Because of all the new users this season, players seem to be selling for much more.
I just saw a competent 19yo bowler go for 175k. :blink: Admittedly he had competent consistency as well, but still...

And a 26yo competent batsmen is currently on 186k...

I don't get it, some managers bid over 100k for players you can just get for 1k if you look enough.

I just got this guy for 1,000. Can't believe no-one else bid:

Anton Gooch - 17 yo, BT Rating=1,662
LH Batsman, LFM Bowler, respectable form, Healthy
A cautious player with competent leadership skills and worthless experience.
Stamina: woeful Wicket Keeping: abysmal
Batting: feeble Concentration: feeble
Bowling: woeful Consistency: mediocre
Fielding: feeble

With that BT rating he's probably not very close to popping up to the next level in the various skills, but still...

By the way what sort of percentage increase do you get for PR officers, I only have 1 at the moment and I'm getting nearly 7k in sponsors a week. Would an extra PR officer increase that by say 70-80%?

Last week I got 23k with three sponsors. That was with sponsors' confidence at 'ecstatic'. The sponsors' confidence resets at the end of the season, so my income from sponsors this week is about 17k. It's definitely worth getting another one or two, given that they only cost 1.5k/wk.

Hired another 2, will see what happens when the finances update. If it goes up by 10k or thereabouts I'll probably hire at least 1 more. I should have really just hired an extra one at a time and tried to figure out how the increases work. If it works on something like the next PR being worth 0.85 times the last one then it's worth getting 10 of them for example.
