Thanks Cody.
I only created a second team to find out what the referral process was like. Then they started winning or having interesting results and I started to take an interest. Sometimes I attend my 2nd teams games rather than my main because they're less predictable.
So first thing u need to decide is do you want a referral team (which will be on the same server) or one on a different server.....
if you want a referral team just remember to make a fb account and add it as a fb friend to your main one. Then invite it from main team in game. Only then do you start the app on fb acct.
Not sure what advice I can give but here's how I approach my second team:
My second team just survive on the 35T from sponsors.
I don't really deliberately develop the team - most of my transfers have been because of injuries but ofc if I have to buy I try to buy decent players - never the best players.
I don't want my second team to develop enough to get the testosterone flowing or they'll take to much managing
I don't even think of counter-formations I just set up the team in a formation I think will get the best out of the players available and maybe tweak things if other side look overly defensive or offensive.
I don't get disappointed if they lose because they are not far ahead of the opposition so anything is possible.
I do feel a bit more attached to the players somehow since they stay in the team for quite a while.
So far they've not had really hard Cup Draws so its nice to have that extra interest.
Since its a referral team I can check on it through my main team's Friends list and just pop onto it when something needs done *edit* and I can watch the game without switching.
Its actually quite nice to have a side you can experiment with without the fear of throwing away points.
With a second team I can make sure I get the 1 gift I really want for my main.
If there's trolling to be done then its my second team that does it rather than being on the receiving end.
And the big difference from my main team is on my main if I buy a new player then I see 3 or 4 friends buy one too next day (and vice versa) to try to keep up with each other. On the second team friends are just for gifts.
One of the downsides is they play against more abandoned teams than my main atm and I think that might continue even going up the levels because they'll stay around 3*.
If there's anything specific you want to know then just ask here or by Pm or whatever. I'm not that experienced tho but always happy to try to help
And good luck to you too. Sometimes things just go into a slump then pick up again.
