but why did you start Stiener over Okoro? You didn't exactly field your best line up. My SF had 40 points as a result.



The fact that you observed this tells me that you are a very astute and knowledgeable Manager.


I reckon if you study how ive distributed my players minutes this week you will be able to answer your own question.


(Yes im a total idiot)

Looks like you had one of those weeks where all three games are winnable on their own, but trying to bLance minutes and training makes you lose all 3. I feel like that is usually how my cup runs end. I always think I can pull it off instead of just letting one go and shooting for 2 of 3. Still, I think you could have started Steiner against me and sat him in the cup and managed to train IS or ID and kept his minutes under 96. Tough week. Good luck, I hope Se both make the finals so I can play you again.

The cup game was never a consideration especially when it became evident that my Div 1 opponent was saving minutes from his better players in preparation for it.

My game against Mamuwaldes team Tsalakomenoi B.C., was in my opinion quite winnable but at the end of the day he wanted it more and surprised me with his determination

You on the other hand have IMO a better team than Mamuwaldes and from memory had the HCA.

I hope to make it through to play you in the finals

Great effort everyone.

All 16 teams in this league are active and all are showing as having logged in today 20/3/2016 or as it is written here 3/20/2016

I agree that Blue Jays are the team to beat and they look certain to get the Home Court Advantage throughout the finals.

I dont believe that they are unbeatable though.

2 of their best 5 players are ageing and with only a relatively small stadium they may not have the cash flow to continue to improve their team.

Given how even and hotly contested this league is, who promotes could ultimately be determined by an acquisition or injury

I think people shoudl go up by CR



Im not sure what CR is short for (Please advise)



One thing that I do admire bmore (Manager of the Blue Jays) for, is that he picked up that I been playing Okoro out of position.

Okoro is a developing SF who would sell for over 5 mill at the end of next season, should the market stay as it currently is now.

Incidentally , Trainerman and Mamuwalde (Manager of Tsalakomenoi B.C. ) should both be congratulated for your excellent stadiums

Someone just landed like 5 million.....and still has some hitters on their squad....will they build arena/start training or stock up some talent and try to get int othe playoffs?

Any thoughts?

I guess it matters to me as I am the one in striking distance for that 4th playoff spot.



Lol 5 mill in total for 2 players of which his own draftee Al Brown (34204789) made a tad over 4 mill.

As for what he will do, only he can answer that, but in theory he could probably buy a small handful of old geriatric players for that money (2 or 3 players) and try and promote.

Not sure what Id do, Div 2 in Utopia is nothing new to me and I did the whole buy up thing back in season 15 with my Aussie team, so I know a little about the pros and cons of "short term glory" promotions through buying up as opposed to sustainable long term success through building a team up.

Even if he was to try and buy up with an aim of promoting this season I personally dont believe that 5 million would guarantee it and whilst he has been around for 30 seasons or so in Suomi which in itself is an incredible effort, I suspect that there might be other managers in this league who are quite capable and arguably, better credentialed
