Thats right but the market was dead. Now there should be more bidding on other players to make your team better. Most owner just buy players if they have no other choice or if they can get one player very cheap.

For me it is:

I had to buy all of my better players from the market. I didn't find good youth pulls, only not so good youth pulls.

yep, more management skills needed. That was the goal as I understood right

my league - in my first season, has a very competitive 4 sides.

I have had one good youth pull - a 1.5 star qb with 4 star talent (and thus hopefully some good potential therefore). It just seems as a new player i am reading very conflicting views. Most people are saying we shouldn't go into the transfer market and should nurture our young talent, yet then i find this news on youth pulls because we arn't spending money.

The reason i see for the market being dead is because money has become less readily available - therefore players are being less care free with there money!!

Just like Mike Shula.

Although Saban did pretty soon.

I've had a few good youth players who are now either starting or provide quality depth for me. Really that's what it's there for. It's not meant to get you immediate starters. It's meant to help you build for the future and give you players that, if trained correctly, could start in 3 or 4 years.
