Click the "?" when you got a question.  The answer is prolly in there.
First things first:
1.  Setup your lines.  Goto PLAYERS > LINES.  You can click the "?" for the guide.
You wanna have players with high ATTACK and SHOOT on forward,  and
high DEFENSE skill on defense.  You want guys with high GOAL skill playing goalkeeper.
Pretty easy huh?  Well,  here's the trick.
You gotta watch FORM and ENERGY.
High FORM is better than high skill.
Example,
15ATTACK,  100FORM  is better than 20ATTACK,  40FORM.
15ATTACK,  100ENERGY is better than 20ATTACK,  60ENERGY.
To get you started,  create 4 full lines with times of 60s each.
2.  Setup your training programs.  Goto PLAYERS > SCHEDULE.  Click the "?" for the guide.
3.  Setup your next game.  Goto TEAM > CALENDAR.  Click the "?" for the guide.
Well,  your pretty much set.  Everything else is gravey.
Now you wanna start building your team.
