2 tips:
1- don't buy sell or do anything that cost money before a bit of reading
2- get HO, available at http://www.hattrickorganizer.net/ it will help you understand the mechanichs of the formations.

Tubby Rower · 26-06-2007, 12:23

I would recommend you setting your training to "Stamina" since you don't have but one game and most of your current squad needs some stamina.

Here is what I came up with after looking at your team

Inner Midfielder (IM) - main skill is playmaking but stamina, passing, & defending are important too

Charles Eason (solid playmaking, & inadeq. passing)
Trent Mays (passable PM & inadequate winger could play him as a winger)
Vernon Dumas (passable PM, inadeq. passing)
Wade Sample (passable PM & inadeq. defending)

Forward - scoring is most important

Davis Jeremy (solid scoring & passable passing)

Central Defender (CD) - defending is tops with passing being important too

Duane Saldana (solid defending, inadeq. passing & inadeq. PM means you could play him as an offensive CD
Floyd Brown (passable defending with solid SP)
Justin Noyes (solid defending)
Ronny Baker - (solid defending, inadeq passing)

[u]pretty much useless</u>
Christopher Whitaker - good passing but useless since that's a secondary skill & he's too old to train
Don Michaud - could be a make-shift winger until you get someone better
Emanuel Brown - he's your coach and you can't do anything about it... yet
Fredrick Moody - inadequate passing again is useless without a main skill
James Shultz - inadeq. scoring and winger could be played as a forward or offensive winger, but not too good
Jimi Mize - He's you GoalKeeper, but he sucks and you probably want to get another one
José Vivas - another player who could pass the ball but isn't too hot any where else
Ken Wiggins - just fire him post-haste
Travis Dahl - just inadequate passing and not much else

Tubby Rower · 26-06-2007, 12:27

one big thing is don't rush... you have some time to get things ready for next season. Jsut attempt to complete those challenges as quickly as possible since that will give you ~ $300k.

Robboo · 26-06-2007, 12:55

looks like based on tubbys list you need a keeper and another forward. dont rush. Also once you decide on a training program you can hire a bunch of trainees. If I was you I would decide that fairly quickly so you can get a week of stamina on those guys before training.

You could train keeper...fairly straight forward.

socralynnek · 26-06-2007, 13:00

I also will take a look at your players, but I guess Tubby knows what he writes...

General tips:
-Don't waste money, in the beginning you won't earn much (especially as you will have two weeks withouth league matches)
-There are two income sources: Matches and training, therefore make a friendly every week, that will also help your players form.

-I still think (although the prices have gone down there too), that training goalkeepers is a good point to start from. You buy two young (17 or 18 years old) cheap keepers (with keeping skill probably inadequate or better, depends on the price), let both play one game per week as keeper and set training to Goalkeeping.
They train pretty fast andtherefore youc an sell someone quite soon. Other trainings last longer but train more people, but are maybe more difficult to plan.

-Try to win some league matches, that will increase your fan club and thus the number of people paying entrance to your home games.

-Ask questions. I guess there are no stupid questions. HT is not real life football(soccer), the engine works a little different, but rather easy to understand the main principles.

-Don't increase or decrease your stadium, it's quite expensive and you don't need to touch it for some time.

-Don't open a youth squad academy. It costs money and it is rather complicated to do. As you can't close it fast again, you'd have to waste money there for some time.

Mistfit · 26-06-2007, 13:06

And welcome to HT

Tubby Rower · 26-06-2007, 14:46

I would advocate trying to train forwards. You don't have but one and you could sell him since he's not a good trainee due ot his age, although one spot wouldn't hurt.

reasons for
- fans come quicker when you score more goals and win games. (more fans = more seats sold)

reasons against.
- money for starting up (you need 6 forwards to make the most of your training time) - here is the list of recent 17yo that had solid scoring (although passables are averaging ~ $6k)

20.49 KB

I did GK training when I started up, and I had to wait for almost a whole season before I was able to upgrade any of my outfield players. One thing that you could do it go with GK training at for a half a season and get a couple young passable GK and train them up to excellent. That should be great for div VI. I think that passable GK's are about the norm except for GK trainers.

socralynnek · 26-06-2007, 14:55

But on the other hand, you only need two goalkeeping trainees, which could mean, you have money directly to improve the outfield, I mean, there are a lot of useful old players with experience for 10K or so around...
