Maybe i'm in the minority, but i actually like stagnation / deflation.

But a question to those in the top divisions -- is it really necessary to almost bankrupt yourself on player salaries? (Is the competition so great that it's necessary to avoid relegation?) Unless you're on the verge of winning a title, why spend so much money?

Of course I'm only in USA Div III, so have no clue what it's like. In my situation, prior to this season my merchandise & tv money *alone* were higher than my total expenses. (Other teams had single players making more than my entire roster combined). Yet I still had decent success even with the lowest team payroll in the league. (even made it to the finals both season 11 & 12) So while that may not be possible in higher divisions, can you still make a decent profit & while say finishing 3rd or 4th place? Or simply not possible?

Yes,you can have it,if your goal is to finish 3rd or 4th in your league
But your goal should not be to win?

I think perhaps the point is trying to win every year and being able to successfully do that is much harder now, which does not seem like a bad thing. You might have to plan for a few seasons before you can make a successful championship run AND be able to continue forward without going bankrupt.

I dont see the dwindling prices as much of an issue, since it seems all prices are down. Sure your top guy wont net 8million for you anymore, but if he nets 5million and every other price is down, the relative value you gain should still be close to the same.

I think that the main problem is that 1$ doesn't worth the same for all,because the effort that you have to put in to the game to gain it is very different between your league and your country and another league and country

in germany "two" low budgets team calculated, that the weekly income without them was -50k in the first division, with decent cup runs it is a +/- 0 thing for them during the regular season but in the off season we loose lot of money ;)

I have a quite cheap rooster depending on salary and make still 10-80k depending on success + Cup profit each week, and i plan with the semifinals in my division so i won't loose money in the off season(but i believe i am not the only one with this plan *gg)
So it is possible, BUT my players are pretty expensiv when i buy them, so i loose lot of my money through "aging" so it isn't necessary the best economical way.

In terms of economy and pricing, where we are headed doesnt seem like a bad direction to me, and while there may be stagnation now, it seems that planning out a 2-3 season block carefully can really help your team move up. You can still train and sell for value, just like everyone else you are competing with.

You are not the only one that can plan for the future

Can't agree, if you see what direction has taken the game during this last two seasons, the best planning its to do good movements in short term.
