Come on , they was bought players when prices was much higher than today.

So it only means that previous B3 winners, listed two post above, had better earnings thanks trading in past ;-)
So we should appreciate Scorpions even more ;-)

Thats a very disingenuous argument. You're looking at one number and making a terrible assumption about spending, and then also, day trading.

I'm sure many arguments against Scorpions are disingenuous too.
245M in Sharman's transfer history is terrible for most of users ;-)
It's very similar strategy - success is built thanks money anyway. I'm not advocate of Scorpions but I don't see differences between his and previous B3 winners strategies are so huge. Maybe he had less time in past to click on transfer list hundreds times every day ;-) And therefore he prefer quicker way for trophy.

The problem is that he doesn't understand game engine enough he just bought players and win it by power. He is not able to play best tactic for his roster. And also with better knowledge of the game and his money could be build even stronger team, some of his players are not good enough or are making too much fouls.
And your numbers about total spendings are totally off. It only shows that we are used to rotate players, nothing more. And it is easier to save money (no mother which tanking way) and build team for few months than build every season competitive team.

they have been using daytrading to compete every year.

they have been trading for longer.

They have used less money per player.

they have done something (even if you dont like it) to earn the money while VS just sat down doing nothing productive (bbwise) and has let a weak Iranian league do the saving money trick for him.

VS is the legit champion in the same way a king is a legit ruler, he was in the right country (for) enough time. (After that, you can be a good or a bad player/ruler, and even if he is a good one, he is not the best. And that is what puny unimportant managers like me want to see, BB best.

I can't accept calling me daytrader ... it was there in past and I have counted how much I earned by daytrading and it was just around 200-300k in total.
Rotating players is not the same as daytrading.

Sadly, this won't be achieved until BB's recognize their is a problem with current set of rules in the game that allows this behaviour in B3. How many season would have to pass for them to see it? The countdown has already started.

Like some of the complicated problemas BB has seen, the solution would not be good for everyone.

Im sorry if I offended you, I didnt check dates of your transferlist but I should have, but my point is still there, even if you had taken advantage of daytrading, your win would have had more value than VS's.

That said, note that I have nothing against VS, he alone has made this BB3 more exciting. He has taken advantage of the tools he had to win. And that is what winners do, be it save in a small country or use day trading.

If the game was about fairness, players such as Elgin Baylor, Patrick Ewing, Pete Maravich, John Stockton, Karl Malone, or Sir Charles Barkley would have won the NBA.
