Here are some ideas for first steps in Buzzerbeater - I write this to help the new Byelarus teams develop - remember I hope that you vote for me as U21 coach :-).
1. Fire all players that have salary < 2000 - they are worthless and only cost you money.
2. Try to sell other weak players for cash. Calculate the sum of all the skills of each player, and sell those with the lowest sum (maybe use excel or similar programs for this). You should have only 12-14 players to save salary costs.
3. Hire a good trainer (level 7 or better), a level 3-5 doctor, and a PR manager (decide yourself the level, people disagree).
4. Good players for PG-SG-SF need good passing, jump shot, jump range. PG and SG also need handling and driving. Rebound and shot block are nice to have.
5. Good players for C-PF need good rebounding and inside defense, also inside shooting. Shot blocking, passing and jump shot are nice to have.
6. Decide whether you want to train C-PF or the other positions; if you have only 1 or 2 very good young players, train only one position, if you have several mediocre but trainable young players, train several positions.
7. When you start to understand the economy, buy a trainee - the next two weeks, prices will be low because of the season break.
I believe it's no good to train only one positions.yes the players grow up very quickly but they can have only two players to train!
So it's better for me to train 2 positions and in the market now there are a lot of players at low cost and young!
Fot the other point I'm in agreement with you!
We could be a team of coaches for Byelarus!;)
