The only thing I found unfair is the difference between small and big countries.
For this reason I always hope that a filipine team will buy one of my 1k investment for 100k. As Robin Hood...

That's something i see every week. Managers buy a rookie for 1-5k, they train it 1-2 weeks(or they don't train it) and after they sell it for 100-200k.

You can do it with 2-3 rookies x week and if you do it over and over again during all the season it's easy to take an advantatge over your opponents from this kind of day-trading.

This day-trading it's just about ''lying'' the new managers who don't know the players price(most of the times i see the buyers are new managers) and end wasting their money in players that aren't worth more than 10-20k


This day-trading hurts the game, i don't know why GM's doesn't suggest to BB's to stop this day-trading(since they see this everyday).

If a player is sold for more than what he's worth, just report the purchase and it'll be investigated. If it's really definitely overpriced, the GMs will act.

The problem is a price range where the player isn't "definitely overpriced", but also no manager who is a bit experienced wouldn't pay this sum.

Here's an example from our league - I saw it today in the news:

(19379856)

I don't know his skills, but 195k DMI at Proficient GS indicates this player's virtual salary probably doesn't exceed 17-18k.

Sure, if it's still kind of reasonable, we won't do anything usually. But that's all that can be done imho. In such an environment there are always newbies who tend too pay too much.

I agree with LA-Koperboy, the price range is so wide, i'm not talking/referring to non-legal transfers.

It's a common day-trading move i see, but from my pov it's not good for the new managers that they end paying a lot of money for rookies that aren't worth.

The gm's as a managers of their team they also do this day-trading moves(or at least i saw some doing it) or you agree that if 1 manager buy 1 rookie for 10k and sells it for 150k it's good for the game?(i'm not referring to non-legal moves ¡ )

PS: This is just an example that the transfer list we have is really on bad shape, offer&demand is far from reach an equilibrium atm and on next season it will be worst with all the 31-32 year old players that have high potential for really less price than their worth

It actually works this way so that taxes is of little significance: at the start of the season everyone is dumping their rookies on the market so that many of them are sold very cheaply. They are so cheap that if you pay enough attention, you can easily pick up a few 18 yo with 7 potential or 19 yo with 8+ potential at a 1-20k with decent stats. As the season progress the supply of 18-19 trainees dries up. Then those who stocked up these youngsters (many of them got 10 or even more) could start selling them for 100k+ (some even close to 300k), and mostly purchased by new managers who know too little about players prices and are looking to buy someone to train.

To sum up, the purchase price is dirt cheap. There is little upkeep in wages. Taxes doesn't matter because the profit margin (from a few k to 100k+) is too big. Nearly guaranteed profit with little input and skill. There is really very little downside for doing this. Sadly this has already become a well known strategy by many players around me and in China. But I refuse to do this. Now the question: does it sound alright to you?

are you so clever to think you are better player than him??

Yes, I think I am. As is a lot of other managers who have been playing BB for far shorter period than him. Despite playing BB for 14 seasons, he is still in D.V with one short trip to D.III in his whole BB career. This said, I don't want to say he's less capable than others; he probably just isn't involved in BB as we are.

if he had near 2M for wasting them, its sure that he has experience in game

I don't think amount of money tells you how experienced someone is in this game.

me of course not, each one pays attention to some abilities and young people with high potential are valued (i dont know why)

You don't know why young players with high potential are valued? Because they can become better players than those with lower potential?
