I have about 700k saved up and after tomorrow will be making about 40k per week. But I don't know what to spend my money on? I could:

A. Invest immediately in my arena
- if so, where and how many?
B. Keep saving this season and invest in the off season.
-if so, where and how many?
C. Buy a young stud to help build around

I'm thinking I would like to invest in my arena, but I'm not even filling it up half way at the moment.

I see you badly manage your gameshape so probably you don't keep ent, right?

So probably you don't win your legue in this season - you are safe too due too weak 6,7,8 places teams in your conference.
If you want invest in arena maybe few luxury VIPs places but not more.

If I were you i choose to keep my money and buy 1-2 better players during play-off say - 20k-30k not more. Then in next season keep good form (very importent) and manage good your ent - mostly TiE and you should win your legue. With rest money you could buy better players when you be in III ligue

Actually, my enthusiasm is 10. Second, enthusiasm has nothing to do with stamina. Stamina is based on number of minutes played. So maybe you assume jus a lil to much(; And I'm kind of in a rebuilding mode and can't afford 2 more 30k players when factoring in my trainee's salary bump next season.

Heh i know that there is no direct connection between gameshape and ent - but usually if menager don't care about stamina he don't care about ent too. If you have bad stamina from good reason - i'm sorry for generalise.

Ok so if you training "kids" you probably will have enough good team to compete in next season. Your arena is very good too (if you want you can expand more expensive places - bleachers are ok). And my conclusion is - keep your money until you will be in need to buy better players (after promotion or too force promotion if your trainee's doesn't give you as much as you think)

Sorry for my english
Good Luck!

at term stamina u mean game shape?

If you want to get serious about your economics I have some suggestions:
1) Keep Bello. Long-term he could be an asset to your team and you drafted him. At 6-9 you can train him for inside or outside.
2) Drop Cortés. Removing his salary will save 18,000/wk.
3) Buy an old player replacement for Cortes around 10,000/wk.

This will leave you with around $100,000 in salaries.

Improve boxes. Build 5 more. (80,000) Set price to 600.
Improve Court. Build 100 more. (200,000) Set price to 70.
Lower Set price to 27.
Bleacher. Set price to 6.

You should be able to have a stable attendance for these even if your record isn't that great. You should obviously reduce your prices for all for seating arrangements. This will net you around $120,000 per week.

Selling Cortes and improving your arena should improve your income by 20,000 a week.

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

As for next season. See where you stand from a player perspective. You should be able to go for a title. Buy a starter or two during the offseason (mostly older players). Save some cash for adding players during mid-season if needed. Your training exemption should help you save money when going for the title shot.

As Oxygenum stated, albeit rather confusingly, you HAVE to manage GS (since you cant manage stamina other than training) better bud. Having been in your league and a witness as you made 3 straight Finals appearances, I know you can. I don't know what's going on currently but it isn't as big of an issue as others make it out when your not attempting to compete. If you are training with no risk of demotion then screw GS but if/when you push for promotion again you have to focus on it and I'd suggest practicing in the mean time. :)

As Lawrenman stated, keep Bello. I'll amend that though and say IF AND ONLY IF you are going to train him. It appears he's gotten zero training since drafting him and that's a pure waste. Get what you can for him or incorporate him into your training. On this point I agree with lawrenman.

I highly disagree with him about Cortes though. You can easily make a team 7-8 deep with 20k-ish players and promote out of D.IV. Cortes isn't impressive offensively (barely 38%) but he shoots well on assisted shots so just make sure you get a passer and he'll keep you afloat. More importantly, he's only given up 2/17 shots all season. Lawrenman is delusional if he thinks you'll find a 10k player that wont absolutely suck offensively that can defend that well for you. Play him off the bench in a 3-bigman rotation and his lack of offense won't matter much but you also won't lose leads you've generated when he comes into the game.

Improve boxes. Build 5 more. (80,000) Set price to 600.
Improve Court. Build 100 more. (200,000) Set price to 70.
Lower Set price to 27.
Bleacher. Set price to 6.

Pretty much agree with this one across the board.

Of course I mean gamshape insteed stamina In my country is 1h30 after midnight so i'm sorry

I agree with Manon. I had the plan to build my arena when I promoted to DIII (from about 11k at promotion) and after everything went wrong (drawing 3 home games in the promo bonus period, injuries galore and pretty much getting out managed) I demoted back to DIV in worse condition.

I would suggest having your arena close to what you'd like to have for DIII (around 15k is a good target) and then find starter quality players for DIII while you are trying to promote.

Invest almost completely in arena , and use the BuzzerManager program to help tell u what to build , how many and what price. Start setting your scouting points to 10000 per week and keep doing that until u reach 35 points. You'll end up having a badass arena and some solid talent to draft. Whatever you have left spend on filling your roster.
If you do this , I'm almost positive you'll have a completely flawless start.
