While your advice about trainer level is solid, I think it unfair to suggest that players from small countries don't know what they are talking about. I would never suggest a player in D. V go for an expensive trainer. In fact, just the opposite. My country has but 36 active users.

Now as far as your the OP goes, I think you should cut your squad to 12 guys, 13 tops. Sell or cut Simons, Spivey and Carmichael. That's $7500/wk you will save. You are out of the Cup so there should be no trouble getting the appropriate minutes for your players. The next thing I would suggest is to not worry about adding to your roster but to concentrate on increasing your arena capacity. Making money from your arena is the key to establishing yourself financially in this game, no matter what division you play in. I see you are selling out your courtside and lower tier seats. Bump the price (say to $50 and $130) and add a few, like 5 courtside and 10 lower tier, if you can afford that. If you can't then 3 and 5 like you are doing currently. Every time a build is finished, start a new one. Add some bleachers, too, as these are your bread and butter. Even if you aren't selling them out right now, you will soon enough, especially if you keep winning.

As far as your training, I'd be training Valadez, Adam, and Ribas as much as possible. That's going to mean playing Valadez out of position, but that's what scrimmages are for.

Yes, and you have day-traded your way to lots of profit. That's why you can afford level 5 and 6 trainers in the lowest division. This is not what most people do, and certainly the Norwegian does not do that, either. He relies on his
DII income, which USA D V players cannot.

Your advice is not for the average player who does NOT want to spend his live buying and selling players.

As you say, it is a way to play the game, simply not a way I would be proud to admit too.

Good move. Good luck!

I have to say that countries with a small player base, do get it a lot easier.
It's like being born in a high placed family, everything is handed to you and you don't even work for it.
I also dislike day traders because I find that's not the way this game is meant to be played.
It's just how it is...

Your post sounds little harsh about small country users. No need to be that rude if another player plays in smaller country.

Yeah! Us managers in the countries with low numbers of users have to make the most out of turbans we're dealt!
