It will take a lot of luck and good management for anyone in the B3 tourney to avoid hurting themselves in the their main league/cup. B3 teams need to add more players, which is higher cost, and then need to prioritize between three competitions. Something will have to give, and if B3 teams aren't careful with spending and prioritizing the competitions, they will likely suffer in the long run, creating more opportunity for the teams just below them.

i dont think so.... in the first 3-5 cup games u only play against bots... so u can buy 3-4 medium guys with 4-6k income so u have a 15-16 people team and it'll be and the teams in the bbb are already the best in their league so they can handle that two league games per week too

This guy is going to be chagrined to learn that he's been branded a bot by you:

(23238)

what is your problem?

do you have a problem understanding if its letter a then its letter a.

you know for a while ago, i kept thinking your point but now that your saying this it completely gave you away such that your a very unique kind of guy

the one thats arrogant enough and couldnt keep a clear mind of which what kind of explanation could make you understand what your brain cant process because things arent being interpreted the way you see it or want to see it.

try screwing up those loose screws of yours and get a slight of electricity into it, it might help get you jump started.

havent you thought its a single elimination round, do you risk getting extra guys if you wanna compete and if you lose and your stuck with this players on a high pay roll what do you do? youc ant be sure selling is the right way because you might have bought him at 1 million you might get less in return and especiually the enthusiasm factor kicking in

or yet how can you balance it correctly when there are games your best guys or players get into foulf trouble and the minutes didnt go your way.

dont keep on blabbing about your point, its out of line! if you worry about the imbalance it gives you why you worry too much, unless your in a division 1 team or what. compete! if you dont have the resources then plan your training and look ahead maybe after a season or 2 youll get there!

we who are part of this are happy because we work hard on this, might i tell you i won div 1 with a lineup compse of players with salaries not over 8 grand wherein i have to compete against teams who have over 10 grand salary. do you think how many hours i spend analyzing what i should do and what players i have to insert on a certain game with this team, even watching there games just to see where i fit the bill.

i always start the year with less money than at the end of the season, thats why i dont have all around guys, because as much they have high skills level they too have atricious ones just to compensate the salary structure. its how you balance.

doing this doesnt get you anywhere! so pls grow up!

Actually, I spent all my money adding players for the playoffs. I have 9 players and enough money to add maybe 1 4-5k player. 10 players is barely enough to handle 2 league games and a cup, let alone an additional cup game. I think enough of us have seen that you cant just overlook bot teams.

Likely, Ill be forced to push my players to max minutes, and cross my fingers in hope I don't incur an injuries (while having an additional game to incur injuries) and/or game shape doesnt get hammered. If I dont manage carefully, I could very quickly be out of both B3 and my countries cup, and be in a worse state competitively and financially then I was before.

edit - IM NOT COMPLAINING AT ALL, just explaining this B3 tourney is hardly the handout its being made by some.

Yes, it's sad that people spend time doing what they want.

I'm going to use the old cliche.. 'just take 1 game at a time' now from tomorrow on it seems that's going to be 'just play 1 game a day' until I'm out of the B3! (I know PL dont count towards minutes...

I have 11 players 2 of which would struggle to lace up boots so that leaves me needing to buy - full stop. I hate carrying dead wood and I cant see anything but a market downturn for mediocre players with the new rules... and mediocre players today will need to be trained to remain mediocre compared to everyone else this time next season... my point.. if you invest in players you dont plan to train they will fall in value..... is it fun playing v other champs yes... it is rewarding? if you win 5-6 games yes.. if not then as suggested could be an expensive distraction....

Have in mind that this happens in season 1 of the B3 tournament, when it got served out of the blue 1 week before the season's start. I fully expect people to be better prepared in the seasons to come.

you know what!

it just tells! you whine and you dont do what needs to be done.

you just want things to go to your way by bending rules or arguing about something clearly isnt reseanable enough.

pretty simple . . . .. . let me spell it to you ! LO$&R :D

because i dont know whats sad about when i get what i want, and with that i get other perks wherein you . . . . . get to complain.

as its been mentioned numerous times it is a pleasant dilemma to have!

i dont think anyone can be confident enough to think they can win it from the off under the current 'draw out of the hat' format.... with a bit more forward planning and understanding of how next seasons format will differ the best teams can shape their squads accordingly and then you can imagine the winner will come from one of the undisputed top 5-10 teams on paper.
