I am a newbie to FM2011, and while the game is quite self-explanatory, I still have a few questions.
1) (major question) why is my club constantly at financial loss? I have a rather strong team and as such, I never made any changes: didn't sign any new players, didn't increase salaries, etc.. I am still at only 50% of what board allows me to spend on transfers and wages, but any time I look at finances, the club is at negative balance. Is it my responsibility? If so, what should I do to improve? The team is constantly winning, the confidence is good, so if the stadium is not filling up, not sure why.. Should I be concerned and what should I do?
2) my team has the reserve squads B and C. am I responsible for those, too? I never see any matches they play, as they play in much lower divisions. am I responsible for singing or selling players in reserve squads? they are not worth much money though..
3) my assistant always tells me to "go strong but fair" on somebody. while I found all setting about opposition team, this one I cannot find. what should I change, where is the setting?
4) my assistant always tells me there is a gap between midfield and attack. I think I should assign a playmaker, but how do I go about doing it? where is a setting to make somebody a playmaker? cannot find it.
5) and my last question: one player has a sign, smth like "Frt" (even with glasses on, I cannot really tell, but I think it's Frt). what does it mean?
thanks in advance for any feedback.
