Silly machine, you were supposed to specify the season.

"still" implied we were ever worse

Test sims are pretty useless with regular sim updates.

If we're overachieving with the the highest average TPE, then wtf is New York doing?

You don't even know bad.

woo Bentley is good at something!

Czech Republic is where it's at.

but... the leaders page

Moher had high TPE in S35 and I went in with 250 or 270 or something with Chershenko in S27. I don't think either of us beat Kanou from S18, which was shortly before the change to the carryover rules (it was 15% in 6th season so you can imagine what the totals could potentially have been today). Bencharski (another sterling player) might have done well in S19. So, there was a bit of a lull I guess and obviously Slaughter set a record but it's been kind of up and down for 20 seasons now.

That's what you want us to believe.

Yeah, I mean for all the good of S37, you're looking at 24ish good prospects and by the 4th round it died down. Depth-wise, S40 is on an unstoppable roll. You're looking at S5 levels and the drafts before. Between S18 and S37, I'd say a look at S27 and S33 would be nice. I'm sure they'll be behind but those were the best drafts of the recent generations. Maybe S31, the first expansion draft.

Only USA and Canada play soccer so it's not really a contest. Australia all the way. P.S. American football is the worst thing to happen to the real man's sport: rugby.

I wouldn't call him young, he's 31 in October. I think United will go for two or three from Rojo, Jones, Smalling, and Evans. Good luck with that.

Technically inaccurate, you've got all sorts of weird health problems.

I would laugh very hard if United now ended up signing Dante.

Don't think anyone knew him in spring 2013 but then he joined Roma from Udinese and turned out to be arguably the best defender in Serie A. Of course, Roma only played once a week + Coppa Italia and I couldn't predict how he'll cope with more matches or being the 3rd/4th defender. But he's intelligent and can score headers. Godin might be a good comparison. He was one of the captains near the end of the season though and demanded the highest wages or close enough from Roma. Roma is all about loyalty and longevity (see Totti, de Rossi) so they didn't take too well to that. Tried to reason, offered an improved contract, he forced his way out. Bayern got a great defender and Roma reinvested well too. Everyone wins. And he didn't end up at either Manchester so I'm happy enough.

Bentley decided to let you play in this one.

So, League One MK Dons beat United 4-0 in the League Cup. True story: I used to work at their stadium (it's a town nearby)

Hmm yes. Scratch that, VHL rule it is.

Because it can be beneficial for the VHLM, unlike the VHL, to bring members back from the dead with little TPE. I guess there are no career stats for VHLM... and new members will probably like goalies with names more. So why not?

A very good one too. Though a bit full of himself.

As for active free agent, it'd be someone who has been online or accepts within 24 hours.

In light of the lack of parity and balance in the VHLM for a number of seasons now, the Board of Governors, the VHL and the VHLM commissioners have been working on some changes to the VHLM rulebook during Season 39. These have finally been finalised and are listed below. Some will be implemented immediately after S39 while others, to give VHLM GMs a chance to adapt, will come into place after S40. Changes for Season 40 - 50 TPE CPU goalies to each team (like DAV G, NYA G, HEL G, etc in the VHL) Free Agency - 1 inactive FA per team, 1-year contract max, can not be traded - 1 active FA per team, can not be traded in first season of contract Draft - Draft lottery for non-playoff teams (same system as VHL (consult rulebook for details)) - Drafted players' rights reduced to 3 seasons Waivers - Two separate waiver orders based off of player TPE (<24 TPE, >24 TPE) - >24 TPE waiver priority must be offered in order to sign any type of free agent. Change for Season 41 - Max of 3 1st round picks and 6 picks overall in first 2 rounds of the draft NOTE: All existing FA contracts and VHLM draftees will be 'grandfathered' in and will not be subject to the rule changes. However, teams will still only be allowed ONE free agent signing, under new or old rules.
