Damnit.
Take a chance and put out my best team @Team Japan, assuming he won't play his 17k center and 8k SF because he has a cup game this week.
He plays both.
I'm leading a tight game, and my PF (my most consistent scorer) fouls out in 25 minutes. He had 17 points.
Manage to keep the game tight, get to OT, and then lose by 7 in the end.
Don't care *that* much about the loss, but the screwing up of my week's training plan - very much so.

Sigh...

Thank you both for the wise words. We will start work on arana now. Some of the things like come first and stay in cup are not easy so we do what we can. My team is all Japan but 2.

Malace you have no luck. We need much patience this season with the unbeatable teams here.

Yup. Two games I thought I'd win, one I get CT'd (that was a shock), and the next my best scorer only last 25 minutes!
Ugh.

Oh well, live and learn!

was it foul trouble or bad stamina?

Fouled out.

Yes, it'll be hard to start out because you may not have the money to have a deeper roster. Most players with high salaries are balanced or inflated by having higher skills in such as block or jump range. These are the skills good to have but not really important and you can live with it as low as 'respectable'. Balanced players are very good to have, but you can also win with monoskilled/role players if you are master of your tactics and predictions.

You can get away with lower salary players if you structured your team relative to your tactic.
you can find what is required for each tactics on the help forum. it will help you understand what sort of players you need.

I hope you'll understand what I am trying to point out. good luck.

We have wages at $71,000 less than one player on the Gamethrowers. Our tactic = win :)

We try to build our arena with extra money but good players always are to tempt us. Some day we wish a better trainer.

Question how bad is bad jump range? You talk about it. We have Ushio with prominent JS and pitiful JR. We will never train his JR. While we train JS he is PG, once we train PR he is SF. What you think?

LA-wolph is correct. It's really depends on your tactics but "GENERALLY" I find that JR about as high as strong is good for guards that play motion in this league. Its also depends on your opponents defense, some league you might need abit higher but respectable to strong here is OK.

I believe for a PG, Ushio's JR is quite low. unless his inside scoring is high and your tactics are look inside or base offense etc..
then you can get away from pitiful JR. But offense such as motion, ptb, r&g will need respectable or higher JR. Another good point is that, higher JR means his value on the market is higher aswell. SF also needs higher JR if you planning to turn Ushio to an SF.

We thank you both for your advice. The bad news for Ushio is while he got trained every single week last season 48+ and this season also every week at 48+ soon we will be stopping JS (as soon as Hisanobu pops) and moving onto OD and PA. Then 3 of my 6 trainees will be sad.

I had been wondering for a long time who to keep on training and who to drop. My current 6 guys are:
Daisaku Kawaida Weekly salary: $ 4 984 Age: 19 Height: 6'3" / 190 cm Potential: allstar
Jotaro Kinjo Weekly salary: $ 4 005 Age: 19 Height: 6'5" / 196 cm Potential: starter
Norihisa Ushio Weekly salary: $ 5 162 Age: 21 Height: 6'2" / 188 cm Potential: perennial allstar
Kohichi Matsuo Weekly salary: $ 3 878 Age: 18 Height: 6'2" / 188 cm Potential: allstar
Hisanobu Mitsuharu Weekly salary: $ 3 486 Age: 18 Height: 6'9" / 206 cm Potential: superstar
Noritada Konoe Weekly salary: $ 3 398 Age: 18 Height: 6'0" / 183 cm Potential: allstar

Jotaro and Norihisa are original team players and Noritada is my draft pick.

In the end I have decided
Daisaku - great all round player, already has prominent JS and good all around skills except stamina and FT. Train.
Jotaro - has 4 stats at strong already but that potential is a long term killer. No.
Norihisa - the pitiful JR is a turn off and the age is more. No.
Kohichi - these last 3 could go either way but he has atrocious passing and they will have to play PG to train. No.
Hisanobu - the height is a huge problem but the potential means he can one day be JBBL standard. Train.
Noritada - the worst of my trainees, inept OD, but at 6'0" he will train fast and as my draft pick I will benefit. Train.

I would love to hear from some of the experts so I will know if I have made the right choices. I hope one day at least one of them can make the U21 national team.
