If you choose to START A NEW GAME  from the opening screen you will  be asked
whether you wish to  use an existing  'real-world' team or to name  your own.
If you wish to manage  your own favourite  club you can choose any one of the
92 English league  clubs. You can then choose whether to use our  pre-defined
fictional squad or  a squad  based on  the actual club. If you  choose actual
players you can use the 16 players we have predefined for that club or define
them yourself by choosing to  CUSTOMise them. We recommend you do that as our
understanding of those players is probably inferior to yours.
    If you choose to name your own team then you will be  given the fictional
squad automatically. You can  CUSTOMise the fictional  players if you wish by
using the customisation option from the opening screen. You can customise the
reserve and youth squads as well with this but it's a long-winded procedure.
    If you do decide  to customise  squads then you  will need to  define the
players'  skills. These  are defined  in % terms. An  average Premier  League
skill is 70% and ranges  between  60 and 85%. If you do decide  to exaggerate
the skills the  computer will  scale down  your  ratings while  retaining the
overall  balance of these  skills. This  isn't true  when you  decide to EDIT
players in the other league teams.
