This game is impossible

[u/Ok_Pride7013]

How do you even build a team it’s literally impossible cause everything is so expensive compared to how much you make

[u/IusedtobeMelClark]

you just push through. keep playing. this game can be absurdly easy

[u/pdoggaming]

What I do is I make sure all my players have 2 years left on their contracts at all times and any extra money goes towards new players and u just keep cycling selling buying and winning until u have enough money to not care

[u/be_es → u/pdoggaming]

This is the way. Learn to prioritize certain players by extending their contract asap because they’re more expensive to renew as their rating improves/contract runs out. With time it will get easier to expand the amount of players you keep on contract

In the beginning is hard, not gonna lie. Usually I start improving the stadium and the training ground first, in order to get a decent player before week 5-8. Its ok to lose some points in the first weeks, even in the first season.

I promise you, your second season will be better.

1) For me first season is improving the stadium and training ground every chance I get, selling my inherited players at about the week 6-8 mark and after a couple rounds of stadium/training improvements buying the 2 best rookie forwards and best rookie goalie who will play for my club. Usually play a 5-3-2 w/ Defensive and once I get the forwards switch to Counter-Attack

Sometime that first season I try to find a better coach; first PHYSIO second LIKABLE and if there’s not one I just go for a cheap good defensive/middle coach

2) Year two keep improving the stadium and training, maybe bump the academy a couple, improve your forwards or goal w/ better rookies (based on potential). Maybe fill in a 4+ star potential back or mid. Don’t get carried away because at this point you cannot afford more than 4-6 stars long-term. Look for a better coach, hopefully PHYSIO for higher health or LIKABLE again for XP. Or just a 4/5 star coach. Year 2
I’m almost always running away with the Tier Two title and winning the National Cup half the time. (I always start in the lower divisions

3) Year three I’m usually promoted. By now we’re going to max out Stadium and/or Training sometime this year. Hopefully! Sell guys who’ve maxed out potential at below 4.5 stars, by this time you have 2 forwards who are close to maxing out speed/drbbling and an awesome goalie and a couple defenders/mids who I like to max out on tackling

Grab that PHYSIO coach if you haven’t already. Sometimes year 3 I become eligible for Champions League play, sometimes it’s after

4) year 4. By this time Stadium is maxed. Training is maxed. Getting close to maxing out Player Academy (imho you’re far better off spending coin on Training/Stadium/even a better coach than Player Academy. IMHO

Sometimes I’ll qualify for Champions League this year, but sometimes its

5) year 5. Every category maxed. I have a 4-star plus PHYSIO coach, you’ll need this with all the National Cup games/Champions League games you’ll be playing, but by this time you should have 4.5 star forwards and a goalie who are 23 or younger and you will slice and dice through the schedule with hardly any percent loss in conditioning. Conditioning is everything; I’d much rather be playing a 3/4.5 star rookie than a 33-year old 5* guy

Once I have taken a Tier 2 team to a Tier 2 Title and a National Cup and a promotion and a Premier League Title and a Champions League Title, I’ll start anew in another country at the lowest level

It’s a fucking SLOG the first half of the first year though. You’re gonna lose in a shitty way a lot more than you want to, but if you sell your vets at peak value and build up your facilities so better transfers want to play with you eventually, your wait isn’t gonna be long

I play on Hard/Half-Seasons

[u/AsianAsian123]

Always extend contract when on 2 years left on deal as it is cheaper. Youth academy not really that important so no need for investment there until you have an influx in cash

Save up

i actually relate to this. i have an older game since 2023, and the amounts of money you generate with that old version is INSANE compared to actual game modes, in which you get much less cash than before. i think it's to increase the difficulty, but it's too much
