April Fool's Day joke

Set the system date to April 1st and advance the in-game date also to April 1st. You will get a message stating your board is willing to offer you £500 million in transfer funds and a new season. Accept it to find out it is a joke by the game's developers.

Easy money

Use the following trick to make money as well as develop players. First, put a player on the Transfer List that CPU's teams are interested in. When they make an offer, reduce it to £0, then put a buy back clause of £1,000. Scroll down and enter a clause "After League Appearance - 1" then increase that to the amount that they offered. Once the player makes his debut for the team, you will get the money and can then buy him back for £1,000. Note: This is especially useful for youth players, as it allows you to earn money from them while being able to get them when they develop for almost nothing and also saves the wages.

Easy wins

Create a custom player and add them to your opponents team. Select "Quick Tactics". Set all of your opponent's players to attack. Place an arrow from the goalkeeper to the striker. You should win easily.

Recommended players

Search for a team called Poli 21. They have lots of excellent players who are very cheap, and they score quite a few goals. Also, try the following players.

Kevin Doyle (Reading)
Robbie Keane (Tottenham)
Kasper Schemichael (Man City)
Elano (Man City)

Try the following Hibernian squad.

Steven Fletcher (quality striker scored 35 goals in 45 games)
Fillip Morais (amazing attacking right, left, or center)
Alan O'brien (good winger left)
Lewis Stevenson (good left back or left center midfield)
Merouanne Zemamma (great midfielder)
David Murphy (quality left back)
Chris Hogg (good center half)

Try the following players.

Sergio Aguero (pacey striker, usually hits net, bit of an Anelka sometimes)
Jonathan De Guzman (versatile midfielder)
Ever Banega (next big thing of Argie football)
Andres Guardado (Mexican left winger, needs season to settle)
Alexandre Pato (well known but still a wonderkid)
Henri Saivet (wonderkid like Pato, fast)
Joao Moutinho (good for first season if you create a team. Then sell him to a villa, etc.)
Andrea Luci (expensive to get but worth it)
Ricardo Montolivo (creative midfielder)
Cristian Zapata (Strong defender, has a tendency to do a Titus Bramble every so often)
Maatiaz Fernadez (plays for Chile, rotation attacking mid)
Javi Matinez (wonderkid but not that rated as should be)
Igor Akinfeev (keeper but have to spend money to get him)
