Report on our list of inactive but not botted teams.

We will be looking for teams that were last active from about the 16/5 to the 22/5 for saving.

Active Teams: 66 -> 69 this week. Still trending up.

IPL
4 bots already but none heading that way.

II.1
None.

II.2
17/5 Asish Boys
19/5 Georgerockers
20/5 youngstar united
22/5 LA Indians

II.3
17/5 rigney

II.4
None. A lot of human teams here now, this is the growth league. It will be interesting to see if the next expansion is back to II.1 or to III.1.

Players worth saving. Remember at this stage they need to be good.

II.2
17/5 Asish Boys No-one.

19/5 Georgerockers
Achudaraman Azad $2.5k 18 SS - maybe but very low skills.

20/5 youngstar united
Citragu Selladurai 18 4k p-allstar. Awesome!
They have 4 19 year olds and may have even trained some. All are ok, one is a 5k guy but starter potential, maybe the best is Takshak Jalajamani who is a 19 year old 7'0" ss but only $3,000 salary.

22/5 LA Indians TWO HALL OF FAMERS! WOW! How does one team get so lucky? Great salaries too.
Dousik Srivastava 5k 19 HoF.
Svaminath Savariraj 6k 19 HoF.
I would love to save both of these guys.

II.3
17/5 rigney
Has a 19 5k star but that can't compare to the two HoFs.

So that is three guys I want to save and we only have 2 spots left. I may drop one guy but we will take an enthusiasm hit that could cost us the scrimmage against LUX. I think I will take the risk and best to do it now so I will drop the injured Cheranpandian Pushparaj.

Enthusiasm is still 4 from all those drops of weeks ago.

Dropped. Enthusiasm is lower but still rounds to 4.

Honestly speaking I dont think that saving those HOFs would help,i mean look at their age,its 19 and in a matter of a few weeks they will be 20...so training them wont help...
I think that the only savable player is citragu selladurai...

My opponent played 0 players in my scrimmage, Kaliranjan's training game. The team fired their entire roster sometime between the last league game and the scrimmage.

Not happy!

That is really annoying. I do partially agree about the HoF guys but maybe they have had some training, I wont know until I add them. If the team had any sense they would have had some. We shall see, even if they can't help the U21 team - which they can lets face it, we had $10,000 guys making big contributions this season, they can help the NT some day if someone will just stick with them.

Saved the following and they should be on sale monday.

Scrimmage is against Luxembourg tomorrow. Their best player is in mediocre GS and while their big men are better than ours our guards should dominate theirs. Should be a good game.

Not a lot of pops on our players this week. You would think with 18 young stars there would be a lot more. Gnanam and Ghosh both improved their scoring and Kumar had a passing pop. That is it for the stars, some of the rookies had pops but only 4 in total including the free throws. 8 pops from 18 guys is really bad. Maybe better next week.

From my mentees, Vihang Singh, who's on the TL right now, has 8 pops so far, Chitrada Porsezhian has 9 pops and Mahendravarman Singh has 7 pops so far.

Hopefully these 18 year old ones have at least 9 pops each.

Vihang Singh is good - wow 8 pops is excellent. I wish he had a bit more passing, that pitiful passing is a killer. But as a 6'0" MVP I still like him a lot. I will see if I can get someone who will continue to train him well to make a bid.

I like Vihang Singh too. With the right training, he'll be a good guard. There's no chance for him to be a PG, but he can be a good SG. Hopefully he'll be one of the leading guards in coming seasons.

His issue is that to be single position trained in OD he will have to spend a lot of time as a PG and he will suck. Maybe just smash it up to at least sensational while he is 19 in scrimmages and then it wont matter so much later about his horrific passing.
