The first thing I'd say to you is that this game requires a lot of patience. It takes quite some time to get really competitive, though thankfully in Oceania you'll find it relatively easy to win some games at the lower levels.

The ideal thing is to sort out your finances and save up for stadium building. Organise friendlies by challenging other teams (grey button means they've aleady got a fixtue) or by advertising in the friendly ad section. Also, sort out a sponsor in the economy part of your club menu.

You'd only want to build on a stand with existing seaats if you have two weeks in a row of away league games, or during the offseason (as it takes 15 days for a stand to upgrade, regardless of how many new seats you're putting in). This is because you cannot use those stands while under construction (nothing worse than a home game with no income). Thankfully, you have three other empty stands as a rookie, so you can build on those straight away - they have 0 seats to use!

When you do expand your stadium, I'd recommend filling out the VIP and Executive seats first. These bring in more money per seat and crowds will still buy them if there are no other alternatives.

After you've got some significant cash flow, then you can look at what you're doing in regards to players. I'd recommend reading spilling the beans: http://www.grid-iron.org/community/viewt/15527

Covers most stuff, including what I've told you above.



As a side note, since you specifically asked. Get your finances sorted before coaching. You have to pay a new upfront fee every time you change your coaching levels, hence why it's most economical to get 20 coaching (in all categories except kicking, as that's seen as unnecessary cost) as a all in one go (or at most twice). As you can imagine, that's a significant amount of money upfront and in wages each week, so you want to be up and running properly before doing that.

Welcome. Lots of useful info in the rookie section.

Yes fri 4am (server time) each week you can select a youth.

Also read the FAQ/Help section. It will anser most of your questions.

So the situation is -

Damage are in the same situation as 2 seasons ago - it comes down to 1 game between them and the Bulldogs.

I have won my division
A bot will win division 3!

Has a bot ever been promoted to Div 1 b4? I wonder if we could lobby the devs to promote one of the human runners up of Div 2.1 or 2.2?

Pumpkins and Bulldogs just went bot!

Anyway, should be a good fight in Div 1 next season!

Damage and myself move up with 1 bot. 2 human teams will be relegated after next season and it should be an intense battle to try and not be one of those 2!
