@all:
Remember to inform me about your
- trades if those do happen (whether or not player is one of your top8-salary players), and/or
- if you fire (throw out) a player from your team.

This ensures I can keep on updating the transfers-post and can keep on correcting Season 4 salary-values throughout the season if/when they change.


Question for all about another subject:
What do you guys think of having an injuries-post in HGL?
Of course problem is I don't have time to go through every teams' player list before each HGL Round, and injuries wouldn't be automatically updated like in regular BB league. (And as we know, injury length is not set in stone, so no definitive 'end date' could be given in case player would be put into a HGL injury-list).

You did see my recent post about the X-Man's return, Wagner? I also provided a link to him to make it easier for you.

Yes I did, thank you for information.
I replied to you already on this thread, into which you didn't respond.
I already updated transfer post on that part, but I haven't handled/transferred few other managers' transfer information to S3/S4 transfer post(s).

I would by far prefer notifications on Official HGL Threads as opposed to BBMail, as it leaves "easily" found information behind (rather than BBMails, which would work to some extent, but due to horrendous BBMail interface are total pain to access later on), so it requires (once again) more work for me, and having to handle more sub-processes and remember all of them.

So I wonder if the deletion of LennuK.'s message was due to player being actively on sale, and would they get deleted if we announce them here after the transfer?

- some teams (especially FRE) have sold players, that they could have theoretically keep, so these kind of effectively reduce "HGL average top8-salary", and are not a sign of bad training but instead a result of managers' own choice (to get rid of salary baggage by either tactical or forced selling/firing)


My problem is that I've never played with the idea to lose a match intentionally and this is not the best strategy to have a good draft; my team is very weak but in the last 6 seasons I've played playoffs; when you've an unbalanced team and no strong young players it could be an idea to sell players over 28yo in order to try to be less competitive = having better draft. It works cause at the moment I'm in first position in my league... :p

Thanks a lot, you too! I've already won a match on HGL so season 71 is already finished :p

League tables updated now after 2 Rounds of play.

@all managers:
Please remember: next two weeks are played at 3 matches per week-pace (Mon, Fri, Sun) so remember to set your lineups/strategies on time!

(As usual, it's wise to have an automatic lineup set for all matches, as this should ensure you won't face a situation with too little amount of players listed on your lineup, which would lead to penalties on HGL Season 4).

Round 2 offered bit of everything in terms of results - a nailbiter (3 points win), then from decent/biggish point difference (10-22p) victories in five cases, and three blowout victories of 29 points or more.

Pretty interesting matchup on schedule on Round 3 (tomorrow) coming up - any thoughts on these, anyone? :)
