Here's another way to look at my main problem... Imagine plotting "player performance" on that x-axis of a graph with "player value" on the y-axis. This could be bb-rating and TL price, but doesn't have to be. And for simplicity, let's imagine it only for centers. So, what does the graph look like? I think (without having actually done it, but based on lots of evidence), it's an inverted-U. That means that at some point, making a player better makes him less valuable. I challenge you (I'm not sure who I'm arguing with, so "you" here means the person I'm imagining angrily shaking my fist at) to find any league in any sport in any country that would have an inverted-U shaped plot here. Every sport I can think of or imagine has a monotonically increasing trend (linear, non-linear, whatever, but never with value decreasing as ability increases).

A CT? Really?
Any two will do

3 OTs for me this week, and two 2pt losses. Yay.

Blanking the lineup, eh? All the latest technology...

In other news, I have no idea why my game was as close as it turned out to be, given the ratings.

I've been doing that for over a season now. I think it actually cost me against you last year, because my best defenders didn't play the most minutes.
