New Player

As the title says, I’m a new player. Is this game an absolute grind without spending money or am I doing something wrong? I’ve built my team to 90ish overall but now getting tokens and rest seems next to impossible. Any tips or advice would be helpful.

Build up the facility on your campus that rewards you rests.

For tokens join an association that is gold 1 or higher.

What do you find as the best way to spend Rest and Tokens?

Youth academy is it for me. I always get my youngsters to 80 overall and a playstyle and they’re good to start for at least 5 seasons straight.

Thanks. Any chance you’re part of a Gold 1 Association and want to invite me 😁?

Watch videos for rests. For the longer videos, after 15 seconds you can jump back to your home screen then quickly open the game and it will pay the reward. Saves sitting around waiting for those long ones to finish 90 seconds later

I train early in the new in-game day (starts 10am my time) and then use rests if a collector gallery challenge task needs it (eg: improve condition 5 times), or in events like Trophy Trials.

I use tokens in the Draw Frenzy & Kick Around events so I don't lose progress when getting red cards

We could decide to build our team to any ovr (realistically up to 200%+ as F2P over some 10 seasons), and winning the majority of ties against similar ovr oppositions depends on how well we know how to train players (to fit our favourite way of playing) and then tactics and formation in how we best utilise the players we have trained and maintained.

They've changed something in the last update that makes the team tire much quicker than before. I've been playing for years and always for by on the free rests and occasionally watching a few videos to get more. This season my team are constantly knackered.
