Nothing dramatic about being on last place after first match. I saved some players for euro match including keeper and 0-0 means it was worth it as additional particle of Austrian and my club's euro ranking. In Q2 very probably some younger prospects will earn some additional experience as next opponent is presumably much stronger and will not give chances for point. It was already surprise to get first opponent "edible", being team without ranking.
Now the surprisingly long euro trip of club that should never qualify to Europe is over :D 2 wins and 3 draws were much more than expected. Time to pay full attention to league and maybe cup.
You have to understand whether your team intends to train its own players or buy stars to play scores? If you are planning to train your own players, I want to say that your facility level is too low, at least level 14 or above. If you want to buy a star, you must have at least 7 primary attributes, and if you want to win the championship, you must have at least 8 primary attributes.
FA3 is my next plan, just little bit missing of its money. I got my stadium ready less than week ago and bigger money just has started to climb towards me :D . So I'm staying more like buy-in-team as serious youngsters start from YA4 nowadays, it would take more than year to build all of that and financially it would be struggle for me. Growing YA1 players for sale is more stable income than risking with farming some bought-in crap and even with those players I should hover some time between two leagues area.
Main problem is currently lost form of my offensive part.
Buying players needs to buy those that are very helpful to the team, otherwise it is a waste of money. If you really don’t know what players to buy, you can buy my players, at least they can be guaranteed to be the top in Austria league.
Got a moment of enough money and now it's 2 months waiting of FA3. It means that bigger investments into new players must wait at least to middle of TW when some players will be sold. It will be struggling seasons anyway ahead, relegation through playoffs would bring just more radical changes in squad. Surely some youngsters will reach to first team, I have to buy someone to forward position as currently it's my weakest part and I have always been fan of offensive-minded football: try to score more than opponents do. Previous season it worked strangely and I tried to give away some points to avoid euroleague qualification- that ironically turned to be surprisingly successful ride.
But currently I'm probably poorest club in top 2 leagues :D and tomorrow's league match will multiply my budget a lot :)
