Welcome to the game Gar!!

For anyone starting off, there are a couple of pieces worth reading which will set you off on the right track. Even though it could take you a while to read through this, it will help you no end.

There is also a Help/FAQ section on the website which is also worth having a look through.

If you have any other questions after that then you can ask away here or in the Centre for Rookies section in the Community Forums.

Also note that the game is currently in the off-season, which will also be extended by at least 1 week due to the implementation of a new engine. So it could be another 3/4 weeks before the next season starts proper. But in the meantime you play a friendly or a challenge once a week.

Good Luck

cheers for the help lads. im going to start reading some of the threads in the rookie forum before i do anything drastic and already have a friendly in place for next week so should be useful to see how things work.
