I agree.
My lvl 5 coach has salary 31k and option to replace him is very expensive :-(

I'm curious to know if the league averages on the economy page are regular averages or if the median is used?

Looks like the arithmetic mean. My league has a scouting average of $ 16 250 (which I find surprisingly high, btw).

That's the problem with the arithmetic mean. It is very susceptible to outliers. So if, for example, two teams in your league are spending $40,000 on scouting, it could skew the average.

If you're worried about this, then you want to look at the median value.


I want to but at present I can't. ;-)

Taking an example - let's say 6 teams in your league are spending the max on scouting - $40,000. Even if the rest are spending 0, the mean shows an average of $15,000.

So do you still find $16,250 to be a high value? In most cases, it would probably make sense for the 6 worst teams to be spending the max on scouting.

For some reason I thought $ 30 000 was the max. :-) Okay, so it's 0/5/10/20/40.

The mean is somewhat high for my conference even with the real max value (and not the 30 000 I thought it was), but I haven't considered the expectations of the 3 new teams in Great 8 enough to judge their spending. It probably makes sense to spend more for 2-3 teams in that conference.

I expect my conference to have a 5-5-5-10-10-20-20-40 type of distribution, which is not dominated by outliers and where the mean is almost the same as the median value. Great 8 is trickier, it's probably more like 5-5-10-10-20-20-40-40. This is the top league, so there may be more big spenders than I expect.

There's a vast difference between "the GE may have a flaw or two that is being addressed" and "GE sucks".

The latter is simply false.
