I still think that is a normal drop in prices after the transfer deadline...no one knows for sure what will happen until salaries are updated and we start seeing top players on the TL


Weird isnt it.. that you get a lull ahead of anticipated wage hikes with the expectation that the most expensive (in general best) players will soon hit the market.

IF only there was a way to calculate salary based on efficiency: Mono-skilled players could be calculated with more weighting/cost on their highly trained skills with more balanced players actually reducing in wages the more balanced their skills are.

eg. Triple Prodigious ID/IS/RB with Pitiful PA/JS/HD = $250k
Triple Prodigious ID/IS/RB with Strong PA/JS/HS = $150k (very crude example)

At least this way an expensive wage player can be saved off the transfer list with some careful training OR you could continue to add primary skills later on if you dedicated sufficient time to other more difficult training.

That should be a penalty for tha players who unluckily born with very ad secondary skills
A users should think about salaries without waiting a punishment by someone.As you certainly know,the two players you shows in the exampole,in the actual system yet have the same salary,but the second is much more stronger than the first.

I know they have almost the same salary - my point was if the wage calculation differed this 'may' encourage more thoughtful training.

If you knew you could build up a triple stupendous big man and it would cost you $325k a week without secondaries but you knew he would cost you $225k with reasonable secondaries 1) You could tailor your training / economy to budget for this + you could look at any investment as viable for the long term rather than looking upon someone as a 'quick fix' to win you a couple of games knowing that you would likely have to sell the player in question on shortly after.

Hope you are right. I suspect that there are some teams that will struggle. Those mono skilled monsters are going to get you no where other than debt. Teams who have built balanced rosters that have depth may now start to gain the upper hand.

All salaries rise by 10 or 15% or whatever it was that they decided.

Pretty crazy with players like this: (4752399)

Logically speaking this isn't the time or even the right season to buy players, anyone who does will have to be willing to overpay. I think it might take a couple of seasons till prices adjust to more equilibrium levels. But then again, if you want short term success then here's your chance with less competition in the market.

I do not believe this. Given that there will be salary updates every season from now into infinity, I would say that the market is now harder to predict than ever. Plus this season there will be more supply on the transfer market, as teams figure out how much salary they can afford under the new regime.

I would say 80-125K will be the optimum range for training vs the return on your investment, provided the player is multi-skilled. If the player is young and still has potential to improve, even better.
