Ok, I beat my tough games, if I stay with high enth. I can Go and promote either bot cleanup or wining it all. So I got a question: How to survive in D4? I got 2 trainees that are to blow up in salary in about Season 22 so I need a plan to save cash in 1 season (S21) and enough to buy and build arena for a D3 (s22-when I want/need to promote) So I need a plan to beat the spike in my trainees. When my trainees spike, I need to promote.....so what should my plan be for D4?



PS I want to have a 10k arena by promotion, and I'll need 3k more for it.

D4 staff already. 36k with a competant Doc, advanced Trainer, and competant PR Guy. So staff is good. Now I need to save my cash and build arena. I keep on filling the bleachers, which is good, I'm gonna build (when I got 100k) 500 Bleachs for D4. Overdid it on Lower Tier Sadly. Got almost 100% on the Courtside (missed by 1 seat) and still fillin my 5 Lux Boxes.......

My next expansion:
500 Bleachers
0 Lower Tier
20 Courtside
1-2 Lux


Hope to maybe get to 7500 by D4





PS: GM/Mod, change the title to: "Planning for D4" I missed the f.

Ok, now that I got the plan, I think I'll do this:

do "minor" tanking next season, get to no worse than 5th. Of course If I get stuck in some competitive league (IV.10, IV.20, IV.9, IV.5, etc.) I'm screwed. Or If I end up in an uncompetitive D4 league, I have an advantage and get 5th easily, while bringing in 60-70k a week.

Plan A
I'll keep my roster (may fire a 2 or 3 players and then get a 15ker) TIE some games that I know I'll lose, and CT the games I need to win at the end of the season+ the TV games


Plan B
Sell off my whole team (except my trainees) and hang on them. Then use the 400something k to get 1 25ker, 1 15ker, and few scrimmage players in the mix


Plan C
This is emergency plan, end up in comepetitive D4 league, bang my head to myself, try my best to avoid relegation



Want more opinions on how I should set up for D4. (30640) my team ID

um, I racing to beat my trainees cap, before they're too much for me to handle in D4. I like the idea that Game187 said of doing secondaries for a while so I won't end up balloning the salaries. So faster I get to 10k+ seats faster I'm promoting 7015 right now. 3000 more. What should I focus on building? (obliviously I overdid it on the Lower Tier, bleachers keep on filling up. need to also get lux boxes in go.

I got James Coleman and Val Delong. Coleman's one of my originals and Delong is one of those steals from the TL.
Coleman is expected to be t 60k and Delong at 100k by end of training. (which is I hope in 2-1/2 more seasons: S23) This season it's at 10-16k salary, which I'm still able to handle. But if I do keep on doing primaries they'll blow up on me. But if I listen to the South Stag guy I can still sustain em. Can't afford to blow em up, these are my cornerstones I'm talking about...........


I got some bankrupt schedule. I got some strange wacko thing, with 2 straight weeks of no salary. Already had one, and gotta do it again on 7/10 and 7/14 ::sigh:: But got 2 straight home games........



EDIT

Man, wheres a GM to change the title.

It's "Planning For D4" please

ok, let me calculate.....what week is this, 7?


Coleman: Estimated at 14k with 64-70% training.

Delong: Estimated at hmm, 8k. With 48-53% training.

1 thing i will say is aim to have no player over 40k in a div4 roster, I say 2x40k, 2x20k, 4x15-20, 2x6-10k, 3xunder 5k is solid squad in div4, so be careful with your training (maybe a season of secondaries will keep u under the limit and still give u a chance to improve your squad)

PS: 10,000 seats is the best starting point for getting ready as well (also make sure your staff are under 40k if poss)

You're recommending a 220k+ salary right there! I think that might be a little high for D4. Heck, right now I have a 5-8 record in III with 207k salary, and I know there are people in playoff positions with smaller payrolls than me. I would recommend closer to 180-190k salary to be competitive in D4.
