I've seen somewhere here that someone talked about "training = money", I don't know your opinion but in this moment the heaviest increasing have been on the grandpa players that never got any train since ages.
The problem still coming from micronation economy + utopia + the cut on the free agent.
The real problem is again the long term project, just take as example the bonus to be promoted on first division; 3 seasons ago you could bought a great player, this season maybe a decent rookie.
