This is surely one of many possible options out there. It just seems so dull, but a big sacrifice could give nice revenue. No need for offensive sentences.

You are missing the point. The point is that when you are having struggles with your team, for whatever reason, that you dont assume its a problem with the economics, but instead look for ways to improve what you are doing. I didnt say everyone was doing it, I said many, and you seem to be winning, so Im not sure what your gripe is. Conditions are not different for teams in the same league, thus changing something is going to change it for all. Perhaps some of these changes may be warranted, but its not going to change anything within a league. I havent seen genuinely good players have issues selling, so perhaps they need to train better. By genuinely good, I most nearly mean players that have efficient and affordable salaries.

every time somebody is complaining about specific aspects of the game, there are people like you (and many others) that give for granted that this person:
a) is whining, because his team is not successfull.
b) does not understant the game.
c) is whining AND does not understand the game.

Two examples on my side:
1) My suggestion here to stop the deflation is to eliminate free agents. It may be a stupid suggestion, but it surely does not give more money to my team. It would mainly help low division teams and in particular those training big men in the 10-50k salary range (neither of them is my case).
2)I have been claiming for lots of seasons that the draft was poorely designed.. and that was not because I failed in picking good draftees, but because I didn't have fun with it. I still don't know how the new system is going to work, but in the meantime I have increase the money invested on scouts (even though at the moment i would pick last).

the majority of the time the truth is a,b or c.

your 1st suggestion is a good one though , it ill increase the value of training and help fix a few problems.

So spread betting on when the BB's will pull the plug on free agents?

I'll say 3rd August.

I still cant work out how the game can attract and LOSE 3,000-3,500 managers a WEEK!

Does that really mean in a space of a season if we can keep everyone interested we could be close to 100,000 users.. that in itself changes the dynamics of the economy significantly.

About the rebuilding strategy that some Tai team seems to do effficiently I think that if some team would do it in spain he would lose the category but not only 1 but maybe 2 or 3 levels until the team is again competitive. He could go from 1 division to 4 division easily, and go up again has an economical cost.

circles - round - in - going

Somethings wrong if the game is losing 3,000 managers a week and we have a net minus of users (albeit marginal)

Slowing down the supply of free agents or stopping them entirely must be worth an effort or are the BB's happy with the monetary reward for training right now?

Free agent market could be the answer. Weather to cut down the number of them making to market (who will decide which ones will be cropped?) or stopping them entirely would be the best idea. We all still remember what happened to the prices before they were introduced again in order to lower the prices. I am sure BB's are on top of this matter and we really can't say that stopping free agents will not raise those prices to idiotic heights again.
Have some faith in BB's, after all they have created a great game.

Free Agents. They lower the transfer prices by adding a big percentage of availbale players on the market, AND every time a free agent is bought, al the millions disappear out of the game instead of being spread forth and forth to new clubs via transfers etc. 2 major game affections.

I am doing somewhat of a tank this season, although not quite as far as Brian is suggesting. My take on this is: keep just enough of a team to finish 6th or 7th then pick up a player or two to win the relegation series, if necessary. Invest in scouting and hope for a good draft pick. Rinse and repeat for a couple of seasons, at least until you have three solid players to train.

I am still raking in $300K per week before cup income with my reduced salaries. And even though I plunked 6.2 million on an 18 year old (don't ask), I still have a bit of a cash reserve. The jury is still out on whether I will be able to stay up, but I have a 3-3 record so far, so my fingers are crossed.

I may be wrong but I think at least one team on the other side of the table is doing this, too. And I guess this strategy works better in a small country, where there is less competition.
