Edited June 19, 20168 yr by Kam

Looks pretty good and a big "thank you" for all the work you put in @Kam ......

 

Just a couple quick thoughts...

 

1,000,000: I think it is seriously time to think about dropping Cena down a level. I know he is the man, but is there any real chance he gets a title over the next 3 to 4 months?? It might be time to move him down a bracket and Dean up into the million dollar slot...

 

800,000: I think that you have Brock, Bray, and Orton over-valued.... I know that there is a lot of talk about them coming back, but they have not done so yet...and with the whole MMA thing again, who knows how many times Brock is gonna show his face??

 

600,000: Strowman,Harper,Rowan, and Young all priced to high..... And it may be just my thoughts, but Titus is under-valued, I think maybe he should be bumped up a bracket.

 

500,000: Should there be that big of a gap between Fandango and Breeze?

 

400,000: Looks good...

 

200,000: THERE IS NO WAY THAT BOB BACKLAND IS WORTH THAT MUCH!!!!!!:)

 

Just my thoughts..... really looking forward to the next season!!!!

Rusev overpriced, stroman and rowan, and big show down a level. Will NXT be included in next season, also when is next season starting.

Solomon Crowe needs taking out, since he's gone now.

 

I agree that Fandango and Breeze should both be in the same price bracket, especially if their little storyline with Goldust and R-Truth is gonna continue.

 

I'd probably suggest moving Big Show down a bracket as well, to bring him in line with Kane and Mark Henry?

Cena always seems to do very well with points, he may not win the title during the next season but I'm pretty certain he'll still score highly.

 

800,000: I think that you have Brock, Bray, and Orton over-valued.... I know that there is a lot of talk about them coming back, but they have not done so yet...and with the whole MMA thing again, who knows how many times Brock is gonna show his face??

I thought Bray and Orton were cleared...so I'm expecting them back soon. Brock is meant to have a big match at SummerSlam so I'm also expecting him to return to screens nearer the time. Although we all know he won't have many matches so it might be worth moving him down...

 

600,000: Strowman,Harper,Rowan, and Young all priced to high..... And it may be just my thoughts, but Titus is under-valued, I think maybe he should be bumped up a bracket.

All done except for Young. I'm expecting him to have an initial push, with all the vignettes airing, he should have some momentum. I can't see Titus still getting a push after the Rusev feud, I think it will just be a temporary push then back down the card.

 

500,000: Should there be that big of a gap between Fandango and Breeze?

Nope, fixed.

 

200,000: THERE IS NO WAY THAT BOB BACKLAND IS WORTH THAT MUCH!!!!!!:)

I imagine he'll be brought out as Young's coach on screen so he's guaranteed points each week so I thought he should be here.

 

Rusev overpriced, stroman and rowan, and big show down a level. Will NXT be included in next season, also when is next season starting.

Done. The weekly shows won't be included but any live shows on the Network will - I still need to confirm dates.

 

Solomon Crowe needs taking out, since he's gone now.

Done, done and done!

Yes!! This means the new season must be getting close!!

Brackets look pretty damn good to me

Looks pretty good and a big "thank you" for all the work you put in @Kam ......

I was about to type pretty much all of this same stuff, I agree with what Kontrolled says here. I don't see Cena in the title picture really soon, Orton has been missing a while, Lesnar is being rumored to show up at UFC again...

 

*edit* Hadn't read Kam's response yet, my bad, and they are good points....

I've decided to move Brock down to $600,000.

 

The brackets in the first post are the latest version, so if anyone still has any concerns, let me know!

OK...current plans are to launch sometime on Sunday.

 

Here are the provisional dates:

 

Start Date: 11th July 2016 (Raw)

Finish Date: 25th September 2016 (Night of Champions)

 

Pick changes

• Friday 22nd July 2016 (Post Draft pick change / 2 days before Battleground)
  
• Monday 8th August 2016
  
• Monday 29th August 2016
  
• Monday 19th September 2016
  

If you have any suggestions/changes for the brackets I need to know by Saturday please.

Yah we have a start date can't wait c u guys very soon

:partygroup:Glad to see the league starting up again. Always have a great time. The only issue I really have is that its hard to move up in the ranks once you get stuck at the bottom or middle. Even if there is a big injury or suspension, the next pick change is only 2 weeks (at the most) away. So if your at the bottom or middle your trying to make drastic changes which we know aren't going to work. So I was wondering if you ever thought about brackets and maybe winners of that going head to head? Either way super excited to get this season started and hoping to whoop everyone's ass!!!

So I was wondering if you ever thought about brackets and maybe winners of that going head to head?

Could you elaborate on what you mean by this? I'm always open to ideas/suggestions!

@Kam Well I only think this because when I get stuck there in the middle low end, I lose interest in the league. So my idea would be something like taking however many in the league and breaking it down to like 10 or so mini brackets with 10 or so teams in each. Then your only competing against whoever would be in your league not 60 people in front of you. Then when you get a couple weeks to the end take the top out of each and have them play each other. picking new roster each week and playing against eachother. then advancing and moving on till there is 1 champion left. Kind of how American football/baseball playoffs are played. Again just an idea and I'm on this side of it, I dont know whats involve with coding and any other of the computer shit to go along with that. Either way I am going to keep playing. thanks

That sounds like it could get pretty complicated! Taking the top few in each bracket and having them play each other wouldn't work as we've seen players jump to win the league when they've not even in the top 5.

 

I've been thinking of ideas of trying to make things more interesting for the players outside the top 20 but I haven't thought of anything practicable/suitable yet.

I can personally attest to big jumps and drops, especially after PPV's. I've gone from somewhere in the 30's down to mid 60's then back up into the teens. All depends on your picks and the pick changes definitely change up your point spread if you pick just right.
