The Most important upgrade initially is capacity - Upgrade stadium to 20000 before upgrading the rest

This will take 60 weeks (almost 2 seasons) This sounds like a long time, but it is Vital so persevere

Once you have a 20000 stadium your next upgrade is the Club Shop - Upgrade to Level 1

Next upgrade Restaurant to Fast Food

Now Upgrade Advertising Space to Simple ad boards - This will start your advertising income which is a Good source of Income for League Games

Then upgrade your Club Shop to Medium and then Large

Now upgrade your Restaurant to Pub and then Restaurant

Now upgrade your Score board from Manual all the way to Plasma Screen Wall. Each upgrade allows you to charge Higher ticket prices whilst still getting the same crowd

You can now upgrade your stadium capacity to 35000

This will ensure a Good Income and you can now start improving your team

There are two upgrades that help with your team's performance on the Field

They are Heating and Training Facilities

You can now upgrade your stadium's heating to Soil Heating. This will give you an advantage for Home League Games

Now upgrade your Training Facilities from Normal all the way to Excellent. This will help you get better team training stats which will help your team's performance

Now upgrade the remaining Advertising space from Simple ad boards all the way to LCD Boards

You can now upgrade Soil Heating to Extendible roof to give your team added Home ground advantage

Lighting allows for TV Broadcasting of League Games. This is a very good source of Income, but only happens in Divison 3 and above. If you are in Divison 3 and above Upgrade Lighting to all levels untill you reach FIFA Max

Now upgrade your stadium capacity to 45000. Note you will not get crowds larger than 45000 unless you are in Div 3 or above

VIP boxes generate income for teams in Div 3 and Above. If you are in Div 3 or above start upgrading the VIP Boxes to 1000. If you are in Div 2 upgrade to 1500

Income for VIP BOxes

1. div: $200 per seat
2. div: $150 per seat
3. div: $100 per seat

If you are in Divison 3 and above you can now upgrade capacity to higher than 45000, but remember that you will need to upgrade your Car Park if you plan to fill a stadium bigger than 45000

Upgrading Youth Academy is a tough choice. It will help you to get better youths, but in Lower divisions it is not much use. The Youth's quality is largely based on Luck and improving the academy gives low value for money and time in my Opinion
