FD 27 Direct Your Football Club FD 27 Priorities Hub
Not a player power ranking. An order of operations for the board.
FD 27: Direct Your Football Club does not need an S-tier striker list in version 0.1. It needs an order of operations. This hub ranks decisions, not cards. If you spend August on a name and January on an empty treatment room, the ranking already failed.
Start with the staff hire order. Medical first, sporting director second, marketing third, finance last in a small division. That sequence is the closest thing this wiki will publish to a meta. It comes from how delayed the medical bill is, not from a spreadsheet of hidden overalls.
Then read facilities priority. Eight buildings exist: stadium, training ground, gym, medical department, official store, museum, offices, scouting centre. Training and medical feed Saturday. Museum and store flatter the minutes you should have spent on wages. Youth coaches stay invisible until the academy building exists, so hunting that job title before the brickwork is wasted clicking.
Club picks ranks chairs for a first save, not for prestige. League One and Segunda sit at the top of a teaching list because wages hurt. Premier League sits at the bottom of that same list because television money hides the lesson. Pair it with how to pick a club and the club picker tool.
These lists talk to the guides, they do not replace them. How to hire staff explains attributes and salaries. Facilities explains unlocks. How to get sponsors ranks shirt above sleeve for a reason. How to manage finances tells you when a loan is a training ground and when it is a striker-shaped millstone.
Early Access v0.1 will move. Patch notes already changed lower-division markets, merchandising weight, museum economics and injury rates. Revisit this hub after you read patch notes. A priority list that never updates is just a blog post with confidence.
If you want a printable sequence rather than a ranking, use the first season checklist. Rankings tell you what to value. Checklists tell you what to do on Tuesday.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for the boardroom questions owners actually search.
Is this a player tier list?
No. Version 0.1 is too small and too live for a stable striker ranking. We rank hires, buildings and chairs instead.
What is S-tier here?
Medical staff and the training ground. Everything else is downstream. See staff hire order.
Should I restart if I hired backwards?
Not always. Medical is the delayed bill. Fix it now and use a monthly save slot before the next window. Getting Started explains the three slots.
