Mind reading your opponent in this game is not luck. It is an essential skill.

Well done.

Bit of luck and we both might make the Allstars week in the cup

You realise there is a high chance that 8 ABBL teams will make it through after this round. So if you do win, you got 50% chance of getting an ABBL team in the round after. =P

yer thats kinda true - i did see the lineup he set mid-week and thought 'given the round of the cup we are in, opponent, lineup etc, good chance he will CT'.
a lot of it depends on the following week's draw though, from your own team's perspective whether or nto your willin gto combat the CT, i just Norm'd, but if i ran a TIE, id have a loss, but banked enthusiasm, so its a kinda Win/loss really.

well we both have beatable oppoennts this week in the cup - id never heard of Nevada Saucers but i checked out there team and low and behold, been around longer than ME! and in Div II for a while as well, so yer. we shall see how things are looking after this weeks game shape update :)

cmonnnnnnn proficient.

Your team (the Fab 4) has a definite edge in gameshape and has to start as favourites

Got to say what a huge night it was on the transfer market for a couple of the teams in this league.

Akuma who dropped his cup game to focus on gameshape, has just spent 288K on a 89K a week SG and Hadders has spent 370K on a 277K a week Centre.

Will be an extremely tough week for my guys against these 2 teams who both seem quite determined

OK so a bit commentary for this afternoons game.

Sid vs Akuma

I have to agree, Team Akuma have the better GS going into this round...... Duffill pulling out a 3.5m DMI this week. hooly dooly. he will go up against Linares who has a DMI of 2m. Should be interesting, but Dufill will win that battle.

Smeltz and Urb will also go head to head, Smeltz again will dominate here.

For HA's backcourt, Lie, Riveria and Atkins will need to beat Abimbola, Mclean and Bonichini, but given that Sid will also stick someone at PG for training, (probably Williams or Ryder) - I personally can't see how HA can pull of the win.

Only advantage wil be enthusiasm maybe for Sid.

be an interesting game to watch. :)

I actually agreed with you prior to the game although I thought the one major advantage I had was depth on the bench.

Very happy with the effort of Urb who matched Duffill in ranking 18 despite the fact he only had respectable gameshape to Duffills Proficient.

No doubt the efforts of Linares v Smeltz was decisive and as was Rivieras efforts beating Maclean despite only having repectable game shape


Anyways Ive made a dent in the Team Akuma " promotion train" and will have affected their finances a little but it may be that all Ive won is the battle and that Duffill and co still might win the war, because I have to admit that I wont be able to keep my current roster together for the entire duration of the season and in fact have probably put my team back 3 or 4 seasons by making such a major push

No time to celebrate the victory because the team will need to regroup to be ready to face an equally determined Hadders team on Tuesday night

well played sid. Good effort in gaming the system. The fact you had a much better bench probably helped too.

im probably going to sound bitter..well hell i am pretty bitter..
but its absolute total bullshit that the game's system allows a team like sid to pull in some big guns, play them for a game or two and win a crucial game, then sell them off. Totally ruins the whole vibe for me

I mean..look at the lakers..and even the heat.. they put together a really talented squad but it still took the heat half a season to gel and start playing well together..and the lakers..geez they've been at it all season and are still inconsistent

i hope season 24 fixes this..but geez..i dunno if a hit on gameshape would even work unless it was a pretty severe one that would take at least a few weeks to get right. Sid's rentals were in shit gameshape and they still played really well.

Ahh well..without HCA my team is screwed.

AAAAAANNNYYYWAYYYYYYY....the short version: BLAH BLAH BLAH Akuma is a sook. Well done Sid, you've pretty much got this championship in the bag unless one of the other guys make some major moves.
