probably 170M-180M on general and 2 donuts on media plus a hot coffee

A lot more. Im happy.

This season going to continue build facilities.

yeah... I'd bet that my rejected 3 star media offer was almost double whatever his media deal is.

That said, I likely won't come close to touching his general sponsorship money next season (or ever, from now on lol).

Even if you will get 10M more than me on the media, i will still have 100M more on the general.

Oh to win the SA lottery eh lanky

Yeah... I'm sure you're getting over $15M per week from your general sponsor. *rolls eyes* Keep on laughing it up in fantasy land, Chuckles.

I gave you credit for getting a better general than I got, but I won't give you THAT much credit.

Its not 15M a week. But close enough.

Hahaha. yeah. But his team isn't untouchable yet. WasUpNerd for instance has a better team than Outsider right now if you ask me. His top 7 players are AvOR of 398.86 compared to Outsider's 380.43. And he wasn't even in division 1 this season.

Granted WasUpNerd's facilities don't really come close to comparing, but still, he's shown skill with arbitraging the market and has a nack for DRASTICALLY improving his team for literally ZERO cost (until his purchase of Cory Walsh yesterday), which definitely counts for something.

Consider the following:

NEED:
At this point, in order to make money, Outsider must continue to win games (so he can get superior general sponsorship money and prize money).

Since he's not planning on arena upgrades any time soon, his GS will be his ONLY substantial source of income (unless he resorts to selling more than just his throwaways).

REQUIREMENT to meet NEED:
To keep winning games, he must continue to draw good players from the SA and/or keep his TF superior to peers.

Given that the draft (where he'll have to compete for the best players) will be every other week next season, it will be much more difficult for him to consistently get superior SA pulls compared to the rest of division 1.

He currently has a leg up on many teams when it comes to TF construction, but in many cases, other said teams are only a few weeks behind him (which isn't significant when upgrades start taking an entire season).

X-FACTOR(S):
- The more good teams there are in division 1 (next year will probably be the most competitive yet for the division), the harder winning will be, and in turn, the harder managing his finances will be.

- He's got one of the highest facility costs in the U.S. and will soon (if he doesn't already) have one of the highest staff costs as well.

-------------

Consider that the facility expense of a lvl 13 Training Facility is 65% more than a lvl 12 Training facility. A lvl 13 TF costs roughly $28M per season (maintenance reductions excluded) compared to $17M for a lvl 12. And that's just one facility.

His general sponsorship contract (as his sole source of income) must then increase substantially each season just to keep up with his growth in expenses.

So the way I'm looking at it, Outsider NEEDS to be making (his laughable) $100M more than everyone else in general sponsorship money just to be breaking even with the added expenses he's planning on taking on.

I'm not really that worried.

Speaking of Cory Walsh ; Fábián Lovas got injured so I needed someone. And I was thinking about a replacement for János Mátyus anyways. Even though Cory Walsh has energy at 71 he still scored 9 goals and had 4 asists in the last friendly. I currently refreshing my team Cory Walsh has amazing Q's. Btw I sold this guy for 15m postimg.org/image/uwmlih6... . Lanky you have a good strong team, but not strong enough ( u r promoting this season though )

I wrote out a long reply that calculated the effect of the arena, but I got logged out when I tried to publish it.

In any case, I calculated that I will make about $58,000,000 more per season than Outsider between ticket sales and the media sponsor. With a second completed triple, I would probably make more overall.

Also, I mentioned that while Outsider and a few others have been lucky, this can at least partly (in terms of pulling higher OR prospects) be explained by having better sports managers. In the other sports, when I run camps and have a different sports manager for youth training, the average OR of my pulls tends to drop by 50-100 OR for a week

It's probably better to focus more on the arena, but a mixed strategy (between the arena, facilities, and maybe players) might still be best (to get good general sponsors while not neglecting the arena).

need to remind that tickets are also source of revenue that teams with lower arena wont get...

It is highly unlikely he will earn 100M on general than yours. that would put at the 220M/season or about 14M/week.

He may earn that if he chooses to finish in 1st and make that happen on all 5 occasions.

his general is probably 12 to 13M range. so 192 to 208. that would put 72 to 88M more than you.

His media should be around 1M/week. you should be able to earn 20M more than him. so the difference now would be 52 to 68M.

then there is the tickets ... you should be able to make 25M more than him. So now the difference is 27M to 43M

Not bad Id say. He is still in much better shape than you though because his SA can possible provide him great pulls. Granted, as you mentioned, the draft thing if done every other week will limit his quality pulls drastically.

These were my calculations:

(1-1600/4250)*(26+16*3/8+(6/2-1)+(6-1))*1,700+1,000,000*16=$58.4 million

I assumed 6 national cup games and 6 home playoff games (2 series will go to 3 games) and subtracted 2 for the exhibition games that will be replaced. I rounded the number of games from 39 to 40.

My Media sponsor plus Tickets sell will be more than most D2 teams general sponsor ... And that even include your team.

And I may build another triple or 2 this season. have not made my plans yet
