you're not in the top 100 salaries


Because it is not about salary

For me it look like more like "wake up people" to get more attention on market for player and see if there is people to pay 200 Mill for this player

sfniner, i say put him on tm and then wait and see and hope you get lot money to see you back again on TM because is a bit boring out there

My main hope ist: he sells this beauty and waste then his money on players i would not give a cent, so he weak himself for the upcoming season when hopefully "exploitment" is not possible even longer

So final word: yes you can! Sell him!

Now I understand
He is a broker, not the coach.

lord I really just looked over my contracts... 70% of my team is signed til after season 6. come season 7 I can't see even half of these guys being on my team. I gotta scout everybody....


Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm really not surprised by this statement .... when I've seen some of your players on the TM, they're often the most one-skilled players I've seen like here.

Not only do extreme one-skillers not appear to perform as well as equivalent round-built players, the skills vs wages graph is against you .... towards the top-end of skills, the graph starts to go almost exponential .... and exponential (in this case) = financial pain. Either that or you have a player whose salary is so ludicrous it makes him virtually unsaleable on the TM (witness the player a few weeks ago with the wages of $437,000).


Yeah thats the biggest mistake I made in the game (will post more on that later). You can't really see the difference that an individual skill has on salary til you get in the late 30s or so. It makes sense that guys who are singular in skill would cost a lot more but I just thought from how the game was designed (with its emphasis on players being able to be cross trained to such an extent) that salary was determined by the TOTAL number of points added up across technical skills board as opposed to the highest one. I really looked at what I was doing as a matter of strategic difference.... not financial self-flogging.

True I've spent 580 million on TM players over all time. I've only sold 250 million worth. 260 million of my buys have been in the last season and this one. So I suppose I was pretty even until my buys as of late. I did get a draft starting qb, draft starting wr, draft starting lb, draft starting kicker, and a near draft like starting DL out of that 260 million. Look man, I've got to find some way to catch up to my rival, Majalorca Pigs. The guy beat me the last two Dragon's championships in a row and the CoC final.

I understand that I don't have the top salaries out there but I'm looking ahead to the next season when players such as the one I described have contracts that are up. I will be fine this season no problem, and probably next season too. I just don't want to wake up one day and be in big trouble because I didn't prepare.

I'm not going to change my TM habits completely. I'm ADHD, so I'm impulsive and going to spend money on players. I want to have the flexibility to do so.

I'm not complaining about not having money or players, in fact I'm not complaining at all. I'm just asking advice for what you would have done for the style that I play.

Thanks for the advice from everyone. I'm going to keep him until I see what happens with a few key games this season.

Look at my trasfermarket, maybe your way is not the best one?
Sell baby, sell! I will grant you 30 millions for such a champion!

That is what I was thinking all the time. If the game would exist longer, we would see decent players on the market...but the game is too young. Therefore I am wondering again and again how "nice" this capitalism is working here.
