had an easy win first up in the cup 60 odd points i think i was down at quarter time too, got a team next ranked around 430 so a good draw first up, not sure i want to go much further though cause it wrecked my minutes a little last season. I think the best way to make money though is hunt through the transfers and try to find a bargain. i brought a bloke last season for 1.05m and sold him 10 days later for 2m.
IN answer to Nugget i train 3 players, its not easy you have to pick and choose which player plays 48 min in which game and quite often something happens and all three dont get to 48. Like Iwen said they can pop if they dont get 48 but it rarely happens i had it happen 1 or 2 times last season. It seems to happen when a player hasnt popped in a while in a certain stat and he is really due for it.
