This is a thread that I plan to do periodically regarding players that are most deserving of an MVP up until the actual vote takes place.

On to the races!

1. Fred Fountain (FC Shocker)- He is on the team with IV. 22's best record and is putting up crazy stats. 38.7 pts (55.9 Fg% 51.0 3p%) , 7 rebs and 7 ast! He has also completely shut down every other SG he has played this season while only taking 1.5 Pf in 46.9 minutes. Only thing that may hurt his chance at MVP is his GS which still hasn't stopped him from dropping monster stats.

2. Xiao Xebin (Flash Mashers)- Another player on a team with a great record. Despite playing only 27.8 minutes, he still performs! 19.0pts ( 64.2 Fg% 100% FT) and 13.5 rebs (4.0 off). An excellent defender as his past games have shown. His per 48 stats put other players at his position in the dust including his own teammate Porter Thomas, who also has a good shot at MVP.

3. Alginmantas Teresas (Sharks 13)- possibly the new best SF in this league and is catching up to Fountain in performance. His offense is excellent 33.5 pts (57.9 Fg% 38.9 3p%) while chipping in 7.2 rebs and 2.2 steals. His defense is not too shabby as he grabs his steals while on nabbing .7 Pfs per his 40.4 minutes. He is the key reason his team is where it is as many players aren't carrying their wait.

4. Porter Thomas (Flash Mashers)- The second part of a mighty big three. A solid 22.2 pts (63.9 Fg%) and 12.5 rebs in 38.7 minutes. He is also a major pest pulling 1.5 steals and 1.5 blks. While not quite as efficient as his teammate Xebin, he still is dominant.

5. Spiros Xiros (Flash Mashers)- The league leader in assistsin an efficient 30.8 minutes. Has proven to be dynamic as he can play PG or SG and fit into the offense without any problems. 13.2 pts and 1.0 stls. While his stats aren't the biggest he makes Thomas and Xebin that much more dangerous with his passing and great OD.

6. Hector Peralta (Detroit Darts)- Another excellent passer and scorer who can be played effectively from the 1-3 positions. A vet who can score 17.5 pts (51.7 Fg%), pass with 7.2 assists (1.7 TOs) and defend with excellent pressure at 3.0 steals. He may pass Xiros on this list soon as he is just a better rounded player, but for now Xiros' distribution and his team record tell the tale.

7. Martin Tran (FC Shocker)- the other half of FC's dynamic duo, Tran can score and distriute as he puts up 31.7 pts, 7.5 rebs along with 5.5 assists. While he is an excellent force on both ends of the floor, Tran plays 47.9 mins and needs to share the ball more in that time. On the other hand Fountain simply scores and passes more in less minutes. Tran is still a dominant force despite his ball hogging nature.

8. Jarrett Kohler (El Puerco Grande)- A young player on a fresh new team in this league who fits into a great offensive system. He helps move the ball (6.2 ast) and scores at will (22.5 pts). While one could place his teammate Bakhoum ahead of him stat wise, Kohler has proven to be more consistent.

9. Ken Omalley (Monster Island Kaiju)- While not a stat hog, an important young player on a team that is doing surprisingly well in spite of recent circumstances. 11.0 pts (58.1 Fg%), 8.5 rebs and solid tenacity 1.5 stl, 1.7 blocks and .7 pfs show how important he is to a well balanced team that really has no single superstar, but deserves an MVP.

10. Wendell Kincaid (Legend Killers)- A player who seems to carry his team at times, Wendell is saving a team that currently struggles on offense by dropping 24.8 pts and adding 4.5 rebs and 3.5 assists. Considering the team offense his assist count is pretty high.

Huang Ruoxiong (25.5 pts 13.2 rebs 1.5 blks) and Jason Varney (25.0 pts 6.2 rebs 8.0 ast) are both playing amazing, but a player must lead their team to wins to be of value. When the Miami Tigers and Royal Die Hard start to pull off some hard earned wins, then Ruoxiong and Varney have high ranks awaiting them.

#1, I'm so thankful to finally be back to some semblance of reality after finally picking up a win

#2, I'd comment with my usual sorrow that none of my stars are included... except they're barely playing as I train, so no complaints there. They're fairly defense oriented anyways, and that usually doesn't earn a lot of love it seems :-)

Enjoyed the writeup. Fountain is one of the top players in the game, and there's a reason he's nominated for the US NT! Hard to compete with that!

When your team starts coming back, a good few of your players will get some MVP love. Jack Wall and Pintore come to mind first, but we will have to see how the team does. I am sure that the Thunderstorms will be back by playoff time, so I am looking forward to see what happens.

Wow awesome post, nice to see my players being recognized. After that OT game with you I've kinda had to re-asses how I stand in this league... but why haven't you included you're big man Mieczysław Sniezynski? Buzzer-Manager has him as the second most efficient player in the entire league behind Fred Fountain... especially with a crazy 73% from the field.

My players might begin to increase in stats once I get knocked out of the cup, but hopefully that won't be for a while.

Thanks for the thread. You can leave my guys off if necessary. Its no secret that I did a rage release before starting to rebuild last season. I'm not supposed to be winning, but oh well.

The training system is really starting to bother me. Weird random pops are happening to players under 48 minutes, and those given the minutes and attention are not popping.

Thanks again for the thread. Its was most informative.

I did finally get a couple pops this week. Then again, stamina depopped on one of the same guys, and I've been training the same thing for a while now. So I hear ya! I'm quietly trying to rebuild and stay competitive.

I've always loved how similar mine and Springfield's team are. And now we both start bad, then win the past 2 with stifling defensive efforts. My emotion right now? Relieved! I'm not sure how I'll play the rest of the season... but at least it has some more enticing choices now!

After the next game of the week on Tuesday, I plan to release my second edition with a lot of key movers and surprises.

What in blue blazes!?! 9300 fans suddenly show up for my game against Miami???? I guess it was all the people coming up to Orlando from Miami!?!

Anyone seen anything like that??? That's my alltime record attendance, and it wasn't a rivalry or televised, wasn't exactly the #1 team, wasn't the playoffs, my team had struggled early, I didn't change prices, and didn't hire a PR manager. Don't get that one!

Did you have a relatively high Fan Survey?? You're team's just starting to pull out of that slump from the beginning of the season, probably helped you out.

I do, though they've been reasonable for a few years. I guess beating Legend Killers sharply, who is my rival helped. Then again, I just sold one of my two core players for the past 10 seasons. Maybe they the fans were just waiting for me to make a big move???
I don't know, though, it's basically my alltime record attendance for me ever, and that's coming off a season and a half of near perfection... and then things have really been shoddy the past couple months in play.
And tonight attendance was similar to the last.

Oh well, thanks for thoughts :)

we both got off to a slow start but looks like things are turning around, the league got shook up pretty good with the new teams flash are wicked good, and the teams seemed to improve more in off season then in the past hope i can keep up this year
