Yeah I see, I have no idea whats expected in DIV II but I'd assume it's massive jump up from DIV III. This is why I've spent the last few seasons building my balance, stadium and squad so by about this season I was ready to make a charge and be healthy if and when I do promote. I think my stadium is up to scratch, will be hoping for about 3M in the bank and have a squad approaching it's peak with a little more room for improvement being most bar 2 players will still improve with time. Only Flotats and Chardon won't improve much but i don't plan on keeping either if I make DIV II and hope to get a powerhouse C next season and maybe a decent SF though Clarys might just be starting SF depending on the league situation. I know he'd likely get massively outclassed but he's an ideal skillset for my general game plan and actually performs very well for his wage.

Looking at your roster right now.
Only going off their salaries, I would suggest that your PG is good enough to stick around in Div 2, he wont dominate by any means but should keep things going enough.
Elspeth - keep training him and assuming he will have Prod OD and maybe Marv/Wond JS/JR next season he will do well in div 2, again, he wont dominate but he'll be a keeper.Flotats could possibly keep his spot for 1 more season.
Your big men definitely need to be upgraded to $60k + to stop the inside domination you will face in Div2. You will notice that most good Div 2's will have an amazing PG and then BIG PF/C spots. (i'm generalising) this all might change next season when shot blocking comes into play and LI will essentially be less effective.

Right now with the team you have I would expect you to fight to survive relegation in any of the Div 2's.
I know we're competition for each other right now, but if you want my advice on anything, I'm more than happy to help where I can, or direct you to someone who can.

Cheers mate, any advice will be greatly appreciated as I'm far from experienced in top flight divisions. If I do promote I'll be looking at getting a defensive powerhouse C next season. ID/Reb and BK will need to be impressive(like 15-16+) so I'd be expecting a wage of around 70-110k, though I might go a 60-80k C and maybe splurge on a SF with around 50k wages. We'll see, things and plans can change dramatically at times so I'll take it as it comes. In all seriousnss though I'll be hoping to have the otential to field a 400-450k roster without losing money. I guess it will depend on results and if I can keep the fans happy.

I'd suggest before you promote to Div II that you upgrade your arena CONSIDERABLY... 15k + seats.
Max out the court side at 500
and start increasing LT and Bleachers too!

Mono-skilled players don't do so well in DivII either mate.
You're better off having a 80k C that has some outside balance (averages and whatnot) than a 100k C with nothing outside.
you have a thing for balance.
Worry about that when you're getting there.
I'd focus on your arena first and foremost.

I do like my bigs to have decent handling(hate turnovers), I loathe signing players with outstanding weakness and have a habit of grabbing more balanced players. Check with the arena at mid season and make a large improvement to capacity then but I'm still far from maxing our the arena at this stage but after doing some research I have to wholeheartedly agree, will need to be much larger to support those wages lol. Just watching this weeks game and my PF has been injured, just praying its not to serious lol.....

Sheesh would be nice to hear from some others in the forums, not that I mind reading and chatting with yourself Ranga but I'm sure you agree. More involvement and input would be nice from a couple of others. Sure DIV II(If I even get there) has alot more sociable people lol!

Good to see that your PF is fine for the next games mate!
I'd hate to see an injury so early in the season, or at any time really. :)

My damn trainee, Aslam fouled out so that kinda spoils my training this week :(


Yeah it would be great if a few more managers would say hello. More the merrier and all that :)

Was going to be really gutted if he got a 3 weeker, still Droux would of carried the ship but still, 3 weeks missing training would of hurt. Training went well this week, managed 3 passing pops and 1 driving pop which makes a change. Did the big guy manage a pop? Hope so, out of position training is a real pain in the proverbial backside lol.

I'm a bit divided over what to do in the cup fixture this week. I know Vios intends to do well in the cup since he's tanking, he's at home and has 2 really big fella's. Not sure if I can even though I outclass his other positions but if he CT's I doubt I'll be able to win, decisions, decisions....

Ahh good stuff on your pops.
I'm jealous.
I didn't get the pops I was expecting so we're going around again this week.
It's not too much of a pain, this whole season is hard for training with Aslam essentially needing 48min at C every week. it's tough and really sets my team at a disadvantage for current games.

Damn my game against GCM didn't really pan out like I wanted. Was hoping they'd play a more a competitive match and I should of used TIE. Had my bench start(strict coach orders) but when they started pulverizing the opposition the coach thought to play the bench for the second half -.-(my starting 5 more or less). Really screwed up my minutes and plans as I was hoping to have a crack Vios in the cup but to do so will really hurt my GS next week. Just going to throw it and TIE now, should focus on the league and not get distracted all for what might be nothing or a mere 50k lol.
