Tho story behind game shape is because i had 12 players yesterday but i sold 3 good players to keep jonathan (70k player) so i have now 9 players, i did that cuz i know i'll have new draftees although i know they might be very bad but i belive that a 70 k player will take me to another level of competition, my future stratigy for next season is to keep the best one of the new draftees, that means i'll have a total of 10 players, keep training loic+timo+new draftee and spending 200k on arena + buying new star SF (timo will be a back up for him ) what do you think? your opinion matters my freind ;).

Right, I guess you're absolutely right about that. But if I get promoted to div I, what should I be doing? still invest most of money on arena or save it and buy skillful players?

i don't checked the complette rosters division I of India, but the 5th placed team of the left side "kings of BB" has a comparable roster then yours besides his one 70k center, and he won't relegate.

So i don't think that you have to give up the season to tank, and try to stay in league it is not impossible and lot more fun then just to train.

So my advices are, get some older skilled player(you get quite solid ones for 500k), from your promotion bonus(maybe even you could sell two of your older trainees, to get a third one) and you have a rotation who could at least won the homegames. Maybe you will still relegate but you will earn money, and have the fun of close matches.

Well what I'm seeing is that there are 2 teams (one is bot now) and the other one hasn't signed in for a month now. so that team will probably become bot too. Which means I might end up 6th or 7th so I may not relegate. The 6th place now is All Dragoon and I had a scrimmage with him last week and there was only 9 points difference. Ofc not many people use the best players for scrimmage so it probably wasn't his best member but at least I understood, roughly, how strong one of the weaker teams in division I is. I think there is a good chance that I won't relegate once I get promoted to divison 1.

Right, promotion bonus, I completely forgot about that. Well yeah I think I should buy a few decent players (don't have to be young because I currently have 2 main trainees) so that I can compete, perhaps not evenly but at least close. Also I still need to expand my arena because my arena is still very small compared to other teams in division 1.

As i said the tfifth team from the left("BB Kings") is possible to beat for you, it isn't easy but with current prices he haven't a big advantage with his current rooster when you spend the promotion Bonus wise and concentrate on the games you could win(because tactic isn't everybodys strength)

I would first look to get competive, and then invest in your arena but then you could be generous there and reinvest your income there.

Ok, i'll make sure I don't do stupid things with the promotion bonus. But then I'm not sure which players I should be buying...meaning their position. My team isn't so bad in outside shooting but also not so bad in inside shooting...

i am not 100% sure, but i believe you are training guards? So you could play 2 trainees there, and buy 2 big men(maybe defensiv specialist or allrounder) from your promotion bonus and big guys are very cheap at the moment so you could get solid quality for 500k.

Okay... here's my take... but you might or might not agree with me :)
Bear in mind a lot of assumptions are being made here!

Right now you have your 70k player but are still 4th, and not really dominating your league. 4th is still decent though.
What I find very alarming is your net income is - 2.7k. I play in a small country myself, so I've never had to work my butt off from the lower divisions and move up.
I really don't think that you require a 70k player at that division, but i've not looked at the other teams in your league. Firstly the income is insane and costing u to sell other players to cover the cost. Think about it this way, if you have a "A ++++ shooter" being defended by a "C defender", he'll score... but so will a "B shooter" who prob cost you 1/10 his price.

Bear in mind, you're not scouting atm. I'm assuming u stopped because you found a few players you like. Next season, when your players go up in income and you scout again, you'll be about 30k (estimate) in the negative every week. Which is not healthy for a young team that wants to build up.

What I would do personally is this I would sell that center, and buy two 10kish players. I'm not sure how much u can fetch from selling him. Since you are training guards, perhaps a strong SF with skills that a multi dimensional so u can play in more than one role. Then save the rest of the money to put into your arena.

If you are looking to build a team, it is a good idea to invest in your draft and pick up some nice players or buy strong trainees. This will give you a long term team that you can build up and move on to the higher division. And perhaps even the one above that when your trainees mature. I'm not one who is insane over super high potential players, but I'd look into getting an 18 year old all star with a nice skill set. And aim for promotion in 1 - 2 seasons.

Right now, being negative -2k (possibly higher later on) isn't a healthy long term prospect.

Just my two cents and my own POV. I'd suggest asking around to get some other opinions too : )

The 70k C was brought in last week, the team is worth better than 4th now.

weeso, what is the rational for buying this center, are you going for the championship ? It will be tough.

Be careful with your team finances. You will have a lower income during the next weeks, you will lose money. Your last two games are on the road, during the PO, you'll get 1/3 from tickets sells away and 2/3 at home. If your next season first game is on the road, you'll lose money again at the first economic update.
If you are not sitting on some cash now, you can quickly find yourself in trouble and your players asset is limited.

Thx for your opinion my freind and i think you've got a point, bu don't you think it will be a mistake to sell him now for tow reasons:
1- i just bought him last week so i'll recieve 80% of his price.
2-the market is down and his estimated price is 1.3M-1.5M.

am a little worry about those 2 reasons what do you think? should i sell him for 1.3 or less.

hey mate , i actually got him to build a good team for next season cuz am planinning to promote, but i guess i was wrong

and what i did is a stupid step so if you have a solution for me i'll be greatfull and as you can see from my last post i guess

selling the player will be the solution unliss you have something in mind !!??

A quick question in the middle of this thread..
If a team is in a lower div and ends up in the playoffs but dont win it to promote.. However there are few teams, lets say 4 or 5, in the upper div that went BOT; would this playoff team promote automatically?
