It's a bit of a rookie roulette at this point. If you're smart with decisions and try and downgrade/upgrade cheapies at the right times, you'll make money.

Anyone spend way too much time refreshing this thread on their work computer? Haha

 

[Moranther]

I don't mean to talk you out of anything but you only have 1 player in your entire roster (Powell) playing 4 games next round. Disregard if tanking Rd5

There's only 8 teams that play 4 games anyway so most will take a bit of a hit.

Next week is a write-off for me. Can’t be fixed

I currently have 5x 4 gamers for Rd5 in my starting team. Will trade to make that 8 next week so hoping to make up ground.

Thanks for that, I didn't notice that I only have 1 player playing 4 games next round. Haha, I'm not tanking.
It seems I've been overly focused on cash generation. If all my trade-ins achieve their projected cash increase, then I could make $3,840,000, although I'm aware that's unlikely to happen.

Thank you for the reassurance, I'll refrain from entering panic mode, haha.

Don't you hate it when this becomes the priority over work

 

[Bermi]

Do players who play in four games a week perform better than when they play three games? Additionally, do players involved in four games weekly receive more rest time on the bench?

Great questions. I'd love to see some stats on averages (points and minutes) in three-game vs four-game weeks.

I'll do some investigation and calculation for this season so far and let's see what comes up.

Generally a bit of both ....
- picking a player on 4 gives you a slight buffer
- big guns on 3 will generally score better than a mid pricer on 4

Where it gets tricky is B2B fours .... then there is a higher chance that a player might miss a game ..

It would be good to know the results.

 

[Tails]

[Tails]

Would you prefer to keep Gradey D or Agbaji?

Agbaji

 

[Moranther]

Kuzma in, George on the bench.

 

[Connoisseur]

Out: Holmgren and Young
In: Vucevic and Boston Jr

No PF/C status restricts some flexibility in comparison to Towns but has the max schedule. Likely means I wait a few more rounds for Jokic if I look to spend elsewhere or grab Giannis and Haliburton next round.

Powell could replace Dićk but still leaves nine million for say Braun to Haliburton/Irving if I wish to use my third boost. Largely comes down to the availability of Carrington.

Out: Braun and Dićk
In: Powell and Mathurin


Not a fan of trading Braun, grabbing Powell and leaving just shy of $8 million in the bank but should allow Giannis next round whilst grabbing Mathurin a round early with a negative breakeven.

Yeh you gotta remember NBA teams aren’t looking at just the “weekly schedule”
Not all 4 game weeks are equal
Back ended previous week and front ended 4 game week can become 6 games in 9 nights type thing.
That’s where @Tails schedule planner is so handy.

 

[T43597]

Been a pleasure to watch Wemby this half!

 

[mattdickster]

1116 jokic C last week
Saved a boost by choosing Chet team over AD team lost points and now have to deal Chet this week.

On holidays atm so didn’t give myself much time to play with line ups this morning.
Quickly looked at fielding Sarr/Edey this week but decided on bringing in Sabonis & Wemby for Joker Chet.
Too early in the season to hold $8mill on bench so boosted Braun to Garland instead of fielding Risacher (3)
