You don’t have to worry about doing anything to your roster to reduce payroll or increase profitability. And you don’t have any really old or overpaid players. I wouldn’t worry about it. Learn your roster, get a feel for who you want to keep around to grow your team and who you don’t plan on keeping. Work the waivers in the offseason and build up your system. Keep your fingers crossed for next seasons draft. In the off-season, consider dropping your stadium seating by a couple thousand to reduce cost, and consider tweaking your fences and field based on what your team might look like. You’ll be making money hand over fist next season with your current financial situation. |

You may not turn a profit this season due to us being at the 8th update, but as wickersty said, you should turn a profit next season, and may even cut into your deficit this season if you have many home games left. | ||

wickersty Joined: 05/11/2017 Posts: 1002 Deadwood Perambulators II.1 | I guess you learn something new here all the time. I had no idea that there were franchising fees through the higher league levels. That seems like a big deal that I'll have to plan for in addition to my player salaries as I (hopefully) promote through the seasons. Jeff |

Even higher (I forget exactly how much) at Legends. 18.5 million in Legends. It is virtually impossible to turn a profit in Legends without doing a complete re-build, or having a small enough bank account to not pay taxes. By the time you make it to Legends finances are very low on your priority list for most owners though. |
