I've been seriously thinking about selling one of my drafts, and the reason behind it is this:

If a manager sells one of his draftees, he'll easly get 40+ million for that player. Unless it's K or P I guess, but still 25-30 million in the bag for those as well. Building the stadium from scratch (so from 5000 regular seats) takes 54,4 million. Now if the manager in question has that extra money, already has some seats built, or the player goes for 50+ million, he can max out his stadium by the end of next week (considering those few days of bidding, and construction). From then on he'll be getting ~8 million per league game and ~4 million per supercup game, plus around 600k per friday friendlies.

Now if the match schedule for everyone else looks similar to mine, then a maxed out stadium gets you 50+ million by the end of March (including the negatives from financial updates of course). From that 50+ million you can easly get yourself a new draft player.

Now you're there with the same ammount of draftees in your team, a maxed out stadium (which you can't accomplish so fast the "regular way"), and a massive ammount of income from then on.

.
.
.

But after some calculations I've decided not to sell anyone, since with 50k seats I'm around break even. But it's deffinitely worth it for any new manager, or managers with less than 50k seats IMO.

Of course this post isn't about encourageing anyone to sell his draftees. There's no guarantee the player will go for 40+ million, nor is there any guarantee you'll be able to buy that "missing" draftee for "only" 50 million. Plus I've maxed out my YA right after joining RZA, without knowing it isn't worth it at all in the beginning. I can't do any calculations on guys who focus on their stadiums right away...

This is just meant to be a heads up to anyone who's interested. Thoughts?

I had a look at this after telling a newbee it could be wise to sell a draftee. I for myself spent just a bit more than 3 months to max out my stadium. I bought 3 employees, and several players meanwhile, so I didn't focus entirely on the stadium, and also lost some money on not getting "max stadium size" teams in my friendlys and even not playing some.
Point is; I think it's possible to max your stadium in less than 3 months now. Realistic? Maybe not. Good for the newcomers? Definetly.
Message is; Keep your draftees, focus on stadium, then get coaches and YA imho.

Exactly!

I don't understand why some feel the need to try to "short cut" just to try to get up to the level of the "older" owners.

Take your time.
Build your stadium as fast as you can.
Read.
Learn.
Have fun, because it's just a game.

Because it's possible, and IMO it shouldn't be. Right now the only way to become competitive on the TM is to max out your stadium ASAP. And selling a draftee is the fastest way to do it.

I mean seriously, maxing out a stadium in 1 week? Then spilling tens of millions on the TM with the rest of them? The sheer possibility of that is just wrong...

Sometimes it is ok, if a newbee sell draft player.

1. He drafted 2 players for one one spot (QB,K,P)
2. He drafted a player for an unimportant position (e.g. OL)
3. Player capped below 45 in his primary physical skill

BUT sell never Draftees with outstanding Physical caps. You don't know if you will get a great player again and for which price. Nobody can say, which prices will be payed in a few month.

That shows how we look at teams differently Buffalo, I'd never have described OL as unimportant - to me it's 2nd behind DL.

I don't think it is wrong at all. That owner lost a valuable contributing player that they can't replace for at least a season. It cost them quite a bit.

I would never ever sell a OL. Very rare and it takes ages to fill all five spots through the draft.

I would also not sell any drafty.

There is no garantee for 40+ mio.

But that doesn't mean the OL is THAT important here.

But I think they are, so I don't back that statement.
