i had forseen the loss of Falco. his GS was horrible, so he had to cut his losses hoping to get his GS back up or he would be losing more games.

What i find really annoying, is the forfait. there was no reason to forfait that game. C3C now gets minutes on players that trash there season averages, trash there chances for getting a MVP trophee and screws up his minutes for the week while screwing over his point differential. I find that forfait extremely lowly. i forfaited once a game, but atleast i had the decency to give my opponent a heads up about it so that he didn't play any starters and thus didn't see any of his players being screwed over for the MVP trophy.

truth be told, Seb, C4C would have beaten Vleesklak by 40 or 50 points. Thus all things considered, i'd be happy if i were you. you made up ground on both leaders, I'll be happy to see Bari returning next week :D i'm pleased with my record so far. i'm expecting TBS to defeat SKW again, HCA is gonna be decided by each and every game. should be fun till the end

i don't understand Falco atm. He's just sold Dorado a couple of weeks ago, so he should be fine in terms of finances. Why sell of other core players now?

it's common sense that you can't hope to improve your squad by selling off older players and then buying younger ( better ones), so the moves don't make sence. If it's to unload his team and save more cash for a big splash just prior to the PO's, it doesn't make sence either. Prices just before the deadline are higher than ever, even for the older players. + Falco wouldn't benefit from the new rules making tanking very unsuccesfull in the BBBL while buying even older players, just to win these PO's.

So either, Falco has decided to use the PO's to sell his players at a higher price and will wait to buy younger players later on. Or he's taking a huge risk to land better players, while having a weaker team, meaning he's more prone to lose some games even against the lower ranked teams and thus lose a costly game for the HCA while hoping he can find the deals to get better players just before the PO's ( who will be older and he'll be purchasing them for a higher price than they normally would be worth).

Should be interesting to see how this will turn out. I wouldn't mind him getting younger players to train them, would make things easier for me this PO's and i somehow don't see Falco making that move... (if he would, he'd be trying to sell his other old starters. the fact that he hasn't put them up, means that he still intends on being competitive...)

Will be interesting to see how this works out.

And finally when the return of Bari is in sight, i lose Marichal to injury. Worst part is, Marichal was going to start in the upcomming NT game, so now i got to fill a hole there aswell :S

i better hope this is the last injury for me. Also, that injury will likely cost Marichal a few votes in the MVP voting and i was really hoping to have a good candidate for the MVP award this season. i had 2 candidates: Bari and Marichal. both will miss games and that often is costly in MVP voting :( but the title is more important than the MVP award, so better go for it with everything that i have left...

Congrat's Govaart!
Govaart, currently living his career twilight, has been with us since the very BB beginning.
35yo and still kicking!
Respect.

nice!

the good news for me is that if i win my next 2 games ( vs Boubous Warriors and BC Vleesklak) then i'll have secured HCA with a game to spare against Falco.

Since my oppinion is that Falco will be trying to replicate what Sum did last season, by buying adding a large ammount of salary to his team, the next 2 games are gonna be important. If i drop 1 of those 2, then i'll have to play Falco for the HCA, at which point he should have added his big gunz. If i win both, i can send in my B-team while saving my A-team for the PO's. (and if HCA is secured, i might as well go all out and get myself another player too :D)

as expected SKW lost to TBS, tho i must say that i'm unsure if they lost due to a tactical error or if they were lucky not to have lost by more. We all know that Beykan is the big scoorer for TBS. So why the 2-3 zone is beyond my understanding. So TBS and SKW will have a show down till the end to decide who gets the HCA (and our conference top 2 is sure to have HCA in the finals :D)

R~

this is insane man.

First i lose Bari for 2 weeks. Bari isn't back yet, or i lose Marichal to injury. Bari has just returned, with Marichal set to return for the next game and guess what, now i lose Ghislain Vanhaewaert for 2 weeks.

i'm seeing a Wave to injuries to many players, including in the NT and i'm wondering if the devs have tweaked the chances of a player getting injured when it's closer to the season. I've got a lvl 6 doctor all the time to avoid injuries. So far, he was doing a great job. If i get one more injury, i might need to consider finding a new doctor for my team, cause i can't take any more injuries...

R~

I have 2 starters injuried as well.
My PG Ochoa and my SF Zunchedu.
And guess what? I won yesterday against C4C with a TIE...crazy.
I didn't have any single injury during almost 2 season, and I have a Lvl 1 doctor.
So, maybe you are right regarding the coincidence between periods.

Breaking News: Tonight, will be the last appearance of Bartholomeus Branas for Tool Belgium.

The bad news: We will miss our big guy, the season 21 MVP!
The good news: We finally start to earn some cash! We lose a 140k/week salary regarding our current weekly balance who's actually set on -20k€/week (after many many effort from -50k/week).
It means, if we don't replace him, that we gonna succeed to earn 100k€/week.
I hope the results will follow, Bala and Karamanis are starting to become competitive. It means as well, that Govaart André will stay with us another season, and our junior Wim Boulet has a lot of pressure in order to gain skills very quickly because nothing good will pop out from the draft as we didn't invest a single penny in it.

I'm of course very sad to loose Branas, but very happy with the new financial perspectives!
