    Definately. Last year my crowds were crap as I started off near the bottom, lost four games in a row in the middle of the season to the top two teams, lost fans and only scraped 3rd place at the end of the season. This season I've been in the top two all season and breached the 1000 fans mark so I am filling my 25k stadium against top teams. I have two home games left against the two bottom teams this season so this will be an indicator of what my worst possible crowds are. I reckon I'll increase it to 35 or 40k. You just wish you were in the game one season earlier as they're already dead expensive and they're gonna get far worse next season.

    Made a couple of signings. Snapped them out of other teams grasps in the last few minutes before the deadline also. Delighted

    Bought 2 keepers by accident though:

    Stanford Situnayake (15075529)
    26 years, weak form, healthy
    A pleasant guy who is balanced and honest.
    Has wretched experience and inadequate leadership abilities.

    Nationality: Oceania
    Total Skill Index (TSI): 1 680
    Wage: 2 592 €/week including 20% Bonus
    Owner: Come on the 'dale
    Warnings: 0
    Injuries: Healthy


    Stamina: excellent Goaltending: passable
    Playmaking: wretched Passing: disastrous
    Winger: disastrous Defending: wretched
    Scoring: disastrous Set Pieces: poor

    I'll keep this guy and get rid of the other fellow i bought. Wage bill is quite big.

    BTW I think i challenged you exile. Go really easy ok, last i checked, my fans were murderous.

    I've just joined hattrick and am a bit lost. I've had a look through some of the sites mentioned here but don't really know what I'm doing! Any advice from grizzled veterans here?

    Yeah i did a bit of stadium building myself the other week. I'm up to 22,500 or so now. Dont know if i'll fill it though. cause i've only 1,050 supporters club. Hopfully i will. It is very expensive to expand the stadium even at the moment, so i might try expanding again before the deadline cause after that it'l be pure hell trying to budget to afford it.

    Does anybody have big income coming in for the finance part of your economy. I have Spokepersons getting me a good bit through sponsors, i think its economists that reflect on your finances but i dont know if they can create huge income by employing about 7/8 of them. Any views ??

    Welome !!
    I dont think there is anything, that can be done immediatly cause you've only got your team but pick out a formation that you wish to play for the season or so and then try buy cheap trainees, 17 year olds preferably so you can choose the right training type and train them up and if needed then sell one or two off for huge money and buy decent players for other positions. You'll probably have to wait till next season to get settled enough to challenge for promotion or so. You need patience for this game.
    Best of luck anyway.

    Finally a fellow student joins up. What's your team name Schumi? Whatever you do, do not spend any money until you figure things out.

    Something like that, yeah! In hindsight, fadas would have been easier to type but it looks cooler this way.

    Some Dutch guy stole my name too.

    Well Schumi you got a bit of a rough deal, you got put in the bottom division and one with a few human players it seems. Most of us get put in Series IV. However nevermind.

    Ok hattrick works like this to make huge amounts of money you train players up and sell them. To train a player you select a skill to train and simply select a player in the position of the skill that is being trained. Training is updated once a week (Friday) so any player who has played once or twice in the trained position in the last week receives training. It doesn't matter if you play once or twice you get the same amount. So to maximise this effect you should play a friendly every single week to double the amount of players you can train. The more players you train the more money you will make. Also the younger a player is the faster he trains (17 being the youngest possible age). So the idea is, say you train defending then you will buy a bunch of young defenders train them over a few seasons and make a huge profit. Also the
    better the coach the faster they train.

    Now to get a hang of the team selection it roughly goes like this.
    GK: Only relevant stat is goalkeeping.
    CD: Only relevant stat is defending
    WB: Relevant stats are defending and winger, winger less important than defending
    Central Mid: Most important stats is playmaking, closely followed by stamina and secondarily passing and defending
    Winger: Most important stat is winger, followed by stamina, then followed by playmaking and passing
    Striker: Most important stat is shooting, followed by passing

    If I were you I'd buy no players for a couple of weeks at least until you figure out how to select a team and how to get a proper training regime going

    Use the info provided by others here or use that info website. Write down the nesessary skills for each position in team (use 4-4-2 formation for now). Now go through your squad & list down the best 4-5 players in each position, Pick your best team for next game & see how they perform. Now can decide the weak positions, formation to continue etc...

    Noooo the harsh comment was in relation to your result. Doing well and winning then pegged to a draw. Harsh on you. But as I said he is miles ahead of you in the league so it wasn't the worst thing in the world. Nothing to do with anything you said about me. Your exactly right, he was a better team and my defence restricted him as it is the best part of my team. Good luck this weekend. Hope your upturn continues.
