The Squirrels' rebuilding timeline has been moved an additional 2-3 seasons out. We should be competitive sometime around season 20. Until then, enjoy your easy wins vs our arboreal rodents.

Hi Roger,

Thank you for these helpful tips. I would be happy to discuss other strategies away from the prying ears of the league.

Cheers,

Brian

Hi Brian,

The Pekin Treasury Management Strategy's top tips would be:

• Always max out your media bonus.  The game is way more fun that way but, even if you can't think of anything witty or insightful to say, you can aimlessly hit return a few times like I just did "accidentally". Over the course of a season that's worth around 500 RP.
• Don't bid for too many players.  It takes 50 RP to get to Stage 3 for a 5*.  If you do that 10 times a season, that's another 500 RP, plus whatever you spend on winning bids.
• Don't waste RP on benchwarmers.  I was dead chuffed in S10 when I won a 3* at auction for just over the minimum (plus the 30 RP I had to spend to get to Stage 3 of the recruitment process).  I then didn't play him or coach him for his entire career.  If I'd just taken a 1* walk on I could have saved myself around 150 RP on that one transaction alone.  If you take a look at Pekin's recruitment page, you'll see that I love a 1* walk on.

I can DM you some other thoughts around recruitment strategy if it would be helpful. They're a bit too long winded (and controversial) for a blog post.

Thank you as always Roger. That is helpful. I think I will ask another question while I'm here (and it may not have an answer):

How do teams have and maintain thousands of RP?! I know I could refrain from spending for two seasons, but then I would have nothing. Oh wait, is the shoet answer "winning?" 😆
