Well..mostly agree with this, Monkey!

I still think if you make money and train your players then you will start winning. If you go all out as a new player and buy a "win now" team with your initial money and not buy a decent trainer, not get at least 3 good trainees and not sink something into your arena then you will regret it a lot in the long run.

im actually with yoda on this one, winning comes as a side product of generating good income .

winning should still be the main goal and the reason why your trying to generate a high income.

Not necessarily. If your priority is training, you will be giving up winning games to train your trainees. I find that income is a by product of winning as opposed to the other way around. You could technically still make money but still lose games.

Maybe it is a difference of opinion but that was the approach I took when I started. Win first. Training was second priority. If i got the win then I was more than happy to forgo training minutes. At least by winning I was able to increase my attendance money and was making a lot of cash in the league games.

while i also agree with this, most teams that are new and need mentoring are in div 4 , thus they can train effectively as well as win games. this also sets them up to be contenders in div 3 rather then fodder for other div 3 teams.

div 3 training can get a little harder to manage and keep winning , but is still quite doable as long as you have taken previous steps while in div 4 to make it possible.
ie built a strong economical base for your franchise as well as trained correctly.

this is why i believe for new teams in order of importance should be

1 trainees (the way forward.)
2 arena / assets ( ability to sustain and grow )
3 winning / promotion ( the fruits of your labor)

1+2 are of course geared steps in to making 3 a reality .

I am a massive fan of training. I wish i started with it earlier than i did. I really only got into it seriously midway through my 1st full season - back when i started in Div 3 (season 6) if you regularly looked at your team you would win your Div 3 (much the same as 4 now according to a mate that just started)

It's my only belief that getting a good trainer, and one great trainee along with 2 others that are decent as early as possible and getting them as much single position training as possible would be the way to go.

Also manage your enthusiasm and game shape - their are still teams in the ABBL that don't do this well and i have no idea why - it will make a massive difference to the way your team plays.

Those ABBL teams are prolly trying to go for a long CUP run, or they are just inactive for a week or two hence the bad gameshape. Their minute management should settle down once their CUP run is over.

Both approaches mentioned by yodabig and monkeybiz are correct. It really depends on where your team stands in your league. If you think you can promote then concentrate a bit more into winning and promoting into the next division. If there is a team in your league that is likely to promote before you do, then concentrate a bit more into training and cutting costs and just be patient in saving money for next season once an opportunity arises for you to promote.

However in div4 you can do both, win and train at the time since there are mostly bots.

It's actually surprising how many people under estimate the value of gameshape, even at an ABBL level i think.

Stamina is undervalued far more in my opinion but that's a different matter altogether :P

Good morning to everyone,

I just received my team last night so you could say I am as new as they get

I seem to have about 16 players on my roster and from what I have read this is way too many. Was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of who to get rid of. Am going through the tutourial at the moment and have fired two players who were role players, seemed to be the lowest out of all my team.

Anyway great being here and looking forward to fun times ahead.

Thanks

Michael
