Wondering what to do with your new team? Here are 11 important things to remember to start a succesful franchise!
1. Click on the cone, and set your training regime to “Stamina”. It’ll give your team a nice boost, and give you a couple of weeks to decide what to train.
2. Click on the player icon and get to know your squad – and be willing to kill a few players. You will have a few naff players to start. Any player with no skills better than average is extremely likely to be naff. Any player with solid or very good skills is a dude!
3. Look through your squad and decide what to train. Trainable players are aged 16 to 23. Under 20 is best. A good start is to pick the skill that you have the most young players playing at. At the moment all skills seem worth training. Especially Defending, Pace, Technique, Striker, Keeper.
4. You need a Head Coach. Click on the cone and then “Coach Recruitment”. BE CAREFUL HERE. Coach recruitment is partially based on luck and can suck away a lot of cash… You want a Head Coach who has is a strong skill (at least incredible) at JUST THE SKILL YOU WANT TO TRAIN, and as weak as possible at the rest. You should be able to get one for a weekly wage of less that £5000. The cheaper the better. As a suggestion, choose Incredible for the statistic you want, and unsatisfactory for the others. You will then get given a coach. If you like him accept him. If not decline him. IF YOU DO NOT DECLINE COACHES, THEY REMAIN ON YOUR WAGES….
5. You also need to hire a YOUTH COACH and ASSISTANT COACH. Here, you just need to look at the average ranking. To start with a coach with an average of adequate to solid will be fine. One way of getting this is to mainly choose “good” on the coach selection skill. Again, look for as low wages as possible. Less than £2000….
6. You need to set up your youth team spaces. Click on the telephone and then “Juniors”. You get between 1 and 6 youths a week, but only if your school is big enough to cope. If you have 5 youths, but only 6 spaces, then you will only be able to get a maximum of 1 new youth. Spaces cost £600 per week, FULL OR EMPTY, so be careful here. Start with 6 spaces and increase it as you need to. Sack players at weak or below.
7. You need to decide on your first team. Click on the Match icon (a football pitch) and go to the next match where you need to set “Match Orders”. You have a lot of room to experiment here. Basically choose a keeper with best keeper skill, defenders with defender, but also pace, technique, passing are useful, midfielders tend to be all rounders, and strikers….yes you’ve guessed it! You also can get to set and edit tactics here – via the football pitch. This is not hattrick, so don’t automatically choose 3-5-2 !!. (For more detailed tactic editing, click on the cone, then the word “Tactics”.
8. Book a friendly (if not in the cup!). Click on the phone and then select friendlies. You can advertise, or search around other players and ask them to join. Try asking on the conference too. This is a bit of a pain in the ass on sokker. Best way is to join a friendly league, which can pre-book up to about 10 games ahead (depending on time of the season).
9. DO NOT delve into the transfer market yet. Money, especially in the early days in very tight in sokker. Using the transfer market is a sure fire way to go bust!
10. Keep visiting the forums – there are many useful hints and tips there.
11. Don't upgrade your stadium too early. You ideally need at least 300 fans before you should even consider upgrading.
Also important is the recruitment of coaches.
There are 2 ways to recruit a coach:
1)
>Go to the Training page.
>Use the Coach recruitment to select the skills for your coach.
>Set the skill you wish to train in as high as possible, set the other skills to really low. This will save on wage cost.
>Randomly generate the coach. This can be a big lottery and many teams have blown huge amounts of cash trying to find the perfect coach.
Alternatively
2)
>Enter the Transfers page.
>Go to the Trainers transfer page by clicking Trainers in the top right corner of the page.
>Narrow down the search parameters. find a coach with a really high skill in what you are training (unearthly in preferable), and low in other skills so that wages are kept low.
>Bid on the coach in an auction. Take note of the time the bidding ends. Bidding always last 2 days in total.
If you are outbid, unlike with player bids, you have to go back to the transfer page to find your coach again (strangely outbid coaches are not shown in the office).
Option two would be preferable and could save a lot of money, if you are looking for a specific type of coach.
