TallGuysInSpandex have started out like any n00b team, but we did learn some lessons from having played the game years ago. Some basic things that have gone pretty well so far, now that we are about 1/2 of an OCM season in.
1) We saved most of our starting money to buy an Old Captain from the hirelist. Tony Westby came to us for $110k and immediately relegated our starter captain, Judge Archer, to being a leadout. We did well with these two.
2) We kept a very close eye on the hire list for cheap leadouts. Failed trainees from other teams were big improvements to our starting squad. We have even released a few as we were able to hire even better failed trainees. Jarvis Teague ($84k) , Philbert Hilarides ($60k) are the two best...but we now have more than the 6 riders we need, so we will be releasing the lesser ones and investing in ...
3) We found an "ok" trainee. Windy Arryn is not great. He has only Good/Av/Av on some sprinting potentials...but he is a Scot, and we are committed to have a team of Scots (and Scotts) as best we can, so we train his FR now and hope that he maxes very high. If he does not max well, he will be a leadout for his full career.
And so we go. We are in Division 6 now. We have bought no equipment. Hired no staff. We only scout riders that we hire that are very young Scots, and then they pay us back by doing jobs.
We must continue to save our pennies, and ride the backs of Old Uncles from the hirelist as we await a rider that may become the Greatest of Great Scots!

@English Sprinting Team - Very likely :). I will be continually looking to upgrade as I go. Have to keep accumulating money so I can train a Great Scot as soon as possible!
Nice philosophy and some nice captures! Good luck in the sixth! Guess we will meet soon enough in div 4/5 sprints
Nice start! I’ll be training a few leadouts over the next season if you would be interested in the ones I rotate out if they train high enough?
Sounds like a very sound plan :) nice start indeed!
