Great 8 Newbies:

Div III.4 Promotee:

Footsteps - Manager: Secosabi - Footsteps is certainly no BB "babe in diapers" and has been throwing it down since season 5. They spent a lengthy time in Div II.4 from seasons 8-15 before dropping down to regroup for a couple of seasons. This team knows how it all works but at this point won't be causing too many headaches just yet. Serious changes need to be made as there are only 2 worthy players in the starting 5 at this early stage. A $60k C (who hasn't got one of those) and old $47k SG. Scrolling down the list there are four players in the $20k range but there are some serious age issues in that same group. With Docs Patients clearly showing positive activity on the market and Lordy also putting $2mil on a young PG, all new teams have an uphill battle. It may be unfair to judge so early on but based on what i'm seeing, this team will finish in the relegation playoff zone, currently hot for last place in the conference.

Div III.3 Promotee:

Urmummas - Manager: Urmumma - Well first things first, are we seeing another potential Smeltztroopers or what here?! He might be a little long in the tooth now but Taylor Waterhouse, at PG, with a $126k salary and nothing else over $40k to back him, anything is possible! These guys have been around since season 9 and moved straight to Div III. They were then stuck battling against a number of well known teams, biding their time and now finally coming in ready for business. At this stage there probably isn't really enough time to put together a Smeltztrooper team before the little PG will need to be sold. I think Urmumma might need to consider that soon, with 4 starting five players all over 30 and a franchise PG not far off. Perhaps some tough decisions ahead for Urmumma but other teams have succeeded with similar looking rosters. With that PG I can see these guys winning some games off his back but not really enough to avoid a relegation series. Looks like a spot for 7th considering Footsteps apparent tank.

love your work mate! too bad i had to swap with manchild and end up in his old div II with him landing in mine! praying i have enough $$ in the bank to maintain my current roster and head straight bak to the big leagues
gluck with this season

Cheers mate, would have a been a noisy ABBL this season had you managed to stay up. Plenty of activity will all your mates up there that's for sure.

Hopefully I can pull something out of the bag and thwart Vics on his early attempt to scare everyone off! :-D

I am not trying to scare anyone off, just updating my roster as I move on my capped trainees and oldies...


lets just say im paying my scouts and my superior staffs and building my bank roll comfortably each week ;)

No doubt with that massive arena, most of the ABBL teams would wet their panties at the sight of your arena! lol

only if he gets here

huh? most ABBL teams already have nice size arena...

Another great write up Vio. I think you are on the money with your assessments.

Great work as always Vios.

Hey guys

Nice to be back in my old league!
I spent 5 seasons here, back in the old days.
Pretty sure the whole lineup of the league has changed since then. Except for maybe Moosas.
I was hoping to fall back in to II.1 mainly for the entertainment value but alas I already feel at home.

Not too sure of my plans for this season as yet. I did accidentally make it to the ABBL last season and basically tanked the second half to save a bit of cash. But... I didn't really do it properly so don't worry there's not too much sitting in the bank.

Anyway good luck to all.

I am going to try and avoid that, I want to be able to tank properly, but it is hard when you don't want to sell your players for a loss.
