I recently promoted into a league that honestly, I have no place being in. Although I had a stellar draft, coming from a mostly bot league and am trying to sell 2 of the 3 draftees for some capital. I have already managed to sell 1 for a decent sum. However, the market seems to high to me right now to buy anyone with the money I have made.

I think I need a whole new roster, or at the very least a season or two for my training to come around before I can be a legit contender in this league. However, I am hopeful with an addition of 2-3 players or so that I can compete in a relegation series.

So my question is broad and open, I am looking for any advice. Any insight from past experiences or just rambling will do. I am most curious as to when the market will be just right for me to scoop out a few 15k-25k players at a good price. And also, I am fearful to expand on my arena because I doubt I will be able to fill it with my future record, and I need to save every dime to improve my front court.

Thanks,
Mick

Few tips:

- Reduce your roster to 12-13 players, which you seem to be doing already. The demand is higher for rookies now so you may find some veterans (free agents specially) on the TL for low prices. You should be able to find decent 20k big men for around 500k, even though they may be close to 30

- Always search the TL when the FA's are out there, because after they have gone there is less to choose from and prices go up. The playoffs would have been the best time to scoop guys off the TL

- Managing your enthusiasm properly will be key. So find out the teams against which you'll be battling for survival, and build up enthusiasm for those matches. The games in which you are more than likely to lose are the ones to TIE and to give 48 min to trainees

Hope it helps. Good luck!

actually prices are now really low on TL<<lowest in history prolly...u can buy C for 600k to 1.5k wit salary around 30k to more than 200k<<3 seasons ago you had to pay 1kk for a C wit 10-20k salary....i mean few seasons ago every player wit colourfull skills was worth at least few 100k

5 min ago I bought a 20k/week C for 358k. Great deal he is 23. He has tremendous in ID and Rebounding, and his IS is Profalic.

Well, I can't say I envy you. You seem to have been placed in a pretty tough and competitive IV league. I can't speak from too much TL experience, but from what I remember, around the All Star Break seems to be a pretty quiet time in the transfer market. There might be some bargains to be had during that time. As you get closer to playoff time, though, prices skyrocket. As for prices being low right now, historically, I can't comment. I just bought a 27yo PG with 10/9 Passing and Handling for about $500k. I wouldn't call that cheap.
