Hi,

I'm searching for a C/PF with ID, IS, RB min. strong and all players I find star with the Minimum price around 1,5 mio.
And those are very few- most start with 2 mio or higher...

Isnt that a bit too much for a player who you might train only a few months or even weeks to get to this lvl?
I you get a good draft pick for those position - and if I take the last drafts as example- not few managers I talked to got at least one good player with more than one respectlable skill (not concerning the potential)
(I suspect most managers train inside positions.)

so those players cant be that seldom that they cost that much.

or am I completely wrong ? ;)

why are those guys so expensive?
I really cant explain why people pay that much for a player who get trained only a few months :)

Is 32 that much for 25000 active teams? :)

yeah sure, I only need to sell one player ;P but concerning the profit you make in a 2nd league with TV Games etc, it takes very very long to get 1.5 mio.
and then you have to spend all for a player who is only strong in 2 or 3 skill.

and strong isnt very hard to reach imo

you have 16 players which each week might not amass to much but you are wasting $300k a season on wages for the surplus players.... I would intensively train 3 players to give you 2 long term starters then sell your 3rd trainee and repeat the process.....

too many people are only inching up the skills of their players so when they get to sell they dont stand out and command the fee that gives you the ability to buy whoever you fancy.

take a look at the biggest transfers to date - 1 specialist guy selling for 5mil vs 2 normal trainees selling for 1.5mil each..... yes you would end up with 4 players on your team but again these will need to be replaced sooner than if you'd trained 3 and kept 2 (who i'd imagine would also be worth 5mil each)

i know its not a direct answer to your question but as kozlodoev says... training is key - you have to be making 4-6mil a season (depending on the quality of trainee you are able to buy in the first place) if your not..... then thats what you need to address first.

Anyway there are very lack of good players in the market...only piece of crap, and those which are good, prices are enormous...I think +1-2 seasons and the situation will be diferent, you cant plan in long term in such a young game....

I expect the prices go even more.........
Good that Free agents take some good money away from game....

now a days its really hard, money is making this game complicated hahaha

maybe as much as im winning i think i suck at making money for my team

Unfortunately Kozlodoev is correct. The ONLY way to compete in this game is to train and sell players, which I think really sucks. Those of us who tried a different path are way behind now, with very little chance to catch up. And, it is also readily apparent that having a well-rounded team is not better than having a few superstars.

Looking at the kozlodoevs team roster looks like his tackticks is not right..:P

But anyway I think kozlodoev if far better manager than other GMs, so I would definately vote for him as a GM because his opinions is very good.....other users are just talking and talking but kozlodoev will allways give an good explanation and he knows realy a lot of this game!!!

respect man!!!:)

Most users train Guards!!!

same problem with guards... I have been looking for weeks for a guard with a simple double strong in OD and JS, respectable JR and no atrocious in the main secondary skills and I can tell they are really rare... and the few available sell for over 1 million.

I think that at this moment in time the transfer market should have many more of these players.
