That's a tough call but at least you didn't wait too long and can now cash in on that D2 money while running the salary floor for the rest of the season.
Side note: I am skeptical the popular All-American strategy is as beneficial as people believe... Is the weekly merch bonus (25-40K at D2) worth the increased transfer prices of Americans and limiting yourself to only 1-3% of available players? I don't know exactly how much more Americans cost on the TL but it feels higher, especially for trainees. I'm not saying the strategy doesn't have its benefits because it does, but I feel like people don't account enough for the downside of all-American teams
