So you're thinking about applying for a B Team. Here are a few tips and general info that could be useful.

Tips:

- Your B Team is an extension of your Main squad and you should always remember that ultimately your Main squad's results are all that matters.

- Try players out of position in your B Team to assess their adaptability. You don't want to be playing around with this in important Main team games later in their career.

- Don't waste money on players for your B Team just to fill that squad. Investing in youngsters to develop and sell on at a profit or develop for your first team is fine. Spending cash on a journeyman to just to play for your B Team is a waste of cash you could invest in the team that matters, your Main team

- Always play your most promising youths in your B Team even if they haven't started to develop. It could cost your B Team results but getting your best talent's routine up as high as possible before he steps up to your Main squad is much more important.

- Monitor your B Team squad for injury prone players. If he's a crock you might want to get rid of him.


General Info:

- Reserve Teams are a Pro feature only.

- It costs 15 Pro days to activate a B Team for three months.

- A red banner will appear onscreen when your B Team is close to expiry.

- Your B Team will not generate any revenue.

- Getting a B Team when you don't have youths to develop that could eventually play for your Main team is a waste of pro days.

- If you don't have enough players to fill a B Team your squad you will get rubbish players (old & low ASI) to make up the numbers.

- When you move players between your squads (Main & Reserve) they will be tied to that squad for three days. Never leave your Main Squad short of good players to chase results with your B Team.

- Some players will refuse to play for your B Team. It's usually players with poor professionalism or high ASI.

- You can rename your B Team as much as you like but avoid inappropriate names that could get you in trouble.

- The five foreigner rule applies to B Teams.

- A player getting high routine (or goals) for your Reserves in a low Division doesdn't mean he'll do it when he steps up to your Main team in a higher Division.

- You must move players to your Main team before you can place them on the transfer list.

- A friendly Cup & Shield is run through the Irish forum each season for Irish B Teams. It's free to enter and can give and can add a competitive edge to friendly nights.
