1) Bold textDo not spend any money until you know what you are doing.Bold text One of the common mistakes by newbies is to 'buy buy buy' without realising what is important in hatttrick. A lot of newbies end up wasting their money on upgrading their stadium, buying bad coaches (eg. Inad/Inad) and spending loads of money on just one player. Bold textItalic textDo not invest in your youth squad either.Bold textItalic text As a newbie, you are just throwing valuable money down the drain.

2) Bold textRead and understand the rules.Bold text This will prevent you from making any bad mistakes like above. The manager license requires you to do so, in order to complete the last five challenges. Do not cheat and second guess the answers until you have all correct. This will only give you a greater chance of making a mistake. The hattrick wiki, found under community can also be a useful read.

3) Bold textFamiliar yourself with your players.Bold text Check what skill rating is the best by clicking the link on any players skill. From this, you should be able to work out your best players. Any player with inad mainskill, (unless an experienced player) should be fired, and you should sell any players who have solid mainskill.

4) Bold textBuy a passable coach with poor leadershipBold text or a solid/poor leadership Bold textItalic textIf, and only if you can afford oneBold textItalic text with still being able to afford some trainees. Unless you decide to train goalkeeping, you probably won't. Bold textOnce you have some more money, and have your trainees, then you can upgrade to a solid/poor leadership.

5) In this game, your source of income is from trainees which you buy with the intention of training them up and selling them for a big profit. You should choose from the following:

Goalkeeping (can train 2 players) Defending (can train 10 players, (6 CD's and 4 wing backs)) Playmaking (can train 10 players (6 IM's and 4 wingers that recieve 50% training)) Winger or crossing (can train 8 players (4 wingers and 4 wing backs that will recieve 50% training)) Scoring (can train 6 players)

Bold textNB: Set training intensity to 100% and keep it thereBold text

6) Once you have decided, what you are going to train, you need to buy your trainees. The best trainees are 17yr olds, because you can train them for longer but 18 and 19yr olds are OK. There main skill should be passable but both inad/solid are fine, depending on what you can afford. It is better to get a passable pm with inad passing than a solid pm with no passing skills as they will sell for more.

Bold textNB If you decide to train playmaking, buy players with equal stamina, so you don't end up training stamina for one person.Bold text

7) You then need to choose your formation, based on what you are training.

Bold textGKBold text allows you to play any formation you want. Bold textDefenderBold text trainers should play 5 at the back, three CD's and 2 wingbacks, and formations advisable are 5-3-2 and 5-4-1. Bold textPMBold text trainers should play 5 in midfield, three IM's and two wingers and 3-5-2/4-5-1 are recognisable, thus should be played. Bold textWingerBold text trainers have to play a formation that lets them play 2 wingers and two wing backs. 3-5-2 and 4-5-1 are both recognisable and commonly used for this type of training. 4-4-2 can also be used. Bold textScorerBold text trainers would play 3 upfront and thus 3-4-3 or 4-3-3, which are recognisable should be used.

Bold textNB:- Remember not to play more than 3 in a central position. You can't have, for example 4 IM's as you will lose training. 4 CD's and 4 forwards will also lose you training.Bold text
