Not exactly stellar advice to give to a newcomer whitewind...

Avoid expensive NT players for quite a while if you want your franchise to reach the upper divisions. If you have to buy players, look for cheap players (in both wage and transfer price) that can nonetheless improve your team. Your money early on should instead go into the arena, as that is your main source of income. No need to go huge with the arena right away, but build it to a point where you're not completely selling out every game.

Yeah that is a bum steer from whitewind there ;) Although I have nearly bankrupted my team a couple of times buying past NT players - just for fun.

I like training players, so buy a few young ones and train them up. Look at the rosters of the other players in your league and buy players to make your team competitive. Arena building is good advice, and not spending too much on expensive staff - advanced staff probly a good start.

That was my take, hence the sarcasm. Apologies if my instincts were wrong.

Yeah, now that you mention it... how does he know about 'scrim war' when it's his first day? In fact the last person I remember using that term on here is...

CRAZY AUSTRALIAN!

@Render Here, please do not take offence if you are in fact, a newbie. A certain someone has made everyone paranoid. Also, about that Ukrainian guy, I think it's safe to say that you'll be outbid, though I'm not sure why you made the bid in the first place (says you bid at 9:13 PM which is after myself and Possum came in to say that whitewind was messing with you for some reason...)

That $250k salary is toxic. You won't be able to afford to pay that salary to go bankrupt in no time.

I'd suggest you look at the arena of the teams in your league and work out how much they are making in revenue then buy players who salary don't exceed your income.

This is a cash management game. Strategy plays a role too as well as knowing how to train your players. But managing money, players minutes per week, and gameshape is the utmost importance if you want to successful in this game.

Ohh and read the forums and get involved with the community to ensure your longevity in the game.

Welcome to the game. =P
