Nice achievement indeed :)

I'm still not sure how to make this week a success, but I can tell you that dropping a cup semi-final is not in my books right now :)

I'm so proud my team is pulling through, given the fact that i'm an underdog against AmenRa and Kelmis, but most of all given the awful GS with which i'm currently playing.
If i'm able to get my GS ath same level as the two above mentioned teams, who knows what might be possible for my little Eagles...even underdogs can win prizes...although it is very unlikely...

Joe is right, training GS is no help if you play with your major 5 in every game, form will drop week after week.

This has always been the major problem of having a very strong major 5 with nothind behind, no garbage time and no flexibility : you have to play with your best players and they soak more than 40 min. in every game.

Right now I'm playing a good starting 5 with 3 "correct" subs and this is much less "all or nothing" style of play.

You and Joe are absolutely right, i know.
My problem is indeed that i lack depth in my roster, and that my bench compared to my starting 5 is very weak.
The difference between my starters and my bench is huge.
But for quite a while now, i've been looking on the TL for a versatile good 6th man, who would be able to play on almost all positions. But such players are pretty rare, and the prizes begin paid for it seem to high for me right now. Although i'm absolutely not sure these prizes will change for the better in the near future. Actually i fear that the prizes are going to keep rising for the near future. So hence my inability to acquire a strong 6th man for the moment.

About prices, they are right now sky-high and I agree that adding another player is getting really complicated. And a jack-of-trades must look like a SF, meaning several millions are required.

More than ever, training his own players is a must if we want to avoid the price of another starting 5 every few seasons :/

Surely, they are a huge asset to your team. But wouldn't you be delighted if you had turned them into regular BBBL starters ? After all, I also thought that a 18-yo trainee wouldn't fit in a team tailored to get results, but now I think I was wrong, and it is doable (though not always simple, that's for sure) to craft a player from scratch to suit your requirements.

Not to mention that with time passing, your trainee slowky turns into an acceptable sub, then an acceptable starter ... then an acceptable world class player, if there is enough dedication AND luck with injuries, of course.

Double post, sorry : before I thought that having an already partly trained player was mandatory, but I don't think this is right. However, you can forget about training more than one starter at a time or you should forget getting results or getting training ...

Perhaps the best would be to have 3 players, a solid starter, a sub, and a trainee, whose training plans match - or 2 solid starters if you want to play it safe, but sometimes it is very difficult to know in advance what the training plan will be.

Nice win Dartreb ;)

Even if I had not real chances, I started to watch the game closely in the 4QT when I was only 10 or 11 points behind, who knows, with no faults (so big luck), your starting 5 would have been stuck on the bench ^^ and perhaps I would have been able to grab an OT.
But it would have been crazy :p

I've hesitated until the deadline to set my defense tactic, and then I took a bet...
But with Ankic injury, I mismatched my SG & PG, awful inside shot for the SG, with inside tactic...not ideal.

Anyway! I've won the 4QT! And that"s a hell of an achievement!:p

It's on that very positive note that I would like to say goodbye to you all, it was a nice experience again to play against/with you this season, next time I''ll try to build a more competitive team a bit earlier ;)

See you soon!

(of course I will continue to play the 3 remaining game professionally)
