I am surprised with what Wallonia Liège Wildcats is doing. Despite having a low salaried team and people deciding to play TIE against them, they seem to have a pretty solid roster. Managed to beat me and now Slammers after keeping Anné on 'only' 34 points.

Anné 34 points...bad player.
He is getting older…every season.

Wallonia Liège Wildcats… surprise of the season?

What makes them so good ?...to be continued

Also, Slammers underestimating Riverside or the GE had a mind of his own, I would think it's the latter.
Some weird results happened these first games ...

It's indeed a weird result, but my focus is on training right now so my team isn't as strong as it was last season.
I think I'm going for a total rebuild right now, wich means I have to reveal the skills of my players on the TL. So finally you'll be able to see the strengths of Joris Anné :P

My team was trained for the patient offence and my aim was to reach the BBBL with it, but for me, last season was my last chance. Now, not only Anné is getting older, but also Buddaert and Pot, who are the key players of my zone defence.

For me, the project 'Patient' offence was a big succes, even though I didn't reach BBBL. So now I'll start a new project, of wich I hope it will be even more succesfull than the previous one.

In terms of tactics, you're right, but overall I suprised a lot of teams (even some BBBL teams in the cup) because everyone always underestimated my players because of their low salaries.

(but I can't deny I'm reaaly curious about Anné ;) )

You should be more curious about Pot and Buddaert ^^

Buddaert is capable of playing PG as well as C for the NT, I'm assuming he will, just like Anné, have high IS and JS.

It's SOOO frustrating knowing a patient is coming, preparing for it and still feeling like the GDP was worthless :) for me, this frustration already started in div. III.
Too bad for you that rebuilding a team like the one you have now takes years to obtain ... The same apllies to me, my trainees are now 23 and 24. So it'll still take a full year to reach their full potential.
