Got a new team. What now?

It's been a while since i started this game. And i remember the first 3 season when i was strugling in the 3 div or so. Lots of bad moves for me... GEtting back to business: if you have a new team and you want to be competiteve starting with your 3rd season you should:

1. Get down to the national forums. This is the best piece of advice i can give you, and by far the most valuable. The local community can be the sollution of every problem you have. So go there early and try to familiarise yourself with the guys and the topics there. If you have a question most probably they will give you an answer. (guess this isn't helpfull as most of you got my link from the forums :PPP)

2. Transform your Club in a U17 squad. Go young. Draft as much as you can, if posible every week. Search on the TL for good 15 years old guys that you can buy with prices between 100-500k. Search for efficient players (for forwards 1.90-2.00 height, +5 reb, +5def.+5foot,the rest as low as posible so you get a better price; for guards 1.70-1.85, +5 def, +5 dri, +5 pas,+spe, foot and reb as low as posible) Get 5 players like this and put them in the starting line for 40 mins. Having a total of 8 playable guys is better , in order not to get walkovers. You will lose, and lose bad at the begining, but the guys will quickly go up.

3. Don't spend money on oldies at the begining. In your first year you should not buy any +17 players. They will increase your payroll, and you will not be able to draft youngsters and also you might make the wrong decisions regarding skills. It's better to study the market and also the forums for the first season.

4. Keep your expences low. It is most advised to get a coach +20 to both training schedules as soon as posible. You should stack some for this. Try and arange as many friendlies as you can, you can challege my team, i got a preatty big fan club, or any other team in your top div). Regarding stadium i would like someone to help as i am not able to give any advices, i stoped working on my stadium a while ago. Don't use medical center or dev league now.

5. As the second season starts you should continue the aquisition of 15 year old guys, and also if posible you can sell some of the old crop for good money. Sell 1 or 2 players in order to get some money for coaches and also buy better 15 year talent. Also at this point or either in the 3rd season you cans tart concerning about winning. Get some veteran role players, but not more than 3. Spend the playing time between these 3 and the rookies. Get a heavy rebounder and a solid scorer, this should be enough fr now to promote to the next div. Promotion will mean more weekly money, sometimes alot mroe money :P.

6. Repeat the thing with selling one player and buying 2-3 talents every year, untill your team becomes competitive. At a point you'll be lured by the top veterans 27-30 of age at minimal prices. I advice you not to buy any of them. becuase they will hurt your expenses and also cut the playing time of the rooks. Patience is the key, because when the 15 generation will turn 19 most of them will be U19 internationals and also they will have bug price tags. So waiting pays of.

That's kind of it for now. There only general advices, but i hope for some of you they will usefull. I want to remind you also about the request of helping me with the tutorials.
