I'm tryng to sell a bunch of quite good players (5000-7000$ salary) and have found that the prices are more than a half less than two weeks ago.

¿is it normal? I mean, with the draft so recent there are too much offer of good players, and the market will recover or are we facing a deflaction problem due to excess of good players and shortness of cash? since in low divisions (where most teams are) it's really hard to earn money...

This is natural and expected. A few weeks ago, the best players were maybe triple strong. Now those players are triple proficients, so the triple strongs are worth less. (These skills aren't exact, just an example). As the skill ceiling raises higher, all the other players are worth less, and this is a good thing, since it means that the lower division teams will not have the same skilled players as the higher divisions, which will create competitiveness to rise to the top.

Also remember that two weeks or so ago everyone was spending money like a drunken sailor in the face of the trading deadline.

Right, and if you were smart, you stayed away from that spending spree.

I think we're all going to regret every non-trainee purchase we make over the next couple seasons cause 900k proficient today will be a 900k prolific tomorrow, etc..

Especially us dopes in the top levels who are in arms races with each other.

All the cost of doing business, my friend.

If I ever have a pang of regret over overspending, I can look at my Overview page and feel better.

I think everybody is dumping players because they received draft picks too...

just normal, no income in the long season break and 60k+ draftees, not so many new teams and the salary update ...
prices will rise again i hope, tv-matches will help...

also there is many threads (some say peopz are whining, but that aint right) where lower division teams complain about there critical financial situation and for my personal opinion they right, if you check the income (arena) from the upper division teams and lower division teams the gap is big, but on the other site everyone wants a level 9/10 trainer and the salaries nearly the same, coz everyone startet training there players from nearly the same startingwages...
but in the end only time will tell how the in-game-economy will develop.
if there will be many new managers deflation will quick turn into inflation again.
