Just wanna say I really appreciate these posts! Good work on them.

Ah, shucks. Those guys? Those posts are nothing. Just a little copy/paste.

I've been taking it a bit easy, but come All Star Break, I may break out a power rankings post for y'all.

Cheers.

Player Transfer Report
Well, it took five games, but we finally no longer have any players listed for transfer, but that's not to say you power hungry owners aren't going to go all Jerry Jones on us and continue to add more and more salary to your squads. At last count, the average total salary ran up to the tune of $527K with a league leading $723k from TripB and a league low $292K from In your face.

To say there's been some movement on the books would be an understatement. Since February 18th (the Season 63 playoff deadline), there have been 92 transfers in total among 12 of the 16 teams with The Phantom Thieves, TripB, Blue Ocean, and F.Day Internet Lovers Club holding out with their roster as is.

There were 43 players transferred out and 49 transferred in. All 12 teams sold at least one player for a total gain of $14.8M and a total salary sell off of $2.02M. The average age of players sold is 27.6. The team with the highest number of transfers out is Deronimo with 8.

The 49 players brought in collectively cost us $21.95M with Stark Contrast leading the charge by spending $4.9M on 9 players. All told, teams brought in $2.5M in salary.

The highest salaried player sold was Wilmington Tiger Sharks Ricky Augustine, the 31-year-old who was salaried at $205K, while the highest salaried player brought in was The White Walkers Albrecht Maret, hitting $177K. Overall, teams brought in nine players with more than $100K in salary while we shed seven players with that same salary.

What about player positions?
PG
- Bought? 15 | Cost? $6.79M
- Sold? 15 | Gain? $8.18M

SG
- Bought? 3 | Cost? $361K
- Sold? 6 | Gain? $1.2M

SF
- Bought? 8 | Cost? $6.8M
- Sold? 7 | Gain? $1.6M

PF
- Bought? 12 | Cost? $4.8M
- Sold? 7 | Gain? $1.7M

C
- Bought? 11 | Cost? $3.1M
- Sold? 8 | Gain? $2.0M

All in all, we had a net loss of $7.145M on transfers thus far.

Here's an updated prediction rankings compared to the preseason rankings I came out with just before the season began:

1. Deronimo (previously #1)
2. The Phantom Thieves (#2)
3. TripB (#4)
4. Resurrected Fury (#6)
5. The White Walkers (#5)
6. Harbor City Storm (#3)
7. The Reductions (#12)
8. Stark Contrast (#8)
9. Blue Ocean (#7)
10. Lion Rebels (#9)
11. Wellington Warthogs (#10)
12. F.Day Internet (#11)
13. BrokeGang (#16)
14. Wilmington Tiger Sharks (#13)
15. Wobbles (#15)
16. In your face (#14)

I expect these will shift a little bit more, but I won't be updating the rankings.

Good luck tonight!
