i think this week a lot of teams left? (i got no confirmation yet) just from the number of total active teams like 16833 at the moment, i think last week it been at least 21k or so?
reason is maybe lots of those hattrickmanagers did not stay for long...

that gives me a lot to think about the transfermarket, will there a release from free agents botification or whatever it was called next week for all those players (wages 5500+ a week) ??? or will this process controlled by the BB`s , or will this be done smoother somehow?

or am i totally wrong and it goes in a different way?

please give me some answers ;)

nah i dont think 5000 managers went bankrupt in one week... ^^

but if that many managers went off, what happens with the huge amount of players?

if lots have managers have left I cant imagine they have optimized there training well enough to have got $6k plus players on their rosters.. i may be wrong but i had to invest heavily in young guys and train and i have a NT player who is still under 5.5k and 2 promised NT players only 1 of which is above 6k....

if the threshold is 4.5k fair enough the market will be flooded... if 6k i dont think massive difference..

the one question i would ask is would BB then consider consolidating some of the smaller countries leagues?

In japan we are up to 14 teams all in Div 1..... not that im complaining but the need for internal competition and the need to develop NT is important... US / Italy / Holland have 4-5 Divisions which is a very healthy structure... the divide in quality in the NT will be enormous if this continues....

so what is the current threshold?
4k or 5.5k or 6k? if its under 6k i would say 5000 players will crash the market.
coz when i startet i had 2 or 3 players with 5.5k wage a week.

and still nobody confirmed that there was 5000 managers/teams that quit last week???

i better dust down the old cheque book then!!

trouble is although i can afford im going to struggle to improve on my top 3 trainees and i expect player prices to drop.. so i actually dont think its wise to keep buying....

i might have a dabble!! but want to concentrate more now on performance and stadium...

where is the bank! dammit i need credit!!!

if you dont buy others will do and the easily can improve their teams with it.

and the other thing you said, i also think smaller countries get a big loss for the national team of course there is not enough bots from their countries, but thats just normal coz bigger the country more managers more players to train and so on....

The number of teams that are becoming bots is slowing down. The peak was over 25,000, and up to 3000 teams were dropped. This is now down to around 1500. BB is also getting around 500 new signups each week.

The threshold is around $6000. There may be a small age factor as well, so it might be over $6000 for 30+ players, and perhaps just under $6000 for 18+19 YO.

The salary update may have pushed more players on the market this week. It is pretty unusual for a raw talent to have a salary over $6000. But 1/2 a season of steady training may get you there. A lot of the teams leaving may never have set up a training program so they tend not to have any players being released.

Unless you only allowed equal numbers in each country to sign up (which will never happen), there will always be a divide in the NT competitions.

Of course, this happens in real life also (and let me qualify this by saying that yes, I'm the USA NT manager and I have nothing to complain about personally).

as i said its 16895 manager at the moment last week it was if im not totaly wrong over 21500 so thats a lot more than usual, so there is a lot more free agents as usual.
