Would like to know how to play our MLS Standard Game? I’m going to try to explain the process. Of course, you can find a detailed description in the How to Play and Help sections of the site.
So the first thing you should do is to click the JOIN TO PLAY button on the left side of the home page and register as a member. Once you’ve done that, you will need to fill your squad and create your team. You do that by clicking on the position of the player you want to add on the field. You then scroll down to the table below and click the player you want to add that plays that position. Remember, you’re the manager and have to work with a budget of 100 million. So you really can’t choose all the best players but you can try to choose the ones that will give you the best value. Once you’ve selected your players, you name and confirm your team.
Now you have a team. What do you do next? Well, the trick is to understand that your team collects points when your players do. So the more matches your players play, the higher the probability that they earn your team points. You should drop and add players based on when their next match is. You can see the next match to be played for your players on your Team Page and for all the players in the Player Stats table.
Let’s suppose only half your players are playing on Saturday and the other half on Sunday. If you want your team to earn more points, you should drop the players that are playing on Sunday and add players that are playing on Saturday. Once all the Saturday matches are over, you can drop those players and pick up players that are playing on Sunday. As an example, let’s suppose that striker Bradley Wright-Phillips, midfielder Clint Dempsey and goalkeeper Bill Hamid are on my team. All three of them are playing on Saturday. After the matches are over on Saturday, I decide to drop them and pick up players who have matches on Sunday. I do so by either selecting the “-” sign above any player on my team or by selecting my team from the Transfers header. I drop Wright-Phillips by clicking on the “-” sign next to his name and add striker Robbie Keane from the table below by clicking on the “+” sign next to his name. I then drop Dempsey and add midfielder Kaká in the same manner. I choose to replace Hamid with goalkeeper Bobbie Shuttleworth. I can repeat the process every time I want to replace players. Don’t forget that the total value of your team cannot go above 100 million. That means that if you add the price of all your players together, you should not go above 100M. This same budget applies to your team when you replace the players on your team.
One more thing to keep in mind: make sure that the players you want to start are not on your bench. You can place a bench player in your starting squad by clicking on the player and moving him above the player you want to replace. Remember to keep pressing your mouse button while doing the maneuver.
Okay, that’s enough for now. Please ask questions or make comments in the comment box.
Enjoy and manage to win!
