Extra money
Set the salary of your worst player to £99.9 million.
Spend all of your funds and the board will begin to complain.
Release your player and you will have millions of pounds.
If another team offers for one of your players, "consider"
the offer. Then, set the value of that player as high as desired.
The other team will then bid all the cash they have for this player.
If you really want to rub it in, after they have made their huge
bid, set the player's value to £0. He will then be sold every
other week or so and never play. The downside to this is that
you will never be able to re-sign players you have sold in this
manner.
Lose all your money by signing bad players on huge contracts.
Take out a loan that you can only just repay. Give everyone a
£1 million win bonus, but value your worst player at £99.999
million. When you hit minus money, the game will automatically
sell him for that, leaving you with loads to play with. This is
tough to do in the Premiership, but works well in the conference.
Placing good players
Keep the basic 4-4-2 but with a few adjustments. Move
the full-backs wider than they start. There is nothing you can
do to make the central midfielders play better in this game, no
matter who they are. To make the team more secure, move them back
a bit though to protect the defence. If you have some valuable
CMs (without a good power stat) sell them and buy a couple of
16-year old South American ones because they play no worse.
