Didn't see your post, but yes and he got him in the second round without scouting...

I was already fine before the draft.
Fine?

Your team went from 9-13 and -243 PD (and very likely demotion if an Utopia style system was implemented instead of the hybrid) to 15-5 and +318 PD

And guess what? You spent $6.24 million on 4 starters after making $5.86 million from the sale of the lucky #22 draft pick. Surely the 2 things have nothing to do with each other, why would they...

Spanish D3 is comparable to English D1
lol sure. D3 in Spain is comparable to D3 everywhere else where there are enough human managers and is not comparable to D2 or D1 elsewhere. You are a D3 manager. Not to worry I was there too 15 seasons ago and most of us have been there when the game wasn't dying and had 3x the number of managers as today. What do you want? An applause for promoting from a bot league (2 bots and 1 quasi bot) in a game slowly dying?? Smh

You have done bad scouting. I had already achieved permanence in div3 before that draft. I
nah you would have demoted back to D4 if Utopia rules were implemented as Marin initially wanted to as you would have played relegation without HCA against a better team. It even took you 3 games to stay up with HCA. You should go find the thread where they made Marin change his mind and thank everyone for saving you!

You should know that daytrading is impossible due to taxes. You are showing the poor level of understanding of the game in English D1.
Daytrading is not impossible, playing the Transfer List IS daytrading, which is what you did and even then you'd have a negative balance in the transfers without getting lucky in the draft.

Daytrading is still possible both as it once was (almost) and in the moderate way you are doing it (waiting for taxes to reduce). You want to see who used to do it every single season and now does it slightly less frequently in a slightly changed way? Darkonza (162788).

If you use your brain, you will see that daytrading as people were doing it (buy players very cheaply and resell them at 50x the price) is still possible because when you list 30 players, you will only be affected by the number of sales prior to the listing. You buy 30 players and you list them after 3 days and all will go with a 40% tax. After that you need to wait a season for these sales to be excluded from the calculation.

The real reason why daytrading, even this kind, is done less and less is that prices make it harder to make a profit nowadays. It's harder to find high potential players you can spend 1k-30k on. Also some hardcore daytraders quit.

You are stuck in English div1 which is a lower league. But that is a completely different issue.
Is this what you tell yourself? And you believe it? D1>>D3. It's obvious! You should add a honorific when addressing people who have been or are in D2 and D1. When you get there we can talk as equals :). And yes I'm stuck here because I can't go any higher...you? Smh

If everyone benefit, nobody benefits.
lolol sure. If nobody benefits there is no reason to oppose the proposals, wouldn't you agree? Then support the porposals, thank you. Smh

You can find in the market a lot of players that have been sold for less than their initial price, after several seasons of training. That is a real problem, specially for relatively new managers training their first group of trainees.
Dude you don't train, what makes you an expert about training? smh

However I'm gonna say this: inflation was created with the key aim of making training profitable. Now since you are the repository of understanding, my dear Jung Freud, it seems that according to you (who doesn't train) that is not the case. So make a post about how training is not profitable because of high prices, so we can all have a laugh either at Marin or at you. Cheerios

Sure except I didn't start when there were less than 200 users, genius...I thought I already explained, but evidently not.

Also as already explained to others in the past, you cannot make the equivalence to 10 in a 300 people country and 100 in a 3000 country. You may say that I wouldn't have climbed to #2 in England and low #100s globally (which I was and in a game with more managers) if I played Spain, but you wouldn't be able to provide any proof for that. It's your subjective opinion. In your case however, we all have proof you never even come close to #2 in Spain because you never even cracked #110 in Spain. Do you understand? It's basic, you should be able to...

If you fail understand this, there is not much I can help you with. And I have 5 promotions all obtained while training, 4 of which from non-bot leagues (in the first I had 3 bots like you), while you have....zero promotions from non-bot leagues and zero promotions while training!!! A huge round of applause for Evaristo who has yet to accomplish anything relevant, training-wise or winning-wise, and thinks he's hot stuff because he got $6 million falling in his lap and should explain how this game works to managers who have accomplished things both training-wise and winning-wise and have seen the rise and fall in numbers!!!

Congratulations. Wait, do you know a bit about psychology by being a doctor or a patient?

lolol, it hurts so much to be in a lesser league that you have to make stuff up mate? Just promote while training then we will take you seriously.

Also since you are failing to understand something so idiot-proof. Repeat:
you cannot make the equivalence to 10 in a 300 people country and 100 in a 3000 country.

I have played top Spanish managers (Mequtrefes, Darkonako) and several BBB winners in Utopia, actually. With this in mind I can tell you that the top managers in Serbia (385 users today) would have most likely won in D1 in Spain too. The same goes for Poland which has been known to have a much harder D1 than Spain despite having 2/3 of users. The equivalence you is just dumb!

Do you know what is a percentile?
Of course I know.

However, while you are making assumptions on statistical distributions, I'm giving you hard facts:
- do you agree you can't prove I wouldn't be in D1 and #10 in Spain right now if I played in Spain? All you can say is that statisically this may be unlikely, because if BB users are equally skilled across nations, it's more likely there are 90 users better than me than 0 (so there is also a chance I could be #1 in Spain while I only manage #10 over here)
- do you agree that on the other hand you have never gone beyond D3 and never got better than #118 or whatever you are in Spain?
Therefore your equivalence is based on probability: it's a possibility for me while it is a certainty for you. Agreed? Do you think the fact that I'm ranked 23 in Utopia while training single position for the last 10 seasons makes it more or less likely? What are you ranked in Utopia? Oh you never joined, too competitive, it should be easy for you to replicate your success in such a smaller nation, shouldn't it?

The only thing you can draw from statistics is that it is harder to get into D1 through 3 promotions than it is through 2. Nobody disputes that. However, it may not be likely, but is entirely possible that the top 10 managers in Serbia, Poland and England are better than the top 10 managers in Spain.

In fact I'd argue the lack of success from Spain at the NT level in the last 20 seasons is a clear indicator and actual evidence that the userbase on average is not as good as that of other smaller nations, which is where, I'm afraid, all your assumptions start to smell like garbage.


If I were you I'd stop arguing as if you can understand what the problems are for a veteran team in D1 or D2. You are neither a veteran nor you've ever been in a higher league. Also you cannot understand people in lower leagues who, unlike you, never won the lottery and got a 6 million random payout in their second season. You barely promoted from a bot league so far...a bot slayer.
