How am I suposed to financially stay above water, when the majority of my players are costing me about 10k per week in wages.
Last year, my average wage bill was around 300,000, this year its over 700,000.
Im having to sell some of my best players just to survive. I make less than 1,000,000 at my home games, so when im not playing at home, im falling under the -400,000 mark, and getting bankrupsy warnings.
I cant understand why so many of my players have more than doubled their wages. Im gona have to start pimping out my cheerleaders at this rate!

You should get yourself a bigger stadium. The default attendance is 54,000 in Division II, so you should at least have a stadium of 40,000 in my opinion.

Part of this game is to balance the finances as well as the success on the field.

You have been around for over a year now, we all know that as you train players up, there wages increase.. part of the game is balancing the finances... increase your stadium if you are not making enough money...

If i was a skeptical person i would think you were trying to get people to look at the "best" players that your selling lol

I cant afford to increase my stadium capacity at the moment. Im hoping to catch a break soon, but im still only at about 15,000 seats so its gonna take ages.

Im advertising my players in the appropriate place, this thread was mearly to have a moan about my outgoings doubling in the last few weeks.
I didnt realise about the average stadium size for my division, thanks for the info.

This is from the FAQ and you can see that your attendance will be influenced by a few factors.

3. Tickets & Attendance
Ticket price for official matches
* VIP tickets cost $ 110 each
* Executive box cost $ 60 each
* General ticket cost $ 20 each
Tickets for friendly matches cost 50% less (so $ 55, $30 and $ 10)

Attendance
Attendance is calculated by using the basic attendance (60.000) and manipulating that number by different factors that effect the willingness of spectators to come and see the game:
- League level
The basic attendance is lowered by 6.000 for each level below the first; 54.000 for second level, 48.000 for third, 42.000 for fourth, and so on until the basic attendance is 6.000. The basic attendance stays 6.000 after the tenth level.
- Team Form
Team form plays a big factor in the minds of the spectators. They are much more willing to come and root for their team if the team has a good league run and less willing to come when the team hits a bad streak.
- Team Postion
For every position above the last a team gets 1% more attendance. (For Example: a Team that is fifth will get 5% more attendance - calculated with the basic attendance, not the attendance modified by the team form or weather)
- Weather
Weather can make a big difference when it comes to attendance. If it's sunny then the crowds are more willing to go and see the match. If the weather is bad then the people tend to stay at home rather than go to the game.

Friendlies against some of the bigger teams will help, those teams on a good winning streak will give you more friendly cash

+ you're probably training your players monoskill. If you train different skills, the wage will be less high, but the performance will be equally good.
