I think this game is really fun. Trying to bring my created club to the premier league is a blast, even though I've gotten nowhere near the EPL. I've reached League 1 with my created club but was relegated after one season. Now trying to get back into League 1.
How have others fared? Interested to hear how others have approached the game and what has worked for others.
I took over Forrest Green in 2016 starting in League 2. It is now 2020, so I have played 3 or 4 seasons. We are in the Premier League, and competing in the top half of the league. We have won 3 League Titles in route to getting here. We annualy go deep in cups, which helps the team make money. I try resting my stars before cup games when I can. Check my post "You can Succeed without coaching badges" If you want to know how well Im doing now.
I have maxed out my Training Grounds and Youth Academy. I have a level 3 Stadium. My Staff has three members with Maxed Badges. My Academy Manager's overall is 93. My Headcoach has a 95 overall. My Manager's overall is currently 92, he is also maxed. The rest of my staff is in the High 60's. 2 years later I can hire them in high 70s, but I save my money.
I have a young talented team, and we run a wide variety of formations. I just run what works best with the players I have. I take my opponents Formation into Consideration as well, and often look up their team in advance to know their capabilities. When Facing a weak opponent, sometimes I use a different formation to get the replacements I want in as my starters rest. USE HIGH POTENTIAL PLAYERS AGAINST WEAK TEAMS. I always manually look at my team prior to the game. Even if you arent going to make changes it shows you the team overall, attacking, midfield, & defense overall. This is how I learned more about the game. I even learned about formations, strategies, and impact of skill sets this way.
I sign and play young players as much as I can, but in the past I occassionally hired some old talented guys. I played the old in cup & tournament games. Id also play them in games against Top Teams in my league. Older players need more rest anyways. Not playing them can lead to fast skill decay, so do not rest them if their health is at its peak unless you have a decent match soon you want them rested for.
I watch advertisements as much as I can. The coins are useful beyond belief. You use them for many things, the best two options being to increase your Wage Budget and funds, or to train your staff members. ALWAYS Extend your staff members contract to as many years as you can BEFORE Training him. You dont want him to leave. I didnt start training my staff until a few years in, when my reputation was Higher. ALWAYS accept the additional contract years after training a staff member.
Free Agents and Youth Academy players do not recquire transfer fees, so they are awesome. When Scouting for those rare moments you want to acquire a transfer (after having a good funds and maxed out facilities), either choose the potential players option or experienced players under 27. Do not forget you can look at non scouted & transfer listed players by going to league table. You can even look at league stats for Goals if searching for attackers.
I also look @ teams in league table to view the roster of teams trying to get players Im loaning out. I try to get them somewhere they can play, but sometimes you may just have to accept that anywhere else will play them more than you will.
After Securing a League Title prior to the finish of a year, I recall any additional high potential players on loan. I play a team purely dedicated to development. Make sure you do not do that in a tournament game though. This also helps rest the starters 4 the tournament games.
Resign Young players early in the season in which their contract ends, unless you don't want them anymore.
great comments
