I keep losing my best players because my team can't seem to make any money 20 days into the season. The first warning I was down 2-4 million, and I just assumed that I would make that money back pretty quickly over a few home games. I was wrong. Is there a way to sell back my fanshop and accessories? I cut my staff, and I lost all my facilities to this scourge too. I don't understand how I'm 20 days into the season yet i can't generate any positive cash flow? Its really hurting my team. Also, can I buy back the players I've lost? I've tried but it doesn't seem to want to let me. Thanks.

You have only had two home league games this season. The good news is that your next four of five are at home. Your income should start picking up.

You are not making much money, because player and coaches wages combined were too high for the weeks where you only get Supercup income. Plus that high wages need a deep pocket, which you don‘t have, and deep playoff runs in league and Supercup.

I‘m not 100% sure, but didn‘t not also miss the mediacenter payout on 1st Wednesday?

You lost so far some of the most expensive players, which lowers you wage amount and slowly you should recover, but you can‘t buy them back, unless they come up randomly on the market and you better get your income and spendings in line for the future.

As rough rule of thump the sum of the wages should not be higher than 6 mio, better 5.5 mio or less.

You can put them on the transfermarket yourself, through the roster history.

Your are right. But they will be expensive.

I can say from bitter experience that $6.2M total wages is about break even annual cashflow for a team that is seeing some small but fairly consistent post season action and I have aimed for about $20M minimum in the bank at season start in case I run into a slow start to the season (e.g. few home games).

Managing wages is the way to go. I try not to let anyone go above 39 skill level in a single area other than Str and Spe. Even agility i maintain under 40.

I had built what i thought was a Elite team and had to sell it all and start again.
