What mistake did you make when your were new?

[gogs67]

My biggest mistake was spending actual money on the game the first few seasons, a pointless exercise. Just play it on your terms, don't try and even come close to competing with token buyers as you progress.

My mistakes when new included

a. Not giving arrows to my players or giving them the wrong ones
b. Not using whole pitch pressing when attacking w/ superior team.
c. Focus passing down the right flank through a low 3 star player, instead of through my 4/5 star midfielders during the CL round of 16 of season 2.
d. Changing tactics during a live match to an illegal formation (DL got injured and I replaced him with a DC I think, leaving me w/o anyone on the left.

I am ashamed of having spent a grand total of 20€.

Not worth 20 cents, let alone 20€...

It was probably a mistake to try to add the one-on-one scorer on one of my strikers. Most likely I would have been better served using those fifty cones to improve him all around instead of in just that one area. (If anything else, he would have sold for more when I finally sold him.)

Oh you are new
Dont search for hack's , for this game doesn't have hack's i waste a lot of time for that
And someone can steal you'r Facebook password so dont try to download hack's and you can get viruses in you'r computer :P
Second dont buy player's with 27-33 years , just buy young players if u want good score and team
Third.
Dont play a lot friendly matches that's all :3
Bye, Good Luck.

The biggest and only mistake you can do as a newbie is NOT JOINING the forum...

If you will join the forum then automatically you will not commit any of the mistakes mentioned in the above posts......

Bidding multiple times in a round,wasting money on extending contracts every season,rushing buildings with tokens,buying emblems and jerseys...

Things to avoid:

1. Using an illegal formation (not that you'll lose, but it will be harder to be consistent)
2. Wasting training points
   
   • Don't train a player for a specialty unless he training around a 3x pace (percent compared to training type)
   • Never train a player for a new position. Rather just avoid playing more than 3 players out of position
   • Never train a player while transfer listed, you won't be able to apply the points
   
   
3. Buying anything with money or wasting too many tokens

That's about it really. Just use some common sense and you'll be ok
