The shown "best position" is just a "hint" for you. It has no effect on training/match!

=> It can change after training (f.ex. a SF which gets Inside-training will be -after a time- a PF)

=> Sometimes/Often it's better, when a player doesn't play on his "best position" (f.ex., when you play 2-3 and Look-Inside, than it makes sense that a PF plays on the SF-position)

I suggest to invest at least 20k since it is already late in the season and you need to get information quickly. It should be worth it because you got the chance to draft high potentials.

as tall as possible. 2.13 and above for a center is nice
PF can be a bit smaller. But I dont knwo exactly. I train guards only

Again, thanks for all the help! I'm going to read through this thread again in case I have missed anything. :)

In the meantime... Staff.

The strategy I'm developing at the moment is similar to how I started on Hattrick: to focus on earning money and building my fanclub. I'm not interested in results or paying huge player salaries. There are enough bots in this league to win a few games each season!


With that in mind, here are my startup staff:

Logan MacKendrick
Doctor
Skill Level: 1
Speciality: None
Last week's salary: $ 2 455
This week's salary: $ 2 479

Michael MacKean
Trainer
Skill Level: 1
Speciality: None
Last week's salary: $ 2 455
This week's salary: $ 2 479

Adam MacHugh
PR Manager
Skill Level: 1
Speciality: None
Last week's salary: $ 2 455
This week's salary: $ 2 479


And some questions:

1. Does my strategy sound sensible for a startup team? I'll move onto playing to win eventually, but just not quite yet.

2. Due to my strategy I don't think I need a better doctor. Right?

3. I guess a Trainer and a PR Manager are required though. What levels would you recommend?

4. I haven't checked the transfer market yet, but I guess specialities come at a price...

5. Do you have any other tips or advice regarding staff?

Cheers, folks! :)

The most important staff is a good (at least level 4, should be 5) trainer, he needs no speciality in your situation.

If your arena is still that small you needn't to have a PR-Manager over level 3; and a doctor level 2-4 can help you, that your Trainees wont be injured so often; which helps you during the training process.

I would say start with doc lvl 1 or 2 (injuries are quite rare). PR lvl 2 to start until you up your arena. And a lvl 4 trainer. Most say lvl 5 but i dont actually think it's too big a difference for the $200,000 difference in price. Make sure you go for the guy with the lowest starting salery.
