why drag me into this mess for?


Why are you referring this as a "mess"? This is a healthy discussion... there's no right and wrong here.

is abigfishy loving this? nah

too many of my own issues to deal with

eagles put more effort into our game than me and it was at their home i was playing my 19yo trainee and they won by 12

but he got injured, my million $ recruit - ahhhhhhhh

u21 team gone
solid on my team by mid season gone
star on my team next season gone
huge financial hole and no ability to buy another trainee - still here

then we had an awesome gave v snuffles, up by 1 with 2 seconds to go and they hit a buzzerbeater to take the win, awesome game, crap result

and somehow i was a very silly fishy and instead of my scrub 3k rookie i put my 60k c in as sf in the cup when he was already done for the week and his gs is wrecked - dont tinker with your lineup at 2am

thats the two top teams probably in the league we could have beaten and we choked both times, we are like a fish out of water at the moment

so i take no joy in fat boys pain, i share it, i hope we can both stop sucking so hard

but i do have 1 question for him

1.9 million for that mediocre foul machine? why?

Loss to Snuffies was karma for the brutality inflicted on me with 4 seconds to go in our PL game...

1) You have been in ABBL for 2 weeks. Hardly enough time to weaken the economy... Therefore irrelevant to my point.
2) You haven't sold your entire list for 7 players who are $2000 or less. That is what most tankers do. That is what I consider mass tanking... Therefore irrelevant to my point.

I'm yet to see the awkwardness...

I am not criticizing what you are doing. I am just reminding you that it is tanking... As you just explained it is.

Looking at Datz's team I would hardly say he is tanking. His starting 5 has a total combined salary over $230k which is decent enough in Div II and should see him avoid relegation at the very least. Sure enough he only has 1 worthy bench player but expect to see some purchases made before the season is out.

Generally when a team is tanking they cut their team to a minimum to allow maximum income for the following rebuild season. Datz if you are tanking you're doing it all wrong mate! lol

So you asked why 1.9 m for a reject. I guess after 2 weeks of no sleep i just had enough with the competion on the market. It wasn't a good idea to buy players at beginning of the season. i could have had 2 older guards for that price.

Thats a very good observation vios but unfortunately 230k doesnt cut it in this league which is a major error in my calculations. It looks like i will need to increase depth to my roster.

I think all your team really lacks is another bench player or two. I expect you will be able to win home games against each team above you except Meateors and up. I predict you should win your next two home games, you just had a tough start against the new teams at their home court. It will even out by end of season and I don't see why you can't finish 5th-6th and avoid relegation. Unless of course you are broke and have not intention of adding some depth. I doubt this is the case as you have already said you were looking on the trade market but prices were too high. Hang in there, it's only your 2nd season in Div II, this might not be your strongest season but it'll come good.
