I have the measliest arena in the league. No wonder I never have any money.

I am so impressed by homegrown teams. I don't know how you do it, but think it is awesome. I am about ready to blow this experiment up and demote to d.4 and start again.

Lately I have been buying old dudes and running them into the ground and then buying new old dudes. It’s kept me competitive, but I never have any money, and every year I feel like I am hanging on by a thread. I think a couple season tank, stadium improvement, and several high quality trainees will really help me. I have never intentionally tanked in this game, so even entertaining the idea of doing so is tough.

Best of luck in the playoffs!

Having a home grown team, for the most part, I will say it is a headache. Managing it is a lot more of a pain for a variety of reasons. I agree, the biggest is timing, you need to hit that window to promote before you have to sell off high value trainees. I also have learned the hard way that I probably should have gotten a trainer with career extension specialty as some of my homegrown talent aged. If I get relegated, I will sell off my one non-homegrown player for a decent profit, and focus on my trainees a little more. I will say you can get a decent return on, rounding out a player, and flipping them.

Being homegrown is what has kept me interested in this game. I promoted to this league on a bit of a fluke, and didn’t expect to stay, but have managed to squeak by season after season. While promoting to the next level as home grown seems pretty unlikely, I just enjoy having to game plan to find a route to avoid relegation. I haven’t been able to land a stud recruit that can get me over the hump, but have a team full of quality guys that definitely play above their salary level thanks to balanced skills and secondaries. No real road map to homegrown life, and I have made many errors along the way, but it has kept me coming back.

I believe it was the New York Dragons that got me interested in the concept when we were in the same league a while back, so kudos there!
