Assistant Manager

### **Overview**

You can choose to have your assistant manager help you run aspects of your club. Your assistant can play daily cards for you, collect cash or token rewards you receive from fixtures, league matches and grounds, as well as running technical and physical training for you. Your assistant manager does not work for free though, so there is a small cost in tokens for the tasks they do, unless you have a Premium Subscription, in which case they work for free.

The assistant manager is designed for those days when you don’t have time to actively go in and run your club, so you can just log-in, open the dashboard (from the globe in the top right-hand corner). From there you delegate tasks to your assistant. You can then go and log-out should you wish to and your assistant will then have been tasked with your orders, or you can continue to do things in the game (including doing things you delegated to your assistant previously!).  Your assistant will only do these tasks for the day you delegate them, not for subsequent days i.e. if you want to use your assistant manager every day, then you have to delegate them every day.

### **Assistant Manager Options**

Your assistant can be delegated to do any of the following tasks:

1. Collect cash and token rewards
2. Run skill and physical training
3. Play daily cards

### **Collect Cash and Token Rewards**

If you delegate your assistant manager to collect cash and tokens then they will collect all daily rewards you receive from your grounds, fixtures and league matches, as well as rewards for building upgrade completions.

### **Run Skill and Physical Training**

If you delegate your assistant to run training then they will run both skill and physical training at the end of the current day.

### **Play Daily Cards**

If you delegate your assistant to play daily cards they will do so for you. They follow an in-built logic to do this:

* Your assistant has a list of priorities that it uses for playing cards, and will work through them in order. The priority order is: Training cards, Health Cards, Contract Cards, Tactic Cards.
* Your assistant will play cards up to the energy supplied by that building. If, at the end of going through all the card playing areas, the assistant finds they have energy left over, then they will go back to the top of the priority list and see if they can play more cards.
* Your assistant will only play daily cards – it will never play any collectable cards you may have. In addition, your assistant will only ever play cards in to the current day slots i.e. they won’t play cards into future slots.
* Your assistant will first look to play cards that generate synergy bonuses. If one exists then they will play the highest energy card that provides this synergy bonus into a free slot (epic cards count as the highest energy card for this purpose). If more than one option, then decides which slot to fill randomly, and then repeats to the next synergy slot.
* After trying to play synergy cards your assistant then plays the highest energy card into an empty slot they can, and repeats this process until all slots are filled or until they have no more cards or energy to play. When multiple slots are available it will randomly determine which one to play into.
* Once they have finished with that card playing area they will move down to the next area in their priority list. Once they have gone through the list then will go back to the first area again to see if there are any more cards they could play and so on, until the assistant has gone through all priority areas once again, at which point your assistant stops.

### **Special Rules for Card Play**

There are a few special rules for different priority areas:

#### **Training**

Your assistant will prioritise training regimes you have created yourself, before playing cards into the default regime.

#### **Medical**

Because serious injuries are the ones that need to be fixed up first your assistant will progress through the synergy and non-Synergy card playing process in order of injury severity:

1. All locations with Serious Injuries
2. All location with Moderate injuries
3. All locations with Minor Injuries
4. All locations with Niggle Injuries

i.e. Your assistant will first just look to see if there are any players with serious injuries and look to play synergy cards and then normal cards to deal with those injuries. Once this has been completed your assistant will look at moderate injuries, then with minor and, finally, at niggle injuries.

#### **Contract**

Your assistant will only play a single card on a contract per day and will prioritise playing cards into the highest PL player negotiation. Your assistant will play cards into the slot reducing the signing on bonus, not contract length.

#### **Match Tactics**

Your assistant will play the highest energy Tactic card it can into a slot. Because the assistant cannot analyse strengths and weaknesses, the card will have to be a random one.
