I have this information from jonas in HT, letter he send after they took over again. I tried to find it but I couldn´t so may be it´s misunderstanding. If so, sorry for that but I´m pretty sure I remember it right.

About transfer strategy we use obviously the same strategy. I try to play I would play in RL to have it more realistic. For example I tried in 3 months to find a SF which had the minimum skill I was looking at (which are high) but without success. As I was in big problem with only one SF good enough I finish my search last week with buying overpriced but I can use in long time for squad dept so it was ok.

In sokker.org they have tax for selling players. I seen there one problem. Clubs with less money suffer for it because some times it takes time to sell player, special if you are selling on not a good time (there come autobid strong in) but clubs with a lot of money don´t find it on the budgets.

ps. It would be good if men see if someone reply to them in the forum

Way too rational a post. How do you expect to get a reply? ;)

The point about a listing tax hurting people that should not necessarily be considered a problem is a good point. If you buy an 18 year old trainee, give him seven seasons of training and turn him into a superb player, and then list him at a fair price but don't get bites for a while, the listing tax would be hurting a person for a behavior that one presumes should be encouraged.

I think it was Hattrick (though I might be wrong here) that had a rule that you could only list non-homegrown players a number of times equal to the number of times they've played for you (so you buy a player and he can't be relisted until he appears in a game). Something like that concept applied to listing tax and a maximum initial bid price might be a decent solution - if a guy has only played 10 minutes in your club, for example, you might only be able to list him for sale at 1k for free, or up to his initial purchase price with a listing tax. If he's played for you 2000 minutes, conversely, you might be able to list him up to a $2M initial bid price with no listing tax.

Those are all just rough numbers, of course, just thrown together as the idea struck me from reading your post.

Edit: the expert from England, who originated in England III and spent four seasons there before promoting ... I'm not a math graduate but...
a) I made the playoffs (13 Human Teams) the first 2 seasons and promoted on the third. That'd be 2+1=3
b) I made the playoffs in my first run in D2. I went to the finals (and lost) in my second run.
c) I suggest you check the payroll expenditure as when I promoted from D3 I was bottom half in the league. Last season I had the 4th lowest payroll in my league.

Good thing you're not a math student.

"In season 26, Stinkilemons were crowned champions of league England III.2
In season 26, Stinkilemons were one of the final 128 teams in the England Tournament
In season 25, Stinkilemons made the playoffs in league England III.2
In season 25, Stinkilemons were one of the final 64 teams in the England Tournament
In season 24, Stinkilemons made the playoffs in league England III.2
In season 24, Stinkilemons were one of the final 512 teams in the England Tournament
In season 23, Stinkilemons won the relegation series to stay in league England III.2"

23 ... 24 ... 25 ... 26 ... in most developed countries, probably even in England, that is four seasons ... or maybe they publish your record incorrectly.

I feel for you about low payroll, though. I have made it so far with an arena that is far, far smaller than any in the league I am in now. Most of the arenas are at least double the size of ours, so we are in effect a small market team making our way among much larger market teams. This season will be arena-season, not championship-season. TTFN.

Good point!

Yes, it´s good idea to let them play one match (why should they bought them if not to use them?).

Too in HT. If you buy a player you can´t sell him and get 100% selling fee, it´s takes time. For example player you bought 7 days ago mean that if you sell him after 7 days you get 86.38% of the selling fee. Very good rule and may be better than tax for selling beccause it´s more fair.

One important thing are here to have in mind. We are only talking about exactly the player you bought= If you buy John Smith you buy his salary same day as you bought him so you pay always one week salary no matter when in the week you buy him. Too, if you decide to sell him after one week you get 86% and then more and more of the salary fee after how much longer he stay til you keeo 97%.
But, this is only question of John Smith. You can buy or sell as many players in normal way, each of them have this personal rule.

In sokker: "I believe Sokker.org has a similar system and doesn't charge you just for listing (I may be mistaken on this though)."

Sokker charge you always, and actually heavy, each time you sell. If you put on almost 0 you don´t pay but if you want some reasonable minium floor the charge you.

In my opinion the system in HT have worked very well.
