@ SLickz HI hun do you use any arrows on your strikers ??? have you switched them around at all ?? ie Keehan on the left Tan Tai on the right and visa versa to see if it makes a difference who scores ???

I,ve just bought a new striker and will change them around a bit to see where he plays best !!!

All my strikers are right footed. And Van de always plays on the right. Last 3 seasons though Keehan has been a lone striker, never played him up front with anybody. And no arrows on any of my team.



Also do you guys and gals ofc add skill points during season or at end? I always added throughout the season but read somewhere it said its better to at the start of next season. Is there any benefit to it?

"No I got rid of 3 1 star players about to retire and waiting to replace them when I can if I lose today may tank the league so we will see"

I thought that retirees are replaced with lower Q players.. but they are still replaced?????? Please confirm
If so, then why not still use them until you are able to find appropriate replacements.

Do you sell before you buy or is it better to buy and then sell, even if it takes a week to offload....

I said in another thread that I had about 4 T11 generated players given to me at the start of the season to replace those I have not yet signed. I almost kept two of them since they were better than 2 of my worst players, simply because I have to tank this season with that account. But I believe they were 2* players and right now I have four 2* players, so tanking is going to happen as over half my team is 2/3* and I am not going to put out my remaining tokens to replace half the team. I would be looking at 4-7T per player on average for a total of ~50T to get twelve 4/5* players.

So noobs in this group: tank every 2nd season if you want to save tokens and have the best chance at trophies.

DO NOT upgrade WHILE boosters/youth are being generated, as you will lose out. These reset to zero during upgrade.

Is it recommended to hold off on a booster upgrade and wait til its finished? In my first season, I just went ahead and upgraded them because I was planning to get 4-5 upgrades done in time to start my Academy u/g

About the price of tickets i am now level 5 and i have 6 for league and CL and 7 for cup, always full house.
I now have 6000 seats, i am upgrading slowly, but will be 7000 tomorrow.
Anyone have better values?

I'm quite greedy, set my prices to $8 since I've only got 600 capacity and 1500-2400 fans, cant remember now

How long did you have to wait until the replacements come in?
Last season, 3 of my players retired i didnt get any free replacements, but bought a fair few so maybe I had enough players

Actually got a full squad now (some mediocre player) and decide who to let go to make room for the 2 youth players.
The 2 who are out of contract this season as playing well, looks like they want a new contract
And cant seem to shift those mediocre players... even got one up to 3stars but still no takers

Just finished a match, their GK got injured and wasnt subbed off. Was it bad of me to play 3 up front with 3 wingers playing direct?
Tried to bombard his goal to get as many goals in early on in the season, only won 3-nil (away)

[littledude072]

IIRC theyre replaced with 2Q players
i didnt show up a little over a month and saw my youngens gone, replaced with grampas retiring the next season

changed the match at 3 to 7, bid on 2 players, won the gramp, now with 0 tokens and 60K
hoping things wont go to spit anymore, i only have 2 subs ATM and a keeper, he did score a goal once as a striker XD

[Dman2pt]

I always try o buy first and sell After, except If one player starts to have to many injurys or always have bad ratings like 4 and 5.
Also If i start to be kick off of cup and Cl, i start to reduce he squad, 22 players is to much for playing only in the league.

That's all for the advice :-)

Any formations that are better than others or is it best to arrange the team around your best players/there positions.
