10) Your keeper/goalie might be the most important out of all of your players.
If you have a great goalkeeper, that’s the best chance you have of not giving up any goals. If you have a crap goalkeeper but a good defense, that’s still a bad deal if your defense lets the attackers by, and they end up with a good shot on goal. While you want to avoid having to make your defenses work too hard in the first place, spend your coins on a goalkeeper, a rare gold one if you have to or even a special one.
9) How to make a profit in the transfer market
Go to the market and look for players to buy, then look at their market prices. Buy a player on the low end of the market price, do some last-second low bids, etc. Then auction them off for slightly higher prices. You want to focus on volume rather then on profit per player, because you want to keep the speed of the purchases and sales high.
8) Plan ahead to make a huge profit in the transfer market.
St. Patricks Day is the time when everyone wants an Irish player, and everyone will be willing to pay a premium, so start some months before St. Pat’s Day. Start loading up on Irish players, and then when the frenzy begins, start unloading them onto the auction market and watch how much of a price premium that they command.
7) Use the transfer market as your best shot at building a gold team with perfect chemistry.
Know who you want to look for and know their background – what nationality, what league and what team they play for (what team is the most important). Start searching by any metric you can in the transfer store (nationality, team, position etc, everything but team) and load up. Then go and find the right staff such as coaches, who match by the same metric as well.
6) Look for the rarest cards in the transfer store as well.
This includes team of the week cards, rare (shiny) versions of gold, silver or bronze cards, players for the world cup hero teams, or even the ever elusive special players and (if they ever end up getting added into the game) the legends players. Search by the same metrics here and you will find them.
