How many seats do you recommend you expand by for the first time? Any other help much appreciated thanks Put in all the money you have and build VIP seats on one stand, but the one you already have. All the money ? If I have 300 000 $ in bank, I put the 300 000 $ on VIP construction ? It's not a risk for the faillite ? you can go up to 400k in debt before worrying (but dont risk it lol) but early on your sponsorship and a small friendly should easily cover your wages as a starting team (in fact, with a starting squad, and no new facilities / coaches etc you should be able to easily cover wages from weekly sponsorship) do your maths.. work out what your confident with. Wow ! -400 000$ I don't like to see my finance in the red. Since I started Grid, I have 6 players recruits, and my Defense, attack and fitness coach are on level 5. My doctor on level 3. I have 130 000 $ to depense for the wages. So after building VIP seats, I will on -130 000$ What's this is the limite of negatif bank ?

-400k is the absolute limit, stay under it for a week, and you will lose your team..

In my opinion you should not have any defense, attack, or doctors until you have fully built the VIPs. Fitness coaches are good and you should train only fitness to find your players caps. This will keep your wages low while you are a young team and allow you to find positions for your players. Only after you have maxed VIP/Exec and built the Fitness Center should you put money into coaches/doctors other than Fitness.

Only my opinion though.

I'd put any more money I got right into VIPs.

I increased my coach to improve more quickly my players. I forgot that wages are going to increase. But if I don't increase my coachs, then my players will improve more slowly, so I will be less strong than my opponent (by example if I up to Div4). Do you think I must to decrease my coach in level 1? Or too bad, what is made is made, I stay with the level 5.

When I started, I believe I did the same thing as you did. All Coaches at 5 and Doctors at 2. Then I realized it wasn't helping much, so I fired all coaches to 1, but moved Fitness to 20. As I said, it allows you to train fitness and not gain wages. It also allows you to build VIP & Exec seats faster (no wage increase), which will allow you to build the Fitness Center & Training Center faster. Once your TC is built and fully upgraded, your regular training will go VERY fast.

Ok, I will decrease my coach to level 1. Thanks.

Now that I've got all of my VIPs & Execs and built my Fitness & Training centers I'm training other things. I've got my coaches all at 20 (other than kicking coach). I still train new players in fitness first and get them to their caps. This helps weed out the guys that aren't going to be strong enough to play on the lines (for example).
