Hey guys I'm new around here and have a few questions that you will probably laugh at :p, but anyway.
1. On the competiton screen it has League level 1 with my team being first, does that mean I now go up to the 2nd level or then what happens next?
2. How do you get into the Champions League?
3. When is the best time to buy players and what do you look for when you buy?
Any help would be awesome.
1. You get new levels when you promote. i.e. are in top7 in your league.
2. to finish in top 4 in your league
3. if you do not buy tokens wait for 3-4 or more days after each season starts. buy old players like 24-25 or more. there are many bids on young players.
yes well after the season has finished and if you're in the first 7 you will move up to league 2 and first 4 will qualify for the champions league but have a look at rules & prizes next to standings and matches on your league
I really can't answer that question cause there's lots of different servers so i guess anytime just keep a look out when you can and look for young fast trainers which are those players that are young but with bigger value than another same player .
I always look for a nice young quality player with lots of value cause it means he's a talent and will train good , but you also need some experience in your squad so don't get a full squad of 19 and 20 year olds because you won't have any maturity and experience is needed so i always get 1 or 2 experienced players to help my squad :)
Good Luck
Ok thanks a lot guys for the help.
Where do you get that experience makes a difference?Quote:

Where do i get that experience ? Well you have a player that's 20 years old and has been playing let's say for 2-3 years then you get a 28 year old player and you will see the difference ...I realised my two 27 year old players one DC and another is MC get better ratings than any other player when i put them on my starting eleven and not to mention last final which i used my oldest players and got away with a victory i wasn't expecting so yeh i might be wrong but a few old players in your squad won't kill ya .Quote:

So, nope, is not the age exactly, that's more long to explain :)
How about you prove that is not the age ?! Not even quality in this game counts it's what the game engine wants and i like to use a few experienced players.. makes me more relaxed and also more confident so i don't see a problem and i don't understand how you can say age "doesn't really make a difference" when nothing in this game makes a difference.Quote:

I like older players too, mixed in with the younger guys. I don't know if it is age, games played, or their attributes already being where they work in your team, or what.. but it doesn't hurt at all to have older guys. They seem to have steadier ratings (at least for me) and if you can count on a guy to always give you a 7 or 8 rating performance, that can give you more confidence. Also too they can be a good value of $ for Quality, if you are trying to build your budget can be a great choice to buy. :D
I can add from my experience over 11 seasons, and a further 10 on my second team, that having older players in your team has no effect whatsoever.
I have had players who have been 28+ in constant rotation with 18 year olds and they have performed exactly the same.
The only thing that changes with an older player, is a reduction in skill gain with training.
I know I probably come across like I slam this game all the time, but the game engine isn't intelligent enough to take player 'experience' into consideration, but I can understand why some people may like to 'fantasise' about things having an effect as the game does seem very basic at times and can lack the realism of real football.
In regards to the OP's questions, as the first two have been answered, I find that the best time to find players is at non-peak times.
I can snap up a good amount of 5* 18 year olds only a few days into the season by bidding at 2am, and other late hours, as most of the people on my server seem to be European, like me.
It's true that they're harder to buy as they're more desirable, but it's worth a shot at getting them, it helps keep your team stable as the players will last a good couple of seasons, rather than having to offload an aging team every season as they've dropped stars and won't regain them fast enough.
Don't settle for second best without giving it a try. :)
But that's just my two pennies worth, there's some great guides in the useful links thread on the forum, in the guides section.
I think you just started. At that point you should have two if not three good players(four and five stars) and 600 K and bit (more depending upon how many home games you have played) in the bank. During those time the price of young 5* players starts from 900 K and reaches up to 2 M so you won't have enough to buy those. If you are placed no 1 in the league and you think you can win the league with the current players I suggest you keep still till the end of the season and try to win as much as possible. Also raise the players quality as much as possible and try to make your 3* players to 4*. At the end of the season when you get promoted to to Level 2, your player's rating will remain same but the star will be decreased by 1.
After you got promoted to level 2 you should have some where around 2 M in the bank if you topped the league. Try to sell those 4* players which will be 3* by then. If you are able to sell them you would have enough to buy 1-2 good young players. If every thing goes to plan buy young 5* young players according to your needs, if things didn't go accordingly, you gotta have a strong squad to go far into CL rounds and Cup rounds(which is the real source of income during those stages) and if you think your squad is not good enough and you don't have enough money, I suggest you buy experienced or old school 5* players (age 28-30) which will serve as good as any for a season or two.
Always look for young free transfers. Always save some for building upgrades. Do not ignore the upgrades.
Best of luck
Great advice on this thread!
