Basicly you should know: its all about the money!
that means you have to keep an eye on your Bank account.

At first you need to set your lineup! A league match takes place almost every day at 3:00 pm. So the first match might come sooner as expected and a match without lineup means default loss. You can find the league scheduling on the game scheduling.

Also you should always try to keep a positive Bank account. You can find the financial details in your bilance at *Office->Bilance*. There are difference ways to increase your Bank account:

*Sponsors are the easiest way to earn credits you can look for aviable sponsors at *Office->Sponsors*.

*Your visitors are probably the most efficient source of income, that means you should always enlarge your stadium properly (each sector beeing enlarged cant be used while it is in constructing status).Hint: Participating in a friendly game of a team with a grand stadium is useful if your stadium isnt enhanced that much!

*The environment also offers some interesting sources of income so dont forget about it *Office->Environment*.

After finishing the financial issues you should take care of your team.

• The staff Now you should employ staff for your team but take care, too expensive staff can ruin your team in the beginning.Hint: Read further information before.
