Well it wasn't the greatest win last night against Barbados but at least it was a win.

The coach decided that in his current GS Firosh was getting 0 minutes which really surprised me, I thought he would get a few - but I did set "let coach decide". Our star by far was Gnanam from the PG position who had 44 points on 17/24 shooting and 7 assists. Very impressive!

Gnanam indeed performed great!
Firosh has a mediocre GS, so that's probably the reason. Maybe the coach knows the mediocre GS doesn't help the team (but kinda sucks for me, cuz I wanted to see if he perfoms alright, so that I can use that info to decide whether i should play him in tomorrow's playoff game :P).
I'm bit surprised that Peppin's rating was low even though he played as a SF...

It is hard to get a good SF rating unless you have good OD and ID.

to be honest, there PG must have about inept OD :p
rapt with Gnanam's game but questions have to be asked of their D!!
Win's a win, good stuff :)

They need to be good at this stage...

IPL
31/5 Detriot Pistons Ajanta Aslam 18 4k p-allstar (first team and already some worth saving, this sucks)***
31/5 Force India None.
4/6 Game Spoilerz - a few guys for the senior team to consider and Dharmakeerti Kapoor 4k 19yo HoF
4/6 Major Ball Blockers - more potential senior team guys.

II.1
31/5 BDU Kajol Singh 19 4k MVP
1/6 EnaZuma eleven Chenduraimuthu Lalitha 19 6k allstar

II.2
1/6 cicargo None.
5/6 Hasvita Eagles None.

II.3
2/6 black bitress None.
2/6 cavialiars Chitral Tanwar 19 3.5k ss
3/6 weki Ajath Mehrotra 18 3k MVP
3/6 shandipon xi Abhijeet Pradhan 18 3.5k p-allstar

II.4
4/6 arex kr (were about to promote...) Gokulan Rajan 18 6'0" 3.5k MVP ***
4/6 zak 11 Bhoominathan Koppuravuri 18 5k allstar
5/6 lachoff None.
5/6 cgs Svanik Meethi 18 2.5k ss and Abhimakar Viswanathan19 4.5k p-allstar and Mohiuddin Haque 19 3.5k ss

So that is 12 potential saves. If we want to complete the mission maybe I should but it will kill our scrimmages however they are just scrimmages. On the other hand we could just save Ajanta Aslam the very first guy and maybe Gokulan Rajan . Tough call, what do you think guys?

I personally think that since the draft is so soon, there will be bunch of better players to come who've just turned 18. So maybe like you said, just save those 2, and forget the rest.
And maybe even those managers who buy them may not train because they may look for better trainees once the TL gets flooded with rookies.

I am in two minds. On the one hand these guys are worth a lot less. On the other hand it is just scrimmages and I noticed at least two other NTs adding and removing players in my league, Lithuania and someone else half decent, so they don't care about the scrimmage results.

I am thinking I will just remove all the non-core players again and save everyone that isn't pathetic, it is just a scrimmage and there is an enthusiasm reset in two or three weeks anyway. I can also check out the guys who will be botted in the next two weeks and know who to save and who to not save and I can get an early look at the progress of the guys for our team next season.

I am just waiting for up to date information on the exact date of the enthusiasm reset.

I suppose then, that we get rid of most of the players from our team, so that you can take a look at those players in advance. Indeed, it's only a scrimmage, and I'm quite sure that nobody really cares about the results anyways, especially because all our stars are 21 year old and they wont be on the team next season.
So yes, just kick out most of the useless players and then you can do some scouting, which should lessen your job in future.

This is so dissapointing. Aanand Chinnakali is a reasonable player 18, 6'0" superstar with $4k wages. I got a good trainer to bid $150,000 on him, a more than reasonable price. He would have been trained very well. Instead a dirty day trader bid $156,000, hasn't trained him and is now trying to sell him for $450,000. The one good thing I can do is remove him from the team (along with the rest anyway). But what a waste. I hate day traders ruining our team.

Enthusiasm was back up to 4. Here it goes back down...

Drop one guys it goes to 3.

Drop a second guy it goes to 2.

Drop a third and it is 1, can go crazy now!
