I been around a while (and I'm cheap and have had some success), so I have a pretty decent war chest for my team.

However, I see a few players making comments about financial constraints etc.

I'm just wondering how many teams are:

1. Economical Stable.
2. Profitable (mature teams)
3. Some savings, but losing money...
4. Living Year to Year
5. Living Game to Game

Some savings but losing money. However thatโ€™s a choice and my recent activity on the transfer market explains it.

I record the result of each season in a press release.

Right now my war chest is about 587 millions.

I was a no.3, but that was only ever between 200m and 100m throughout my career... now I've proved I should never go over 4.5m player wages without a massive bank balance if anyone's interested. Without success you can find yourself in massive trouble within a couple of seasons at only 100m

I had to make some changes in my team and in my decision making just to try to keep on running this team with results being primary reason to go down do D1.

First one: Wages (players + coaches) can be as much as 7,5 millions (season 45) but goal is to set them on 7 millions in season 46

Second one: Premium academy gone for now, hope to get it back in season 46

Third one: Give all the best in SC to try to earn like 20 millions extra (4 rounds) to stay in positive balance this season (so draw give us easier opponents ๐Ÿ˜‚)

Fourth one: Sold one 50/50 19 years old and got 17 millions net for him. Move that was a must for me, because these days you just can't sell anything

I made so many mistakes in the past which cost me a lot of money, so bank account right now is stable but no way near Ducks account.

So I opened my lap top, opened excel and made my next 10 seasons team projection to see does it and where it needs improvement. So I hope with decent SC runs I can make Elephants money making company ๐Ÿ’ถ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ฒ๐Ÿ’ฐ

3. Some savings, but losing money...

Started in end S28, during my team building I reached in S33 my maximum account balance at 366M.
I started this season at 300M so I lost 66M in 10 seasons till S43 with an avg loss of -6.6M per season, but I keep myself really away from the TM.
Going up and down from elite to league 1 helps a bit in recovering money, playing the playoff till the bowl in league 1 and CoC the next season.
I think nowadays is very difficult to be competitive with a coaches+team salary below 7.5M...

I am a big ol' 1.
This is my 8th full season and my player wages have always been low (but rising) beacuse i am tight (cheap). Current balance is 673m.

Working on last seasons profit - with no SC, league playoff or transfer money, 6.5m total wages seems to be around the break even point.

I don't buy much on the TM as when a decent player does come along the price soon gets too expensive for me.

You are right!
I think nowadays FOR ME is very difficult to be competitive with a coaches+team salary below 7.5M...

And by the way I said "very difficult" and not "impossibile"

SC champion seasons 40 and 41 - that is 14 games x 5.000.000 per game = 70.000.000 extra + 10.000.000 prize money
Coc seasons 36 and 42 - 5 games x 4.000.000 per game = 20.000.000 extra
PO seasons 34 to 43 - 18 games x 5.000.000 per game = 90.000.000 extra + like 10.000.000 prize money

That is key to your good balance: 200.000.000 from extra games (didn't include SC for 8 more seasons so there must be at least 100.000.000 more).

Told you, I opened excel and put it all in there. So 7 millions is maximum if you want to stay near 0 for the season with 2 SC extra games (not a lot to ask for ). If you want premium academy 6.5 in max in that case.
