what do you go for? money spinning away friendlies? easy morale boosting easy win friendly? or a mixture of both?

retired_sargent

I always go for morale boosting easy away tours, followed by morale boosting easy home games against local non-league opposition.

Always home friendlies, with a mixture of very easy to very hard opponents. Both for money and morale.

anyone who has the misfortune of agreeing to play a friendly against my bunch of misfits

In my first season with Dynamo Dresden (german regionals), they had some prearranged friendlies against some Bundesliga teams - stadium was almost sold out every time, and the income from friendlies accumulated to almost 1,5 million euro.

Unfortunately, all those teams declined invitations for further friendlies the years after....which makes me think that the prescheduled friendlies are somewhat strange.

I noticed if I try to select some lucrative friendlies I get turned down. So, in my current season I decided to let the ass. man arrange them. Surprise, surprise, Celtic and Southhampton made visits to Stair Park for friendlies, which generated a nice pre-season revenue. Try letting the ass man set them up and you might see some nice results.

I get my Assistant to arrange friendlies. I like the surprise.

Have had some cracked games, like at home against Sparta Prague. Away to Leeds.

Agreed. It takes all I've got to scream at the little blobs on the screen to mark their men. I can't be bothered trying to arrange friendlies anymore

Aye, can't be arsed to arrange friendlies myself. One season however my assistant (as well as all of the cpu managers) failed to arrange any friendlies and I didn't notice it until a few days before the league started. I was lucky the opponents were about as fit as a certain fat geordie themselves.

Money isn't all that great from friendlies, even if you manage to sell out, the ticket prices are much lower.
