Welp, I went bankrupt and all my players were sold leaving me with 2 lmao, what happens now? do I forfeit all my games and just wait till the next season draft to have a team? and I don't even feel like owning now since all my players were sold smh.

Hi,
You've got a few possibilities now (imo):
Assuming your weekly income is positive you can
1 Wait until the draft and then have five (trainable?) players
2 Clear your staff and get cheaper ones (if that was the issue)
3 Wait until next season and reprice your arena correctly
4 Start over in 6 weeks and promise yourself to never do what you did again
Bottom line
= Start again conservatively - BB is a marathon, not a sprint!

P.S. cheer up and have a happy New Year! BB is worth playing ;-)

Looking at what happened to your team I can now give a diagnosis. You seemed lost as a manager, didn't build arena correctly, didn't look like you managed gameshape and enthusiasm, and made ill advised decisions which led to your bankruptcy.

Seeing that you are now in the bottom of your league it looks like you got no shot in winning your relegation series. So I would personally just take the hit down to d5 and rebuild there. Learn the concept of gameshape and enthusiasm in d5, as well as build your arena for the entire season, so you don't end up like this again. Like tisk said, there is the draft to look forward to and right now it looks like your only hope at the moment of getting good trainees is from the draft (I assume you're still in red) so with that said. how many pts you got and have you found any good prospects?

And that's understating it. The takeaway I have is that over three million dollars was spent on the transfer list in all of those seasons, and a total of $16,000 was spent on building the arena.

The bright side is that by going with all minimum staff, with the TV money being more than the salary floor in IV and V, it should be easy to escape the negatives and start building up money.

http://prntscr.com/5nsxdv This is my economy.

I would just start over with a new team. It's going to be hard to wipe out that much debt.

In general the advice from before is good; to spend more on your arena, less on transfermarket and read up a bit about Game shape management and enthousiasm management. Also read up a bit on training and start playing scrimmages to have 3 games a week in which you can train multiple trainees and improve your team.

The thing that really finally killed you was buying Carlucci and Parn both for their transferprice and following salary. After that you had to pay interest on your debt and the way down continued.

So what to do now?

1) You could delete this team and start a new one after 6 weeks but I personally wouldn't want to wait 6 weeks.

2) Wait for the draft and get 3 more players from there. Then start training these players and slowly build up your team again. If you get above 0 you can buy a few more players but choose some cheap players with low salary. That way you can save up some money for your arena expansion. This all will take some time but it will be enjoyable to see your new draftpicks improve by training them well.

You could also hope to score a gem in the draft and sell him for a bundle. You might be able to get above water that way. If not, I would consider the six-week reset if I felt I learned from my mistakes.

sad to see. I think arena is best thing to do in the lower leagues. Pour your money into that,not at one time but over time. Build 1-2 players just train with them 1 position training. Just don't go to the market because it noe treally needed right now.

Give all your players 5-7 season of time to play.. Don't just work the market for skill and potents because the prices will bankrupt you. The market is outlandish in cost right now.. You will be buying more player than you can afford thus losing 50-100K every time.. Thats a lot of money that could be saved for the higher leagues of play or expanding your area... If work it right you can have at least 8 million in 3 league by the time your get there. if you save. and if you let the natural spending take it course.

Always have a back up plan to get out of a fix. Building arena is the best insurance policy on BB hands down ,not selling or buying youth and olds. That money may look good and feel goo. but trust me arena income is the best insurance policy. Also saving money its very important. Giving your player time to play on the team don't swap them out like toilet tissues. Let them make you some money.

Set your arena price to the talent you have,( bad talent= low prices) also look around you in the league and set the price to that or slightly lower than that. Don't worry about selling every seat out. I not nessary as long your profiting an player getting better is what counts. just turn all cost off this season and keep them all of them off them off the next as well.. Don't sign anything. Do arena from time to time in very low amounts and seats. and just train 1~2 player in 1vs1

8 millions in 3 seasons ? Where can I find that ?

@Big: take 3 plsyers if dont want to waste a training spot
