that sounds amazing compaired to what i've been through. 3 of my mates are all pulling their hair out as well. how did you manage to buy all of those stars, gourcouff and the like when you got promoted? almost everyone gets in a -25m balance after promotion to serie a.

Well, I wasnt in the best financial shape either when I got promoted, I was some also some 15-20 mil € in debt.

However, I didnt buy anyone except vanden borre in the first season so I didnt lose money on transfers. Also, when choosing a feeder club I chose a club from Japan to increase my merchandising presence there, so I guess that helped as well. In my second season I chose a club from the US and last season (my first Serie A season) i made 50 mil € from merchandising alone.

Also, I sold a few players. Sold Camo for 15 mil €, sold Blasi, Kapo, Tacchi, Mico, Sculli... etc, all in all I made 33 mil € from transfers.

I had aborund 13 mil € to spend on players, so I bought Gourcuff for some 13.5 mil € over 24 months and Marcelo for some 11 mil € over 24 months.

That was it. I won my first 7 games, and was on top from the start to the end of the season. In January after my finances had improved the board gave me some more money and I bought Lucas (10 mil €) and Gonzalo (9 mil €).

Now Juve is almost as good as they have ever been, the bookies have made me favourite to win bothe the Seire A and CL.

So yes, it's all been done fairly, no cheating whatsoever involved :)

Cool.
When do you get to choose feeder clubs? at any time, at the end of the season?

You make a board request to find you a feeder club. After a few weeks they come back with a list of clubs from which you can chose which one you want. You can look for new feeder clubs every 5 or 6 months.

Can you keep adding feeders? Or can you just have one and change it?

In real life, don't clubs use feeders to buy players who don't have a work permit/EU passport and then they get "sold" to the big club once they get their passport?

It'd be nice if you could do that in this version. There's so many young Brazilians I'd like to buy, but the non-EU rule is killing me.
