Eh. Tbh I didn’t really have very much money to be throwing around anyway rn. I just saw Alba’s skill ratings and thought he could fit in with my rotation pretty well if I could get him on the cheap (or cheap compared to the rest of the b.b. economy rn). SLIGHTLY less of a threat on offense than Almeida but Way more salary-efficient and less of a liability on defense.

I expect Elias will get crazy expensive; I was hoping raising the bid by $30k right off the bat might scare some people off but no such luck. I hope you get him though, he’s at just the right salary range that you could afford to keep him even if you dropped to D4 or let him play as a backup in D2. I’m better off grabbing someone around 30-31 y.o. anyway, for my needs

Yeah, his comps are about what I can spend now after Alba, but I expect he'll go higher than that too. He's slightly more than I'm lookin for, but I'm takin a flyer.

Edit> went a different direction.. and I just realized.. I bought Alba at 400k, sold him for 409k 6 (I think) seasons later... not a bad rental price

I had some false hope a few weeks ago and thought my squad was good enough to stick and stay in DIII. Flash forward and it's looking more like relegation with a brutal schedule down the stretch against 1-4 in the Great 8 with one winnable game left.

The Great 8 lived up to the name this season and it will be a shame that one of the top 5 will not make the playoffs as they are all deserving. That is no slight to the Big 8 either, but had I been slotted on that side of things then this would be a different conversation.

Wouldn't count yourself out yet; Your relegation opponent would be either Clarkston or Jersey and you beat both in the regular season; Won't be easy but you've at least got a fighting chance to stay up.

Idk if anyone's gonna underestimate you again this season after I came perilously close to giving you the upset of the season last night (GG btw; It's great to see you finally getting Bullard more involved in the offense!)

Bullard does a lot of things well; no one will ever confuse passing for one of those things. I have tried to focus on it a few times and came up empty, but we will certainly try to get that passing rating up past Atrocious for Bermuda Triangle Bullard in the offseason.

Hey guys, I’m happy with an undefeated season. I’m going to tank out in the playoffs and watch everyone else battle it out for the title. Good luck to everyone else that made the playoffs.

I... may have accidentally screwed tropics out of a chance to avoid relegation lol. Couldn't hand-pick a worse time to have an injury lol
