What does it take to get double-deluxe academies? How do you sustain this? What’s it like?
Achieving such task takes time. How on earth do you build towards such expensive constant investment from the beginning? Personally, it takes 5-6 seasons of fun prize-money distribution, rising through the divisions, and playing the game right. This article separates [...]

There is a lot of talk on the FTP forums of the ‘golden generation’.
These are the players who go into the U19 world cup (which runs every 2 seasons) as 19 year olds as opposed to 18 year olds. As you might expect, to play in the world cup as an 18 year old, a [...]
These days youths get a bad rap. The days of the $600k capable 19 year old are receding firmly into the memory of even experienced veterans and increasingly having a top quality youth set-up is seen as an extravagance that can be ill afforded.

This is based on my personal experience, I’m sure others have found their own ways but this is mine.
At the beginning, I was poorish, with 70-100k and it was only boosted by abit. All my competition were on the low ends of divisions.
I generally keep my players, and especially the ones that perform for my [...]
An important aspect of the transfer market is being able to value players effectively, so that each time you list someone you don’t need to run over to the Player Valuations board. The aim of this article is to help you to value most of your players by yourself, even though there will be the odd player that [...]
