For new teams I think most people would recommend a doctor, trainer (if you have trainees) and a youth trainer (if you have 18-19 year old trainees).

Prices vary depending on various factors, but here is a rough suggestion as to prices you might pay:

* An advanced (level 4) doctor. Signing fee close to $0, weekly salary around $12k or lower.
* An advanced (level 4) trainer. Signing fee up to $50k (if you search well you may find cheaper), weekly salary around $15k or lower.
* An advanced (level 4) youth trainer. Signing fee close to $0, weekly salary around $12k or lower.

Some also recommend a basic (level 2) PR manager with a speciality, as the speciality gives your home or away performance a very small boost. You can get one for close to $0 signing fee and $5k weekly wage.

A Sports Psychologist may be useful for teams at the higher levels, but is unnecessary for a new team in it's first few seasons.

A Nutritionist is rarely used unless there is a specific need, it's possible you may never hire one.

I'm not sure a new team would need a level 4 doctor. a couple injuries on a new team is unlikely to be a big setback while the 10k+ salary could be used somewhere else. personally I would say a level 2 doc with massage or even the basic lvl 1 doc would be acceptable until the team starts competing for serious promotion

Yeah I probably agree, I had a level 1 doctor on my Utopia team for the first couple of seasons. I guess I didn't want to stray too far from the conventional advice.

Imho, just a level 4 trainer for a few seasons. Then a level 2 doc with spe massage could be a nice improvement when you'll try to get more competitive.

Your first goal is to build strong weekly income and a decent roster + some 18 yo trainees. Upgrade regularly your arena for more income, mainly bleachers and lower tier. The faster you'll improve your arena, the faster your income ( and your team) will improve.

Youth trainers are definitly a waste of money for new teams. 15/20k per week for like +1/3 skills on a whole season, definitly not worth especially when you are not familiar with training optimisation.
