Bridges IV's S97 Five Goals, Dreams, & Aspirations...

[Oatex 321]

Well, I'm writing this a bit late, as season 97 has already kicked off, but I do have some goals and standards that I plan to hit this season to ensure that my player has the highest level development as possible. These goals will include statistical marks, awards, build plans, etc. It truly will just be a guide for myself on how to string along my player.

 

Starting off, I want to play in the WJC S97 tournament for Team Europe this offseason. It would mean a lot being a rookie and already being selected to play with the upcoming stars of the league. Just coming off a gold medal with Asia as a GM, I want to help Europe get back into the swing of things after a bronze medal finish in S96. This is gonna be my main goal for this season, and I believe its pretty achievable.

Secondly, I wanna score around .35 PPG for my rookie season in the M. This would mean if I play all 72 games this season - which I also do plan on - id finish with about 25 points to my name. Obviously this is nothing special, and most definitely achievable, but hey, stuff happens. Considering I'm already 2 games in and have 1 point, things are going according to plan so far!

 

Thirdly, if that's a word, I set myself a big goal which is achievable, but is gonna be challenging. I'm currently ranked 12th in all of S98 prospects, and I want to get into the top 8 of all S98 prospects. I am earning more capped TPE than the 4 people ahead of me, and if I'm feeling bold, I might even go for top 7 - who knows. Anyways, top 8 is the main goal, and with consistent earning like I've been doing so far, I want to hit the top 8 club.

 

Fourthly, I want to make it to playoffs. If you look at my team, the Houston Bulls, we have a pretty solid roster - and were already 2-0. With that being said, this wouldn't be too much of a challenge, more of an expectancy. Therefore, I wanna win at least one playoff series, if not two. This will kick off a great start to my young career, and provide a case as to why I'm a winning player and lead me straight into the VHL draft. Once again, this is a team goal and not a personal goal, but I feel if I can contribute enough, it will turn into a personal goal as well.

 

Last but not least, we have a VERY big challenge coming in. I'm still getting used to the new rules, as the last time I had a player was S89 and I was barely active. The VHLE was still a thing, so I believe now that the cap for the M is 400? I'm currently earning 14 TPE a week at minimum, and I want this to be an extremely successful build. I did some calculations and it seems the average season is about 4 weeks long, playoffs take another 2 weeks, and then the offseason is about another 2-3 weeks. That being said, over the course of this season I can earn around 115-125 TPE, and get myself up to 230-240 TPE. With all the uncapped TPE possible, and training camp - im setting the goal for me to be at 265 TPE by the start of next season.
