I really think all you newbies should have a go at selecting a team on your own first. Guys like Adarsh (Cricket Geniuses), PC (The Falcons), Ste (Everton), and myself amongst many other of the first teams here were on our own when it came to choosing our teams. I say it is best you do it yourself. That is the only way you'll get a hang of the game. It really is no fun if someone tells you what to do and how to train. I imagine that if it happened to me when I joined, I would have gotten bored very quickly. It was a lot more fun discovering for myself...
