I've seen plenty of new teams who immediately hit the transfer market and buy 1 or 2 players with wages that they can't really afford, I'm sure most managers did something similar at the beginning of their careers ( I know that I did), however check out this team(see link below) ..... I think he's on his way to Botdom super quick, those wages are even higher than some teams in the Top Div, unbelievable !

p.s. - check some of the transfer fees too, pretty steep for a 5-day old team.

edit - just checked, this team has the 9th highest average wages in the whole game .... that's some going in the space of just 5 days



Gone Bot (surprise,surprise...not !) ... so, from zero to 'hero' to zero in 13 days ... not bad !
The chinese teams are certainly making an impact in GI, if it's not their teams with crazy wages then it's their *cough* optimistic *cough* talent ratings in the transfer ads, don't mean to tar all the nation with the same brush but... what's that old saying ...if the cap fits, wear it ...


That ain't really a surprise is it!? I guess that was quite predictable!

I put forth a suggestion a long time ago that would solve this problem entirely(and peter has taken it and used it in his game to much success(at least I like to think he got the idea from me.. ) but there doesn't seem to be much of a concern about it, I just want whats best for the game so if I'm in the minority, it's whatever. It's also very easy to cheat by ditching players too expensive to keep doing this..

True, I watched an English team do that this past season and win his division. I do not think his strategy is sustaniable in the higher divisons (chemistery pbm). But Div 4 or 5 it can work. In the end though it just sets you up for failure.

Hate to say it, but looks like he was just giving his start up money to that one team from the same region. Very odd, either way

The player he bought five players from sold a total of nine players that day. End of season roster clearing. I think the only bad thing going on here was one bad rookie. Who knows, he might be back in a few days with a new team and if so, hopefully a little wiser.

Could be random or just buying s.os' cleaned out players or not.

Worst thing is that often when teams buy all these great players and go BOT, the great players that are on National Teams get no decent training until they are shipped to the transfer market. And until the National Coach can reselect players the National Team has to play with a +++BOT+++ player...

But I think the game is working as intended. If you think you can strike gold from day one... you will fail.

I noticed that and wondered if he was doing that, but then I had another idea ... I noticed that he bought ridiculously high-waged players, but he also seemed to have a roster size that was about roster minimum ... so I think he fired his low-waged starters whilst buying the imported players .... this meant that when/if it entered his head that he needed to fire the expensive players he couldn't as he was almost at roster minimum .

I've just counted, he has 19 players and I think roster minimum is 18, means that even if he wanted to he could only fire one expensive player.
Obviously he could have sold the players, but that would take time and I'm not sure who would buy them (a similar fool like himself probably).

But there are 2 other explanations ...he didn't care about the high wages, probably thought that the bot warning he got was a bluff .... or maybe there was something dodgy going on and that team was just a front for some money transfer .... if it was then it was committed in the most public way possible because you can't help but draw attention to yourself when you become the 9th highest average wage in the whole of GI within just 5 days .... if you're breaking records in GI, especially the wrong type of records, people are going to notice and people are going to comment ..... I still think there's no smoke without fire ! i.e. Dodgy !
