For trainees or transfer list: You can do whatever you want, a lot of how you start out is just whatever you want to do. Personally, I would try to get lucky in the draft (there are only a few active teams in your league, especially lower than you), and just nab a "secondary" trainee or a player that can be a good starter, your choice.

A good rule of thumb for the arena is build towards the next division. Other managers with actual softcap numbers could probably tell you more exactly, but look at teams in the division above you and work towards that. As long as you can fill the arena, more seats = more income, and can be a huge advantage early in the game.

As an extra note, manage your GS and enth. Most lower level managers don't understand or care about them, and a group of scrubs with those things can beat teams that are otherwise far better.

Thanks for the tips!
What's the best way to scout players? If I pick the "Scouting Combine", do I still need to scout a player 2 times to get full stats?

First it is scout, then interview. Here is what the game manual says:

Scouting Combine: Every player in the upcoming draft class will show up to be measured. You can send a scout to the combine to learn the ages and heights of all 48 players in the upcoming draft class.

Scouted once: Your scouts have seen this player play one game, and have provided the player's boxscore for that game. They are now able to give a more accurate assessment of his current skills. Scouting a player uses 1 scouting point.

Interviewed: Your scouts have invited this player to a workout at your team's facilities. Along with all of the information you have learned from the initial scouting, you now have a very good understanding of this player's current skills (grade rating) and potential abilities. You also discover how tall the player is and whether he is 18 or 19 years old. Interviewing a player uses an additional 2 scouting points.

Yes but does the Scout Combine count as scouted once?

Why did you have to PM it? Maybe the rest of us wanted some Portuguese tips...

I have 1757 players for sale and I'm $25,835,360 in debt. Buy them at outrageous prices, or be selfish and make me go bankrupt. You decide, BB.

....

You read correctly. I just wanted a Portuguese insight into the game...in Portuguese. Not that I'm fluent in anything other than English...using sarcasm is apparently lost on me as well...
