[/p][p][/p][h2]Take care of transfers
[/h2][p]If a player on your books is not in your plans (or you simply don’t like them), mark them up for sale and let another poor club deal with them. [/p][p][/p][p]Have some cash to splash? At any time, you can look to sign new players either by listening to your scouts’ recommendations (more on scouts coming soon!) or trusting the good ol’ fashioned transfer book. Each player has two ratings - a number, and a star rating. These star ratings have a scale and are tiered via colour codes. As such, a one star of a higher tier will be better than a four star of a lower tier. Negotiate on wages, bonus pay, and whether you'll offer them training and a starting XI slot. [/p][p]
