I started out just like you in IV. I bought some medicore trainees, and started training. I went into the red for a while, but now am in first place in II.2 after 2 seasons. (Having started in Season 2). My trainees are all approaching prominent and I am satisfied. I recomend buying trainees after the draft because there will be a huge surplus. My wages are 53k. I average 100k spectator income and only get 11k merchandising. There is so much parity, if you play your cards right, will can be in II, like me. (although I was incredibly lucky).

Pallu: Yes, I can imagine how little you get paid down there, but if your players around 8k salary, it sounds like it might be the year you promote!

When you say trainees, do you mean rookie players? I've been on for two days now and I nam as green as one can get. Right now I'm just trying to improve my roster by adding (bidding with my fingers crossed) a few quality players with the paltry 300k I was given. Maybe it's the noob jitters, but it seems I have a team full of scrubs.

trainees are essentially players of the ages between 18-21 (at least I think so). 18 and 19 year olds are the best ones to have since you can train them quickly and sell them for a good bit of money.

I would say just try to buy good 18 yr olds that have pretty well balanced skills. There's not much point in trying to improve your roster as having a well-trained trainee will actually help your chances of winning much more than adding some of the vets you can find on the market now (who are expensive and not that good).

I would try to get an 18 yr old with about 3.5 k salary with good skill levels in the skills that you want for that position. That should cost less than 50k each (I think).

Thanks for the help. Those are solid points I'm glad i know now and not three weeks from now. One last Q though...concerning the arena and economy. It seems like the majority of your net income will come from selling young players, if so, and since the players I have now couldn't sell themselves to Sauron. Should i try to maximize profits from attendance and cut corners where ever I can in player salaries until I can get some young talent? Thanks again.
