Subject: A guide for starter

Hello to all :)

I write this guide for helping newbies that they don't know how to face this fantastic game. Sokker! Maybe other user could read in this guide something of useful. The goal of this guide is communicate the fundamental bases of sokker.

First of all, a great team, has got a solid financial situation. There are three ways for gaining money:
- by the stadium
- by the sponsor
- by selling players

For increasing these incomes, there are four main elements
- tactic
- stadium
- training
- youth team

Let's we analyze every element a little more detailed:


Tactic

A good tactic let to win the matches. In sokker, this is fundamental. It don't exist a perfect tactic, but it depends by your players and by the opponent. If you see your matches, you could see what needs to your tactic. A manager that plays in premier league and a manager that has just take a team, have usually different tactics, because they have different players.

In the case of the manager that has just take the team, many suggestion could be useful, for example:
- a straight defensive line. The lateral defenders usually must defend, because they have not skills to attack. Even the top team uses a straight defensive line, in order to oppose effectively the winger of the opponent
- a "diamond" line up of the midfielder (arretrate midfielder, left & right midfielder, and offensive midfielder), in order to cover many zone of the field
- don't use winger, because a winger requires high skill, usually a newbie has not one
Don't use the default tactic. There are horrible!!!

There is a topic where it talks about tactic (click here to open), and you can ask for suggestion. Usually in a low series, only a simple suggestion by expert manager could let you win your championship!! What are you waiting? :)

Players and roles


There are, for each role, its primary skill, or usually, skills, that they are more important than other. It depends by the role.
Legend:primary skill| secundary skill | other skill

Goalkeeper: keeper, pace, passing
Defenders: pace, defense, technique, playmaking, passing
Midfielder: playmaking, passing, technique, pace, defense
Winger:pace, technique, passing, playmaking
Strikers: striker, pace, technique, defense, playmaking, passing.

Stamina is very important for every role. If you would like that your player want to play 90 minutes, assure yourself that he has got almost very good in stamina.

While you play, you will have your own opinion on the skills, for example, what are the right secondary for a defender or midfielder. :)


Stadium

The stadium would be proportional to the number of your fun club! Usually it would contain almost 10-15 times the number of your fun club.
Example: if I have 1000 supporter in my fun club, a good capacity of my stadium could be between 10000 and 15000.
The income by stadium depends by your result, and the situation of the opponent, and by the prices that you set.


Training

This is another fundamental part of sokker. In order to train in a good way, you have to assure that your main trainer has got almost magical in the skill that you train. Trainers that has got almost magical in all the skills is the perfect trainer, but they are rare an expensive!! By the other side, a trainer with only one skill (the skill that you want to train) very high and the other skill low, usually he is a cheap trainer.

Every thursday, players get the effect of the training. They get two types of training:
- main training, that trains only the selected skill and the players that have played in the role that has been selected for the training (the roles are GK, DEF, MID, ATT)
- general training, that train all the players that has played during the week in all skills. Obviusly, the general training is very less effective than main training.

The talent is a parameter that influences the speed of grow of your player. If your player raise in the trained skill in three weeks, usually he is a good player. If the player requires over 5 weeks to pop up in the trained skill, he has a bad talent.
Buying young players, training and sell them, it's the main way to gain money.

There are many other thing to say about the training, but there are written in the rules.


Youth team

This is a very good way to gain money if you leave open the youth team for many season. Just you open it, usually it's a loss. The youth team is a long-term investment. But you have young players to sell (or to train in your team) gratis, because you have not to buy them!!!!
You could decide the number of the young players to grow, but I suggest to open the maximum number granted by the game, 30 places. Why?
Because you need a trainer for growing the youth team, different by the main coach of your team. He grow all the players of youth team. It's better to grow 30 young players than 10, don't you? :)
Then, by my experience, training 30 young player, gives more chances to have a great talent. When I had 15 players, it was only a loss... when I've raised the places to 30, I've started to gain something :). A great talent 16/17 years old, believe me, you could sell it very very very very well!!! ;)
Another suggestion, is that to open the youth team when you have a good financial situation.

In this topic, you could advertise the player that will exit by youth team. One of them, could play in national team!!




I finish here. In this guide I have listed the way to grow, without substituting the rules already written :) If there are something that I could write, or you have got many question, write a reply!

Bye and good sokker
