being on the NT does not boost the merchandise... getting minutes boost's merchandise.

starters get more merch than non starters.
more salary means more merch.. e.g Radford (NT C) with 360k will give a lot more merch then say Wazza (NT Sf) with only 80k salary.

That's awesome, thank you.

Barry O'Daire, who I've trained since 18 and has been on the U21 NT/NT for Ireland since he was 19, gives almost no boost to my merch - it's around 35K.

It'd be hard to tell without having all the variables being able to be measured.

hmmm my salaries are way high! though my merch is mediocre at best @ $62K...
looks like I'm going to go bankrupt, no home games this week and spending $600k on Arena upgrade wasn't smart
jw

He does get minutes, although he's an irregular starter - it's a rare game he doesn't play at all, though, but it still hasn't touched my merch figures. I'm guessing it's because he's low-salaried, from a lowly-ranked NT.

just for interest here is where every1 is @

observations

hilarious 2 see ypb paying more salaries than jw or me is it really the move he needs to beat meateros in relegation

marmots dont have much more than vis but both have millions saved, who will blink first or will it end up in an arms race like in the abbl right now?

adam says he isnt going 4 promotion but his salaries reveal the truth 2nd top in the league no wonder he pwned me when i am way down on 8th

hax, cowboys & vis will = bad tv contracts 4 us next season but it wont affect them

pwnage, learvins & cccp did will with cheapass rosters

players, wab & wcs managed 2 survive despite some early bumps

i still think there r 4 teams that can win it all

can you buy a smeltz/sidwell/tos killer pf for under $2 million?

can you buy a smeltz/sidwell/tos killer pf for under $2 million?

nope hahahaha
apparently u can buy smeltz for like 750k nowadays! sheesh wat a fall from grace from the legnedary fatcat

750k lol it sucks

all these seasons pumping up our stars & now we could just buy them 4 peanuts

Transfer Price Estimate: There have been 37 recent transfers of 27-28 year old shooting guards with holy shit jump shot and any potential. Of these, the ones with skills most similar to Xie Guanzheng have been selling for around $ 900 000 to $ 1 500 000.

the thing i take comfort in is that xie has probably better secondary skills that any of those 37 other suckers & has all his guard skills well developed and balanced

& it is probably the same 4 smeltz ur hand crafted beast

Xie is balanced huh... may I ask how many skill points Xie has in total excluding stamina and free throws.

so your merchandise went from 35k to 105k in two weeks.
thats a 70k jump for acquiring NT star Radford.

but if you calculate the maths... Radford is 360k in salary.. so in essence you are paying 290k per week for Radford.

just an indication to let people know (if interested) what a player as such can bring to a team. Must add though, I am 140k down on league ave in profit. So after 10 weeks, that's $1.4M. Definately not worth putting your own team behind the rest of the league unless its short term, and you will be better off in the long run. Not the case for me. Could just as easily buy 2, 100k players, and make not only more than league ave, but a profit. Plus it would give me better balance. So why did I buy him? Lets not go into too many details, but lets just say it wasn't planned.

yeah buying radford was a bad idea...
it was because of radford that phoenix 5 went downhill.

the only thing you can do now is list radford for $1000 and hope someone buys him as a rental player for the playoffs.
