I guess I'll start the new thread...
I'm back in D3 for the 4th time. Hopefully to stay.... I was only able to avoid relegation once before.
I fired all of my terrible draftees... I wasted 40 some-odd scouting points for no apparent reason.
Good luck to everyone, I can't wait to compete at a higher level!

well good luck this season. I hope it goes better for you and you stick around.

I've found that drafting seems to be a lot of money on a gamble that doesnt pay off. Say you put in 150000-20000 you may get the guy you want. Or you could save it and buy a rookie more to your liking for around the same or cheaper. just my opinion.

I have some 20 year old trainees I'm focusing on for a couple more seasons.
When I have trainees I still look to the draft to try and make some quick cash early in the season selling some high value 18 yr olds. Lately I have been scouting/interviewing every 18 year old that are 7'+. Only one of them had 3 ball potential and the rest were 1 or 2.
So I ended up doing the same with the 19 year olds, then I went to the 6'2" and shorter, and couldn't find anyone above 4 ball potential and I didn't even draft them because I promoted lol.

I'm anti-draft. It's a fun idea but hard to say that it is worth it, especially if you are trying to be competitive. Better just to save your money and spend it on transfers or another part of your team.

It really is a Lottery. You pay $ every week hoping you can get a draftee you can sell right away for $1m+. Or hoping you can train him and make more lol.

I tend to only invest in seasons where I know I’ll have a high pick. I’ll pay for 1-2 points a week, depending on how much I’m making, or zero if I’m really pushing for promotion. Then when I’m demoting or in a bot heavy d4, I have a bit of a stockpile to put towards the draft from seasons past. Granted, the last time I invested was 2 seasons ago when I dropped from D2 to this league and the draft was as weak as any I’ve ever seen, and I spent like 80 some points for nothing lol. But that’s just the way it goes I guess.

That being said, last seasons MVP Knutson was my first draft pick I got when I came back to BB and started this team a few seasons ago. I started mid season and didn’t have enough weeks to buy the points to do a ton of in-depth scouting, but I managed to find a 5/5 18 year old and he’s carried my team for several seasons now.

Cup game tomorrow: vs white -red knights...

How often have you guys been in a Cup game with someone in your own league? I think this is the first.
I'll play white -red knights again on May 8th.

I dont think i ever have been in a cup game in the same league.

However, I have a hunch that I've been in the same league as DCDP before when I played my first time around as ThatOneTeam. Its been a couple years though...

It's happened to me a few times. Never liked it. I actually pull for all of us in the cup and not just to maybe get a schedule win.

Respect to anyone who can still be in the cup after the all-star break.

It's Play-Off time!!!!
Any predictions? From my analysis, Cyborgs seems to be the team to beat. They are tied for 3rd in Points scored and are first in Points Allowed (almost -300 from #2 spot). So I'd rank them #1 in Def and #3 in Offense.
I'm planning on winning the first playoff game. But I won't likely make it to the championship so I'm focused on training minutes instead.
