With salaries dropping and 2 of your 9/10 players potentially being quality 50-70k SF's, there is no reason why you can't build a monster 9-10man roster and compete across all fronts.


If you're lucky with injuries you can do it with 8 + 2 good young trainees + a scrub. Most of the better EBBL teams have 8 or 9 players they compete with plus a few scrubs or young trainees who aren't really good enough to try and win anything other than early round cup games with.

It's ok to test some out there tactics. Even if this one works for you, I think it's not really a suitable one in general (especially not ok to suggest this to just started users).
In the end you choose the tactic for your team. Noone else actually has a say in that.

I didn't suggest it to a new user though.

What are you on about? The strategy did work. I bought and kept 5 high salary players on my roster last season and managed to gaurantee a 4th place finish. But if I stayed in 4th I probably would have lost in the first round, and then I would have to pay the salaries during the offseason. Instead, I sold them at a loss, but saved money during the offseason, and just bought another player just then, so now I have 3 high salary players on my roster. You said I'm losing games at the moment, but that is because I haven't played my high salary players in the games yet. I need to find 2 more players that I like, and then I will start trying to win games. And at the moment I'm focussing on getting money from the cup games as well. I don't plan on selling the players on my roster at the moment, no point in this market. I will keep them until their skills drop.

I think what he's trying to say is that you just seem to be going season to season with no real long term plans or goals at the moment.
If you look at the team from a season ago to now, there doesn't seem to be much significant improvement because your whole strategy depends on being lucky or unlucky on the markets.

Day trading or relying on the markets for your teams success is ultimately not a very good long term strategy ;)

haha perhaps :P Well my goal is to make it to the ABBL. So I just want to get the best team possible, make a run for it, and if I make it then great, and if not then I'll try again next season.
My team is certainly stronger now than the beginning of last season, so it isn't like I'm not improving.

Well it's worked so far, so we'll see how it goes.
