Hey shikago:

This is a good time to sell many of your oldies. Guys at 38+ are moving like hotcakes

Thanks for the tip, but would rather get rid of my useless draft picks instead! And sadly I'll probably end up *needing* 1 or 2 extra players this season. Since my key guys are all 34-37.

BTW, what's the best time of day to make the new team? Not sure if I should do it now, or wait til tomorrow afternoon.

I've come up with about 100 name choices now. Some funny, some not.

But on 2nd thought, that's exactly what the patriarchy wants. Instead by reusing our team names, we can help deconstruct the oppressive BB hegemony & oppose their institutional desires. And be decolonial & radical in the face of cis-gendered patriarchal gatekeepers like Hrudey. Others like SaulTNuts have seemingly noticed this, & join me in rejecting BB assimilationist practices as well as the hierarchical heteropatriarchal racial nationalism endemic in BB.

Man, that got me fired up! That's exactly why I didn't change my team name for my Utopia team! Well, that and I was too lazy to update my Logo/Banner.

Awesome! It's now trending on BB.
We have to unlearn imperialistic constructs like anti-laziness. To show solidarity I've also used the same type of slash in my 2nd team's name.

How many of you are actually trying to compete this season? I admire those that do. It just seems like, with the market inflation and lack of a salary floor, it makes sense to train a skeleton squad and expand your arena with the weekly profits.

Decided to go ahead and sign up.
No great trainees. A couple starter potential 18 year olds and 21 year old star/all-star guys. Will still train them if i ever buy a trainer. For now it's stamina and free throws.

For overall strategy, not really worried about being great. When they first announced this as a second team in another country I was planning on having a team in Senegal, so I'm thinking I might do sort of a themed team and only buy players from Senegal or just from Africa. Then have a team of Africans + home grown draft picks.
Just something silly to play with.

I'm going to buy players that aren't overpriced and see how well I do. Does that count as competing?
I have to admit that you're right, skeleton tanking sounds like a great plan. But I just finished doing that on my real team

I need someone with more time than me to verify where a team would need to finish to promote in Utopia. So there will be 16 D3 Leagues with 16 teams each (there would be 16 D3's, right?) for 256 teams. 79 D4 Leagues that will each have one autoqualifier for the winner. That leaves 177 other teams to promote. So roughly another 2.25 teams per league. I'm guessing it will be done like bot cleanup and the best records would promote.

Would it be more profitable to promote and go skeleton crew in D3?
