Basic Tips

* Check before you buy core shares for 55 cents that there aren’t cheaper ones on offer from players, there’s often many at 54 cents and sometimes some for 53 and lower (most were bought at 35 cents and have paid a dividend so anything above 35 cents is profit to many).

* Unless you’re going to invest money in early you may be limited to which formations you can field an effective team with, all players have a preferred position and if they are not in they play at for example 75% efficiency.

* Wouldn’t advise being an idiot like me and activating the xfer license, save your euros.

I’ve transferred a fair bit of money from Market Glory to GT, I didn’t spend a huge amount on the club, most going on cheap shares, however I did buy a fairly expensive coach (passing, thought the midfield was awful in this regard) plus quite a few lvl 2 ones, plus a few lvl 3 youths and a bunch of lvl 2 ones, not built any buildings yet though gathering the resources, oh I also spent 100 gold on placement in the top league by accident, my vague strategy I thought on the first few days was to invest in shares then put dividend money into the club however at both dividend payments there were shares at decent prices to buy.

I’m hoping that whilst I haven’t upgraded any buildings that the training team will give my guys the edge over weaker teams in the league to not get relegated.
