Like any club owner, you have to build your club from the ground up!

Your initial squad will be mostly Iron players (the lowest rating in the game). You'll have a budget to work within (the Salary Cap) and a little bit of space in the squad to add more players. Your Salary Cap and squad slots will increase as you upgrade your club.

You can upgrade your squad by signing players offered by an Agent or through the 'Loan Market'. Agent-offered players will join your club on a contract (initially for 3 matches), whereas loan players will join temporarily, just for one game. Loan players can give you a boost ahead of a difficult head-to-head, or if you have gaps in your squad that need filling.

As you level up your club, you're more likely to be offered better players from Agents.
