If trophy counts via actual winning (to keep a long winning run going, not tanking), then a manager actually does not have to sell an entire team but just the supporting casts. The defining key is to regularly keep a set number of main players for the draw, so that a relatively manageable draw is achieved while the seasonal turnover of other supporting squad players are also kept to a minimum to fit around those regular T-income from sponsor, association and winning events.
The fine balance in keeping a significant enough quality advantage between main players vs opponent’s best, the resources needed to refresh the supporting casts and also the number of able yet not too T-expensive subs for greens savings is a delicate one.
