I would suggest that you fire or sell any players over $5000 per week approx and wait until you've developed the stadium (all VIP seats finished first) before thinking about players with higher wages. You can pick up cheap but useful players from the transfer market but you have to look at the players wages first. It doesn't take long to go bankrupt, but if you are patient you can develop a good team without big wages to start with. Evaluate your lower wage players - any with good intelligence (16+) and reasonable consistency can form the backbone of your team. Your QB needs high intelligence and consistency. Once you've found a player like it, play him at QB all the time so that his BPOS (rating) maxes - this will take a long time so be prepared to lose before you win. Run against bot teams, pass against other players and get your training level at medium to avoid your players being too tired to play well. If you think this advice is useful and want more, message me and I'll give you an honest opinion. I hope you enjoy the game but you will need to sort the high wage players to have any chance of being around for the long haul.

1350 Vip seats = $148,500 cash.
PLus your 1000 regular seats = $20,000 cash.
Plus sponsor = $70,000.
Plus friendly income = $60,000- $200,000 depending on where you play.
Plus game sponsors per week = $24,000.
Plus winning bonus for league games = $Only you'll know this one.

I think you are fine with wages of $104,000 p/w.

But to you own calculations, and work in fortnights, as your economy normally goes up 1 week with a home game, and down 1 week with an away game.

As long as it is above $0 for a 2 week period, you should be set.
