Hi folks,

I am in division 4 and am looking to buy a dominating centre to build around. I have found one but his salary is 14,837 a week. I was wondering if you think I can afford to be paying that much at my level of earnings. Bearing in mind he will be my superstar player.

Also, if I do buy him I can sell two players that will shave 8,000 off of my salary bill.

Hope you can give me some advice.

seems like a bit of overkill in your league... a player with 8-9k salary should suffice. And I'd recommend trimming salary whenever possible, 12-13 players on the roster is generally a good number.

Thanks guys.

I only started this last weekend and truth is I really don`t know where to strengthen my team and what kind of shape my roster is in. I have built a really good, I think, front court though. I don`t know wether to play my strongest team in both league games or weakne the team to develop good young players in the PF and C postions. Some people have told me to develop young players so that I can sell them for profit but then if I do that I am weakening my team.

What do you think? Should I play my best team or play younger players to sell them later for profits?

It really depends on your long term goals.

Is this a guy you will be training?

What is your current and projected cashflow? (Not including Cup wins) Can you afford it?

Do you need the guy to win and advance?

Those are the questions you need to ask yourself. IMO

IF you dont need him save money for your team after you promote as Div III will be harder, much harder.

it really depends on what you want to do , do you want to build players to sale or do you want to build your own to from scratch. Sometimes from what I have to seen is you might have to weaken your team for a season to make it stronger next season. I have several foreign born players on my team that I have bought looking back I wish I would have built my own team from scratch. Well that and I wish I would have put more into this game than I have since I have been playing from season 4 but didnt get serious till midway through season 9.

Generally for beginners, you'd want to train either guards or bigs, and have veterans fill the spots of the positions you're not training. For you, I'd recommend training guards (that would include playing some of your short forwards as guards, since they'd be able to train guard skills quicker and tend to be nice small forwards). Then, you can shore up your front court with another good center. That way, you can train guards every week, and field a good enough front court to win as well.

you could be able to pay him easily, in germany some fourth division teams have player on the bench with that salary.

If it's encessary for your league, it's another qquestion you must answer for yourself.
