the key is not to buy players. BB is not a sprint, it's a marathon. You need to train players and build your arena accordingly in order to win in this game. Trust me, I was in the same situation as you. When I started I splurged my cash on oldies and was already in a hole. What I did was sell the players and I used that cash to build an arena. Since then it has helped me a lot as now I have a 12k arena and a team with young stars and a couple a vets that could be good role players.
My advice is for you to either train Ward Werner and have Scott Yost and Casey McNally come in training also with Werner.
the guys you have atm could be very good pieces to other teams come playoff time. So first I would sell that 66k Center you have and then move on from there selling all the other 10k+ players and 30+ year old players on your roster before the playoff deadline. You could make good money off of them (I think maybe 250k if you try hard enough) Keep Islam because he is young and your star of the team. After that once you know what seats in your arena you have to build, build em! And then your hopefully on a good track to be rising up the divisions.
just my 2 cents.

hope you take this advice. I don't want your team to be stuck in D5/D4 forever, I'm only trying to make your team better for the future
