Good stuff thanks!

So I’m still getting my sea legs in division three looking to add a couple more players but even at 250,000 looks like barely be breaking even. Is everyone pretty much underwater week to week?

Got a small cushion that keeps me from going under, but have to get rid of a player before I can add too much.

Not having a home game is going to hurt me tomorrow morning. Got to survive until I have 3 home games in a row in a couple weeks. I am hopeful I can keep this salary throughout a cup and bbm run. I may have to adjust after that.

As I am pretty sure my players will learn to sustain ass whipping on a nightly basis, might as well for me to gain some of your knowledge!

I was wondering if there is important to train ID before Rebounding?
I trained a few selected players 1-on-1 Forwards last season, and now wonder what is best to switch to....
As I see my team giving up worst weekend rebound against stats! I don't know if my players loose this "elasticity" if I train Rebounding before ID...

On a second point, I loved the 1-on-1 Forward, would you suggest to continue as long as the players pop or switch at one point?

Thanks!

Wow a 200k salary player... this league only gets crazier!

Is there a tool that reports league details? buzzer manager will show your current league, but curious what other dIII's average on payroll to compare league strength

edit - yeah 200k player i lineup against tomorrow. first two games of the season, top two payrolls. *welcome to diii, promotee!*

ngl i've always been intrigued by Asingratitos' strategy. It seems he hires fixed mercenaries on a weekly and releases them right before financial update to avoid paying the salary. Back in the day when GS didn't reset after a transfer this strategy would be OP, but idk how productive it is in respect to winning. He is still in the league so he's definitely got some savvy in em

I am not sure yet if it makes sense too lol. But it allowed me to stay in D-III last season for sure - I did a couple of wins that helped me stay 6th in my conference. And it really works well for the first game of the season, since GS resets on the first Friday. Note also that if one buys players with high GS really cheap Monday-Thursday then they might be back to decent GS for Saturday games after the Friday update. The main downside frankly is that it requires very active play -it brings back memories of early 2010s when Google Chrome used to crash from the number of active TL tabs.

But I think the rules should change eventually so that the game is more realistic. The rule should be that you have to pay at least one salary for each player, just like what happens with staff members.

It all really comes back to some foundational issues with the economic structure that had cracks from the very beginning. This option just another leak in the dam.

It def seems effective at this point of the season, but you didnt create this reality you're just leveraging it. Do what works, play on playa
