The key to this game as far as I see it is:-

1) Keep your costs as low as possible, for example I'm quite happy with my 67 and 70% physio/psych.
2) Build a stadium with as high an income as possible. Don't be stingy with your pro/vip seats.
3) Youth team, get high progression ones and train them day and night. When the first batch matures and you sell them on, then you can start filling in those positions you're not training.
4) Senior team, if you're not training a position then you don't need young, high forecast players.
5) Don't sell your players cheap. If you're still training them and they're still going up in average nicely, then don't be tempted to cash in on them now. Cash in when they're getting hard to raise averages in. For example a 72 RW goes for about 80-100m, a 77 RW goes for 300m.
6) Tactics, learn how they work, read everything that everyone says about it, use your PL to test things out, even if it means you come last in your PL.
7) Find out what all the stats and skills actually do. Even before I was an @, I tried to help all the newbs in the game, simply because you learn much more by being the teacher. Scarily enough, I have read every post in every forum from the day the game was created and the majority of the posts in the Spanish version(even though I have to google translate them).
8) work out how to make extra money, there are quite a few little tricks to make money. Although GB's is one of the better ones, things like buying low morale players, hostile clauses, the free GK hire/train/fire method all work. There's probably other ways now.
