Game of two defences I think, both teams didn’t shoot well at all.

I can’t think of any other ways to contact / check Elmacca is ok, let’s hope he logs back in when he gets the email about being inactive for a few weeks.

I also realised Extremadabra went BOT after seeing one of his previous players on the transfer list. I didn’t notice Doncaster did though, that is a shame… Panathinikos Bristol who was in the EBBL last season only has a few days to log in too.

Such a shame we're losing so many former EBBL managers.

Panathinaikos Bristol sold all their players and now only have the 3 they drafted, I don't think they plan on coming back.

I worry about Elmacca, I'm sure he would have said something if he was leaving the game.

As for the league, feel my coach screwed me over a little bit as most of my bench played more minutes than my starters but a win is a win, and that's all that matters. Plus I'm top of the conference, I need to make the most of it while I can

So 2 games in and I'm first in the EBBL, I did not expect that! I don't expect it to last long as I've had a pretty easy first 2 games.

Still missing Elmacca (it's been almost a month now), but he has managed to go 2-0! I don't expect that to last after his GS takes a hit after his main guys play their 3rd game of the week tonight. Also surprised to see Vecx unbeaten with one of the lowest team salaries in the league, and then js8 is bottom at 0-2 with one of the stronger teams in the league! We could be in for a weird and exciting season!

One interesting thing I saw is that the top 4/5 attendance incomes for the first games were all on the blue side. Is the game biased towards that side or what!

Does anyone have any thoughts about the new tactic improvements? I know Vecx used OI a few times last season with some success, as well as Donkeys this season (to less success). II also getting a boost hopefully can offer a better alternative to inside offences now as well. I'm more hopeful the defences are better as only being able to choose between M2M and 3-2 isn't ideal in a inside dominated world.

I thought the changes to tactics weren't being introduced till mid-season.

I thought the tactic adjustments were from the start of the season but the new stamina system was after the allstar game?

You're right. I misread the news post.

Gutted to lose my uneaten streak to a non-shooting foul with 0 seconds left which gave the Whales free throws to win. Dexter Barral coming up clutch hitting both. To be fair, I was expecting to lose pretty comfortably so losing by 1 point I'll take.

I didn't notice the tactic changes, but I got so bored of the LI thing that I've been playing with alternatives; now it's actually worth doing!

As for salaries... they aren't everything

Another strong win for me last night. I wasn't expecting a 49 point blowout!

Interesting scheduling in the red side as the top 4 team (current standings) have only played the bottom 4 teams. The next 2 weeks will be interesting to see how much the standings change.

My target at the start of the season was 5th, but seeing js8 currently 7th in the blue side makes me question that target, wouldn't like to face his squad in a relegation battle.

I’m pleased to meet you all and this league one more time! At this time I am a little bit shocked about my missed abilities to predict the progresses and the final results of my matches.. But this 2-2 it’s ok at the moment! Good luck to all of you!

First round of conference games in the books… how are people feeling about how their season has started?

For me, my season is going a lot better than expected. I was 5 points away from being 7-0. The fact I’m top of the red side after 7 games is ridiculous to me. A long way to go and I don’t expect to stay there. I’ll be hoping to continue my strong start by tearing through the blue side haha
