Without spending, don't even try playing at 130, everyday will be like a cup final, with 2 match/day, your resources will be drained, it feel like a full time job just to get the match prepareness up. Everyone is competing for the "who is richer trophy", you will end up stress if thing dont go your way, and eventually quit.

I find playing at 80-100 is the sweet spot, the game is more relaxing with ~4 teams fighting for 1st spot on the league, no need to waste time watching ads, no need to boost every match, no one buying 5% mourinho support, the only busy schedule is only on the final week.


If you are playing at 100+, learn how to get better draw on next season by selling your 1st team players /hiding on player academy / selling all youth academy, oscasionally will get a draw against +1 level manager with access to better market with 200 training rule.
