Sort Out Your Staff
- Upgrade your assistant manager (vital if you sim games).
- Prioritize judging ability/potential, tactical knowledge, and people management.
- Recruit strong directors of football, scouts, physios, and sports scientists early.
- Don’t hesitate to sack weak staff at the start: better staff = smoother progress.
Be Wise With Your Money
- Respect your wage and transfer budgets — overspending sinks lower league clubs.
- Push to get the highest percentage of transfer revenue back into your budget.
- Free transfers are gold in the first few seasons — they’ll carry you.
- Clubs with debt? Double down on loans and freebies.
Use Affiliated Clubs
- Affiliations = cheap (often free) access to quality loan players.
- Parent clubs benefit from game time for their prospects, you benefit from talent without the cost.
- Use feeder clubs to loan out your own youngsters too. It builds depth and experience.
Upgrade Your Facilities Early
- Success → money → reinvest into training and youth facilities.
- The better your facilities, the better your youth intake and squad development.
- Boards might push back, but keep requesting. Futureproofing is key for long-term saves.
Choose Your Club Wisely
Think about the challenge you want:
- Big fanbase but fallen giant (Dynamo Dresden, Deportivo La Coruña).
- Debt-ridden sides (Bolton, Wigan).
- Small clubs with tiny resources in lower leagues.
- Decide whether you want a rebuild project, a rags-to-riches story, or a redemption arc.
