I wish I had one of these plans, its so stressful and costly promoting to the ABBL only to be demoted straight away.
Going to need to sell a few players next season when I go back to div2 cos of the income hit.


That's because i will always have one advantage that you don't have. (Your my guinea pig)

We have always been in the same league and you were always ahead of me. you even beat me in div 3 to get into div 2, I have done a lot of changes to my team because of you.

By keeping an eye on you and seeing what works and what doesn't has been a big help. And i don't want to be in the same position you might be in. I hope you stay in the ABBL but it looks like it's going to be a long struggle if you do.

That's because your asking for to much. Mert Keklik is not worth 1.2mil at 29 tears old.



I had him at 1M, no sale.

Had him at 750k, no sale.

So now I have put him up again, but overpriced just for the hell of it. I've sold a couple others with slightly lower skills at the same age for 750k, and for some reason can't sell Keklik.

try listing him as $1 like me and you'll get a sale.

How long ago did you sell those players and get good money?

The transfer market has crashed in the last season or so and player's are only worth around 1/2 of what they were. Don't worry about it we all bought players a few seasons ago at top $$$. I and i know of about 5 others that lost over 1 mil on 1 player.

1 of them (same age) was a week ago, and the other (three years younger) a couple of days ago.

Óscar Mansilla Sold StrongMochas Aces 27/03/2011 $ 765 000
Nikos Kampas Sold skku-star 22/03/2011 $ 765 000

Kampas only better in rebounding by 2 levels over Mansilla and 1 over Keklik

Very strange how things work in BB

i know someone that lost 2 million on one player

i think while what maggot is doing will be really painful in the short and even medium turn it will be for the long term good

while others of us do a high school drop outs and rot in this league for 10+ seasons he will crash and burn but like a phoenix will rise from the ashes much stronger for it

maggot isnt a stoopid manager im sure if he paid $1.2 mill for a trainee that guy had gotten some training

even better if what he hinted is true that they are guards but got big man training this season - and that could explain the bad dmi

iwen is the model for training your way to victory and while my guys are way worse than his, my trainees xie, rad and barlas are my teams core and heart and without them we would still be in d3

You know, if I was paranoid I would think all this talk about bad management of the team and losing money included me ;-)

I am planning longer term that this season, and have plans at the end of the season regarding my players.

Having experienced first hand what Koop si expereincing this season, and Phoenix expereinced whan you look at his team history, I know the risks, the dangers and the rewards. I think I have made a few calculated risks re team this season, they may pay off, but I may have got my sums wrong :-(

Anyway it is interesting to see how teams are going about it, picking up a few things from them and moving forward.

The one thing I have learnt is the $$$$$$ is king in this game. You need a good healthy bank balance to survive, and trust me, going from Div II to ABBL is a HUGE jump.

I will be watching too see how teams go in the next few seasons, and see what I tan steal from others tactics.

Don't forget that some skills put more onto DMI than others.

The onter thing I know for sure in the ABBL, is that defence is king, without defence, you will crash and burn.

Planning for the future? Look at the age of your players...
Calculated risks that might pay off? Look at your last 5 games...
DMI changes differently with different skills? Do you even know what DMI is relative to?

Maybe that's why Holtz has been chasing the cup and saving every penny this season? He might shop for play off. Promoting this season will give Holtz the financial boost he needs to rejuvenate his roster.

I don't get this one, what's wrong with his last 5 games?

What is DMI relative to? I don't think anyone know the exactly what it is but alot has mentioned it's useless. To me, DMI is just a product number of all skills + gameshape but I do notice that DMI increases more when training primary skills than secondary skills.
