I will just add that Lemonshine's analysis of the pure financial matters is excellent reading and guidance. The only addition I could see adding is that where you finish is supposed to have some effect on your fan base in the next season, presumably in season ticket holders and possibly in the fan survey. As that's not really quantifiable (well, at least the data hasn't been figured out yet) it's of course up to you to determine how much weight you want to put in that.

I think what wolph said holds some weight in the calculations as well. If you clinch at least the 5th seed but don't have a team that can make a playoff run, selling off your guys is possibility before the end of the season could be potentially lucrative.

I'm spending 350k in salary in DII..if I take my roster down to the salary floor of around 190k..thats +160k an economic update. You are also able to get the best price on your talent as teams are loading up for the playoffs. If you sell after your playoff or relegation series, you will have to sell at a lower. If you are conservative with your effort during the season, you can also potentially CT/normal your way into a playoff spot and gain some of that first round cash.

Winning the relegation series after selling everyone is a big IF.

Who says you need to win? You just need to ensure you don't get a 3rd game, which, in the OP's case, should be extremely easy to control, be it losing both or winning both. He clearly stated from the beginning that teams in his league can't demote.


This presupposes that the loss of season ticket holders due to demotion is not assessed, which I don't know to be the case (or not to be the case). If it's treated as a team demoting, and then autopromoting due to bot promotion, the STH loss is not offset with a corresponding gain, and that'd be significantly detrimental to future revenues. I might have to actually check that next season if I can manage to lose enough games in IV, though I won't be going out of my way to do so. ;)
