The manager experience badge
All managers have a personal page showing his performance and experience (just click on his name).
Experience is indicated with a color badge or depending on whether you have been connecting for less than 4 days, more than 4 days or more than 8 days.
You can only buy, sell or lend to another manager with the same badge color as you.
The badge is obtained after 8 days of connection and you will keep it indefinitely if you connect at least once every 15 days.
What to do in the first week ?
-
You should check out the free agents without a contract, it’s more than likely that you’ll find players stronger than some of your starting lineup, and you can offer them a contract for a free transfer. This applies to both senior players and young players under the age of 17, so you can start building a U17 team (Under 17) as well.
-
Don’t forget to check the contract of all players in the squad, maybe you need to renew some.
-
Terminating a player contract is only possible with the badge
-
Choose your sponsor, it’s one of the main sources of income, paid at the end of the season. Performance earnings bonuses are also paid at the end of the season. Other income comes from ticket sales and player sales during the season.
-
Create a training planning with only "jogging" for the first week, and assign this planning to all your players until they reach +12% of physical condition. Then you will be able to vary the training plannings.
How do my players progress ?
Your players will progress through your training and by playing official games. Your players will never become better footballers without you !
Friendly games
Friendly games only exist to test your tactics and your players. It doesn’t matter if your players aren’t on top form or injured, they will be able to play these games at 100% match fitness.
Every day you have the opportunity to play as many friendly games as you want, thanks to the "Quick Match". Otherwise, you are allowed to schedule 3 friendlies at a desired date and time using the "Find Friendly Match" menu.
What happens if my balance is negative ?
BEWARE: if your balance is negative you will not be able to buy any more players, contact a free player, renew your contracts, or even build additional buildings, until your finances are healthy again.
