Your Club is only as strong as the ability of
your players. Sell players that you do not want
in your club. To do that, click on the name of
the player in your club. Your agent will get to
work immediately and find you the best
deal! However, he will want you to pay him well.
He will request a commission on the evaluation of
the player on top of a basic payment. Eg. Mr
Ravi can find a buyer for Ronaldo at 23000000.
He wants a commission of 2540 and 3 of the
transfer fee. Find his total income.
Total Payment Basic (Commission / 100) x

Your Club is only as strong as the ability of
your players. After selling some of your fringe
players, you might want to invest on a superstar
to boost the strength of your team. To do that,
click on the name of the player in another
club. The club will propose an acceptable price
above the players current evaluation. If you
enter a bid below the clubs proposal, your bid
will be rejected. However, if you bid above the
clubs proposal, the board will not be too
happy. Eg. Milan agrees to sell Kaka at 24 above
his current evaluation of 22000000. Correct
answer (100 24) / 100 22000000

Preparing the team for Match Day is
crucial! Teams fly from one city to another to
play against their opponents. As manager, you
have a dilemma. If you fly too early, your
players will get tired and restless by the time
the match starts. If you set off too late, your
team may be upset and flustered by all the
rush. If you get the timing just right, the team
arrive just in time amidst all the fans cheers
for the pre-match conference and will be charged
up for the match. Eg. The team's private plane
flies at a constant speed of 500 km/h. The
destination city is 1500 km away. If the team
must be at the destination airport for the
pre-match conference at 1500 hrs. What is the
latest time for the plane to take off?

Your coaching staff is critical to players
training. As manager, you are expected to inform
the coaches on your assessment of the players
performance to help the coaches design a training
program to help a player improve. If your
assessment is accurate, the training program will
be highly effective and the ability of the player
will improve. If your assessment is inaccurate,
his ability will drop Eg. Soccernet rates the
last 5 performance of Rooney as 7, 8, 9, 9, 6.
Find the average performance score.
