If this is the first time you are using the program or you are not using a Customised DATA FILE (See Section 4), just press RETURN. Otherwise, place your Customised DATA FILE tape in the cassette recorder and then press RETURN.
This consists of five phases.
Phase 1 - Weekly Options

Morale - is 10 at the start of the season; it increases when you win and decreases when you lose.
Defence - is the total skill rating of all the Defenders picked to play in your team.
Midfield - is the total skill rating of all the Defenders picked to play in your team.
Attack - is the total skill rating of all the Attackers picked to play in your team.
Phase 3 - Results of a Match

This gives you details of your income and Expenditure. Followed by the Weekly Balance giving your profit or loss for the week.
Phase 5 - Transfer Market
The five phases are repeated until 22 League Matches and all your F.A. Cup Matches have been played; then the game moves to Part 3.
1. Defender, Midfield player or Attacker - is indicated by the letters D, M or A respectively in the far left-hand column.
2. Player's name.

5. Energy - in the range 1 to 20. The energy rating of each player reduces by one for each match he plays in; it will increase by 10 if he does not play in a match. Part of the skill of the game is in resting the right players to increase their energy without doing too much harm to the Skill rating of the complete team.
