Plan to mitigate somewhat by banking training XP until they are of the age they can contribute then train them as a lot of folks seem to be doing. We will see if that works. Also, the continued focus on loyal players. May need to sell my 2 STs soon as well. I will also likely switch to 2 staff in YC to start since the focus will be on them vs. existing players. It will be interesting to see if this pays off, but after many seasons with YA4/FA4 wanted to switch it up to see if it can get me an International Championship which has proved elusive. Figured it may make sense to build when most are downgrading to stand out a little.
Numpty did an analysis awhile back in the forums where the majority of top 100 ranked teams in popularity were FA4/YA5. I looked at this again the other day and very few are now. Guessing the wage bill came due for most and the price of YA5 players dropped. To your point, there will be a lot of challenges managing the bankroll.
