It may sound counterproductive since your trying to maximize your points, but just make sure you don't get injured... Only practice when its nearly a sure thing that you won't get injured (0-4% for example).. You miss out on some of the multiple practice in 1 wk bonuses.. However if you buy the anti-injury necklace you have a better chance without having to worry 'as much' about it..

Practice every time you see the coach. Buy about 3 Prince's necklaces near the beginning.

And it's 07 lance, the coach always sees you practice.

No, passing in 07 couldn't be much easiar. Are you on the right forum Jackson? Just making sure haha, because your guidelines are great for 08 but not so useful for 07.

i didn't use gambling for most of my players. They didn't end up being very good though, but I'll try:
In Year 1, as soon as you see the scout, rest if nessicary (i know its misspelled). Practice as much as possible to make sure you make the team. In the game, hit for contact. Most likely, your power will be terrible and you won't be able to hit well.
Make sure to either study in the first few turns or so, or buy the mind training necklace. As soon as you get to Lvl. 1 Bookworm, you will not need to study again. Also, make sure to have a Shuffle Whistle handy. That's as much as I can think of right now. Hope this helps.
