Good advice here from Beener. You need to probably win half your games to end up 5th and be totally safe. Look at who your rivals are and who you are playing each week and who they are playing. Especially while the cup is on you can steal a couple of games easily that can be MASSIVE at the end of the season.

I know a USA team that won division V by having three trainees and just buying $1k scrubs in good GS each week and firing them sunday night. It is that easy.

Making money is also critical. If you find yourself in 6th or 7th at the end of the season you can "rent" some power players to win you the series, but it is better to not have to do it.

I totally disagree with whoever said you can't do training in higher level leagues. I think it is critical but in your situation you will need one experienced and established player in at least one game per week - the one you plan to win.

I wanted to come back to this thread and thank everyone for their advice. I started to get my game shape up and I've won my last four games in a row to even my record at 4-4 and move into 4th place overall. I honestly didn't think my team could do it, but at this point I fully expect to at the very least be in great position to make the playoffs at the end of this season. Not bad considering I was dead last just two weeks ago.

My only roster change was to buy one player. He wasn't even a good buy overall considering I'm paying him $55K per week. But I'm still making tons of money, around $80K per week when it shows my league average is negative $1K per week. I currently have nearly $1M in my bank, so I'm doing ok, I'd say.

Anyway, thanks to all for your advice.

Congrats and good luck for future
