Thank you. I used that last time I played but I couldn’t remember what the site was called.

Yeah no one likes to purposely lose but this is a strategy game as well as an economic game. I’d follow what someone said of
1)Build your arena
2)Buy an advanced trainer and just keep a minimal doctor and PR and spend 10k on scouting.
3)Buy a couple 18-19yo USA players and train 1v1F. Look for bargain players of 10-15k or less
4)See if you can find some solid Vets that won’t cost you an arm and a leg and won’t eat all your revenue.
5)TIE your games against bots and Normal against real users if need be. Also make sure you manage GS for optimal performance from your players.

1v1F training helps with elastic effect and after a couple seasons of training you’ll have a couple pieces to build around or sell for profit and buy players you want that fit how you like to play. You can see my transactions and see I bought my vets for cheap and I am still competing in my league while training young guys. The best times I’ve found to find deals on Vets are after season has started as well as after playoffs have started as people are trying to get cash for the new season so players can go under the radar for cheap.

I’m sticking around this time. Last time I played I wasted a lot of money earlier on and ended up feeling like I was so far behind before I actually learned how to train, maintain gameshape, game tactics, etc.

You should have some "simple" goals to achieve to have fun.

Maybe:
1) Try to not be relegate if you like your conference
2) Try to access PO
3) Try to access PO several times
4) Try to win PO (one day, maybe a long time to do that ^^)

Buy some cheaper oldies to achieve that (or not, that may be not necessary) and train players/save all the money you can at the same time.

I played for 2/3 seasons with only young players and foghting against bots, it wasn't fun. I stayed because of forum, i was lucky my league was nice.

There is one simple answer:
Play to have fun.

All answers are somewhat good. It depends of each manager: each has his own goals. For exemple: my goal is to train guys i draft. It's what i like. And try to build a good team with this foundation. I didnt have success (for now) but i have fun since i found what i like in this game.

And i have restart fairly often. So i know all the good advice.

At the end of the day, you have to choose your formula. Maybe a bit of fun with a bit of reason (see good advice)

There is no "bad way" to play. It's a game of test.

So let's have fun.. and if you are successfull.. it's even better! ;)

Ps: sorry for my tentative english..

Hey, I was in your situation in div IV U.S. a couple of seasons ago. As it is your first season, it isn't impossible to win your league. In division 4, teams don't really manage game shape or enthusiasm, just look at the guy in 1st place in your league. I was able to do that and win my division my first season. Then since you are not bounded by the salary floor for the first 24 weeks, you should take advantage of that and save as much money as you can. I think the general consensus is to put all that money into the arena and I guess I'd have to agree but to build up a large arena takes millions which honestly does equate to a few of seasons. That could be boring. I think I am more on the side of being competitive, but it really doesn't take much in div.4. I'm currently only a couple of thousand above the salary floor (73k) in div. 4 and I'm confident I will be promoting this season.
