Don't be afraid to terminate bad contracts but when offering new ones always be thinking about the next window and who is going to be shopping for what. Don't waste your time or get frustrated on players that won't sell, stick them on the unwanted list and let your AI deal with it. Just because you walk away from a deal doesn't mean its dead sometimes its great to play hardball look at Bale with Real Madrid. You can always test the water on the sale to see how much you can get absolutely. If the AI has the money, the player meets the requirements, it will make the bid up to its max threshold to acquire its as simple as that. The player manager has all sorts of emotional attachment and value bias that isn't real to the AI. Remember the AI knows what the player is worth exactly. Look at Mahrez at LC, I believe he was bought for 400k from Nantes or Nice and now hes 30 million pound plus. When I buy players for my clubs I'm often thinking about which clubs down the road are going to be able to buy my "ripe" player down the road and for how much. Always be thinking about resale and increasing the value and ultimately the profit returned to club. The big thing about transfers is doing the due dilligence on what you buy in the first place. So you can exploit the hell out of this by buying their homegrown unhappy players to create the AI demand and then sell them homegrown needed players at healthy mark ups. Every year Man City will buy homegrown talent to bench, that gets pissed off after 6 months of not playing to sell on the cheap without ever getting a game. Easy example is home grown players for rich clubs like manchester city. Understanding what leverage you have with the player they want is half the battle. Its important to understand the situation the AI finds itself in is it a critical first team signing, nice to have upgrade, a make weight backup, or someone that if you don't sell they have thousands of alternatives for. Are they missing a position within the first team, did some huge club just poach a star and they are trying to scrape by on the cheap with your dross. So you can go ahead with loans and wind down their contracts at least being partially compensated for the player being crap and not good enough for your squad or you can get creative.įirst look at the team that is trying to fill the void with your loan player. Now who makes offers for loan is telling you that within that AI squad there is a gap, either in ability or position that your player fills.

Offer them out wages full plus monthly up to 250k, then reduce it to wages full, wages half, wages free and see who comes knocking. So how do you put your crap in the shop window and hope that some AI sucka will pick up the tab? Its all about loan status, basically use the loan flag to see who is interested in your player. Once you list the AI knows you don't want this player so what they are prepared to pay drops. So the AI will open offer you less than that usually with several different payment incentives upto that valuation. The valuation that your looking at is the price the AI will pay if they approach with no transfer status. Previous versions you could get mutual terminations but for whatever reason SI decided that was never going to happen in the last update.Īs soon as you list your guy the AI wants a bargain. If you have realized it, maybe the AI knows this too, and really the only guarenteed way you are going to shift that crap is loan or free transfer. What you have to consider is that the guys you want to get rid of are probably crap. The AI wants those players but they will rarely pay any premium over their valuation unless that valuation doesn't accurately reflect their real value and ability. The guys that you are getting offers for in general are going to have awesome seasons. But the AI is just making the rounds disrupting my squad harmony and having me worry about renewing contracts that still have 4 years left to go because the AI thought I would jump to sell my captain for 50% off even though we just won the league. I always run a small DB the reason being is I don't want a ton of competition flooding the market.Īt the start of the window I normally get terrible offers for players that I don't want to sell. The transfer list just seems to be populated by guys that nobody wants, that are on insane wages that no one can afford. First thing whoever you want to sell don't list them. So selling is so difficult in this version but honestly transfers have been ♥♥♥♥ for years.
