Death of the FML Awaits

Ohhhh I do like being a drama queen!

Been thinking about the economy, it's going to explode unless something is done.

I hear the Miller economy has finally slowed but bear in mind the activity is half that of retail worlds, with a mature draft system the player database doubles in size and the wage modifiers are kicked in..... AND they had only four FA's think it might be five now.

Retail we have double the number of managers, have six FA's (two extra Premier Leagues), less players and won't see wage modifiers until season six. BOOOOOOM!

So I'm expecting that inflation will get much much worse. This is very bad I've heard some managers claim Inflation isn't bad but that's nonsense.

I'm sure some are reading this thinking 'omg he's off again predicting doom and gloom' two choices:-
  1. Listen and try and get SI to do something.
  2. Hope that I'm wrong.

I have to agree.
I never thought the inflation will be this bad, that quick.
I thought SI were trying to do the exact opposite, but made the economy in the 1st few seasons much worse, especially with the stupid wages for the unlocked players.

I'm not entirely sure that large inflation is really a problem.

What are the main issues you see with it?

Yikes T bag that's another post.

Inflation killed the first batch of GW's!

1) £500k on your first day in a GW in Season 5 is worth less than it was Season 1.
2) Prize money loses importance
3) Saving an increasingly worthless currency isn't advisable.
4) Stadium building isn't as potent, your generating a worthless currency
5) In Season One saving say £1m is viable in season 5 it isn't.
6) Mass frustration in that you feel your not getting anywhere
7) Traders have skewed advantage.
8) Wage auctions more viable (any deal that beats inflation).

why won't the wage modifiers kick in until season 6? I thought they would start to kick in once team reputations are high enough - say season 4 with some 12-14 rep teams?

Hi Dave,

There is a lag on them, so first couple of seasons will be free of modifiers.

I assuming that until season 5 we won't see many rep 13+ teams. It's not until season 6 that rep 20 would be possible and then takes a few seasons players playing at that level for the modifiers to kick in.

They still will work but the full whack won't be there.
