Football Manager 2023 is a game in the surprisingly popular genre of football management simulation. As to be expected, it is part of the Football Manager series, in which players take control of their football team and bring them to victory and all sorts of financial success.
There are many players who will be able to immediately take to the game; however, there will also be people who may not be as lucky or as skilled. There are some beginner tips that every player should know before they dive into the game and experience it for themselves.
7 Forgetting About Youth Intake
Youth intake is very useful for a player looking to recruit for their team - especially if they are struggling to find people in other ways. However, despite this, there are still players who will not be used to the youth intake function, and may miss out on using it.
Youth intake day is the day when many new characters will start to enter the club that the player made for their team. Some of these characters have the potential to be huge helps to the player's team (such as having very high stats in somewhere the player is struggling in), so it is best to get excited for youth intake day.
6 Not Realizing A Player Can Train
Training is, of course, going to be extremely important for a player who wants to get good at the football part of the game Football Manager 2023. Although, this is still going to be important for anyone - the better their team performs, the more money they will make.
A player can choose to let their assistant manager handle the training, or they can do it themselves. The benefits of a player setting up training is that, although it takes a bit of extra time, it will be much more worth it, as a player can tailor training for their team to make them skyrocket.
5 Not Making A Tactic
The term tactic may seem a bit misleading at first, so there are going to be a lot of players who may not realize just what they have to do when it comes to this. Essentially, tactics are used for the way a player's football team plays in matches - such as being more aggressive, defensive, or something in between.
It is worth trying out as many tactics as a player feels in order to figure out what will work best for their team. Of course, there is no one size fits all tactic, but playing aggressively may work in one team, and defensively may work for another.
4 Taking A Hands-Off Management Approach
It may be tempting to be a hands-off manager. This means that a player lets their assistant manager be the one who deals with a lot, and they just simply rake in the money.
While it is a valid tactic for some players, it would be much better for a player to be hands-on with their management of their football team in the game Football Manager 2023. This will be so that they can make sure everything goes exactly to plan, and correct any mistakes.
3 Blowing The Budget
This is going to be a very easy pit for a player to fall into, but one that will severely affect game play if a player messes it up big time. The player's budget is not something to mess around with.
If a player has no money, they will not be able to do much of anything. This includes recruiting new players, as well, so it is always best to ensure that a player at least has some money on hand.
2 Forgetting About The Wonderkids
The Wonderkids are the real superstars that a player should be looking for, so it is surprising that many people will end up outright forgetting they exist. Essentially, the Wonderkids are the real standouts that a player will be able to encounter.
The prices of being able to hire Wonderkids will vary greatly - this can range from being fairly reasonable, to costing almost half the player's budget if not more. However, it is always worth it to get them.
1 Not Getting An Affiliate Club
The affiliate clubs are going to be some of the player's best ways to make money, yet there are still people who may not even realize how important it is. Additionally, a player who partners with a senior affiliate can get players with decent talent without cost.
Although the amount of bonuses that a player gets from their affiliates will be different based on how far along they have progressed, it is still important for a player to get an affiliate as soon as possible. They will be able to get new members very easily, and thus be able to make even more money in the long run.
