Imo, that just doesn't really happen in this game though. There are no hidden bear-traps out there, any potential financial issues are signalled well in advance because of the 'Estimated Wage' availability .... and for the lazy managers, use the 'averages/summaries' tab in RZA, it will even do the totals for you !

I actually think that the only slight 'bear-trap' out there is Coaches Wages, because of the opacity of coaches wage rises (i.e. you won't know until it happens), I did post a suggestion about that but Admin seemed cold on the idea.

I think that the idea of suddenly being in financial trouble is fanciful (barring someone going Banzai on the TM, for example) , there are plenty of warning signs/forecasts for impending financial doom & gloom, it won't be a bolt of lightning from a clear blue sky that kills you, it will be slow and gradual financial suffocation .... like being gripped by a Boa Constrictor ..... I was just about to say that it will be things like one-skilling that financially castrate managers .... but I'd better not mention one-skilling or Swordpriest will think I have some sort of vendetta against him.

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.


Capitalism isn't 'nice', and it's not meant to be .... it's dog eat dog.
But the thing about capitalism is that it works...it's efficient.
If you want nice then live in a hippy commune in the middle of the jungle ... that's 'nice'. But it's not efficient.

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!


But I can beat a lot of other people who don't use the TM either. That is what makes this particular site so cool. You can truly have more than one way to win here. There are multiple strategies. Unlike most sites. At GLB it is whatever the latest copycat system or exploit that will win the day. I mean, I haven't been blown out by you, I just am behind a little.

pure capitalism is dangerous.

lol ... this is going way off-topic.

Plenty of 'pure' things are dangerous, most pure drugs would kill you.... and some foodstuffs too.

anyway .... if pure capitalism is dangerous ... what alternative do you suggest ?

and ... where in the world is there 'pure capitalism' ?

There isn't really. I was just replying to you and Pete about capitalism.

BTW, I know I won't magically wake up one day and find I'm in debt here. I was trying to say that I don't want to create too big a bind later on down the road.

Only real wild card about your way of playing is its still too early to predict just how the TM will treat players once we all start to plateau. I mean the types of numbers your team has thrown around (both bought/sold) is kinda crazy when you sit and think about it. We all know the highs are there but a bad investment or turn of certain events could squash whatever plans you may have had.

I actually thought the TM would have slowed down by now as seeing as the years go by more and more draft talent enters the market but it hasnt as of yet. Doesnt mean it won't though. I would venture come next year almost every manager who has any tenure is going to end up by that point selling a draft player for economic reasons. I didnt understand the overspending two seasons ago.... but two seasons from now I think it'd be even more ludicris to flip a certain bill for any player.

Far be it from me to tell you Sfniner the pros/cons of putting a player on the market but its a strong possibility you might not get anywhere near the amount of money for the player come next year as you would if you put him up right now.

The thing is once we hit this "salary cap" the newer managers will take over our place on the TM. Simple as that. So I don't really see the TM calming down at all, ever. Once draft type players become your avarage joe, those with a couple of seasons training behind them (capped high physicals, main skill 30+) will take their place as the TM record breakers. The only way for us to make money at that point will be to sell our superstars, so maybe SF is onto something by thinking of selling his LB.

if you really have 4 excellent lbs i would sell one of them at the end of the season and draft a new (and cheap) one. With the flush of money you will get (i take a guess....250 mio ) you could then buy another draftie...or do whatever you like...


maybe thats the way i would do it

My newbie opinion on this matter would be to not sell this player, unless you were in a financial trouble. Until then I wouldn't sell such a powerfull weapon to another manager, and a player you clearly have put some work and thought on in building him up.

Here is a small and simple conversion of the skills you shared with us, and how they match when compared to the Max each skill can reach. I don't know what to call it so i placed it under EL/ESR Which means Effective Level/Effective Skill Rating. Aldo the only real way of knowing his ESR would be when compared to every other LB in his league. But that can't be achieved so it's only comparing with the max that each skill can give and where he rates to that.
