Hi,

I currently have $-17 279 and this is after I got rid of my level 4 trainer to try and cut costs. Is there anything else I should do?

Here is my economy page from this past week if you need further info. I don't mind people seeing this for now as I need help and I'm not going to be much of a threat to promote in my league this season.

I have probably included too much information but just trying to be precise so that I don't make the same mistake again

You need to post the actual details from your economy page not the link. That link just takes us to own own economy page.

Your attendance is very low. From what I can see you have sold out your lower tier, courtside and luxury boxes for a number of games in a row. I would suggest you to increase your prices for these categories so you can get more arena income

Maybe also cut down on scouting. The difference between 3 scout reports and 4 scout reports a week is a good 20k a week.

You made a superb decision selling the trainer...the only trainer worth having at that salary...maybe exceptional up, or superior maybe.

I'd look at your arena.
I'd also consider a cheaper doctor.
7000-12000 doctor/trainer.
Check to make sure your prices are good....it seems the other sizes like can go much higher...courtside to 125-150, and boxes to 1200...
As in you are selling your stadium out or close to it.
Right now your pricing is way too high for bleachers...
Luckily you can change that before 8/28. I'd suggest 13 or 12....
Those two things should cover your money issues.
+ play tie...you aren't going to make playoffs. Play tie and get your gameshape up so you stay in the division and win your relagation.
Keep your money going on scouting to draft some stars to train.
Consider selling a player...

What trainer do u have now? Trainer is the most important staff member so if your going to scrimp on staff i would have a lower doctor or PR guy instead.

My trainer is the minimum as I sold my level 4 to save money

trainer is probably the most important of the staff. I recommend you get a Lvl 4 trainer. Salary should only be around 13k a week or so. Since you are selling out your arena, why not lower your PR manager's level instead?

Your economy is not totally out of whack - your regular expenses are less than your regular revenue. If you leave things be you will be fine.
The solution to your problem is simple:
Stop buying players and then quickly selling them at a loss. You're bleeding yourself dry by making poor transfer list decisions.


Longer term you need to buy some more seats in your arena and fix your prices. Drop your bleacher prices, maybe not increase your other seats as much as you have planned.

do this:
scouting set to 20K
rehire a lv4 trainer salary @ 20K less or set training to stamina
fire the doctor and PR
sell Diogo Caiçara
sell Fernando Palermo
if u dont have enough player, get some $1000 TL and fire them afterward
put all your moeny on arena
if its my team i will even sell Árni Sigurðsson and save the money for next season

Thanks for that, so are you saying i should sell those three players you mentioned straight away or at the end of the season?
