FIFA 12 Pointers
iPad version
*PLEASE READ FROM TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND CERTAIN PARTS*
-**************Do not change the formation or do not play players in the position that they do not play in ************
= If you do change the formation, I suggest the 4-1-2-1-2 and only change the position of the player if it makes the plyer better
- Scouting
= Scout defensemen in england and italy
= Scout midfielders in spain and "rest of world"
= Scout forwards in england and germany
= Scout goalies in germany and americas
= When scouting make sure that you sign players OVER the overall (number in star) of 70, make sure these players are 21 years old and younger
= When scouting always scout for what you need most not what you dont need
= When scouting always scout at a "deep search" **
= When scouting make sure that your scout is at 10
- Transfers
= To find good players for transfers you should look at other teams lineups and only buy players that are over 80 and younger then 27, to look at lineups you click on the other teams logo and see what players they have
= If they are to expensive add them to the shortlist
= To sell players make sure that the player is under 83 and older then 30
= To make sure that younger players (players that you just scouted or that are 21 and younger get better) get better you put them on loan. You put players on loan in the same place where you sell them. Don't worry you wont lose your player he comes back at the end of the year
= Recommended Players (see what fits to your needs/where your team is weak and for the budget of your team)

- Upgrading Staff
= To upgrade staff go to the "manage club" section of your menu and *upgrade the staff. No matter what always make your scout to 10 and your negotiator 8 and up. Your medical staff should be high as well
- Discipline
= You should be getting a maximum of 8 fouls a game and 1 booking (card) a game. Red cards should only be taken when an opposing player is on a breakaway.
- Training
= Train your players at the beginning of the year, do all the sections for each position once. Do them every 2nd day.
- Contracts
= At the beginning of the year when you get an email saying "review your contract alerts", go to the manage team section of the menu and click on the contract alerts section. Renew all contracts unless the player is old (in that case you would sell that player)!
* Players 18-24 = 5 year contracts (you could sell them if they don't pan out
* Players 25+ = 2-4 year contracts (depending on how good they are)
* Players 75 and under overall = 28,500$ and less (depending on how good they are and their market value) – salary
* Players between the overall of 76-80 = 30,000$ - 35,000$ – salary
* Players between the overall of 81-85 = 36,000$ - 44,000$ – salary
* Players between the overall of 86-90 = 45,000$ - 85,000$ – salary
* Players with an overall of 90 and more = 90,000$ and up – salary
* Only use the percentage section of a contract in transfer negotiations to get the player to buy in, never give higher then 10%

- Board Expectations
= Do what it says, it is given to you at the beginning of the year and repeated half way through the year, it might occur that the expectations change half way through the year. The expectations are always available to see in the main screen, it is the blinking mail.
