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.

So did you have your bench 5 set in the line up for the game as bench/reserves?
Because that will always happen if so.
If you don't want someone to play minutes, don't put them in the line up, seems to be the only way to get around it.

Yeah I've been able to TIE all 3 games this week. :) my enth is on the rise.

Yeah, was hoping to get minutes all round. Thought GCM was going to put more of a fight up and hence play my the starters for longer minutes.
