Why couldn't I end up in a league like yours?

The 3rd place team in my Utopia league+conference has: a $50k center, $30k PG, $26k PF, another $10k G +$1 million in transactions already. Yay. So I probably won't even make it *to* the finals, despite being undefeated still. And having been ranked #13 in all of Utopia.

You know... The only thing I wanted out of Utopia was real games with scrubs vs. scrubs. At least for the first season or so. Instead I wound up in this unfun dbag of a league, where teams had big-time players in like week 2 already.

Anyway, I could probably afford a playoff roster of: 2 $50k centers, 2 $20k guards, & a $10k SF. + Solid backups at each position. Should I go for it?

Or just settle for 1st place + a playoff loss? Would first place + 2 losses be enough to promote? But, even if it is... it just sucks to see that team get a trophy. At least if it was one of the other teams winning....


Off topic... my cheerleaders have a new routine. I'll upload it somewhere when I get a chance. It Hruddey L'ward material, that's all I can say for now.

I think two losses would be able to promote with first place. It's sort of a crap shoot. The real incentive not to go for "auto" promote is you miss out on the season ticket holders (or at least I think that is the case?).

My league does have a chinese day trader with +1M in transfers that could purchase a championship if he wanted.
Two guys that made DEEP tournament runs and are fielding way more salary than me. And hrudey...who looks cute in pink.


I'm seriously considering selling off my entire roster at the playoff deadline if I can make it with one loss to the end of the season.

I'm also considering upping merchandising by selling "I love DPs!" and "DPs make me scream!" T-shirts.

Yea, I have very well balanced scrubs at the moment and am considering selling off my only decent players just before the playoffs. After yesterday's loss, it looks like I am locked into 5th. I was going to try and edge into 4th, but it's not looking likely. A lot of the teams that are doing well have players that are 20k+ salary and 35+ years old. It's frustrating; I was hoping they would suck by now, but I still got knocked off by one last night. I actually think the probably might be that 10 of my 14 players have atrocious experience. XP is an under-rated skill.

Also, the team that looks like he's going to win the league (or at least promote) is the one that won the Utopia Cup. That's right, we have the team that won it all.
