On paper, my next tournament game is an exciting one with two U21 NT players, Cicvaric and Risley, set to do battle... but RabidCamel royally screwed up his gameshape this week, and I'm planning on sitting my guy Cicvaric as he will have played his quota of minutes for the week in the two league games. So, I'm expecting a fairly lack-lustre clash that will most likely result in my team getting the win. A favourable draw could see me go deep into the cup, and such a draw is quite possible for any one of us considering the number of bots and 'meh' teams that will still be hanging around come round three...

my starting 5 weekly minutes from last week.

Farrugia - 86
Eren - 106
Stern - 75
Groppo - 109
Demaqi - 105

my point being - never assume because he has played both his league games, that he wont cop the game shape hit the following week to keep going during the cup.

Did you try and deceive me with your players minutes?

Given that you lost the lead up leagu game when you held back a couple of players, that you blew out many of your players minutes against me and also flattened your teams enthusiam with a CT against me, yet still lost and got knocked out, how would you rank the success of this strategy?

Nice try Sid but unfortunately u can't reel me in that easy, I don't engage in debates with trolls, especially when the only reason why they won the game was pure luck.

Pure Luck?

Superior team with a HCA, that had higher shooting percentages in 4 of the 5 positions.

Plus Im stricken with the cup curse, I havent been able to be knocked out of the cup before the quarter finals since I started chasing flags


Bottom line is that I read you like a book (and of course got a bit lucky)

No debate necessary and best wishes for the season

I expect the sheer luck component was first having your opponent play full court press, and then only conceding 3 more TOs than they did...

I'm not sure you understood me correctly... I meant that my opponent this week has already copped a pretty big gameshape hit from the week prior, and so I should be in very little danger of losing to him even if I do sit some of my regular starters (which I likely will).

Perhaps he was trying to exploit the fact that I was playing a tall at SF and switching D with Ryder, but gees Donnelly hasnt got bad handling or passing, Riviera has extremely high driving and Sarstedt has rather high passing, so his strategy was never going to work and from memory when a team plays FCP, they tend to tire a little bit later in the game as it affects stamina.

My extra 3 turnovers and his 5 extra steals were probably more of a reflection of him using extra enthusiam, and ofcourse if your guards have really good ball handling, a FCP can allow your offense to receive the ball in space.

Got to admire the young fellow for having a go against me and no doubt he will learn from the experience (as I have also done.)
