Football management: starting well
One first club, a tight budget and a few simple rules are enough not to get lost.
Pick a small club
A division 4 club is more forgiving. The budget is limited, so are expectations, and you learn without pressure. Look at the list of clubs and pick a name you like.
Classic mistakes
- Spending the whole budget in the first window
- Ignoring the academy
- Answering important messages too quickly
- Promising playing time you cannot give
Your first week
Read your messages, check your squad, sign one useful player and watch a match. The rest comes with playing. Need a hand? how to play.
