Billy Bob Bobertson Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I took over a team that had a player who wasn't good enough. Under the previous manager he was a First team regular (and performed badly). I stopped playing him, put him up for transfer (no one wants him at half his value even). He is upset obviously and has even skipped a couple practice sessions. He has been fined for that and fined because he got 2 stupid red cards in 2 games. NOW, it seems that he is kicking ass in practice (when he shows up). In the last 2 weeks, 4 of my players have received multiple-week injuries (2 of them are First Team regulars) from this player. Is this just a coincidence or should I just cut my losses and release the player? He is valued at 4.4 million but I have offered him to clubs as low as 2.5 and no one takes the offer. :\ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suge Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Play him until he starts firing. Either that or sell him for 1/3 of his value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilSaint Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I'd try demoting him to subs squad or ultimately just releasing him. It will defenitely cost you less than keeping him or try to keep selling him for lower values, maybe propose loaning him out, i've found sometimes teams are more willing to loan a player rather than buying him plus if you release him chances are your squad morale will improve, as he seems to be quite the nuissance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bob Bobertson Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 I should mention that this is at a club fighting relegation, with no good income and already negative 30 million in the bank...so if I release him he's going to cost me, if I sell him I can at least get some money...but the question is if I keep him around long enough to sell...is he just going to keep injuring my other players?

LilSaint Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 in that case i'd definetely demote him, this way he can't injure your first team regulars in training and you can still keep him to sell in the near future.. although it will probably devaluate him somewhat good luck with him anyways!

whilewolf2 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I think its likely a coincidence I don't credit the AI with being advanced enough to do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenzar Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 There really needs to be an option to punish players who injured others in training. Why say x was injured by y when you can't react to it (other than if x got an injury with multiple treatment options). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AjaxNo1 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Do you have feeder clubs, if so you could send him there on loan, it would get him out of your training ground Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
