If I can't fire him before 0400 and no-one else outbids me the 3 players I've bid for with a combined $150,000 wage bill will wipe me out. I'm not moaning but perhaps clear message on day one from Admin in the inbox would avert this. Mac

No fear, economic update happens on Wednesday morning, so you have a week to drop those high wage player(s) before it hurts you. The only time you're stuck with a 3 hour window is on players you win on Tuesdays.

You can fire a player instantly, lesson learned

The lesson is not that new teams should keep away from the transfer market, but that new teams should look at wages.

I have played the market since I first joined GI but I had read Spilling The Beans TWICE before I did. Some sound advice and presently my wages are 220k and home games make me 1.2m

Best hints:

Play friendly every week (at a ground holding 10-15k)
Always check your sponsors are selected
Only buy players whose wage is less than 5k
Chuck every spare penny into your ground
Hire coaches once- when you can afford all those you want
And if you have any 4.5* players advertise and sell them
And finally train only physicals

This should put you in good stead

Not really
I d say buy coaches in 2 chunks.
why waste money when u re groping to find caps.
for instance 20 fitness or 20 fitness+ 20 def/20att hired initially
and the rest later
