT player on your team is a burden more often than not. Joe has repeatedly asked me to give JDC some more training. I've told him no, because then i can't pay his wages anymore.

It depends want you want to focus on. I want a good personal team and i no longer make sacrifices for the NT. if my players get selected, good. If not, so be it. i'm not to fuzzed by it. still i respect managers who go out of the way to help a NT. It's just no longer something for me ;)

not sure that it's a good calculation for you. There will be a lot of room in the PG/SG positions in the next seasons and with just +2 PA JDC is in NT. What it will cost you in salary you will get from merchandising, so the only difference is that you will have a better player.

But you know, I'm laughing when I read "make sacrifices for the NT". In Belgium from a roster of 17 players, 13 of them have a salary under 140k, one of the lowest payroll (if not the lowest) in all countries fighting to qualify for the second round (it's definitively our case this season). If there's one country in the BB world, except Micronation, where you don't need to be a top team or a farm team to have a top NT player, it's Belgium, because we are asking for balanced players to keep low payroll to not have to ask to the owner to put the NT before his own team. Currently in our roster there are only "win-win" players, nobody is making sacrifices to help the NT.

So if I ask you +2 in PA, it's because I know it's not any kind of sacrifice for you, especially for a team who spend 40% of his time in D.I.

look at the players i'm training & ask our U21 coach what is being trained. I'd have to put Vito & Gerber on hold just to put in PA. At his age, PA takes 4 weeks or more to pop. So i'd be sacrificing to much.

As for merchandise, he's a Home grown player. That means that the added merchandise is max 5k if he gets into the NT. Adding 2 lvls of PA puts on 33k+ salary. Do the math. it's -28k per week. So yes, that is a problem for me. Thx for trying to once again convince

So let's make the calculations.
Contra:
-33k per week
- putting off the training of my 2 main trainees.

Pro
+5k merchandise

Conclusion
I'll pass thank you very much.

JDC fits perfectly in my team. So as i stated earlier. Either he's considered good enough and then it's cool. If not, then i'm not going to cry about it either.

Also, when training JDC, i remember being told repeatedly that i should be training a PF because you had a waaay to big guard group to chose from. So no, i'm sticking to my guns. I'm sticking to what i need for my team. And if the NT benefits from it, cool. If not, then so be it.

PS: Average Salary in II is 450k. Malou is 140k. so that is 30% of your salary invested into 1 position. in Krifs team, it's 140k out of 325. That is 38% which is over 1/3rd for 1 position. i call that making a sacrifice (which as stated earlier, i respect tremendously)

First time in dutch, was easier to read, thank you :)
Always fun to get a surprise victory, and then realising most of your conference opponents won as well.

i got lucky. i had HCA & Blengy United has a bad Gameshape this week. Also Blegny showed me that i had become to lazy & didn't punish me for it. (If he matches the enthusiasm, he wins. If he doesn't play 2-3, he wins). Then again, one doesn't want to wake a sleeping dog (or Dragon) I-)

I must thank Blegny. He has woken me up and has probably re-ignited my passion for this game.

However, BBB vs Blengy is probably already over.

BBB played his starters vs de scheetzebezeskes & they got to many minutes. Futhermore, BBB's players are in a poor shape aswell & Blengy has HCA.

So in all fairness, Blegny is still the strongest team in our conference. just look at the rest of his conference. Other than Spirou, nobody manged to win. even Krifl managed to beat the Tigers from Bruges. So Blengy is on an island and will secure HCA. The question remains, how much will the team that respresents our division have to give up before facing Blengy on his HCA in the finales
