Thanks for pointing out the bright sides. It will certainly be nice to have some freedom in training my players out of position. I'm slightly wary about investing too much in next year's draft since I'm not sure how my weekly income will drop compared to last season. I may have to cut some corners, and if I've already cut my team down as far as it can go, that may mean cutting back on my scouting investment. I picked up a great SF in the draft this year, so I feel good about focusing on training him into my franchise player.

Pleasing my fans will be a nice change, as last season they were disgruntled about everything (for good reason, I kept getting crushed) except the survey question that asked if they thought I was doing all I could to make the team better, in which case I received 4-5 balls each time.

I'm not aware of the season ticket bonus! I'll have to look into that. Cool.

Don't forget the promotion bonus as well :)

Another guy mentioned the lack of competition, when i started this game i was pretty much guaranteed relegation to div 4 and ended up in a bot league, i considered quitting because of that fact.

But i remember the advice i got on the forums about the chance for my fans to be happy, selling out games, making a longer cup runs, etc.

The important thing is to be stronger next time round.

I see your selling your SF, if only i had 2 million!

In lowest division you do not need higher salaries than the floor. You will win it easily anyway. Can still be worth keeping players that will be good enough in higher league and bring in some cheap old players for a small sum to cover up other spots. I would for sure do so. Selling all players that you do not train might not save you much money but is probably also a good idea.

For sure you have $10000 left to invest in the draft each week then and that it probably enough to spend.

Some advice? Trim your roster down to the bare minimum (floor salary) and make as much $$$$$$$ as you can. There's no need to blow BOT's away with a bloated roster and you can always buy players when you promote after the season.

You can train your players out of position, if you want to give your players secondaries or even start with SF-trainees this would be the best time.

Thanks for all the ideas everyone. I'm going to see about earning some dinero by selling my #1 draft pick, but if no one buys him I think it will be fun to watch him develop into my best player over the course of the next couple years. He is a SF so I'd be able to train him every week and alternate between training my guards and big men along with him as I focus on his various skills.

He would be a great cornerstone for your franchise for years to come. Good luck!

P.s.: cut down your roster to 11 players. You dont need more,

Make sure you bring in new trainable players if you sell your talent. There are no huge money in training but it is a waste to not train players efficiently in a league where you win all matches easily. But keep your salaries close to salary flow in your league is for sure a good idea. Might not even be worth having such high salaries. Just make sure to not let valuable players loose in value during a season in bot league.
