Scouting
There are two ways of acquiring new, young players.
The first one is connected with scouting.
Location- here, we choose the region of our searches;
Role- who are we looking for?
Striker, defender, midfielder?
Unfortunately, it is possible that although the salary is extremely high, our scout will return with nothing.
Youth academy
Youth academy gathers young people, who want to be professional footballers in the future.
From time to time, somebody leaves the youth academy and tries to join your squad.
This is the second way of acquiring young players.
They’re, of course, beginners.
They haven’t got experience, but on the other hand, their salary is quite low.
PressOffer Contractin order to incorporate a player into the team.
Contracts
Sometimes, we’ll have to raise the salary of our players.
Now, let’s check thePlayer Contractsmenu.
Here, we can see the conditions of agreements we made with our men.
If you want to renew a contract, select a particular player and pressRenew Contract.
Take a look at the picture above, at the list located on the left.
Now let’s check the right column.
There, we can see, how long the current contract will remain, its terms andRenewal Cost.
Note, that player can always reject your offer.
So keep an eye on contracts and terms of expiry.
Search for new players before the older ones retire.
That’ll help you avoid loses at the beginning of a new season.
If a certain contract expires soon, we’ll receive a admonition.
We can also check such agreements inContract Alertsmenu.
Experience
As you probably know, players gain experience during matches.
We can make it faster by hiring new coaches and upgrading Medical Staff (Staff Upgrades).
Raising salary helps too.
Morale raises when a footballer often plays on the pitch.
On the other hand, it is possible that always-substitute players may lose their football abilities.
If you want to check, how footballers' experience will shape in future, openPlayer Growthmenu.

The bar chart on the right shows, how advanced player’s abilities will be in the next seasons.
In our example, overall estimation (OVR) of our footballer will oscillate around 79 points.
After a match, we can check, how experience of our men raises.
