Hi guys!

Thanks for all the welcomes really appreciate it

And all the answers were great, some really good advice, in fact a couple of you touched upon my next question, so I can only see players in my league, their stats, history etc, the only time I see other players is in the auction bit, you can click on the bidders and see their stats, teams and leagues.

So going along on my merry way oblivious to so much this far in the game I'm upgrading all sorts of stadium stuff, then I build the youth training ground, it opens up my youth programme, it says I can only do this on level 3, anyway point Is I clicked on someone's name that bidded on a player I wanted, he was 20 odd points clear in the league, and I looked at his overall record and he was like won 32 drew 5 lost 2 or something like that, so it was clear this wasn't his first season and he'd smashed this league completely as a level 1 player

Thats when it dawned on me, had I just messed up big time opening up the youth academy and building the training ground?

I'll finish top 2 in the league, my ranking is super high for that level now, I guess I'm going to a level 3 League next season?

Brutal, and stupid mistake if I'm right, any clarification on that?

As for the purchase, well I was going to hold off then this offer popped up and was for only 24 hours....

Damn on my phone and can't see a post pics button, anyway I got a notification that my sponsor was gonna pay for a player, the cash part, all I had to do was pay tokens, there was three to chose from but the clock was ticking, the top ranked one was a 7 star 23 year old defender for 49 tokens I think and no cash! I just couldn't say no, was a great offer, similar players in my scout compartment showed that type of player was going for 59 tokens and over 1m cash, I couldn't turn it down

So I went ahead with the purchase (was time constraned anyway gf has set me a limit for these games after I went mad spending on the pool one past two years)

So I deposited and scooped him up, I bought 3.2m cash for 80 tokens I think, yes I bought the 8-9 star player (which seems a super waste given what I've just read from you guys) and I bought 3 players from the scout part that were all 7 or just under stars, so got 5 quality players, oh yeah forgot my GK sub is only 4 stars so I bought a 29 year old just in case my keeper gets injured, he was 5 stars and only like 150k(due to age I'm guessing) and got him for 6 tokens!

So six players in total, my rating went from 105 to 116% but knowing what I know now, I couldn't have made worse purchases at a worst time combined with my seemingly youth team upgrade thing atm I'm a great example in how NOT to play the game!

I've got 300 tokens left, I bought 50 greens too, so I suppose I'll just have to see her next season brings, really did out all my eggs on one basket here REALLY need to win this league as I think it might be tricky for me cos of what I've done hereafter

Thanks again lads, I really found your responses helpful

ANY good tutorials that you guys know of? For a noob, tactics, gameplay, off pitch stuff etc let me know please!

There's a wealth of knowledge on here and I'll be making good use of it but in the meantime any good broad or general tutorials then hook me up cheers lads 👍

Anyway thanks for your answers guys, how do
