Ordered by importance:
Commandment 1: Money rules everything. Do everything efficiently. Don't overpay for players, don't overspend on your weekly expenses for no need, don't pay for staff you don't need, don't hang onto a player just cause you like them. Finish your arena and acquire anything that boosts your income early. Do the bare minimum required to accomplish your goal. Understand how much money you need to accomplish your goals.
Commandment 2: Patience, Patience, Patience. I'm going to say this right now, and many will not like it. Most goals in this game take 3-5 years (12-20 seasons) to accomplish. If you rush, you will fail. If you make bad decisions, you will fail. If you get distracted and quit, you will fail. It's a simple commandment but many don't understand how critical it is.
Commandment 3: Have a goal. Whatever you are doing in BuzzerBeater, have a goal in mind. Have a goal for the future and have a goal for each season. Wanna win in Division 1, train a NT player, make Division 2, figure out how long that will take and how to get there. Everything you are doing must in some way bring you closer to accomplishing this goal. Do not do things which do not bring you closer to your goal.
Commandment 4: Plan aggressively. Plan out your minutes for the week and the lineups you wanna run. Plan out when you will transfer players and what kind of players you want to buy. Plan out your finances seasons ahead of time. I planned out about 5 seasons ahead in terms of training and roster moves in an excel doc.
Commandment 5: Understand the game. Learn the best tactics, training methods, minute management. Read as many guides as you can. Talk to as many people as you can. Get their thoughts and opinions and expand your intellect. Without knowledge you won't know the correct way to accomplish any of the other commandments on this list.
Commandment 6: Scout your league. Know what other teams are doing or what their goals for the season might be. Watch their transfers, check when they log in, what tactics they run, what guesses they make, screenshot their players when they are listed on the TL, know whether they are profitable or not, know everything you can.
Commandment 7: Scout your country. You thought knowing about your league was enough, no. Know who has a lot of money saved up. Know who is planning a big run and is training national team players. By doing so you know what you have to do to surpass them or if they are ahead of you. I cannot stress the importance of talking with other active members on the Discord/Forums and getting to know them.
Commandment 8: The Transfer List is a stock market. Learn trends. Learn when the market is up and when it is down. What time in the day, which day of the week, which week of the season certain trends occur. Learn which players sell for a lot and which sell for a little. Buy low sell high. Track when important players hit the market.
Commandment 9: Don't be afraid to pivot. All plans are subject to change. Sometimes a player might become available on the TL that makes you get rid of a long time piece on your team. Sometimes another league mate is threatening your promotion and will make you pay for an extra player to reach your goal. You know the old saying "We plan, god laughs"; it applies. Things will happen that are unexpected, evaluate them and change course if needed.
Commandment 10: Make Friends and build relationships. It's a game. I would never have continued playing this game alone. Watch games with others, talk about tactics, builds, game planning. Don't do this alone, you'll want to quit.
