What mistake did you make when your were new?

[Buffs Mad]

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......

+1 This saved me from making even more.

Yes, I'd been playing awhile before I found the Forum! (wouldn't have made the building rush mistake for sure)

I have also made the mistake of replacing half my starters with kids... don't go nuts with ANY changes, make only one or two changes at a time so you can evaluate what happens.

Another mistake I made was trying to teach a slower older guy a new role.. what a waste!

Yeah do not waste your time training new roles or SAs. If you really need another position covered or want a SA, just buy a player with the desired attributes

I would if I could find these on the TL:
(p.s. let me just say if you want a player that's easy to sell, DMC/MC's on all my teams get offers, even the old guys.)

Teaching young fast training players a new role isn't completely a bad idea, it does require a fairly large budget of greens and patience.

SA's can be a waste, but again, if it's a fast trainer, and the SA complements his attributes, it can work out well.

I train Special Abilities but not New Roles......

When I were new, I renamed all players with ALL tokens I had, even the 3* ones. Also quitting the game after promotion. That was long ago and that was my 2nd attempt at T11...

I'm season 8. I just figured out that Training Intensity has nothing to do with which drills they participate in, but just how hard they will participate in ALL drills. I also didn't realize you edit that intensity player by player (even on my phone!). I now know what it means to power train/focus train.

For sure you can prevent (some) stupid injuries by just training rested guys using individual levels, and even out conditioning as well. Though only lately have I been using friendlies to finish evening out condition by well timed subbing.

I started the season with 5 matches to go. Too late to do anything.

My most embarrassing mistake was setting up a referral team then realising 4 days later that I forgot to refer them. O.o I washed out that blonde 'do and created another properly. That's why I have 3 teams now.
