Various Gameplay Tips
We all like to play offense but in this game defense is the key. Early on, spend most of your time figuring out how to either steal or play hard making your opponents difficult to score.
At first focus on clearing seasons because your team doesn't yet possess enough skill to shine elsewhere and you can earn coins and other rewards as you clear seasons.
Also build up a solid team instead of hunting for star player. Focus on adding as many players to your roster, the ones with rating score above 60 cost between 200-500 coins, as possible.
By completing achievements you'll receive coins as an incentive, card packs and other such rewards. So, make sure you know achievements you need to finish.
Use Auctions to make money by selling high and buying low.
Learn special moves like spin moves, fadeaways, behind the back and so on for clear dominance over opponents players.
When the game is on in the upper right corner of the screen you can find play button that allows you to use auto play option so you don't have to play each and every game manually. Especially useful for games when you know you are a better team.
Complete the sets for more coins. If you can try completing a team and you'll get coins as reward.
