Filling the needs of the new/low level teams. People should be dancing in the streets I think...


Well, one problem with those weak FAs is, that many of them are old as fudge and thus should stay retired - you can train a decent player that can be productive at low levels in 1-2 seasons, if you use 2-pos training (which I would advocate for Div III and lower teams) you get 6 "quality" players in a very short time.

Problem with the hoarding tax is, that the announcement was vague and people panicked. Business as usual one could say.

I don't know what my fire sale has to do with the topic, but maybe thats just another of your ad hominem ploys...

I was thinking about new users, that might be tempted to buy old players to catch up, only to find out they bought trash, that rots away really fast. 40yo guys should just not be in the game, thats it.

I'm saying there are lots of YOUNG FAs right now. You are saying they are all old which is untrue. Your fire sale just revealed the type of players you buy/use...so I was saying the FAs up now, there are plenty in the range of players you use/like.


I have used old washed up players for a very short time (3 weeks or so), as I had a sudden change of mind and wanted to "buy" promotion. The fact that I got rid of those players the minute I was out of the championship race is "evidence" enough, that I don't value those guys - nor should those players be availiable to newbies, as buying those guys always results in a loss and thus won't encourage anyone.

The FACT that you wanted to take part in the "feeding frenzy" or whatever you called it, says a lot about you and your obsession with me. My finances are more than solid after the "fire sale" and maybe I'll qualify for the hoarding tax next season.

Not all of them were old. I remember you sold a pretty young one with a decent TSP and efficiency too. Incorrect?

IMO the guys you sold were listed below value. YOur mistake was buying them in a situation where their salary perhaps wouldn't make sense to keep and you were forced to sell.


I took a risk and it did not pay off - I wasn't forced to sell all those guys, if I dumped the washed up C you bought I would still have made some profit and balled like a boss.

All in all I don't care about that situation, as it did not impact my teams finances at all. I'm recouping losses at a high pace right now, as my merch money went through the roof - we all know the fans in this game are extreme xenophobes, so...

The young guy was sold with a profit of a few thousand, no loss in that case. He wasn't one of the rental guys, but had to go as I opted to dump all foreigners (except for my utopian monster).
