New player struggling. Would love some guidance.

[Sxrenity]

I've read through a few guides. Mostly where I started to learn this game was a little more advanced than first perceived. But I'll take a look at the ones I haven't looked through, so thanks for that suggestion.

Appreciate the feedback too. I'm not too confused on tactics or anything, more to do with the amount of players in certain positions/mixes to successfully cover most positions and formations while being able to cover for tiredness/injuries etc. You're suggestions look pretty solid so thanks for that.

The 3* players aren't bought, just what I've restrained myself from replacing as I got cold feet about just buying for two rotation squads in the same formation. I did buy all the 4*'s though except from the ST's as they developed after a few games.

Tah for the tip about the cheap 5* towards the end of the season.

The way to think about it, is that for each position, you want a substitute player, and a reserve player, but multirole players can kill 2 birds with one stone.

Yeah you'd be surprised with some of the bargains you can pick up, You can get 5*, close to 6* players towards the end of the season, and late at night for between 1 and 5 tokens.

But the game all comes down to how many tokens you have, ie. whether you're buying tokens, farming them, or just playing on a 35T a season budget.

Ie/ my squad depth isn't too great, as you can see on my team showcase, but I have enough tokens to heal players with red packs in emergencies, hence why I only have 1GK, he's usually only going to get injured once a season.

But for non token buyers, a large squad is crucial, as you will have to resort to playing subs and reserves, whereas I can usually field the same squad.

I'll probably be the opposite to you then I guess. I've just finished Uni so can't exactly afford to spend a little here and there for tokens whilst trying to land a new motor

I think after my games tomorrow I'll sell up most of my duplicate-roled players that are of worse quality and begin to put together a range of player positions etc as you suggested. I think I have enough tokens to pick up the remaining 4 star players and have 2-5 left over for a potential 1 or 2 bargains at the end of the season.

Cheers for the help. I think I'll visit here often, this place looks pretty useful and the first person to reply to me has been incredibly helpful and straight to the point.

Well even if you're not willing to spend money, you can farm hundreds of tokens by watching videos, doing surveys, downloading apps. Etc.

Also if you have an iPhone, or play on IOS, then Tapjoy provides a massive source of income, you'd potentially be able to field a squad of scouts, but again, there's a guide written on token farming by a user named Confuzzled.

Anyway, good look with the team building, new users on the forum are always welcome

The point is that most of your posts on here are pointless, you're not contributing anything to this thread.

The auction lets you find a balanced player. The position is one part, the quality is one, the skill set is one, the age is one and the specialization is another. You will want a good quality player that fills the position with a specialty like free kicker. If he is young then you will want an old backup that is cheap and more balanced. If the principle is old, then you will want a young one that you can train like crazy! You can pick up old free agents as backups at any time so you should have one slot free or be ready to cut someone or sell a backup that is appealing. Can't sell someone who is just another old player.
