Out in Cup+CL, how to set up for next season?

I need some advice from you experienced guys: I failed to advance in CL and Cup, so i only play League. League goes well, I'm ahead with 14-1-0, but its still close because I have a close competitor with 14-0-1 (I won vs him, but had a draw vs a random guy).

I obviously want to win the league, but i want to prepare in the best possible way for next season. How do I do that? Which (type of players) players should I sell, which should I buy. Should i let go of some players I dont need (I have a 22 player squad, I guess I wont need them for only 1 competition).

please help the noob!^^

what lvl are you Zeon ?

Lvl2

But I was looking for general advices, so it shouldnt change too much (except of direct transfers)?

nobody? :(

Post screen/pics of your team, it would help.

Ask yourself this: Whats you goal or goals for next season, and how much time, money or tokens are you willing to spend?

To give a general advice is difficult, because I don't know anything about you and your club (token buyer, transfer budget, actual rooster, favorite systems, ...).

So I can only give a very general advice: Sell the players that have bad growth and are not vital for your team.

I say try to sell some players because after every season they drop one star. That's a good way to make some money so next season you can sign players right off the bat.

I think its vital for you to maybe give some ideas to us on how your team is so that we can help. I can just tell you to use 550T and buy 11 first team scouts and you are good to go.

You can already start preparing for next season starting to sell your worst players, thus freeing space for other better next season.

At level 2 you should expect to turn over 75% of your squad. Sell off your worst players TODAY. Watch videos and pick up tokens, be patient, watch the transfer list, and pick up quality players (5* ONLY) when you can - BUT BE PATIENT, don't get into bidding wars ... try to get them for 5 tokens or less. Snag FAs every chance you get, give them a full training and then sell them immediately (you'll need the cash).

Don't even think about trying to train up 2* or 3* players. SELL them. Never buy them. Unless you have some scout players, none of your current squad will be on your team 2 seasons from now.

Once you get to level 4 or 5, then you might start keeping players around for several seasons. But even then, there's almost no reason to have a 3* or lower player on your team. 4* players are borderline - if they're close to reaching 5*, and you need them, then yeah ...

On the FA market, buy 5* players, don't worry about special abilities, and try to get the most expensive players you can afford (they train better) that are as close to 6* as possible. Ignore age at this point, EXCEPT don't buy any players 30+.

Try to read some guides from forum.

thanks, that was the post I was looking for


@PG: Guides are nice, but I didnt find much information about my concerns



I have two quite fast training players which are worth quite a lot (I think they were in my starting squad in season1)
DL/DC, Q27, age 20, 2.2m
ST, Q23, age 19, 1.9m

Should i sell them and get better (but older) players this or next season or should I keep and train them?




to all the guys who said I should post my squad so you can help me: ty for your effort to help, but I need to learn the basics, so I know what to do every season. Just you giving me advice to do this and that wont help me in the long run ;)

Depends on what their level is. (Q30 = 6* at your level???)
As far as I can tell, best case scenario is a player will stay even with stars as you advance (assuming normal training, no token buying power training) - i.e. if he's 5* now, a full season training/playing will get him to 6*, but then when you advance to the next level, he'd lose a star and be 5* again next season.

So, unless you hit on an exceptionally well-training player, you're just not really going to train someone up from 3* to 6*. Remember too that their training will slow down at each step up ... they train MUCH faster at 3* than the same player will when he hits 4*, etc.

On the other hand, every skill point adds about $10k to the players value ... so you might hold off selling fast trainers so as to get more return when you do sell them.

The market goes through fluctuations as well (seasonal and daily). The best time to sell is during the insanity of the first week of the season. You'll often get double the value of the player you're selling during that period. (It's also the worst time to buy players). But your players lose value when the new season starts, too, so holding them until then isn't necessarily a good idea either.

As a direct answer to your question, if I have the quality to star level equivalents correct for your level, if they were my players:
DL/DC, Q27, age 20, 2.2m 5 star??? If so, keep him. maybe even if he's 4* and you can get him to 5* by the end of the season
ST, Q23, age 19, 1.9m Train him every chance you get until his condition is 0 or he gets injured, apply all skill points, and sell

This assumes they aren't your starters or primary backups - you still need to win your league.

some other things to remember-

• keep a full or nearly full roster. Even if they aren't playing, they can be training (farming $ when you sell them)
• The fastest way to make $ is to buy FAs and resell them (drawback: need tokens to buy them)
• if your roster is full, you can stash new players for up to 7 days before you have to sign them
• always try to get versatile, multi-position players
• ideally you'll have two full squads of starters (5* and better), with the weaker squad playing league, and your stars playing CL & Cup

All of these strategies may change at higher levels. At level 4/5 I'm starting to keep more players for multiple seasons.

I do not agree with Razz!

buy only 5 star players 18 years old, and training training training

make them all come 7 star, will be useful in future seasons

sorry for y bad english

i'm 2 level, this is my team

Attachment 4199
