AVQ is a bit misleading, and 60-70 still isn't too bad at this point in the game.
I suppose I could sell the few valuable depth players I have before they too become unsellable players that still don't start. Unfortunately, a true difference maker in the short run (who will continue to be valuable in the long run) could cost around 40,000,000, and I can't sacrifice sponsor money earmarked for facilities. I'm not even sure that a player like that would be enough to make a difference at this point rather than divert potential funds from my facilities.
After eliminating the players that won't sell for much, the starters, and an eventual replacement for S. Carpenter, I could probably spare 3-4 players, probably Bohannon, Buchanan, a goalkeepr (I could either sell the 3rd string 17 year old Hungarian, if he still has value at 17, or the solid 16 year old who is currently my starter), and whoever else I might replace. They would have to sell for at least an average of 10,000,000 to make it worthwhile though.
Whatever I do, I'm definitely going to increase my average match importance pretty soon.
wow!!! my pivot got disqualified with 6 minutes remaining and the replacement on his first and only shot scores the winning goal with only 4 seconds remaining in the match!!!
cataclysm stole one point from miojo and salt lake lost to team usa. Now I am 3.5 matches ahead of 2nd an 4 ahead of 3rd.
Chicago Ruckus played a half on High. Team USA played both on Normal (that is how he usually plays).
Top 6 are getting some distance and all others (7) but one are fighting for 2 places.
If those dont start to step up the intensity, they may be out of playoffs. And they are all pretty good teams.
In the other hand, the top 6 are winning and getting some distance but winning has not been easy. things can easily change if a few of those 7 start winning matches.
Oops, didn't realize my backup goalie was injured, so I only played with one goalie. On the bright side, found out that my goalie gives me a 39 goaltending rating.
Geez, I am starting to wonder how important the "Team Strength" ratings are... I feel like my team is under-performing so far, especially my goalie with another sub 30% day...
