Happy to be back up to D.III! It looks like the forums here are fairly active, which is good.
As for "cash grab mode", only one of those players is up for a legitimate sell. The rest are really just posting my players at the high end of their price range to see if I can get a lucky bite. I generally expect to keep the majority of these players. If one sells, I'll likely just replace him with a fairly equivalent player.
I'm excited to see how this season pans out! It'll be fun to play against Mighty Spartans again, after playing them across divisions in seasons 33-35.
Good luck this season everyone!
