thanks for the info, at what salary point is a good time to replace them?

Those staff look fine. The trainer's salary is a little high, but I often overpay them too because they can be cheaper on the staff list (I hope you didn't pay more than 100k for that one). Superior is a fine level if all your trainees are Perrenial Allstars or better, otherwise Advanced makes more sense. Some would say Advanced is better either way, but I like Superior trainers (and Exceptional if you can find a low salary one for cheap, but those are very rare; also need to have an NT level prospect).

An Exceptional doctor might be a little high of a level, but if you have some key players that you can't afford to lose (or a very promissing trainee that you don't want to miss training) then exceptional could make sense. I use a Superior one, but the salary is about the same.

As far as PR guy goes, you definitely want one with a specialty, so what you have now is fine. Personally, I like National Appeal, but Crowd Involvement could be good if you are struggling and want to get an extra boost at home to win enough games to avoid relegation.

thanks for the reply

im brand new so i just took what i thought was good, i do have two perenial allstars that im training

i took that doctor because he seemed cheap (i think i paid 25k for him) salary was 18k when i got him

my PR maanger i got for 50k i think i cant remember, salary was 11k when i got him

i think i paid about 120k for my trainer, but this is my first season and as i understand it the starting pay was high because of utopia so i just had to get someone at the time, his salary was 31k when i got him

anyways what im asking is at what price point should i buy new coaches, when my trainer get to 40k should i start looking for a replacement, at what price point should i look for replacements for my doc and my pr manager

When to replace staff is not a question anyone can really answer for you. A lot of it depends upon the salaries you are currently paying, the salary of the new staff you would be hiring and the price you will have to pay to win the bid on the new staff. For doctors and PR, assuming you will be looking for new guy with a salary similar to what the current guy started at, I generally find that replacing a person when their initial salary has doubled is reasonable. For trainers, because bidding on trainers can go a lot higher, it can make sense to wait until the salary has tripled, quadrupled, or even quintupled. If you have to pay $500k to win a bid for a new guy, it doesn't make sense to do that to only save $5 or $10k per week, as it will take a long time before that weekly savings actual makes up for what you bid.

thanks, thats what i wanted to know

thanks for the info, when i was looking for a doctor the level 3 was about 12k, and the level 4 was about 16k, so i just said why not get the level 5 doc who was at 18k when i got him

I think your staff is way too expensive for the division you play in .
My salary for staff is 70k ,(a lvl 6 trainer, 4 doctor 5 PR manager),and I play in D1,you need cut down on salary I think.

You still have lots of things to do,like expanding your arena ,and to do that you need a lot of money.
My advice change your staff into a lvl 4 trainer and lvl 3 doctor/ PR manager,so you can save some money
because you gonna need it:)
Try to keep salary for your staff below 30k at all times..

because of utopia prices are higher for all staff, i was scouting staff for a couple of weeks before i got these guys, my trainer is a 4, my pr manager is a 3 and taking my doc from a 5 to level 3 will cost me a one time fee of about 40k (20k for the bonus and 20k for his salary) and save me about 8k a week

i think you should expand your arena and just deal with 1/2 trainers . once you get a good amount of seats then you do pr trainer.. It no point in doing 3 trainers leave one to the lowest level. same some revenue

Only two that should matter for you right now is pr manager and physical trainer. Build your arena around that. Basic doctor is good for long time. no need to waste funds on a over priced doctor. Unless your in a tough league.

You are paying far too much for a doctor. I just joined the game myself about 3 seasons ago, and I found staff is the biggest drain on your finances with only a small gain. I don't train, so I can't talk on the trainer. But even with a minimal doctor ($2,000) or basic with a specialty (approx $5000/week) your team should be ok with injuries, unless particularly unlucky. Plus, you are 3-8 right now and shouldn't be all that concerned with losing a guy to injury other than losing training time. By paying $20,000 + per week, rather than around 5,000, you are basically throwing away $165,000 dollars per season just to prevent a longer term injury that isn't even going to matter all that much to you. Even when/if you do start winning next year or in the future, you need to weigh the cost of that of all that money going to a doctor vs. just buying a replacement player off the transfer market for that short period to replace your injured guy, and then re selling him when your guy gets back. Or doing nothing and just sticking it out with your bench guys. If you are so concerned about the game screwing you in the playoffs, you can buy that expensive doctor just before playoff time, and still save a ton of money over just paying an expensive doctor year round.

Just my opinion and observations from playing the game.
