I've decided to base my decision off of the next two games I play. I want to look at my income, since my TV Salary is higher than I expected (91k) and I don't know what my Arena will be. If I can beat the Lincoln Gorillas and not get completely destroyed by the SoCal Phsyconauts then I'll keep on fighting for a 5 seed. If my income is too low and my team is not competing well at all I'll sell all my players, and hunker down for the long run.

My staff is already 35k with a level 4 trainer and a level 2 doctor with Taping Injuries and a level 2 PR with National Appeal...

As for my training, I'm doing two position training PG/SG to get my four trainees minutes plus trying to get one of my older players a single pop in a skill he really needs it in... Single position has always killed me in the past as the player gets subbed at the end of the game, and my training gets screwed up. Also I don't like playing a player for the entire game.

Thanks for all the input this has helped me a LOT

If possible, not tank.

You could spend 25k/week in your staff, ~ 12k trainer (lvl4), 8k doctor(lvl3) and 5k pr (lvl 2). I don't know and no talk about your roster, that's your but if not tank, you will have the next finances:

Salaries ~ 200k (don't know, this is yours)
Staff ~ 25k
Scouting 10k

Total: around 240k because of the staff

Arena (150k at least, if improve arena better)
Merchandise (next to 35k)
TV (91k)

Total: around 270.

Here you are saving around 30k/week, without tanking.

You can have that cheap staff with those 50k you have right now, all staff with speciality. If I made it, you can. I bought my 4lvl trainer with Career Extension 12k salary by 12k exactly (yeh, the same), my lvl2 pr with Crowd Involvement 2k and my lvl 3 doctor with Massage 8k salary by 10k. The worst is pay to take off the older staff but with the money you have now, is possible.

III is not harder to stay, if you want you'll not be relegated. The harder is get promoted. You have to work with your team and be patient.



Edit: if tank, your minimum roster salary must be equal to your TV contract, anyway you'll pay that at least.

wow 91k merchandise is a lot...that makes up for the amount of seats you have. I sent you a bb mail which im sure you read. All these guys do have valid points with not demoting. If you get halfway through the season and you know you are going to be near last than you can sell off and tank to get money. But if you are in contention to make playoffs or get 5th then you should be fine to stay in D.III. So just wait a little while before making your final decision as we only just had our first game.

Yeah I read your mail, and I have 91k TV not 91k merchandise although that would be really cool haha... I'll see where I'm at in a week or so and make my decision from there, I'll be training OD all season so I won't need to buy any players in that area, my starters are closing in on all Sensational, and should have one or two wondrous or marvelous later in the season

I'm goin go be in the bottom half of my league as it is... if I drop my salaries much more I'll be completely out of the running for staying in the league. I'll try to build as much as is possible while still making myself a competitive team fighting for a 5-6 seed.

Maybe not in the lower leagues, but i'ld say it is very much worthwhile tanking it ...
