These are the main sections of the game rules that you really need to have read and understood:
Transfers Season Update Tactics Training Sponsor Activities Youth Talents Skill Form Special Qualities To play the game with minimum involvement you could get away with only logging in once a week however I'deally recommend logging in every 3-4 days otherwise you risk missing out on a youth player. On a weekly basis the main things you need to do are: Check the result of the last match (And maybe watch the game so you can later claim to have been robbed) I also then look at the match report as well as my player ratings (Under "Last Lineup") and my player form changes as well as the "xperteleven" (which is basically the team of the week) Deal with any messages/Youth talents in your mailbox Get your million econ for the sponsor activity Form train any players who you feel need it. Maybe go shopping for a new player if you've got a few million in the bank. Pick your best 11 plus 5 subs (Most weeks this won't need changing unless you have injuries/Suspensions to deal with) for the next game. Try and guess what tactics your opponent will be using and try to pick a formation/tactics to counter this. Obviously there's a lot more to it than that if you want to put in plenty more time but that's not the point of writing this. Any other tips I'm happy to give out on a question and answer basis rather than trying to cover all the bases. |

Ah, spotted this just in time.
Better go sort the squad out in case I've got the Banana Bunch in round 1. EDIT: Team page doesn't show any new fixtures for this weekend, have I missed something?

I've done it now, but for some reason it's now changed our fixtures to Thursdays and Sundays. I definitely had Wenesday and Saturday selected when I pressed the button as well. Very strange :/
