Hammy knows how to play to his strengths, he's a pretty smart manager. He beat me in OT by one in our Private League game the other day. Not suprised that he won at all.

First the guy that's 22k is only a C for ID and RB skills. Second his team is mostly made up of 21-24 that are on average 5k salary with exception of few players. Thus means his player did not match my starters that are a bit older, but with average of 8k salary. I know they might be being trained, so they haven't had their salaries increased, but I got trainees too same age and with higher salaries, so I highly doubt his team is better than mines. Yes the big fault was my main players GS were low because of my mistaken in Cup game line up set up due to limited access of internet due to me being on vacation and I TIE'ed game too. We will see in a month, we will be meeting in my house and on TV too. We''ll see then.

Er? He has 4 guys with 8000+ salary. So it's not such a clear comparison as you stated.

Then, he CTed, and you TIE.
Next, he's at home.
Next, your GS stunk, his was good.
Next, he had a better bench, or at least he used them. Your guys all played essentially the entire game, meaning that on average they didn't perform up to their salary/gameshape level, due to being tired.

Frankly, I'd have been surprised had you won even on equal effort.

Plus, with his players I'm not sure you can go only by salary. Why? Well his big men and SFs had quite a few assists in that game (he had overall very good flow). Passing doesn't add much to their salaries, but it makes them a lot more effective. And, I wouldn't be surprised if his cheaper guys have good defensive skills, which are relatively cheaper than the corresponding jump shot levels.

The game is not about salary. The sooner you understand this, the better.
