Interesting pre-season rankings, thanks tough. Would like to upgrade but kinda difficult on a shoestring budget. Trying to work on it without blowing up my team completely. We'll see.

Wow, a CT on opening night. Tight game.

Hurts my eyes reading these numbers!!! Reality shock!

Gotta go make that money!! lol

Good stuff thanks!

So I’m still getting my sea legs in division three looking to add a couple more players but even at 250,000 looks like barely be breaking even. Is everyone pretty much underwater week to week?

Got a small cushion that keeps me from going under, but have to get rid of a player before I can add too much.

Not having a home game is going to hurt me tomorrow morning. Got to survive until I have 3 home games in a row in a couple weeks. I am hopeful I can keep this salary throughout a cup and bbm run. I may have to adjust after that.

As I am pretty sure my players will learn to sustain ass whipping on a nightly basis, might as well for me to gain some of your knowledge!

I was wondering if there is important to train ID before Rebounding?
I trained a few selected players 1-on-1 Forwards last season, and now wonder what is best to switch to....
As I see my team giving up worst weekend rebound against stats! I don't know if my players loose this "elasticity" if I train Rebounding before ID...

On a second point, I loved the 1-on-1 Forward, would you suggest to continue as long as the players pop or switch at one point?

Thanks!

Wow a 200k salary player... this league only gets crazier!

Is there a tool that reports league details? buzzer manager will show your current league, but curious what other dIII's average on payroll to compare league strength

edit - yeah 200k player i lineup against tomorrow. first two games of the season, top two payrolls. *welcome to diii, promotee!*

ngl i've always been intrigued by Asingratitos' strategy. It seems he hires fixed mercenaries on a weekly and releases them right before financial update to avoid paying the salary. Back in the day when GS didn't reset after a transfer this strategy would be OP, but idk how productive it is in respect to winning. He is still in the league so he's definitely got some savvy in em
