 Hello all, just joined and been looking around and reading what I can but had a few questions come up.

1. First off, I'm curious what people think is the best first steps for a new manager? Invest in Juniors? Stadium? High level staff? I started with 3 mil in cash and still have 2.2 mil after some purchases and staff signings.

2. I'm still not really clear about Progression, I've tried the show forecast button but it doesn't seem to do anything. How do you know who's going to improve at a better rate?

3. Schools? Should a new manager make a low level school or just wait and try to save up money for a legit one in the future? Or build up stadium first to create better income levels?

4. Training, I read something about a Junior farm, is this something that most teams do where they sign young juniors in similar positional categories and then focuses trainings for those positions? So far I've just been selecting training programs that have a wider positional affect, is that a good strategy? General thoughts on training and training programs?

Anything else a new manager should know when starting out?

Thanks in advance. 		15/03/2012 03:31

 Go here to get things started and figure out a few things:

http://uk.strikermanager.com/foros/foro.php?id=1145

1. Invest in your stadium as often as possible, however, building a squad of players who will win in your league should be important. Moving up through the divisions ensures that the money invested in your stadium really starts to really roll in.

2. I don't think new managers can open the forecast buttons, there's a rule about that. Don't know why but you first need 8,000 exp points. These are gained by playing against other teams. The higher the exp of the other manager the faster that increases.

3. I wouldn't bother with schools in the beginning. I built one last season and I am less than impressed. Save up for a 4 or 5 star school instead.

4. Training is a little bit complicated, spend some time figuring it out. Have a look around and ask more specific questions, your question is far too broad for an answer this early in the morning for me anyway.

 1.) Stadium is probably the best out of those three options you gave

2.) You can't show forecast until you reach 8000xp. Also I wouldn't advise you to click on that "progression" button in your squad menu, it just shows training for the past days and costs a lot of golden balls. To see your best players just look t the result of training (put mouse over green/red arrow). Personally I think for new users 0,2+ is pretty good

3.) My answer would be stadium again

4.) That's what most active managers do......I think (those who usually come on chat and stuff). Up to you to choose what to train (mids, defenders, GK, strikers) but first I would advise you to train all your players a bit more and learn how training works

Most of things you need should be here http://uk.strikermanager.com/foros/foro.php?id=1145
EDIT: You have 2 answers to work with now....pretty similar too

 Work on your stadium first. Quality > quantity seats. Also learn to use advanced formations. And learn which type of players work with your tactic. 15/03/2012 09:49

 Agree with everyone here, build that stadium. Save up for a set of pro seats, it'll make an enormous difference to your game income. Try to keep the number of seats in each section the same. So if I were you I'd probably build 1 set of general then 1 set of Pro seats .

Show forecast button does exactly that, shows other people the forecast of the player, it's generally used if you're selling a high forecast player. There's a couple of things you can't do until you hit 8k experience. Find out the forecast of a player is one of them

To be honest game tactics is greater than player average when you first start out, if you can work out how to use advanced formation(there's a FAQ), then investing in players isn't too important to begin with. Pump all your money into the stadium.

Read all of the FAQ's it really helps

Welcome and Good luck. 		15/03/2012 10:36

 Thanks guys.

I have two general and four standing for a total of 36,000. I have 2.2 mil in cash. Should I save for the 6 mil to go up to pro or take one of the standings up to general now for 2 mil? 		15/03/2012 19:24

 If you don't start developing players early you will be screwed even with a good stadium. I agree with investing in stadium, but find juniors and start training them (buy the best coach you can, check every day for a better one, keep upgrading until you get at least 90% coach). I wouldn't spend a lot of cash on juniors early but i would continue to find ones for free and train them to find out their progression and fire the low progression, while keeping higher progression. Plus it helps you learn about training so when you have money and better progression juniors you know how the hell it works.
