What have you learned from last season?
I realized the trend that cash balance gradually reduces. After further checking prizes for CL & cup today, I notice that the prize money for L9 & L17 are similar. For L9 team, they're still good. For L17, CL may still be a profitable competition with low or nil bonus, but Cup is not worth to challenge financially.
I always think the cost for building arena is too high. With current ticket prize (but ticket actually will gradually increase), many years are required to cover the cost. However, if my L17 team does not upgrade it now, it may never has sufficient cash again.
Edit:
I think it is almost impossible to survive in long term without investment. My L17 performed very well last but it still cannot defeat a team which likely invested before (average quality almost 6* and full of players with special ability) but no major further investment. It will be harder and harder to compete with them as the daily loss problem is enlarging.
Where did you place last season?
L16 - League 2nd
L8 - League 1st, CL 1st
What's your current level?
L17 & L9
What's your budget for this season?
L17 - 300M (but most of these may be used for upgrading arena)
L9 - 60M
Who do you want to replace?
L17 - old players
L9 - midfielder and wing players
What are your goals for this season?
Quit the game is a now possible option. But the goals I planned before are:
L17 - upgrade the arena to provide long term income, reduce transfer activities and save some tokens, keep a young team which is still competitive, challenge for top 4 in league, top 8 in CL, give up Cup.
Edit:
I cancel the plan for building arena or give up the team now. I will put the cash on new players, aim for short term success and final run for champion. Then I likely will give up.
But maybe I will give up if the progress is not good.
L9 - treble
