One crucial issue I've been having lately is that my scoring leader Maksimavičius was injured. Some really painful losses followed where I could have expected positive results with a full roster.

Finally, Maksimavičius is close to being healthy, and I hope that his form comes back as fast as possible for me to reach the PO stage!

That's a very good point ( I didn't actually pay attention to that), and that kind of injury affects a lot against even/high quality opposition. It's also true that game shape is very important in terms of player performance levels, so while I like it that injuries affect game shape (as it's realistic), they sometimes return to optimal painfully slow...

Nice again. I can say that the quality of the league is improving and I'm happy about that. As for salaries, I'm not trying to control it. My team is financially well-off, I can easily spend more than a million on salaries and it won't hurt me financially.

Thanks! I'm also happy about that (even though my own team isn't improving with highest rate, so it won't mean good to my own success chances but it's necessary to see this from a wider perspective, and added competitiveness and raise of skill levels of teams is definitely a positive news).

I'm glad to hear you've got some money to spend (I wish I could say the same...), and it'll be interesting to see what kind of Top8-salary record of HGL you will set in forthcoming seasons!
(Yes, we can keep a record on some of these "all time special statistics", if some people want to gather them - as you all can see, I'm running behind already on gathering team stats and updating transfers and salary benefit posts, so as much as I'd like to compile additional stats/records, I don't think I can take much added work as I'm already struggling to some extent on keeping up with this level of statistical information).

Thank you Jotadoce, excellent decision! It's great to have a Spanish team in HGL... I also hope we'll have some local competition in HGL one day - perhaps in a form of LOPO_ (manager of Eliocroca CB), who has established 'Homegrown teams'-thread? :) According to his much appreciated HG-teams listing, there does seem to be also 3 other HG teams in Spain...

The Kings are still too young, too weak...

...but we continue to train, continue to prepare, continue to dream...

Well, you'll get there - probably sooner, as it now feels. And if you change your mind, there's an 18th spot open for HGL Season 4.
As mentioned before, I'd consider it more optimal to have an equal number of teams instead of odd number of teams and currently we have 17 teams for Season 4 (as Alanurmon Rikkaat will join us for Season 4), if Suuret Muinaiset and Hårdboll will decide to keep on playing on HGL Season 4. This way also every team would play on every Round...
