yes, you have a point that for the whole sequence the "divine trick" (used in HT as the highest possible skill level was "divine") is more expensive (1 salary more to be exact) if you have to pay 1 salary in advance...

still anybody can buy those mutant players to save their asses from relegation or win a trophy, for those guys a couple more bucks to pay won't matter, they are aware of the financial downside of the operation... and you'll see trophies (especially national cups) won only by muted teams... this is not the solution, only making the "divine trick" a bit more expensive

only making the "divine trick" a bit more expensive

If You buy fantastic multiskill with huge price and reasonable salary it's more expensive too... So I don't see difference. Why one method is good and other is bad?
In both ways You must "break the piggy bank".
I repeat, in this game must be "soft border" and mutants are the best to do it.
If You have "normal" club You should have more cash so You have many methods to win with mutated club.

there is no way to win against a muted club in one single game other than to buy your own mutants... in a longer run of course there are better ways to spend your money...

you're acting like you never seen what happened in B3

If Your club is better managed in regular season You'll hold all aces in hand:
- better players
- more cash
- home advantage.
So You can buy less mutated mutants and it should be enough to win ;-)
And You have more cash to win bidding for player on TL.

better players.... no... your regular league leaders will be much weaker than mutants bought just to win against you

more cash... maybe... but that doesn't matter vs someone who doesn't care that much about spending what he has just to win that one/two games

home advantage... how does that matter in this thread? first of all there is no such thing as home advantage in last rounds of national cup, second it will not be enough to stop a muted team

again, did you ever see what happened in B3 and how it was handled by BBs?

You're wrong, mutants aren't problem.
Problem in B3 is currently solved (because all players must be in club before B3 play-offs starts).
In league problem is solved too (players must be in club before weekly update, so if You want to win play-offs You must pay at least 2 salaries). Strengthening before play-offs is typical situation, I don't see reason why You can buy multiskill before play-off and You can't buy mutant? It's strategy and You have choice. If You want to stop buying mutants to win, then buying multiskill to win should be stopped too ;-) Strengthening is strengthening.
Only needed thing is first salary after transfer, and maybe blocking transfer before few last runds in national cups (the same as in league and B3 play-offs).

so in fact you're saying "the problem is solved but there is a problem and it needs to be solved"

ok, let's have a look at 2 situations.
1. The team buys a player to win the relegation, cup or other.
2. The team buys a player before weak 5 when the team plays with the main rival for 5th place in order to avoid relegation and guarantee the 5th place in advance.

What will happen? in the 1st case we see lots of trashtalks on the forum, discussing if it is fair, that it should be changed and so on.

In the 2nd you could find some single messages on the league forum. And that's all. Though, in case2 the team gets more profit during offseason and doesn't relegate.

The idea is similar - buying a monster. Why is everyone talking only about the first situation?

probably because we're now in pre-playoffs period...

I agree with you that those are very similar situations and I want to tackle both if possible. There are plenty of possible solutions:
1. player can't play for you one or couple weeks after the purchase
2. setting the transfer deadline few weeks before playoffs
3. drastically cutting down money from transfer fee in first few weeks after purchase (now 20%, can be even 80%)
... and so on
All those solutions have their faults, it has to be handled by BBs as they know better how it will impact the economy overall and what's their strategy about BB players development.
