Great work surviving. I can tell you how to win my way, but I need to know what way you want to win. Some like to train, some to daytrade in players, some to go all out to win now, some like to build a team that will take a while to develop but then will be dominant. How do you want to do about it? The most important thing is if you want to train next week is the best week of the season to pick up three great trainees that can one day take you to the ABBL.

Preferably i would like to build a team around young Aussie talent and fill in the gaps with veteran Australian players. Im not sure if I'll have enough money next week as i only have 140k at the moment And making about 90k a week. Also, I have just recently purchased a level 4 trainer in preparation for next season. His wage is 12k so I'm happy i got him for less than 5k

Only trouble is there are a lot of us that think that way and they don't seem to in the US or Europe. Last season there was less than a dozen good young Aussie draft picks put up for sale in draft week. A lot of people keep them even if they end up not training them, as I confess I have done a little myself this season.

Okay, so then what would you suggest? I really don't have much of an idea on what would be the right direction to pursue next season so any pointers you have would help. What would you do if you were controlling my team?

1) Draft a superstud.
2) Buy two amazing 19 year olds (they are so undervalued it is criminal) with great height and potential hopefully one Aussie.
3) Tank the season aiming for 7th (if possible 15th best record) and making a ton of money.
4) Train all three players mainly in OD or PA for the whole season (some JS or one on one in two game weeks).
5) Draft another superstud at the end of the season.
6) Sell the second superstud for a fortune.
7) Buy some real ballers in the Forward and C positions and win your division.

His league isn't your league. But hey I have only been in division III twice for one season each time and I won both times so it seems easy to me!

hey just another question, two of the players i have up for sale do not have a bid yet and the auction runs out tonight. I want to get rid of their salaries as soon as possible so if they do not sell would it be better for me to put them up for sale again at $1000 or just fire them. I figure ill save time by just firing them because even if someone purchases them for a low price, i will not be losing out on much. What do you suggest?

There are TONS of teams that have been stuck in division III for seasons through no fault of their own but they tend to come from some of the "bottleneck" leagues like III.6, III.12 and maybe III.1, III.10 or III.13. It is all just the luck of the draw. Some leagues like III.6 and III.12 just randomly end up full of well managed teams that constantly get in each others way.
