Im not into the whole training thing right now, I will just get rid of those players and use my money on all of my arena this season while managing game shape and enthusiasm. This will mean buy the time my arena is done being built I will be making 300k per week and that doesnt even include the other expansions I will start on my arena. I will keep expanding my arena until I have around a 20k arena then I would like to start saving money , training players and try to compete in the B3. Sound good to me ! :)

Btw : If I decide to actually compete for B3 I was wondering If I should buy like 2 or 3 good trainees around ( around 50k salaries or above ) 22 or 23 with MVP potential or more and train them that one season into what I need them to be fore backups then buy 5 Good starters Or how should I go abou trying to win B3 ?

B3 is for the best of the best.

First things first, learn how to train and build a good team. Then maybe in a few years, you'll be ready to build a team for the B3

Why would you not train? You have no competition so you could easily train 3 guys and then whatever. Either use them or sell them. It wouldn't change the rest of your strategy in any way.

I chose not to train because of the financial benefits.

1. My scrub team brings me a lot of merchandise. It started with 24k in the opening week, currently up to 37k. If I buy people, especially the foreign ones, it may go down.

2. Trainer is expensive. I just bought a cheap competent one, because I had an 19 yo MVP with the starting team.

3. I have been building arena all along, with the 7 day updates, timed to finish before home games. If I had taken a trainee, or 3 of them, I would have to spend money. And how much could I resell them anyway?

All in all, I don't think it would be financially beneficial to have trainees. At least not extremely beneficial. Maybe next year, when I have to start paying the salary floor.

I am now considering training but if I do , I wanna build 3 good post players.

Have you invested any points into drafting?

Considering your one of a few active teams in your country, you'll have a high chance of getting someone good. Especially this season since your near the bottom of the league!

Nope, just hoping and praying I can get a draftee worth something so I can have smoeone to train next season. This is the ideal prospect im looking for ..

Age : 18
Potential: MVP
Salary: 4k
Position: Center ( atleast mediocre in every skill )
Height: 6'8

I dont know why but I like to have 6'8 players playing Center but that was just a dream draftee. Btw I think I will start Investing in it ( once my arena is done building )since I will still make over 200k per week even if I scout 4 points per week.

Just start investing 10k a week for 2 pts a week. By the end of the season, you'll have enough to do a group combine and you never know your luck.

If I were in your shoes, in a league with only 4-5 active owners but that kind of earning potential, I would:

--Put max money into the draft for the rest of the season. Getting any decent trainee is almost assuredly going to result in being able to develop him into a NT player. There are 20K players on your NT right now, so you should be able to turn any trainee with decent potential into a U21 and then NT player, and that will really be good for your merchandise, too.

--Buy a couple trainees of any nation now, because you can benefit from improving players with the training and selling them later if you want to. You should make a profit if you make them better. And it will teach you how to manage training and minutes.

--Use the rest of the season to learn how to manage Game Shape and Enthusiasm and do just enough to avoid relegation (if that even happens in your country with so few users).

--Read the forums, ask questions and get involved with the few people active in your country to start building up the NT. Get some friends playing and get rid of those bots, and you have all the benefits of being in the top division without having to work to get there. Could be pretty fun.

This is my plan for my team ...Now to get down to business, im in BB's smallest Micronation with only 1 team to truly compete against. I can Invest all my money into my arena and go 21-1 each season. Im currently making 210k per week meaning once my arena is done being built I can start making over 300k until I have to pay floor slary but by that time I would have expanded my arena to atleast 10k or 12k which means I could buy a team to cover my floor salary so I wont be waisting money AND Im still making 300k or more a weekfrom my 10k or 12k arena . Then I will continue after that expanding my arena to around 25k seats then I will save up my money for one whole season and not buy anything then I will buy a team and try to win the B3. After I win the B3 I will sell my roster and just play around with the game , maybe train 2 or 3 players for the NT and U21 and just experiment maybe even build my arena to 35k It just depends on how much money I am making or How long it takes me to win ...

That all sounds great.

But don't forget training is free. You get to do it anyway. Why not be developing someone who will boost your earnings in the near and long-term?
