Hi there! I played this game many years ago but just signed back up on a whim. It'll come back to me eventually I guess. Glad to see some activity in the league forum though.

Welcome! We are a fairly competitive league imo, but there's enough activity here to make it worthwhile! We have some really good managers and can help you get back into the swing of things if you need any help

Thanks! I'm quite happy to land in an active series, even if it means more losses in the beginning. I think most of the training stuff is slowly coming back to me as I get to grips with things. My plan is to get 5 18 year old guards and train them up, rotating training around after a few pops per skill. So I'm working on getting to 5 trainees for min bids. I realize they won't be world beaters but it should add value to the team and get things off the ground.

What I can't quite remember is what starting staff levels are advised. I bought a trainer who is advanced but now I'm wondering if that was a level too low? I'm not sure how the finances shake out at first but perhaps I was too conservative.

Also, I made a mistake in setting my manager name. I usually go by "Trepanated" but somehow wasn't paying attention or something and set it to Barts instead. Not a huge deal, but does anyone know if it's possible to get it changed?

Thanks all!

Ok, I think I have the name issue sorted, so never mind on that one!

The whole trainer thing upsets me lol, I had superior trainers for the first 4 seasons and actually worked out quite well, then to save $$ and build a “win now” team I fired the Superior, bought a solid supporting cast of players and downgraded to an Advanced trainer, while I had the advanced trainer, I only witnessed a handful of skill pops and was EXTREMELY disappointed. I fired him and I recently sold off a Cast player to purchase another star player to match with Ahmet and Terry and downgraded to the worst level
Of trainer there is lol, and oddly enough. Have seen more skill pops with this one than the advanced one

Haha, interesting info. Well, I'll run the advanced guy probably for the rest of this season and see how things go with pops. Coming in halfway through, I'm kinda treating this season as a good time to experiment, because the 18 year olds have missed all that training already. By the start of next season I should have a better feel for the economics of it and then maybe upgrade to a superior trainer. I'm just trying to be real conservative with money at the start.

Advanced trainer here, and I'm wishing I invested in Superior right out the gate but mostly because I'm struggling to consistently get my rotation players to pop. It's still not that bad, but getting skills to pop takes 3-4 weeks at least. It's really a bummer to wake up on Friday and see that nobody popped at all. I live for that kind of dopamine so I'm trying to upgrade currently and it's VERY competitive! 600k-ish to get a Superior trainer with a good salary.

Your overall strategy sounds pretty good, though! I'd focus on upgrading your arena this season and invest in an Advanced PR staff member and try to keep that weekly salary as high as possible. You'll be competitive in a season or two!

Oh, that's super helpful, thanks. I guess I couldn't have gotten a superior trainer anyway at those prices. Yeah arena upgrade seems like it's gonna be next on the list though.

I mean, it's one Banana, Michael. What could it cost, 10 dollars?
