Offseason Moves

*I have $26,924 and 70 glory (shields).

*I spend my extra glory (shields) on upgrading my defender coach two more levels. This means my defenders will get 70% extra experience after each match, in addition to the 30% bonus some of them already have. It made sense to max this out instead of spreading it around, because I'm running 5 defenders.

*I renew Venegas for 2 years, $847

*I renew backup Forward Mckenna for 1 yr, $138

*Atkins wants $9719 to renew for another year. He has 8 months left and is 32. I may have to sell him, but I have no one to replace him yet, so will wait to decide.

*It is time to sell another defender. Canales is very good (49 defense) and has a very useful Slide Tackle skill. But he's 30 yrs old and is valued at $96,900.

*To replace him, I buy Edmonds, a 28 yr old Amateur defender with a 37 Def rating for $2,140.

*Our youth pull is a worthless lvl 3 player.

*I extend Lance for 2 yrs, $16,648. No choice here with limited options in the midfield. He will soon learn the slide tackle skill, which will be huge.

*I extend Jennings for 1 yr, $249.

*Mcgill and Barajas will retire in 2 months.

*I extend my 17 yr old, Higginbotham, for 2 yrs, $142.

*I spend $70,000 to upgrade my youth academy. This means that all youth pulls will now be from lvl 5-15.

*I spend $15,000 to upgrade my stadium to 500 seats. I now have 140 supporters, so the 100 seat stadium wasn't enough.

*This leaves me with $20,602 left. That's enough to renew Atkins for another year if I decide to do it later.

*Seymour is also due for a renewal in 8 months. I will more likely sell him, but again need to find a replacement first.
