TL:DR
IF WE WANT TO STAY COMPETITIVE AS A LEAGUE - EVERYONE OF YOU GUYS NEED TO INVEST IN STADIUM AND FANCLUB AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!!

---------

Hi fellow campaigners,

here is my financial report for this season.
I invested a lot in infrastructure and as you can see, the return of investment is pretty good.

Most important infrastructure in the game is stadium and fanclub, 'cause it's the fastest way to gain popularity and that directly translates to MORE MONEY!!!!

In addition i made profit every transfer-window.
Selling my low to mid range talent guys before the get too old.
I also try to sell key-players before the completely lose value, and turn 26-29years old.

When I'm buying new guys, than only when they are young and have more talent value than my lowest young players. I only buy players that gain value and can be sold with a profit in the future.

I have the problem that I don't have enough money to expand my stadium. I did expand my fanclub.

My problem is, in order to stay 'competitive' I have to invest in players who are able to be a valuable player as soon as possible.

I'm trying to invest in youth and stuff but that stays difficult.

a very cheap way to stay competitive is to loan players.
there are really good players that are available to loan every 1th transfer-window and its way cheaper than buying an old guy who can only play a couple of seasons before he gets bad.

and the money that is saved can be invested in stadium/fanclub and youth-center.

the problem is, you only get money if you have a big stadium (stadium 4 or 5 gives you already good income). once you got a solid income through your stadium its easier to build up your other infrastructure like youth-center and training-center.

Thanks for the advice.

How do I find decent loan players?

trueblue you made a mistake long time ago,you were kinda strong 2-3 seasons ago but now your player are too old and you are lacking in infrastructure... That's why Martin from 2nd league came here and now is 4th team in the league,for a good reason

I know. I'm going to chance things this season.

when transfermarket starts, you can search in you scout center.
first you should set up your search criteria.
set the first option on loan.
here > http://rockingsoccer.com/en/soccer/facilities/scout/settings

and then you find the results here:
http://rockingsoccer.com/en/soccer/facilities/scout/transferlist

set the scout regions to regions where the big leagues are.
you will find more, when you have better scout center (more regions)
if u want to, i cant scout for you and send you some linkgs to players cause i already got scout center 7.

you'll also find playes in the transfer forum.

I totally agree with Kosmo's first post.
Stadium is the most important think EVER.

Also loaning players is a good way to increase squad strength for a season if you fear your team is too weak. Buying old players can be OK, but they cost lots of money that could be better spend on stadium (stadium IS very expensive - but a necessity, so you may need to save up some money).

Also your youth players are important. Those guys will be the backbone of your squad. Try to pick the good ones to keep and sell the others.

And selling your tickets is cumbersome but important. I have VIP and I can sell all my tickets with a click on "advertise match". But before that I also had to post in the Ticket Thread in the Forum. It is tedious and not fun, I agree, but it really really helps to increase your income.

You can also just click on a few leagues and go to results and buy their tickets and leave a return link if you don't want to write boring stories in the Ticket Thread.

Popularity defines how strong a club is on the long run. Remember that players will fade - they get older and get weaker and leave your club. Popularity stays forever.

Too lazy to post my financial report,because i need to seperate all..long story short stadium 20 000 is done for 3 days,immediate after it young lvl 8 is on the way and after it training complex 9 too... followin up with fan shops aswell

I agree with Kosmos post.
But also never set a too high goal for your Team. Otherwise you need to spend all your monay in players. My goal is to stay in league 1 now for some seasons. so i not need a lot of good players and can spend my Monay in infrastructur.

I always looking for cheap young players even if they have a bad skill like "fragile". You see it on my 2 strong players i bought last season. just bought for 700k around. and now worth 1.5M - 2.5M.
