2/3i dont want 2 cover 5 teams in this div but really it is wide open even naming a favourite is a bit random at least 5 teams have a strong chance
favourite
TeamAkuma (38644)Ranked: 24
Started: season: 11
Current record: 9-1
Last season record: 22-0 d3
Best Achievement: 22-0 last season in d3 in 3/6 wow
Best player:
Clinton Abimbola (14845518)
Shooting Guard
Owner: TeamAkuma
Weekly salary: $ 93 919
Age: 25
Height: 6'3" / 190 cm
Potential: superstar
Game Shape: strong
Clinton says: ""The Prodigy" - Look me in the eyes. I have something more important than courage, I have patience. I will become, what I know I am."
Clinton Abimbola was pick 32 in the season 12 draft by TeamAkuma.
pick #32 is late 2 get a superstar so akuma had some luck but landing in 3/6 wasnt
this is a really unusual season with several new teams having a chance to promote the economy changes have really helped new teams when teams used to promote it was a mega fight just to stay up now it seems they can go for the championship right away
akuma is an original fishbowl team & while an easybeat in the early seasons has managed their economy well & built up into a powerhouse but they arent alone in this div
Cunning Linguists (196288)Ranked: 23
Started: season: 11
Current record: 8-2
Last season record: 12-10
Best Achievement: top 32 of cup now & should make top 16
Best player:
Alcide Groppo (14843802)
Power Forward
Weekly salary: $ 55 041
Age: 26
close call on best player but groppo is another home grown hero who seems to score well in 2/3
this is another new team in both ways starting season 11 & only in 2nd season in d2 they have made great progress & managed 3 games a week well although it isnt hard 2 do in 2/3 with half the league tanking as they said in this very thread
Coach Regan was all over the forums before he emerged in d2 showing reading the forums & understanding the game really helps
his no-star team is solid all around but he will need at least one big purchase to feel confident of the championship
Snuffies (38896)Ranked: 17
Started: season: 5
Current record: 8-2
Last season record: 17-5
Best Achievement: 4 seasons in abbl
Best player:
Aydeniz Agaev (15139568)
Shooting Guard
Weekly salary: $ 80 297
Age: 25
Height: 6'3" / 190 cm
Potential: perennial allstar
i know snuffles from his 2/1 days & he is a shrewd manager who always had an efficient team w a couple of standout players but he was very lucky getting back to the abbl after cowboys stuffed up their lineup in the finals of season 16 but 4 seasons abbl must be respected & who knows what $ they have in the bank - a massive threat!
Moosas Mad Men (38800)Ranked: 42
Started: season: 6
Current record: 8-2
Last season record: 12-10
Best Achievement: d2 playoffs x 5
Best player:
Elvin Wiley (10212413)
Small Forward
Weekly salary: $ 172 021
Age: 29
a longtime 2/3 team mmm is best known for having Elvin Wiley 1 of the top 10 salaried SFs in the whole world he has seen many great teams pass through this league in his 10 seasons here will it finally be his turn? i think he will need a lot more depth if he wants to make it happen
Vios Violationers (38726)Ranked: 40
Started: season: 4
Current record: 8-2
Last season record: 20-2
Best Achievement: quarterfinals of the Battlers Tournament
Best player:
Guriy Batyushkov (10859572)
Center
Weekly salary: $ 104 005
Age: 28
isnt known around as the luckiest player with massive injuries derailing him more than once he was supposed to be tanking & spent nearly $2 million on 2 18yo trainees this season but everyone else out tanked him, used to be known for his many time league mvp Božo Vasilić who he sold off for unknown reasons a team who has had 14+ seasons in d2 is surely due a little luck at some time right
