Spend your cash on 'big picture' thingsīy and large, I would recommend spending your hard-earned (or not-so-hard-earned) CM$ and Coaching Funds on areas that will have a permanent effect. But don't worry – there's a fix for that.
(Half of which won't be able to get into the team, shredding their morale and meaning they're all morose and useless when they finally do get back into the team. It's worth having a few pet projects on the go, because ultimately it will work out cheaper than having a bloated squad of one-trick ponies eating up your wage budget. I would always go for, say, a 40-rated player who could play AM, AMR and MR over a 43-rated player who can only play AMR, which seems like a crazy move in a game that's such a stickler for player ratings as Championship Manager 17 is.īut remember that you can increase a player's ratings through player development. In order to give yourself options down the line, it's always preferable to purchase and develop players with a range of talents. A defensive midfielder will not thrive if given a box-to-box role, and an attacking left winger will struggle if asked to play a more conservative role, even on the left side of the pitch. This is particularly true in midfield, where there are three areas of expertise – defensive, normal or attacking – which speaks to how far up the pitch they like to play. Some players can only play in one fixed position, others are more versatile and can be shunted around the line-up without suffering a drop in performance. For this reason it's important to use formations that utilise the same types of player, so you can swap between them in mid-match without having to make too many substitutions.
Their names will appear red if they're a square peg in a round hole, yellow if they can 'do a job', or white if you've nailed it. It's vital that you avoid playing anyone out of position as much as possible, as it will severely hinder their performance. I went for a solid 4-2-3-1 as my main formation, collapsing into a defensive 4-4-2 during times of need, and expanding into an attacking variant of the 4-2-3-1 when I fancied putting on a show.
You'll need to invest in formation training to get the best performance out of your players, which is one of the reasons why the smartest move is to stick to two or three complementary formations and build your squad around them. There are 20 formations to choose from, ranging from your Mike Bassett 4-4-2 to more elaborate continental set-ups.

You are awarded money for wins and clean sheets after each match, so it pays to keep things tight and professional as much as possible, and not use a 3-0 scoreline as an excuse to blood your 18-year old centre-back (send them out on loan instead for the same benefits). A good way to do this is to keep an eye on the special challenges that appear from time to time, as these are easily achievable with a little elbow grease, and offer big rewards. The one thing both currencies have in common is that pretty much everything you can buy with them is expensive, so if you want to avoid dipping into your own pocket as much as possible, it's important to both spend your money carefully, and to maximise the amount of CM$ and Coaching Funds you accrue organically.
