Extra money

Set the salary of your worst player to ?99.9 million. Spend all of your funds and the board will begin to complain. Release your player and you will have millions of pounds.

Placing Good Players

Keep the basic 4-4-2 but with a few adjustments. Move the full-backs wider than they start. There is nothing you can do to make the central midfielders play better in this game, no matter who they are. To make the team more secure, move them back a bit though to protect the defence. If you have some valuable CMs (without a good power stat) sell them and buy a couple of 16-year old South American ones because they play no worse.

Recommended teams

The best team to choose when first starting include Arsenal, Chelsea, Leeds, Liverpool, and Manchester United.

Recommended players

Goal keepers: Buffon and Abbiati

Forwards: Ravanelli, Sergio, Owen, and Trezeguet

Defenders: Carragher, Woodgate, Gavin, and Kaladze

Midfield: Maresca, McPhail, Ambrosini, and Fiore

Easy Money

Choose a club that has high transfer money and loan money, such as Manchester United or Liverpool, Loan out about ?50 to 70 million and set the repayment date to 12 months. Your transfer money would now be around ?74 million. Next, buy some good players such as Zidane, Del Piero, and Figo, who are priced heavily by their clubs. You should then have around ?5 to 10 million remaining for your transfer money. Price any unwanted/bad players at ?55 million or above and wait

a few months. Your transfer money should decrease every month. At some point, you will not have enough transfer money to pay up. A message will appear stating that your team has been forced to sell one of those unwanted players for ?55

million in a bid to support their financial crisis. You now should have about ?32 million in transfer money (some of it was used to pay a bit of your loan). You can now buy more good players or repeat the cycle again to get some more money.
