That is exactly what I was thinking. Thanks for the conformation!!

Your players are not very good, so I don't think your plan is going to work out to net you $1.5M. But everyone's advice is good - build your arena with your extra money, and spend money on the draft since in DV you'll get your first or second choice even if you win the league. Then you'll have someone worth training.

I made over $1.5M off my transfers. Just wanted you to know that

In the long run, your arena is where you will make your most money.

I just did an evaluation of my roster. I believe my roster could be sold off for 3.5 million in cash. I have spent 4.3 million on my arena. I have 0.3 in cash. All in all I am worth close to 8 million. With an unbeaten record in Div 4 while still in the cup and I started in season 20.

So if you want to be rich here are my suggestions:
Invest in your draft (20K per week). You want homegrown players to help build your team in the long-run. I'm not going to sell my 3 draftees until they are 33+ even though they are probably each worth 0.75 million right now.
Build your arena. If you are among the leaders in arena size in your Div you will have more money for a team and have cash left over.
Start getting US players. Once you get to Div IV you will start to see a measurable difference with merchandise. I currently make 15K per week more (35K) than the average in my league (20K).
Start readying a team to win Div 5 title. From the looks of it, you should be getting close to ready.

So to answer your question where to spend money?
1) Draft
2) Players to win title (USA suggested)
3) Arena

For instance I just bought a 32 year old center with a wage of 29K for 100,000. I see you just bought Stokfitz for twice that. To each his own...but it is easier to manage your players with decent salary balance. I'd consider him a 1 year rental to win the title, and then start getting USA players.

With Stokfitz grabbed, I would start looking for salary efficient players you would want to keep more than one season. This will get you a core that will enable you to be competitive in Div 4 while still earning money to build your arena.

I'm not going to sell my 3 draftees until they are 33+ even though they are probably each worth 0.75 million right now.

I assume from their training minutes and such that they probably have very well-rounded builds but that still seems like a lot, especially given that their potential isn't incredibly high which would lead to overbids. I've trained SFs extensively with other teams in the past and I'm doing so again now with my current team, so would you mind indulging my curiosity and messaging me their skills?

In my opinion, its not worth investing in the draft at all if you are at the top of your league, which you seem to be in D5 because so many people get to choose before you, and you probably wont get anything from the draft anyway. If you are tanking in a higher division, it is worth it.

I don't agree. In Div 5. I picked my best player in 3 drafts when I picked last.
Got 2- 7 Pot my first draft. (Picking 2 and 18)
Got 1- 6 Pot my second draft (Picking 11)
Got 1- 8 Pot my third draft (Picking 16)

So many bots in Div 5 it doesn't matter where you pick. You will get your top few selections.

Ya, I see your point, but I would rather save my money and buy someone on the market.

Hey turtle!

Yeah it might be on the high side, but I'm not even going to list them ever. One says 550,000 estimated (of 5). The other 2 don't have any comparisons. I'll send you the stats.

When I did my team value calculations I used around 600K each (or twice the value of my best 33 year old). However, if I were to list them, I'd sell for 750K each.

The last thing you should do in DV is 'buy an all-around stud muffin'. We see low division teams do this all the time and it rarely works. For example, you'd be much better off taking $100,000 in weekly salary and giving it to 5 guys at $20,000 salary each then one guy at $80,000 and 4 guys at $5,000. Balance is always more important than having 1 so-called stud.

My #1 piece of advice would for you to be patient. That $$$ isn't going anywhere so you don't have to spend it all today but if you truly think you have a chance to promote, I would first upgrade your arenas and then I would upgrade your team. If there's a monster in your league that you won't be able to beat on the road in the playoffs then wait for the off-season to upgrade your roster.
