To be completely honest, I would prefer that players are more expensive. It makes the money you save worth saving for.. it would help get rid of rent-a-players too.

I'm sorry, but what is it you told everyone 'was going to happen?'

Anyways if you don't cut those 2 players before the Monday update, not only will we not be hearing from you iin season 30 but you won't even exist 30 days from now.

Doesn't he still have to pay the one week's salary?

There's a reason that you got these 2 high priced players so cheap, they're bad investments so nobody else wanted them.





thats BS!! high main skills beat all around players any time any day easily!!!

but most of the 11years old user thinks that a 10times profilic player is worth 3 million and a 150k+ green Monster is not worth 300k --> thats stupid in both ways but thats the way the market goes right now

no offense, my two cents

:-P

And you must know that because you lead that German NT to current prominence and there are teams full of mainskill monsters in world Cup finals!

The important question here though is what is a better player?


Obviously it is better skills. Just ask any national team if they would rather have a cheap player with wondrous skills or one with legendary? Obviously for clubs their weekly salaries are not worth what they bring to the club. No-one wants to go back to the bad old days where players with prominent skills cost $1 million but this is crazy.

One of my friends Naker Virus just sold his team off to avoid bankruptcy.

Miguel Bernardino bought $844k sold $45k.
Dimitri Batzu bought $733 sold $453.
Cheng Baoze bought $102 sold 102 hooray!
Damiano Fazzone bought $400 sold $100
Ingo Guará bought $300 sold $1
Zenon Miąsik bought $1,425 sold $346 (and he was actually good!)
Total losses nearly $3,000,000. A bad day for someone getting bankruptcy warnings.

He had the best record in his division II and may have won if not for injuries. For example look at just one guy:

Ingo Guará (9242042)
Center
Weekly salary: $ 113 726
Age: 29
Height: 6'9" / 206 cm
Potential: superstar

$1k for a $113k center with reasonable (not great) secondaries. Will anyone claim this isn't a problem?

The counter argument - let's say there are about 1000 teams for whom it makes sense to have a 100k+ center. Now, obviously, many of these teams may already have the player. So if you look at the TL and see 257 centers with salary over 100k currently available, is it any wonder the prices are going to be dirt cheap? If you build a million houses "worth" a million dollars for a city of a hundred thousand people, there's no way conceivable you'll sell most of them at even a tenth their "Value".

The problem is that it's far too easy and surprisingly still popular for some reason to generate players with outlandish salaries exceptionally quickly. Of course, national teams have different priorities and so there will always be people lining up to keep on replenishing the donkey supply.

You are correct the input is still going at the same pace but the output is broken because of free agents. Now obviously if this player was a free agent he would retire but the free agent pipeline keeps bringing back GREAT players that you can get for $1 million. Would you rather an average player for $1 and $100,000 a week or a GREAT player for $1,000,000? In only one season the costs are getting close and you had a much better player every week.
