Yeah rivalry is always fun :)
Yeah I realise my biggest weakness at the moment is the number of players. I only have 5 permanent players, the other 3 I will fire before the salary update if they don't sell. I plan on buying one more player before playoffs start though so I will go in to playoffs with 6 players. The reason I had to cut down my roster was because of an injury my starting powerforward received last week so I had to sell a few players and buy a more expensive player to make my playoff run.
My center is short, however I did not train him up to this point so the height doesn't matter to me. And he is definitely not an SF, haha or just a really bad SF :D
I only have 1 real trainee which is the 18 year old. Everyone else on the team will get trained with him depending on what I'm training that week. But I always do 1 position training where available. The training for the rest of the team is to just get a few pops here and there and that should be enough to increase the value of those players by at least 1 million collectively. And I find 24-25 year olds still pop with decent consistency - I got 3 pops this week so I think it is worth it.
Yeah I think you need at least another million in your arena, however your tv income and merchandise is probably higher than me because you are in a higher division so that would narrow the gap in attendance income.
Goodluck to you too! Hopefully you can promote to div 1. That would be good :)
Looking forward to our match!
